This Bill is an amendment to the Act and allows a certain section of a township to assess at large in that section for sideéwalks, and several other works but makes ‘no allowâ€" ances for waterworks construction.

In closing, let me quote from a paragraph published by the Chamber of Commerce, Indianapolis, Ind.: f "A new spirit is developing in industry, a spirit of a realization that all industry suffers hrough the misfortune of any factor. â€" The employer fails to prosper as his men fail to prosper. â€" Bad housing for the workmen means bad business for the one who hires. â€" In the light of this spirit, the primary question is not "What can the tenant afford?‘ It is, ‘What can Indianapolis afford"" If we are to develop in Indianapolis the highest type of civilization, if industry is to thrive permanently, if art and musi@are to serve their highest purpose, we must first recognize as an ¢ssential (preâ€"requisite to the realization of these high ideals, the providing of a home life for every family, rich or poor, that shall insure to them their inalienable right to sanitation, safety, ventilaâ€" tion, privacy, sunlight, space and beauty.". lt l Dec. 1 May 1 1V 6 section r the imâ€" leigureâ€" the fire to a fire ve it the hey â€" are »-()-Q-()-'()-0-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-()-4 31|22 10 19 15 § owners ino in ha 23 23 23 22 23 ive not the distributot sanitation? â€" Why n« ke it lear 110C 18 l1t The time is not far distarit â€" when the parking of automobiles on â€" Main street will have to be abqlished, and the sooner it is done the better . for all concerned, Grimsby needs a pubâ€" lic parking space and needs it badly and it is up to the town fathers to wake up to this fact and secure a proper parking grounds immediately., The traffic both local and foreign is getting so heavy that the town council if they wish to protect the limbs and lives of the people will have to ‘see that the traffic bylaw is strictly "Cnforced. Chief of Police Konkle has up until this season been abile to handle the job very satisfacâ€" torily, but he is a busy man and canâ€" not spend all his time walking up and down Main street making "Boob" automobilists live up to the law, nor can he be on duty twentyâ€"four hours a day. A second man should be apâ€" pointed to look after traffic ‘on this street, especiaily on Saturdays, Sunâ€" days and holidays. Trafic on Main street is heavier this spring than ever and , as the summer season advances ‘and the tourist traffic becomes greater the congestion will be great. Grimsby motorists who go into the cities live strictly up to the traffic laws, but when at home they seem to think that they can drive in any manner they please and park their automoâ€" biles anywhere and in any old kind of a position irrespective of laws, byâ€" laws, danger to other people or anyâ€" thing else. Grimsby‘s traffic bylaw will have to ‘be strictly enforced this summer if accidents are to be avoided and inâ€" jJuries with possible loss of life to pedestrians and motorists eliminated. With all the heavy traffic and conâ€" gestion on the roads no accidents of a serious nature happened.

This fact was impressed upon a representative of | the Standard when he dropped into the registry office Wednesday afterâ€" noon. One look convinced the scribe that the office force was working unâ€" der difficulties, and so a deputy was requested for permission to inspect the premises. The first thing which struck the scribe wag the fact that the private office of Registrar C. E. Fisher, who was out at the time of the visit, was occupied by a stenograâ€" pher and the door of the private room was opened to admit air, the window refusing to function. The building is far inadequate for the work required to be done, resulting in an accumuâ€" lation of work which will require many months / to clean out;, The vault of the office is full, requiring important deeds to be kept in other parts of the building, many being placed on shelves in the rrivate ofâ€" fice. This private office also . conâ€" tains uncopied deeds, among which a fire would cause untold loss and numerous legal battles. The condiâ€" tion of the Registry Office has been drawn to the attention of the County Council â€"by the Inspector of Legal Ofâ€" fices, and a request verging on a demand has been made by that official for a new building. However the Council thus far have contented themselves with inquiries into a new site, and conditions at the office grow worse. ~â€".
