THE people of CHARTERS township are jubi-

1t was not until charter had been applied for
that the public began to realize that such a
project was on foot. Many old residents who
say that they are tired climbing hills are will
ing to subscribe from $500 to 81 .0O0 as stock If
CHARTERS township can boast of ''rattling'
election, why cannot they boast of ''rattling'
electric road? By the time that this road is
completed the West End will have line, which,
it is hoped, will then complete the route to the
city. After this is accomplished the average
traveller will not consider it wearisOme half
days trip to the city.
