WHEEL FACTORY MATTER

EDITOR OF JOURNAL The commu
/ nicAtion in your last weeks issue signed
! by "Councilmau" would seem to indi
cato that all the "reputable citizens
Of our village are not members OF oul
Village Council, for which-thanks,
| AS TO the insinuatiou contained In
that communication that any reputa
| BILE citizen" outside of the Council
might, could, or would oppose any
measure which would be thought tt
be for the betterment OF the interests
of our village and OF its citizens, I say
that in any opinion such insinuaton
was entirely uncalled for and out OF
place, and more especially when COM
ing from one of our own public servants
placed in authority by majority OF
the votes of those same reputable cit
zens."
1, however, believe, Mr.. Editor, that
you and all other reputable citizens"
outside of the Council are more than
pleased 10 know the Council have at
last, "got a move on themselves" and
If nothing more, propose to at least
make feint OF doing something If not
PREVENTED BY THE INTERFERENCE
OF REPUTABLE CITIZENS.
IT this action of the Council is taken
in good faith, and by the Council
really believed to be for the best inter-
ests of the Village, what occasion for
any insinuation that ANY REPUTABLE
CITIZEN outside of the Council would
in any manner attempt INTERFERENCE.
| am conyinced it is only in the fertile
imagination of some of the CITY FAITH
ERS that this '.lion appears in the way"
l say Amen-leJ the good work go on.
| believe there are at least as many
REPUTABLE CITIZENS outside of the
Council as in it, and possibly more who,
regardless of any selfish motive or per-
sonal profit are really and earnestly
desirous of advancing the interests Of
our village, and although they may not
always agree with the Council or some
of its individual members as to the bet
ter course 10 pursue, yet l hold their
opinions and views are entitled to just
consideration without being charged
with INTERFERENCE.
1t is true we have been waiting n
number of years for some MOVEMENT
in the wheel factory matter and at
loss of Sl5, 900 or $4,000 each year in
the way of distribution of wages as had
been arranged for, when some of our
reputable citizens thought it their
privilege and duty to interfere with
such arrangements, but have learned
indirectly that some negotiation is now
pending whereby the corporation may
receive some $4,000 or $4,000 OF the
amount originally invested in the
scheme. Again ] say Amen-I do cer-
tainly hope the Council will not weary
in we'll doing" but move right along and
close the deal as soon as possible, and
not take too much time to THEoRIZE
er.the matter for fear the other
party may change his mind.
1t seems almost too good to be true,
but hoping no REPUTABLE CITIZEN will
but 'keep hands off," and
that the wheel factory may be not only
OPEN FOR BUSINESS ON JANUARY lst,
1898, but business actually commenced
on that date, is the earnest wish of an
EX-CoUNCILMAN.

Accounts on . Stick.

Two centuries ago it wasn't as easy q
matter to keep accounts as it is now.
Not only were many people ignorant of
writing and arithmetic, but paper and
account books Were scarce and rare. For
this reason merchants, doctors, lawyers
and even the government of Great Brit
ain kept their accounts by making
nOtches on willow sticks, very much as
boy would tally runs in o game of
ball
Small notches represented pence,
larger ones shillings and still larger
ones pounds sterling. When the account
vas all notched out, the stick was split
down its length 20 that the notches
would show on both pieces. One half
was given to the buyer and one half was
retained by the seller. When the nc.
count was paid. these tally sticks were
Joined together and laid away. One can
iM4gihe how much work and trouble
such q system would make in these days
