That is worthy OF some consideration

ment Tor sewers IS oppressive and
needless, and II ought not TO be inn
posed under present conditions
We have nothing to say against that
which has been urged on the benefits
OF sewers. nor on the policy OF forbid
ding further cesspools, nor on the adj
mitted necessity OF improvement IN
sanitary regulations. They are not
new nor are they disputed, The only
point Is. cannot the projected exten.

ceeded with gradually, and the assess
ment for It be held back for q while,
until he people IN the poorer parts OF
the district can clear themselves from
present tax burdens, and catch a

new financial effort?
We do not think this needs any
lengthy debate, II tho Council wants
people to do an imposslbIity, or force
them to sell or mortgage their homes,
20 satisfy a hurry Of eagerness for
something that is not any more press
ing now than heretofore. let that body

Of It. Give the taxpayers a little time
and the extension may be made without
a protest and without ill-feellng from
any source. We hope good judgment
win prevail in this case, and that the
adage there is a time for all things"
win not be ignored. Don't be IN too
great rush, that's all.

they had any relatives or other home

knows nothing about their lives what

OF old, prays loud and long In conspicu-
Gus places for the heather, and sends
large sums through foreign missions to

unselfish would be the religion that
could put her In touch with the home
