tees Wednesday night. At this
there was q discussion OF
such problems as roads, lights, the
water system sewerage, policing, fire
The differences OF opin
on were considered in spirit OF
fairness and goodwill. There was
harmony of spirit between the trus
.ees aud those who attended the
meeting and some difficult points
we're cleared up. The meeting re-
,ulted In cordial cooperation. The
taxpayers present volunteer
ID certain contributions toward re-
luirements that were made neces-
'ary because of the summer proper
".
The meeting has q Significance

business Of the evening. 1t is a /
tep in the right direction. II the
permanent residents and the local
'fficers and the summer residents |
'ould occasionally get together to
llscuss the needs and conditions Of |

ng of goodwill and cooperation all
round. In addition TO this il woul l

would be well worth while.
IL the capable young men OF our
districts can be made to
ealize the opportunities that are
heirs these districts will begin to
rosper In a way that they have nev-
r pfospered In the past. With such
beginning as that In Sunderland
