MIDSUMMER MADNESS

If ever a production commended
itself to the public for the rare good
taste in which somewhat delicate
theme is handled this latest William
DeMille Offering has that distinction.
The theme of Midsummer Madness"
is not new, it has to do with the efforts
Acfs young and exceedingly attractive
wife to inspire the fading in too
practical husband, and of the near
tragedy when chance brings sympa-
thctic understanding in the person Of
her husbands best friend-who is,
incidentally, the husband of her best
friend-and of the abandonment of
moment, midsummer madness, that
nearly wrecks the lives of four people.
Thanks to the fine discrimination
of the director and to the perfect in
depreciation of a superb cast the
production is one that will stand out
in beautiful relief.

CIVIC WANTS LIGHT

AS the question of water works and

In all probability will soon be submit

town; think it not amiss to give ex-
preston to few thoughts l enter
tain upon the subject. AS to the need
OF these improvements, there can be
no question, it is an admitted fact.
But as to the when and how requires
careful consideration, and should not
! be gone into blindly.
Before the matter is forced into a
vote the citizens have the right to be
properly informed by those who have
the matter in hand. We cannot afford
to vote large bond issue without
knowing the value of our assessable
property, whether a reasonable assess
ment will meet the bond requirement.
1t seems to me that those who are
in position to know ought to candid.
ly inform the public how many mills
assessment upon the property of the
citizens will be necessary to raise the
sum to meet the expense of installing
the proposed system.
We are not in position at present
to add to our financial burdens how
ever desirable and necessary the pur-
pose.
Have the individual tax payers
thought of the extra expense of in
stalling in their homes toilets, baths,
lavatories ani sinks, the work thereto
in tapping the mains all of witch will
fall upon the property thus supplied
and this in addition to the levy to
meet princio:l and interst on bonds.
For installing these in the home on
extra outlay of from SIS to $50
Vii be required. Are you prepared
for it?
Please turn on the light and do not "
lead the people into this important
matter blindly. Owing to The peculiar
shape of our town, many of the tax
payers owing to the distance from the
center will not benefit by these i'm:
orovements and yet be compelled to
