be no use building an auditorium in

Why not use it? That's what it's
for, and save the expense Of putting
one in the proposed school building

Another saving that might be made,
is to cut out the, swimming pool and

Mallet Creek

The splendid article on the school
building proposition at Mallet Creek
written BY one of our old friends, v
A. Hinman, recently, prompts me as
correspondent of the Sentinel to make
some further comments on the subject
The people of York township first
voted down the bond issue last sprung
by not a large majority, but tor soms
reason the majority did not rule, and
another election was held. This time
| the whole township turned out and
defeated the issue again. \ Then there
was stamping and gnashing Of teeth
and many unkind things were said on
both sides that had better been left
unsaid. Now, why this overwhelm'
ling defeat? There certainly was 3
cause, but / do not believe the defeat
was due to any one cause only, bun
several causes, conversation carried on
by little groups Of men and women as
we'll, before and after the vote, told
III way the feeling on the subject.
Ii is believed that few voted against
the proposition on account OF higher
taxes. Some thought that S75,OOo.oc
was too great price, and that added
to it. the amount necessary to prop-
'SerIy equip such a structure would
swell the amount to we'll over 800
900: This understand, is>not an OPP
iinion, but simply the idea Of some
Of the voters. Another cause was the
unkind remarks toward voters in vari-
Gus parts Of the township for not sup
porting the measure the first time.
Still another cause was that IT was
thought an inopportune time to try to
erect such building, as material was
bound TO come down in the near fu-
ture. All these things and perhaps
others helped to bring about the de-
feat Of the bond ssue. | can not be-
lieye it was because the majority Of
York township people did not wish to
give their children as good as children
Of other townships have. It Is hard
~ fair to- suppose such could be the
case. The greatest thing to be re-
GREETED is the fact that this school
house business has caused something
like big family quarrel here in our
little burg. Personally, / am glad
that Mr.. Hinman wrote SO plainly,
and without prejudice, as well as did
Mrs. Foskett few weeks ago. Such
sober thought articles are lot more
sensible than to 60 to the town hall
and spit fire at each other for a couple
OF hours and everyone 60 home Of the
same opinion he had when he went.
The issue to be voted on at the COM
ing election is for $4,000 instead Of
$75,000, and it would seem that the
time had come to build economically,
as. both material and labor is, reduced,
and will still be reduced after another
summer to the extent Of a saving of
several thousand dollars on such a
proposed building. Furthermore, if
the issue carries, the building could
and should be started ais soon ais the
schools close in the spring. Now, let
all Of us say to ourselves (not TO 9th.
ers), shame on us, and bury the hat
chet, deep and forever, and 60 back
to the good old times when York peo-
pie were known as one big Happy
family. Vote for the bond issue,
build this school house. and forget
forever the unpleasantness that: hoy
cred over York township all summer.
Why should York people pay for
using their own town hall, built larg-

British Shipbuilders I
Forced to Reduce Costs

Prospects of British shipbuiidinR are
still gloomy. according to w. J. Pare.
Trade Commissioner at London, for

Fail to Deliver Promptly.
shipbuilding trades are beginning to
realize that work must be speeded up
In British shipyards. Before the war
the best foreign customers which
British shipowners had were Norwe-
gian owners. and there L. reason to
believe that this would be true today
were It possible to get reasonable
deliveries.
Some time ago the Norwegian
American Line, of Christiania.
placed orders on the Clyde for four
steamers, each Of $500 dead-weight
tons. At the same time it placed
orders with Canadian Vickers Co.,
Montreal. for two sister ships and
gave an American company in Penn.
sylvania an order for an oil tanker.
Although the vessels built on the
American side Of the Atlantic were
ordered after those on the Clyde, they
were delivered first. and one of them
was completed exactly on the con.
tract date. OF the Clyde vessels, but
one has been delivered. two are sup.
posed to be fitting out. and one IL still
on the stocks.
Despite the general gloomy outlook
there is desire on the part of all
interested In shipbuilding to assist in
restoring the industry to normal con
dition. Labor In the bodybuilding and
marine engineering trades is at the
present time entirely free of strikes
and there Is prospect Of continued
harmony for the immediate future, az
