In the too practical life of growing centre, we are apt to overlook many of the little things which go to make existence more pleasant and which are real- ly essential in every community, The out- lay of 5,000, if: judiciously expended in planting trees and laying out roadways and walks in the park upon the hill, will be a se investment. These breathing spots i cities are-not-only beautiful, but add con- siderably to. their attractiveness. Modern municipal economies call for parks and many of them. We fall short in this respect in Medicine Hat, butit isn t-too late, to make gesses will see this light on Friday. -The establishment of a Y.W.C.A. in this city is becoming a more pressing necessity each day. The demand for it is even mor: insistent than for a similar institution fi men. The two differ somewhat in the aims, inasmuch as the Y.M.C.A. provid permanent rooming quarters for a numl) of its members, and within its portals young girls, who come to the city to earn a livli- hood, can obtain a comfortable home. It properly managed the institution should not become a burden for the municipality to earry but ought o pay its own way. i The reason actuating the; News in coupl- ing these two by-laws together for commen- dation is found in the cireumstance that for the city to obtain Central Park as a gift in fee simple it becomes obligatory for the burgesses to authorize both of the alove- mentioned grants. If the city will spend 5,000 in improving the land and make a donation of 16,000 towards a Y.W-C.A., the park is theirs. To receive a valuable piece of property for doing something whieh: should be under- taken anyway, is a proposition which PEPER EERE PEEP EEE binflnidnienteintetenteeteh should meet with favor in the eyes of all 1882 Dante Gabriel Possetti. day in sixteen or muore pages, and ceee by-law calling for th expenditure a start, and it is to be hoped that the bur- question in its proper) selves and lend.all the assistance they can to the officers.of the Canadian Highway 4 sociation in the good work th doing for Canada.

LEAN-UP DAY advocated by the Medicine Hat News, and inaugurated by the City Council last year, will again be held this year, probably in the course of the next week or so. The committee are at the present time dealing with the matter and preparing the plans for the securing of the tearns, and when this is done the date. will be announced and a public holiday pro claimed by Mayor Spencer. Last year the plans were not quite well enough made so that when the residents had cleaned up there-was-a great-difficulty j about securing teams for carting the refuse away. The council wishes to avoid a-repe- tition of this and are now busy securing the teams before they decide on the date, their the city will be available. sean) Sei tee oe ge ea A ND again we venture the query how is Medicine Hat going to house all the people Who wish to take up residence here this summer. The present indica- tions are that a great tent town annex will spring into existence in the suburbs. The contractors estimate that over three hun- pe tiew residences will be built, but this will not begin to meet the requirements. 30: oH TS Mormon propaganda in Sweden is : about to receive a death-blow.

The aim and purpose of the Canadian Highway Association, as is well known, is to establish a Transcontinental road that will reach from Halifax, N.S., to Alberni, B.C., and while it is not the inten- tion of this organization to do more than ed- ueate the public and act in an unofficial ad- visory capacity, it is yet doing much good work in this case sand will be largely in- strumental in getijng this Highway, four thousand miles long, completed within five years.

We were told (in advertising space en- gaged and paid for by the city on Saturday; but we were not told that Vultures have preyed on many a city until there was noth- ing left except for the Vultures. Where a city is financially able to build a street railway, and where the people are willing to build it when it 1s needed, no par- ticular hardship will be worked upon our city or our citizens by pursuing the policy which Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Regina and other Western cities have pursued turn down the franchise seekers and build the road themselves. The property owners: of Medicine Hat simply cannot afford to let this class of exploiting get a foothold in this good city: Every other western city has turned this class of thing down. Why should Medicine Hat be made an easy mark for a company or for promoters. There are two kinds of progress: Progress where general and community interests are concerned; and progress where SELFISH or corporate interests: are concerned. Up to the present Medicine Hat has been progressing along community lines. Her progress nas been substantial, clean and wholesome. WHAT VITAL THING I AT STAKE AT THE PRESENT TIME TO CHANGE HER FROM HER COURSE Here we are at the threshold of corporation in- Light for the future of this city. Pages of Corporation-Paid Ad- vertising, to BAMBOOZLE the Public and Voters of Medicine Hat, will not get away from the fact that vote for this By-Law on the , 12th will give a corporation all the rights maintained in these serie of advertisements. All the talk and bombast on earth will not change a coarse proposition. Sub-section (A) of Section 5, of the Company's Charter gives FS the Company this power: - Carry on the business of manufacturing, distributing, or supplying electricity and gas for lighting, heating, power or other purposes without the limits of the city of Medicine Hat, subject to the consent and approval of the Minister of Public Works of Alberta. If you as burgesses give your consent, is it likely that any Minister of Public Works will withhold his? Yoting for this by- law favorably is virtually conferring upon this corporation the gas and power and light franchise n what we hope will soon be a part of Medicine Hat. This is as plain as the nose on your face. -No honest. argument can get it away from the charter s provisions. You are at the parting of the ways. Which way, in this city s in- terests, are you going to travel? ,Corporations are hard task mas- ters. We would-be arrant fools to let these concessions away from the burgesses. We simply cannot afford to listen to the tempter. We.cannot afford to take this chance, Every western town has gone through this experience. The original of this Charter-as at first presented at Edmonton AFTER BEING PRESENTED TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND EN- DORSED, WAS SPOKEN OF FREELY AMONG THE MEMBERS OF THE MBLY AS ONE OF THE VILEST PIECES OF COR- PORATION LEGISLATION EVER PRESENTED TO THE: ALBER- TA HOUSE. THE ORIGINAL DRAFT.WAS THROWN OUT BY THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE AND A MORE MODERATE BILL ASKED FOR. a This is what you have before you now for approval or rejec- tion on the 12th. The real intent, the objects and interests of the corporation Were seen in the original bill. They still continuo ex- tremely objectionable in the modified bill, The bill in its present terms 18 the poorest proposition ever put before this city.

That is the name that sould have bee + feserved for this city for her municipal railway. Why is our go named usurped? Is it not a plece of truth that without this good name to conjure with, withdut the approval of the burgesses of the city of Medicine Hat, the corporation could not place 100,000 worth of stock i year, on its other features and resources. A MAN CAN BE HONESTLY, ACTIVELY, AMBETIOUSLY PROGRESSTVE Just as progressive as the advocates of giving away some valuable city-con essions, and-wholly. favorable to Mr. Overpack's industries AND AT THE SAMETIME VOTE AGAINST THIS BY-LAW IN ITS PRESENT SHAPE.
