INDIANA, MAY 3, 1390, Next Monday will be the day to elect incorporation officers, and what the town now wants is a board that will without ‘ear or favor do everything in its power for the benefit of Walkerton. The town has arrived at that point in the matter of size and population that many things are positively needed which nothing short of an energetic, fearless board can supply. For instance, some cisterns for water supplies in case of lire, the cleaning up mid sidow liking of the Lake Erie grounds, forcing down sidewalks in portions of (he town where needed and not yet built, the lighting of avenue F, etc. Anybody, oh Lord, Republican or Democrat, who will fearlessly do these things. There is another thing that this paper will suggest, ami that is, that the hoard to come has its salary doubled. It is an outrage for a town like ours to ask the members of its council to operate for the salaries now paid. Doubling their salary will not be sufficient pay really to justify any man in bothering with it, and yet men will feel more like taking an interest in doing their duty by meeting punctual- , ly and carefully considering all matters pertaining to their office in the interest of the town. This paper has no harsh words or words of censure to of- ' fer against the present incumbents, for they have probably done all that they believed the citizens wanted them to ' do. But, as we have said above, the 1 town has arrived at that stage of im- 1 portanee that more must be done, not- ' withstanding, the kicker may kick and the growler may growl. Improvements 1 in every way possible is what Walkerton needsnow and what it should have. Much will depend upon the efficiency of the board to come, and if those interested in the welfare and progress of the town will carefully consider and not selfishly draw parly lines too close an efficient board may be secured. Their path will undoubtedly be strewn with thorns, for Walkerton has its selfish class and its fogy class and its stingy class, any ami all of which classes would rather see the town go to the demnitiqn bow wows, than pay out a dollar unless they were positively certain of getting two back. But what the new board wants to do is to march right on making the improvements necessary, and pay no attention to the objectors. OSgwigi GRO VERTOWN.
