The ditches will be cleaned out and the accumulated feculence from the long-continued drainage of sinks, or worse, will be disposed of. For a short period the ditches will cease to offend the olfactory sense and will not constitute 50 great a metiace to the health of-the com- munity. But the practice of draining sinks into them continuing, they will soon return to their former condition. It is patent that no permanent good can come from cleaning out the ditches unless it be systematically and frequently prac- ticed. The only way to exterminate an evil is to attack and abolish its cause. Now To this a few objected— Told him he was ‘‘butting in’’— The proper road to build was one To suit a ‘‘Zeppelin.’”’ The Sidney “member’™ followed, Said our roads were worse than worse, While others backed him up and swore They weren’t worth a curse. The next one to address us Came from somewhere near Deep Cove, : And caused quite a sensation when He sat down on the stove. We sent for ‘‘Ned,” the druggist, Who administered ‘‘Tanlac,” And, say, boys, that ‘‘dope’’ sure is good To make a fellow talk. ? Some spoke of ‘‘Tar MacAdam,” And the lovely roads he built, But claimed you couldn’t build. them right Unless you wore a “kilt.” This nearly caused a riot— Touched a Scotchman’s funny bone, Who shouted wildly: ‘‘While I’m here You’d best leave ‘kilts’ alone.’’ The ‘‘Roman roads’’ were featured,‘ too, DON'T FORGET The Hour of Sale, 1 o'Clock Sharp The Day of Sale, Monday, March 81 The Place of Sale, Third Ave., Sidney The Auctioneer, Stewart Williams Provincial Police Inspecting Ditches Provincial Constable Fryar came out from Victoria Monday, and, with Provin- cial Constable J. E. Gilbert, of this city, made a round of inspection of the road- side ditches in Sidney. The action of the provincial police fol- lows the recent conference of Messrs. J. J. White and W. H. Dawes, the committee appointed by the Sidney Board of Trade, with Premier John Oliver, at which com- aplaint was made regarding the condition of ditches here. Mr. Gilbert states that he is drafting a report to be submitted to provincial police headquarters. He suggests as a possible remedy for the ditch evil that the ditches be cleaned of grass and debris, and that the fire hydrants then be opened into them periodically with the object of flushing \ Phone 3 B.

Black, White, Grey, Blue and Pink the cause of the evil, this practice {s but a link in the concatenation of cause and ef- fect. The real cause is the fact that Sidney, a big, robust community of intelligent citi- zens of British Columbia, is not self-gov- erning. The community is not a municipal- ‘ity, and consequently, instead of itself enacting guch remedail measures as are necessary, “is obliged to approach the Pro- | ‘vinelal Government for rentedial action. The Provincial Government has many demands made up it of precisely similar nature to the demands made upon it by Sidney and North Saanich for relief from undesirable conditions.

It ts only to be ex- pected that the Government niinisters will give most attentive ear to the complaints of the smaller communities, which are less capable of self-government, and that a large well-to-do community, fully support- ed by farming, manufactures and fisheries, as is Sidney and North Saanich, will be largely disregarded, because the ministers feel that there is little excuse for such a community not being incorporated.

Then some Zink started singing -- ‘“‘Where the River Shanzon Flows.” That soothed our savage feelings Just like a shower of rain; So back to roads and ditches That something ‘‘queer’’ was hidden in That part called ‘‘the preamble.” Another thing that mixed us— And, really, we had cause , To ask the mover to explain The meaning of ‘‘whereas.’’ Some thought this ‘‘whereas’’ business was A tricky kind of lunch, Dished up to double-cross and Camouflage the Sidney bunch.
