PAGE SIX FOR CENTRAL HEATING PLANT Canadian Newspaper Warmly Advo cates Such a Scheme, on Eco nomic and Other Grounds. The town of Renfrew has carried a by-law to spend $25,000 on a central heating plant for the business section. It is erecting a new Ore hall and takes ad\antage of the opportunity.^ Owen Sound is said to have a similar scheme under consideration. This is an avenue of small-towa development that will be much more extensively traveled in the future, remarks the To ronto (Can.) Mall and Empire. Ontario towns are usually compact, the streets used for business intersect each other, and with the advept of modern heat ing systems in the stores and fac tories, the economic possibilities of a central heating plant are exceptionally good. Many cities and towns in the United States have adopted the sys tem, and results have been very satis factory. Instead of two dozen fur naces, two dozen firemen, one big plant handled by about three men, does the whole business. Modern insulating methods prevent loss of steam and heat underground and the service is usually better than any home system. The obtaining of, coal is such a prob lem nowadays for the ordinary mer chant and fnctory operator that the putting of responsibility on a civic plant would be a great relief. The ultimate saving, once the heating equipment Is installed, ought to be thousands of dollars a year. In man/ of the small Ontario towns stores are still heated by stoves, or hot-air fur naces, using anthracite coal. The sta tistics of the relative cost of steam heat cannot be made up without con sideration of local conditions, because pipe-laying, radiator installation and plant costs vary with the size of the project, and the location of the prem ises to be heated. But the innovation Is one that should commend Itself to the notice of all town councils. WRONG KIND OF ADVERTISING Signboard Display May Catch the Eye for a Moment, but It Does Not Make Friends. An lmportnnt function of advertis ing is in creating good will. The per manent, lasting MI I ue of an ad\ eras ing campaign is in the good will it creates. Signboards can do little 'toward creating good will and maj iBtir up a lot of ill will. There are certa.n classes of adver 'tising that must he handled in a dig 'nined manner, otherwise the advertis ing may do more harm than good. If the information received is cor rect, \arious garden clubs have already protested against the use of signboards by florists, which shows "the way the wind blows" regarding public senti ment. It has I proposed that motorists irgam/o to rid our hlghv ays of the grotesque ib-trwth signs Each mem ber to agree not to purchase any goods nl\e on signboards. That will be an (flecth wn to clear up the situation.
