The Mayor Extends Season’s
Compliments
Berwick, depending as it does on the apple
crop from the surrounding district, is feeling the effects of
the poor crop and depressed market. However, the merchants
report a good Christmas trade and hope for better things in
1926.
The Evaporator, under the capable
management of C. S. Grimm & Co., has done a wonderful
work in disposing of a large quantity of second-class stuff
and incidentally paying out a considerable amount in wages.
Kings Memorial Hospital has had a busy
year, never more so than during the holiday season. About
fifteen patients are being cared for there, and service seems
to be the watchword of the Hospital staff. Possibly The
Register does not realize the importance of the Hospital as a
financial asset to the community. As a matter of fact it does
a larger business than the Town of Berwick. The total
receipts for the last financial year were $10,833.18 and
expenditures on maintenance were $9,199,94 with an additional
$1,500 paid on capital account.
Berwick has a valuable asset in The
Register, that perhaps is not fully appreciated. In the
opinion of the writer The Register is the best small town
weekly in the province, and should be supported by all of our
citizens.
Allow me, Mr. Editor, to take this
opportunity on behalf of the Mayor and Town Council to extend
to all our towns-people the compliments of the season and
best wishes for a happy and prosperous 1926.
S. C. Parker,
Berwick, N.S., Dec. 30, 1925.
