Advance Woodville.

! Thb time has arrived we think,* wheti Woodville shoald be' considering the preliminary ste,ps; tp be takejj ; >vith a l-view to having the. township constituted a Local Board District. v Some day, hb'ddubt, it will be ia munici- | pality, but that position it nipst. apt^ 'prpach 'by tHe^ customarj, gradpal changes. It is almost impossible for a Highway. Board, boweveiy well its: functions' may be administered, to attend to all the wants and requirements pf a township .rapidly extending its original boundaries, and assuming a position of importance, that, a few years ago, could with difficulty have been realized. The firM> step m advance must b^'ora long be mafe, and we consider it is tii_e now tbe quest on of the proposed-ohan^es was being a iii ated. It is one of those matters that therlocal^ Press f can be legitimately exacted to ventilate, and :it Should be glad to opeb its columns to. the. different yiewa held by correspondents m regard thereto, In other, plagier tbp Local Board "Act has Wpiked satisfactorily, and no doubt would confer eqnal benefits if rated ia Wooilville.
