"A Square Deal furMa....', timate to all whom it may concern that the wat erworkks bein g ' in. working order, it necessarily follows, that the services of the steamer at the fire hall will, not be required. This is primarily intended for owners of teams who have been getting four dollars for drawingthe engine to the point required. It also has its meaning for the engineer and stoker of the steamer' whose services have been dispensed with.; •.The Canada Foundry Company, which supplied the engines for the power house, asked for a closing up of the account to which the council replied,' that that could not be until the official test of the plant had taken place which is expected 'to be some time this month. The fathers also expressed some sur- prise that Engineer Chipman ,had not reported to them on the condi- tion of the plant. The . ' liquidator of the defunct Thresher Company paid the taxes on the buildings and grounds for 1908, but' he did so: under compulsion and now he declares that he will got pay for 1909 if not compelled to. The council did not express any sur- prise, as they are becoming some- what familiarwith the ways of lawyers, but decided .to ask for the ruling of his honor the Judge. • , There were several petitions for short stretches of cement walk and it was decided to .go ahead with the work as soon as pos,ible. The chairman of' the property cc,m- m'ittee, Councillor Jackson, reported that the park .is in better condition than ever' before and that he' felt rather proud of the good work which had been accomplished. The More Daylight scheme, fathered "by Councillor -Jackson was pidgeon- holed ler a twelve months, the . May- or deciding that he could not see his way clear to putting' it in. force. The idea was a good one; ite . said., but it was new anda number object- ing he didt not care to take the re- sponsibility . of making it an official move Fifteen' dollars was voted. .to the' School Children's Sports .which will take place on June 24th, This bas become an annual . affair to which the youngsters of town" and country- side look forward tb for weeks. Fair's pond has e%is'tted as such for many. years, but Mr. William Wheatley told the council that it backs up water on hist land rendering a couple of acres useless .z'nd t,uless this was: stopped he would look . for damages, He intimated that the pond _was located partly on a street e llowanee so that the would hold the cn n " u til responsible to that extent. Councillor Cooper,• c airof ichairman the. 'waterworks committee, reported that thirty-five house services had been . in- stalled and .that they exp:eetedl to put in anotherfifty this season. In re - forting. to livery men and florists, who' object:'to .paying the rate .quoted in the bylaws, hesn'd he had been advised by other • towns with water- works that if they began .deviating from the • bylaws in the..Mattet of rates • they would always be in troub;e. . The Street .• committee report was introduced by the chairman, Coen-. Ciller Beacom; who stated that they purposed beginning at once on the macadam operations. The report made no provision for systematic. levels .made by an •exporienced engin- eer and thereupon a prolonged and at .times peppery discussion ensued. Councillor 13eacom thoughttheycould get along very well without an en- gineer and was backed' up by Reeve Smyth and Councillors Paisley and Mason. • The other . half of the council' strongly advocated securing an engineer for a fent/ days to map out . the work and in this connection the followingletter from. Mr. W. A. 1VIeLean, Provincial Engineer of Highways, •to Mayor Taylor • was read : Toronto, June 4th, 1910. Dear Sir,-- . Yours of May 26th was drily re- ceived, and I ani very glad to know that so much favourable progress has been made toward the improve- ment of your town streets, . and that my services have been ofsome assistance in this regard. In accor- dance with your request, I. have looked over the draft of specifica- tion, which you enclose, and find that it folkws generally the prin- cipal features suggested; I have, however, drafted a speci- fication for you which will be found much . more complete, and I think will cover points upon which you may require further suggestions. Yon ask if •I would advisee doing the work under the direction of the Street Committee, or employing a practical man to oversee the work, 1 would strongly urge the necessity of 'employing an experienced man in this class of construction, to' act in eo-operation "With your Street i Committee. I aim satisfied that by doing so you will get better re- sifts at less cost, than if you go ahead' without sotne experienced man to guide you. With the most experienced men that I can find to act as superintendents or work carried on under my personal direc- tion I find that I have to give very •close attention in order to keep them along the right lines. Yours truly, W. A. McLean. Provincial 1 ngirtter of Highways. A vote was taken on the report with the following result : For an engineer ,for three days : 'Taylor, Cooper, Jackson, G•ibbings. Against: Beacom, Paisley, Sniytla Marin. The council, being dt'adloeked over trifle the street irnprovemnen•t work has been hekt tip. :Ai. UNION PICNIC. The Farmer's.

Some boys and girls web, are attending the different collegiate institutes in the county, would • be somewhat surprised perhaps to know - how. closely their successes or failur- es are being followed by this genial, kindly man.
