They recommend the adoption of tin

This meeting of representatives frOn
the townships of Goderich, Tucker
smith, McKillop and Hullett, and tin
towns of 'Goderich, Seaforth and Clin
ton approve of 'the efforts now beim
made to obtain for this seo'
clean of tin
County of Huron, a connection with tho
Canada Pacific Railway system, so al
to give it the benefit of the competitior
between the two great railway system:
of the country.
That this meeting is of opinion the'
any extension westward of the C. P. B
system from Guelph, aided by the ele
penditure of pub'.c moneys from tin
Dominion' exchequer, should be con
structed along a route that will benefil
the rising and important centres 01

townships that border upon these mull.

proposal to send delegates from tinousehold
various municipalities here represented
to Ottawa, to urge upon the Dominion
Government, the advisability of giant.
ing a subsidy to the extension of the C.
P. R. westward from , Guelph to 80ME
point on Lake Huron in the County of
Huron, we recimmend these delega•
tions to use their influence in behalf of
such route.
That this meeting is of opinion that
an effort should be made at once by the
municipalities in this section interested
in the C. P. R. extension, to urge its
the attention othe
claims uponfrailway
Y
authorities, and would recommend to
the various delegations, appointed to go
to Ottawa at an early date, the advise -
bility of appointing a delegation, from3
their number, to see Mr Van Horne,and
lay before him the scheme by which the
municipalities here repreeented. will be
accommodated by the proposed exten•
si".
That after the government an rails

a meeting be called of delegates from

address on the advantages of temper-
ance and evils of intemperance. It is
to be hoped that the people in the vi-

conscience, which tells them right from
wrong, and consider the matter in re-
spect to their fellow -beings, and then.
vote againia the "petition' on the 19th
of April, and in this way further the
cause of prohibition.
