'fibtatudarab'isdiaeu cion ar l bile questi en

lore. Co'lnoillori McKenzie, lllcIndoo,
Irwin and Hanson spoke strongly in favor
of the petition, and Councillors Gregory,'
(?obey wad Mayor Clegg thought the mat-

(Jolley-(; regory--In amendment,that

sistiug of Mayor Clegg, Councillors M0
Kenzie and Aialndooto enquire into and
report to council ori ,April 10th.
These mations then brought forth more
discussion.
Couucilior Me euzie thought the hy.law
should be passed to -tight, A merchants'
committee had gone round and got opin-
ions from the dttterent shop keepers before
as petitiuu was presented to them for their
signatures. They had plenty of time to
consider what they were doing. We are
here to carry .out the wish of the people ;
the petition was largely signed and vier-_
chants had been to oonsiderable expense in
the matter. Leaving it, over for another
week would oat make tnattera any better.
Would mot be doing otir duty if we did mat
pass, by 'law,
Councillor Gregory said he had Beard
rneroltantsisay that if they had stopped to
consider what they wore signing they
would not have signed the petition.
Should surely t, aIt another week before
taking action.
Mayor .Clegg said council should not do.
things hurriedly. Should leave the matter
over for regular or special meeting.
-Councillor Irwin said council would.
not be doing justice to the petitioners if we
did not do our duty in passing the by-
law.
Councillor Golley =thought some one
would break by-law inside of two weeks,
Who would enforce the bylaw ? The
Chief or the petitioners. Would, offenders
be fined or sent to jail ? Not a merchant.
in town would have back -bone enough to
inform on an offender. He vapid like to
see his amendmept carried.
Councillor Mclndoo said the by-law
should be put through to -night. We have
the names of the people who are interested
in the matter.
Mayor Clegg here ruled Councillor Han -
son's motion out of order. Notice bad to
be given at a regular meeting before by-
law could be passed. He wee opposed to
haste. He wasnot against the by-law if
petition were sufficiently signed. '
Councillor Ranson did not consider hie
motion out of order antatbought we should,
act On the matter to -night.
J A Morton said he thought Councillor
klanson's motion was quite regular and' in
order.
Councillor Gregory said matter should
be laid over for a week. He would yote
for by-law if he was satisfied names on the
petition were alright.
Mayor Clegg said he only wished to have
the matter properly investigated.
Councillor Hanson's motion baying been
ruled out of order, Councillor Golley's
motion, referring the question to a com-
mittee wascarried and the council went to
work on the regular •business.
Hanson -Irwin -That the Clerk be 'in-
structed to order 150 dog tags for the
