when a lightning bolt knocked him
unconscious as he sat in a chair at

struck him. He was unconscious for
about one-half an hour but has made
a great recovery. The wire on the

Cook that he did not receive the full

his legs, were asleep and one side of
his body was black from the effects
of the shock. He was also burned,

OBITUARY
TOWN MAY BUY
NEW WEIGH SCALE
The regular meeting of the Town
Council was held Tuesday evening
with all members present except
Coun. Wilkinson. The minutes of the
previous meeting were approved.
Mr. W. F, Hutcheson of the Faim
banks-Morse Co., and Mr. Allison of
the London Scale Co., appeared be
fore the Council and explained that
the town scale was in such a condi
tion that it could not be prepared (at
present it is not in use). They re
commend that a new scale be pur
chased and suggested a 20-ton cap
acity scale with a platform 20 feet by
9 feet, open pit construction and dou
ble webb levers. The cost of such a
scale which would be placed on a ce
ment foundation, would be about $850
less a turn-in value of about $70 for
the old scale. This matter was left
for a future meeting.
The Clerk reported to council that
Mr. Henderson’s account for damage
to his car done on Minnie Street was
settled for half the price of the” bill.
A report from Dr. Stewart, M.O.
H., and Chief Allen, sanitary inspect
ors, stated that some cleaning up
work should be done at the dumps
but that one property, privately own
ed, was not in a sanitary condition.
The dumps have been put in shape
and the council are taking steps to-
have the party responsible for the
bad condition of the other property
clean, it up. >
A report from the General Accident
Ins. Co., showed the heating plant
boiler in good condition.
A letter was read from T. J. Mc
Lean suggesting that Council donate
$500 to advertise and sponsor an Old
Home Week for Wingham next year,
’Wingham’s Jubilee Year. He said
several older residents of town would,
get behind the proposition. This let
ter was filed for the present.
Letters from three firms were re
ceived giving prices for a public li
ability policy. The lowest tender of
Lloyds & Co., $140, was accepted, on
motion of Couns. VanWyck and
ans; Mrs. E. A. VanStone is the
al agent.
Several accounts were paid, on
tion of Couns. Crawford and Heth
erington.
Coun. Lloyd reported about all the
street work done for this year except
the usual cleaning, etc. He also re
ported that during a heavy storm in
August the Red Front cellar was
flooded. The drain from this cellar
will be attached to two outlets in the
Fall when the storm sewer is com
pleted to overcome this difficulty.
Reeve Davidson said he had taken
up the matter of finishing the road
surface on Minnie St. this year with-
the County Engineer. Although the
Engineer was ready to go ahead, he
advised against it this year as suitable
gravel is not procurable for about a
month and then it would be .too cold
to lay the bituminous surface. The
work could be much more satisfact
orily done in the spring, he said.
It was decided to leave the paving
of Minnie Street until next year, on.
motion of Couns. Evans and Lloyd.
Reeve Davidson reported that lev
elling section F. at the cemetery was
completed. 700 yards of dirt had
been used this year for that purpose.
The work on the Isbister vault at .the
cemetery was now complete, he re
ported. The work of grading around
it will be done at once.
Messrs. F. Sturdy and Al. Orvis.
were a deputation and objected to
Council granting outfight concession
privileges to organizations for full
day or days. The Mayor requested
they put their complaint in writing
and it would be dealt with at the
next meeting of the council.
