It is contended by maty that a good thing for the town has beeji accomplished, and if the concession were suede by the Government uncondition- ally perhaps there would be some reason fur congratulation. But the abolition f the calls to the town by the Gorern- ment has been to our mind handicapped with the f•,„riso that Goderich must keep in repair the "wharf and commercial docks," and in such an event there is a possibility that we may have to pay too dear for ,cur whistle. True, some of our practical men in the council have stated that the repairs will Le comparatively light. and will not prove burdensome ; the chairman of the public works commit- tee elidn't think the annual outlay in keeping up the commercial docks would go beyond $50 or $100 ; Mr. Murney be- lieved the large shipments of salt over the docks.would have a tendency to I..., - ar,re the planki•ig : and other similarly strong arguments were adduced. We hope our town fathers are not astray in their dedbctions on this question. We would like t" nee their most sanguine an- ticipations regarding the upbuilding of the barber trade realized. But it is a e,uestion in our mind, in view of the am- higuuus wording of the communication from Ottawa, whether the benefits deriv- ed will at the end of the five years out- weigh the coated keeping up the wharves and docks, which the Government is now attempting to saddle on the town. CAPT. T. N. DANCES' has finally decid- ed not to accept the position of fire war - .'en on the tern., proposed by the tire committee. We regret Capt. Dancey has so decided. The tow'h would be the gainer were he to once more assume the position which he occupied with so much credit to himself jor the past nine years. We would like to see an effort made to bring about the Captain's acceptance. A and Capt. Dancey would accomplish the matter. We would move that the com- mittee increase the, indemnity to Capt. Dancey, if he accept the tire wardenship, by 850. The additional amount is of no great moment in comparison with the keeping up of the efficiency of the fire brigade.

Bat, the deputation which had gone to Ottawa did not ask the remiuiou of harbor dues as a favor -they claimed, the abolition of tolls as a matter of justice. On this understanding the dues had been remav ed. Anel if eoeo if the matter was purely .me of justice to the town- then why was it necessary to impose conditions on the town. The Govern- ment were themselves henefitted by re tnitting the dues, and had no grounds for impostng conditions upon the town. A statement of the case from this stand point should be submitted to the Gov- ernment, so that in the titre to come if the conditions bore too heavily upon the town, the question might be re -open n1. The Government had expended only $10,000 on the docks, and had been paid $11,000 back in dues, and the town, which had expended $10,000, had se far received nothing in return. He submitted the fallowing resolution : M reed be Mr. Seager, seconded by Mr. Johnston, that the clerk be instruct- ed to t acknowled a the receipt of the let - mutual concession by the fire committee t et from the Minister of Marine and Co. of the remission of the dues, and respectfully ask them to send a staff to their elevator here, and give Goderich a fair share of its business ; also to com- fituinate with the various parties who formerly did business through Goderich harbor, to ask the Grand Trunkt to do their business through Goderich harbor ; also, that the clerk be instruct- ed to forward printed circulars, an- nouncing the remission of the tolls at Goderich, thus making it a free harbor, trope boards of trade of Chicago, Mil- waukee, ee, Detroit andother p ; also to telegraph the same to the Toronto papers ; and also to telegraph to the presidents of tilt Chicago and 3filkau- kee boards of trade. • Mr. Bingham wanted p know who would control the docks now,the wharf - Meer had been dispensed with. - The mayor said this was a special meeting called for a special purpose, and new bt»inetss eould not be taken up, but he had no doubt the harbor committee would be ebb: te attend to the docks in the me,...titne.

Carried. In seconding the resolution Mr. John- ston corroborated what Mr. Seeger had said concerning the courteous treatment which the deputation had received at Ottawa. He believed it would pay the town to have the tolls taken off, so that the business of the harbor might revive. Mr, tattler said the tolls were taken off conditionally. That was the ultima- tum of the Minister of Marine. This council should either accept or reject - the terms of the Government.
