The $ioo Vote to Orangemen. ,
The question of the $1141 voted In•
last year's eumnci1 for advertising in
connect' with the holding of the
annual meeting tel the Right Wor-
shipful Provincial (rand Orange
Lodge of Ontario West in Gladrt•ieh
the coining \larch was brought up

Worship, on behalf of. 1. O. 1. l$2
for the $1141 granted, in order that
we may devote the money to adveK
tiring purposes, for which it was
legally granted'. In my humble opin-
ion all that is required „order
the treasurer, slgnt4l by the Mayor
and clerk." A copy of the report of
the finance committee. dated Jhar•h
nth. ifMki• which was adopted at the
time by the council. on Motion 1,f
Messrs. Clark atnd Thongx+ui, Mr.
Blair dissenting. ,was enclosed. The
reeom mendation was as follows:
"That, if it ii legal to do so, the couni•il
grant 1111 and send an invitation to
the Provincial Orange Lodge of On-
tario West. asking them to meet
here next year. -
Mr. Blair said he took the objection
when the resolution was plowed that
the council had no right to do its and
said he was still li ()pawed to
that way of granting money. Any
ot•ganizJation bringing a elrow•d to
town would ask for a grant. •. the
precedent was established. and where
were we t1 draw the line
The council, however. did not wish
to hreak faith with the committee of
the Orangemen, esiwcially as they
had beton acting on the strength of
the grant. and Messrs. Elliott and
Goldthorpe , unwed to confirm the
grant. conditional on,the town solici-
tor's opinion as to its legality 'wing
favorable. .(' a r r i ed. Mr. f{aH1wa
thought the council had no power to
make the grant. and recalled an twea-
sion when a tants MS' was gotten up
some twelve or fifteen year.. ago by
some of the members of St. Peter's
congregation, and a grant was e.ecutm)
troth the town. On that o•e,lsinn an
injunction Was tweet's! restraining the
town tIlancil from paying the money
