Munoinge was the find speaker and
gave a summary of the work that had
been done donee the year on the
committees of which he wax a mem-
ber. As to the sewer outlet being
overcrowded, he said he had been
down that day and found a depth of
only about two iucher running out of
the i&.uell pipe. He believes( in t he
town building freight sheds at the
harbor. All his interests were in the
town and be hoped to ere it progress,

Murney when he charged .hut the
commiaion had uever peen a basin
before undertaking thin one. Mr.
Humber also (tinted that the basin
was the cause of the hlewking of the
intake pipe. (Dr. Strang -•'Ori, how
do you know ? You can't possibly
know.") Mr. Huwbee also spoke of
his stand on the Wheel Rigs loan.
Mr. Murneywas given a chance to
reply to Mr. umber and told of the
trip borne years ego of some of the
councillors to Port. Huron, Detroit
and other places to examine sedimen-
tation basins, and explained that the
basin could have nei possible i•onnec-
tion with the cause of the blocking of
the intake.

ferred to a motion be had hal passed'`

Cement tile could be made for a mere
fraction of the oat of clay tile and
Mr. Raid offered this as a volution of
the difficulty presented by the
expense of putting in larger sewers.
Neil Cameron, of the non of Cam-

experience on the road seen almost
every place ot any it portanee be-

J. W. Craigia was not present when
called upon and Percy Walton an-
nounced he was not in tli.• field.
.1. East Jordan made • rattling
speech. the burden of which was :

think he hod given the people any
reusun to lure their faith in hie,
J. N. Kernighan said he had decided
to be a candidate, although he recog-
nized that Mr. McEwan was a held
man to beat. The large vote which
he (the speaker) had received last
year gave hint a desire to contest the
reevrrhipp this year, and he thuoght
Mr. McEwan should be satisfied with
one year. He did nut consider that
the business of the past year• lied lweii
done in o proper manner : Mr. Me -
Ewan himself admitted that he was
too busy to attend to it properly.
Not enough of the business at the
council meetings was done by motion,
so that the ratepayers might know
who wss reaponsih'e. Mr. Kernighan
eritirized Mr. McEwan's dual position
as Reeve of the township and an offi-
cial of the electric railway company :
he could 110.1 serve two masters. Th •
cowpony war etill looking fur thl•
right cf way and had not bought it
.et. Twice the company Iced asked
he townehip for the tight of way,
but it he)l not been grouted. Mr.
McEwan was not a party to these
things. but other members of the
cotnpany should be mistrusted. When
the councillors went with Mr. Moyes
Icer the route of the railway no obJec-
tiou war made by the rouncillors to
granting Jprivileges on the highway
at Mem. cDonald's and at (Glaziers
and at some 'daces where a little
filling would Ise required. but Mr.
Moya, had not acted any further in
the in titer in the way of having the
agreement ratified by the comneil. 11e
believ.•d•thecompany wanted to get
three even into 'the council to grant
the right of way without a vote orf
the people. Ile dill not believe the
council should take• an offer from the
C. P. H. to put the Dunlop hill road
in shape : the C. P. H. people should
be trade to do it themselves. Ile put
the responsibility for the delay in the
work on the lth concession bridge on
Mr. McEwen, and in conclusion ap-
pealed to -the electors on hie record.
Mr. Mcl?wan occupied a few min-
utes in reply. in regard to the 4th
concession bridge he declared that he
was not the only man in the council
and he was not reaponeihle for -the
whole 1 hing, though he had been in the
habit of doing more than a fair Hha[e
of the work. '
John ihtstow. who was a nominee
for councillor, said the accident two
years ago hail opened the people's
eyes to dangerous places on the roads
and this had caused ezpenee in iin.

He,ulvnceted the use of the split log
drag for road improvement,
Wm. F. Young went into a history
of various matters that had come be-
fore the hoard during the year. He
claimed that. to snake the C. P. R.

road in .0a1.• $3It), .0 that only $,i(X)

Young's address there was a general
dispute in Fegard to the grading of
the Saltford road, the other council-
lors giving Mr. Young the whole
credit for the joh.
Jas. McManus said he wanted to be
inrate council duringther'"uing year
Uo ser that the electric railway con•
eduction was properly done, so as to
avoid danger. He objected to the
••slur" that had been thrown out to
the effect that three men were being
brought out in the interests of the
electric railway. and wanted to know
who the three men were, but he did
not get the information. He was
asked about his signature un the
petition regarding t h e running
of the railway along the Lake Shore
road, but he said he was not in favor
of granting the railway running
rights on the highway.
Jaeoh Moser said he had never been
asked to tun in the interests of the
electric railway and was not in favor
of having the railway on the high-
way. He advot•ated a reasonable ar-
rangement with the 1'. P. R. for the
mending of the Dunlop hill road. Mr.
Moser and Mr. Young had a lively
set-to about statemente that were
said to hare been made at the elec-
tion • year ago.
John J. Robertson thought the
young men should take a more active
interest in the township's *Nairn and
had some inclination to stand for elec-
tion, but finally decided to withdraw.
John McLar•ty did not like the way
the road work wee done. The roads
should Co left alone in the spring,
when they were good, instead of being
spoiled for all summer with new
gravel. which should not be put on
until the fall.

Both are men of more than ordinary
ability, and 'whoever wins the affairs

councillors some of then( cut loos..•
and smote without mercy. One of
the nominees -after it was all over -
protested against the •personal re-
crimination' so largely indulged in,
bit the electors seemed to enjoy it,
judging from the cheering wbenever
a speaker got in a geed body -blow.
8,1 long as the ret•payers of the
township maintain the sante interest
in their munisiPal affairs aa they
showed on Monday, the members of
their council will not go ver far
wrong, for they can beam* that any
misdemeanors will put them in for a
gruelling at the end of the year.
Reeve McEwan wee the (trot
speaker, and he gave an explanation
of some of the more important mat-
\ ters that were before the connty
council, as affecting the township of
Colborne, during the year, including
the county roads scheme the Holmes-'
ville bridge matter, and a summary
of the manner In which the county
money is spent. In regard .to the
Holmesville bridge be mitt that he
had nicceeded in having a motion
adopted by the county council to the
effect that the new bridge be built on
the present site. 1t was then too late
to have the bridge constructed this
year, and he would like to go hark to
the county council to see thi. business
through. in regard to the township
business, atter a review of the floaneisl
statement Mr. McEwan spoke of the
mad on the Dunlop hilt. Ile had
tried to have it put in proper shape.

H. J. Morrie made a brief speech,
but said he wee "notin the mwhn."
Ile said the eouneil should have taken

had signed a certain petition pre -
wooed by myself to have the West
Shore Electric Railway change its
plans and keep along the read insteab
of running through what is known as
the "blind line." which had already,
been surveyed. These gentlemen did
sign it, as did also four-fifths of the
most progressive and intelligent
vot.•rs and pri)perty-owners to whom
1 presented it.
1 might jest say here that the pet i-
t ion was got up and presented by my-
selt, as I was very much interested in
.having the road tome my way.I
When it was proposed to put it ,
through the “blind line" I approached
-alto eailway people to two -if airy+ting
could be done. and they told no. it the
council of Colborne would grant thein
certain privileges they would consider

to the council, and with one or two
exceptions they simply ignored it.
And why ?-because they were :.frigid
to make a move for fear of losing it
few votes.
Why are Kernighan an.l Young so
hitter against anything that im a bne-
fit to our west aide of the township?
Do we not pay taxes and want to live
as well al Other people? And why
did Messrs. Young and Kernighan
comae over and try to stop the work
on the electric road ? Was it because
they thought so much of the Lake

railway company are doing splendid
work and are improving the bighwsy
instead of injuring it, as any peraotn
not prejudiced against the raiiway will

formed, mske a house-to-house can-

the railway was corning poet his place
by way of Carlow and Loyal ? He did
not then care if the Beomiller or

heavier tax or nut and get no benefit
of it. hut just as noon as be found the
