A Proposed Memorial of the Late Dr.

at the meeting of the county council

To tLe M. 'mien and Council of 11,, Comity Of

Gentlemen:--Ibrntit Inc to call your att en
t ton to the fact that up to the present no set of
recognitwn u( the eminent .ervleen of the late
1)r. Wm. Dunlop has been proposed.
It has suggested itm elf to me that so dl+tiw
gnashed a soldier, •elebratesi snrgrsin and
gifted civilian and pioneer certainly deserves
at the hands of the people of Buren some
testnuomal.
To achieve this end, to my mind nothing
would he more gracious on your pert than 1n•
acquire a portion of his old hemeal.ea,l where
he resided for many years, aid by matey

This lel a matter which has already
been brought to the attention of the
public by The Signal, and Mr. Wright
is deserving of thank,' from those who
revere the memory of the pioneers for
his effort to have some definite action
taken by the county council. The
council, while looking with some savor
upon Mr. Wright's proposal, did not
wish to take the initiative in the neat-
er, suggesting that the township of
Iberne and the town of Goderich
t ret take some action. We be -
het the property in question
mrcbased for a few hundred
dollar', a • d it would be a lasting dis-
grace to tilt people of this section if
they should rove themselves so re-
