ment world aaseot to such n propuarl
Councillor %Vallee@ pointed out that if
a cement wall were built from the end
of the C. P. R. etlhenkment to the
west end of the breakwater it would
do away with the neceenty of repair-
ing the river breakwater which, he
said, the 11 rverum ut h had fre-
quently to do. He was in Laver of
asking for the hand and also rcquast-
ing assistance. frown I he Government

Hawking opined that all that was
neceieary wan to have the town Ilrnits
extended to the centre of the northern
r•ha•tnel of the river. lie w:at certain
that any firm wishing to secure a
building site along the river break-
water would itself Teak after a proper
foundation and the cement wall would
be unnecessary. Oa motion of the
Deputy Reeve, seconded by the
Reeve, the matter was referred to the
epeeist! committee to confer with a

of numbering the houses. When the

cillor Hawkins, who has been the pro- Soddenly a cry In
tooter r,f the 'dee, aros,• and made as
final plea in favor of the scheme.
Some people, he said, had treated it as
a joke, but any who went to the
trouble of investigating would find a
situation entirely without any sense
of humor. Merchants f 1 difficulty
in delivering parcel.' to the proper
plane. Factory managers conld not
find their employees on short notice
when they were not on duty. Con-
fusion at the postoftleP WAS another
serious result .4 the aMrence of num-
bers on • houses. Ministers had
trouble in finding the residences of
the meurlwrs of their rongregetiuo.
It was almost iairposnlhlP to direct
strangers properly aMrtit town under
the {present system. Physielans re-
ceived calls which they were unable
to answer immediately, n+ they could
not locate the residence of their
patient. Moreover, if the residences
of Goalerich were n hewed it would
add dignity to the town. The ex-
pense of placing a good aluminum
letter on every house in town would
not be over $1(11). Deputy Reeve
%innings expressed the opinion that
there were other things which the
Otero needed worm.. The vote was
then taken, Councillors Parson+ and
Wallare voting with Councillor Haw-
kins In favor of the Idea. The mot inn
was declared host.
Deputy Reeve Mannings thought
the fire engine required a coat of
paint, but Councillor Hawkins was
ready with the remark that when it
had gone without paint for over a
quarter of a centarry It could do with-
out for another year. None of the
other coancillors Recited to ire in
faviir-ef busying the paint, so the mat-
ter was drop.

thought it aoiviaable to snake an effort
to re' the eohnty interested in the de-
velopment of power within the
founts. Reeve Reid su4geated that
