In the pile to be known as "Tip." The
chosen person Is then recalled. and
with the tong's removes pieces from

moses Tip. when all must be returned

nein player, -who retiree to the other
room while another Tip 1s named. A

MUNICIPAL COl'N('ILS.
EAST WAWANOSIJ.
The last meeting of the council for
1919 way --held un December 1dth. with
the members all ►resent. Minutes of (sat
meeting were read and passed on motion
of Buchanan and Currey. Dr. Stewart,
M. 0. H., presented his report as follows:
To the Municipal Council of East WswInosh.
QGentlemen,--Once more it is my dutY
and fortunately a pleasure to report upon
the health of the municipality in relation
to contagious and infectious diseases for
the year now ending. Apart from the
Spanish influenza. which took its toll of
lives herr as in other localities. there have ,
been only five cases of contagious or
infectious diseases brought to my notice,
namely, one of scarlet fever and tour of
tuberculosis. . On being reported the •
scarlet fever patient was placed under
gtlarantine at once, but in a short time
'there was a fatal termination. Death occur-
red in three of the four other cases. Nu
nuisances have been reported to
me throughout the year, so that'
the duties of the medical officer of
health have been much lighter than they
so/betimes are. Respectfully submitted
by your obedient servant,
R. L. STEwA`T, M 0. FD.
A few of the ratepayers. as usual. being
somewhat dilatory in the payment of
their taxes. an extension of time till Feb-
ruary 1st, 1920, was given the collector fol
the return of his roll for the balance of
taxes remaining as yet unpaid. A num-
her o: accounts, which will appear in the
fltiancial statement shortly. - were ordered
paid,•and after a few words of apprecia-
tion from the - Reeve-.- ore *keit -et-t- e -
fellow -members, to Councillor Irwin. who
is retiring from. municipal matters after
seven y ars of faithful service to the
munici ty, the council then adjourned.
