Emmerson, Whitely, Macklin and Taylor of Goclerich; Drs. Shaw and Gandier of Clinton; Drs. Burroughs and Ross of Clinton; Dr. Machell of Dublin; Dr, Ferguson of Teeswater and Dr. Jamieson of Whitechurch. Much re- gret was felt at the absence of Dr. H. A, Bruce of Toronto, who was unable to be present on account of the illness of his father, He, how- ever, forwarded his paper, which was read to the Association by Dr. Emmerson. It was a • happy thought for the association to meet in Wingham, as it afforded the members an op- portunity of celebrating the jubilee of the oldest practitioner in the county, Dr. J. E.

The Scotch folk of the town and vicinity paid due homage and hon- our to St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. by gathering in large numbers on Thursday night at the annual entertainment given by the Ladies' Aid of St. Andrew's Church.

The Mayor was of the opinion that in the future after draining it would be an asset to the town in this re- spect. Finally it was decided not to purchase this property. The matter of installing a steam heating plant for the town hall was hoisted for a few days when another special meeting will be held. A by-law for the borrowing of $3,500 for the purchase of a fire truck was given ,two readings, The bylaw calls for the issuing of serial debentures bearing interest at the rate of 31/2 7o. .tender was received from R, E.
