Effort Being Made to Straighten Out the Tangle Caused by Loss of
Agreement Nude -when Ball Was Erected—Town Codndl Unr,-

Board—Request from Colborne Township for Fire Protection '
Turined Down—Would Increase Insurance Ratee in Town '
The town e•otlnetl had a meeting of
more than usual interest on Friday
night last. A deputation brought a re-
quest from the board of MacKay Hall
for eooperstlon In regularising mat-
ters to connection with the control of
that Inetitutlon, and Reeve ,M..1. Gold-

the request for an nrrangement with
the town for the use of the town's Are-

Counelllor Humber, -"We all want to
help you out: but we cannot see how
It can be dour. We have spent n15,000
or more on epdipment to keep down
our Insurance rate. and even to con-
sent to allow the ,.ryipmeut to go out
of town would send up the rate."

were "right up against it." If a barn
