A communication was read from Mr, Wm. Carruthers asking what the street committee proposed doing to Catherine St. and urging that it be made at least passible. Councillor Tipling, chairman of the street committee reported the letting of the job of laying the sidewalk on William and Charles Ste. to Mr. Wm, Guest at 11 cents per square foot. The tenders received for same were turned down because they were all too high, The Mayor stated that his attention had been drawn to the noxious weeds growing around town and was inform- ed -by Councillor Tipling that men were already cutting the weeds. Councillor Binkley, chairman of the Electric Light and Waterworks Com- mittee read a very car e f u 11 y, prepared statement of the receipts and expenditures of his committee for the Electric Light department, He explained by items that the total revenue of Electric Light department should amount to over $12,000 and if the expenditure of this department was handled carefully there should be a net saving of over $3,000, He also reported examining the standpipe and found it absolutely clean and no dirt whatever at the top of it, and that the reservoir would be cleaned out thor- oughly, and the electric pump was tested. The Mayor reported that he had sent four samples of town water to Toronto for analysis and was pleased to inform the people that -the report was to the effect that the water was first-class, He also suggested that the electric pump at the power house be worked at least an hour every month ed that it would always be inrepair and ready for use in case of fire's. Councillor Isbieter, Chairman of the Property Committee reported that the graes in the cemetery had been cut, but the cost for same was a good deal higher than last year. He was sorry to say that work at the cemetery was not satisfactory, but he was going to see that it was kept in better shape. The caretaker had been instructed to write to write to owners of plots that were not kept in good shape and that they be notified to have same put in order at once. Mr. Iabister recom- mended that the business of the cem- etery be attended to in future years by a commission, each commissioner to hold c ff.ce for a period of three years. Reeve Mitchell thought the cemetery should get the attention of the council above everything else; it brought in revenue enough to have it made an attractive place instead of a disgrace as it had been in the past. He thought that it was well worth the extra cost over last gear to have the work better done, and that was what it needed, a little more money spent also favored onit.reeveevery r The Y strougly the appointment of a com- mieaion to have the cemetery work looked•after as it ebould be.

Notice to Contractors A BALLAD OF THE BEND Eleven men, all brave and true, Foregathered on the Bend, To sail Lake Huron's waters blue, Engaged a sailor friend. "The weathers dry," said sailor Si, Said Jimmy, I .don't mind, It's a mistake to Bail the lake With three sheets in the wind," "The weathers warm; there'll be no sterna," Spoke sailor Si once more, "It's not too late to liquidate Before we leave the shore." "rust now," said Bink, with knowing wink, We ride the water van, When on the Bend, my sailor friend, We never pass the can." "Get busy Si," snapped Jim McKie, "Pull out your belly boat, Don't talk all day, let's get away, Confound your thirsty throat 1" They pulled her out; there ie no doubt They were a jolly band, With canvas spread, they sailed about Till out of sight of land. Rocked in the deep, Bob fell asleep While Charlie sang a song, And Jack and Matt kept up their chat And put the compass wrong, "It's getting late," growled skipper Clayt, t b er steer for home• " Wed et , Sighed Jimmy Carr, "You've gone too far, I wish I hadn't come." `Twee horrid dark, a tiny spark From Jack's cigar for light Was all they had, their case was bad They weasel a wretched night. "The storm came on before its time, They wandered up and 'down" But like poor Lucy in the rhyme They couldn't make the town. The banker bold got out hie gold, "I'd pay it cheerfully, If in the sky, we could descry The northern star," said he. "We're wicked men," said Dyer, then, "And getting worse at that, We cannot teach or pray or preach Let's pass around the hat," All through the long and dreary night Fred waited on the shore, Then on a fish pole swung a light Above the cottage door. The mariners beheld the glim And quickly reached the shore, With boat and crew all right and trim Sunday, A. M., at four. Those who the elements defy Deserve just what they get; Old Huron County'e awful dry, But 0, the lake is wet! As time ie short, this little tale Must now come to the end; The moral is, don't take a sail When you are on the Bend. ,SCRIBE, The Municipal Council Of the Township of Morrie aro coking for tnndor,t for the conntrnc• tion of the McNeil and tho Warwick Drainn.
