REDMOND RESIGNS M. 14 0 Resigtlation—Upper Dam Con. tract --Transient Trader's License The council met in the Cnuno ItCham. ber o'clock on Monday evening. All the members were present, Mayor Mc• Kibbnn presiding, The minutes of last tweeting were read and adopted, A communication from Muskoka Sanitarium was read, asking for the usual grant of $25. and left over; as also a request for Md for our wound- ed and disabled sailors. It was sug- gested that a committee should be ore ganized in each locality to organize to device ways and means of eeouring this aseietance. The Toronto Fire Department eent out a circular in which they advertise fire engine and other fighting appli• emcee for sale, The circular was band' ed to the property committee. An account was read from O. R. Stanton Co. for five books received by the Electric Light Deparment last year. The booke came in duplicate inetead of triplicate and were refused but later were returned. The matter was left witb the Electric Light Committee. Mr, A. M. Crawford asked to have $0 refunded him for sanitary tax ou the National Hotel property. Mr. Ohne, Donaldson appeared in the interests of the Sawyer Massey Co, asking that come settlement be made regarding the snow plow purchased by the Council through his firm last winter. Hr thought his company bad been very fair in offering to give the machine for $35, as tbey were now selling for $50 Chairman Ti -ding of the Street Committee thought that the snow plow was tried when the snow was very deep and possibly did not get a fair trial, He said it would he a very good implement to buy for use on the etreet as a grader. The matter was left with the Street com- mittee, Mr. V. R, Vannorman asked for the privilege of using part of the alley he. hind hie premises In which to pile tum. ber for a short time as be was making several improvements to his buildings and found he was short of room. On motion of Meeere Gurney and Patter• son his request was granted. Mr. F. R. Howson addreeeed the Cnunnil regarding their having receiv- sd a notice re the cancelling of the How,•on Ea Brookiehank water con- tract which was drawn up in 1000 for 10" years, Mr. Howson said he believ. ed that a very unfair statement bad been made at tbe last council meeting when it was stated that their mill dos- ed down in the dry season and when they could get no water power, just let the farmers go. He quoted sever- al instances where they had run with a lees comply to accomodate the farm - ere. They wanted to know definitely if they could get the power or not at the end of the six months time and not be left with too short a time in which to decide on what kind of power to in- etall. They bad built the time which cost $2,200 and when the interest on this money was added to the cost of their present power he felt it was more like $700 than $400 which they paid the town for power. Mr. Gurney felt that as hydro was coming very close to Wingham the town could not afford to spend usual money on the electric tight system and that after hearing Mr, Howeon's story he believed the council rhouid reconsider their steps at present. He also suggested that a new agreement could be drawn up where- by the town could sell this waterpow- er not only to Mr. Tioweon but to anyone who wished to 1100 it. Reeve Mitchell thought that Mr. Gurney's suggestion was a good one, he also favored withdrawing the notice to contract with Mr. Howson. He said the council should find out what our Electric power is coating and get it running eystetnetically before any- thing else le done. Coun, Binkley said that since Mr. Howson was prewar memo of the council hoard changed completely since last meeting. On the Mayor's being asked bow many voted to cancel the agreement be replied !everybody'. As there was nothing to hinder the agreement frons being re.
