The Wingham Advance, 1915-03-11, Page 1hese_ e • The gingham Advance. 43RD YEAR NO. 24 WINDHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, MARCH 11, 1915 Residence Burned .-�.-. Oa Friday afternoon last the roof of Mr. John F. McCracken's residence on the Biuevale road was diecovered to he in themes, supposed to have been caused by it spark from the chimney being fanned into a blaze by the stiff .east wind blowing at the time, Being without fire production nothing could be done to save the building. Many men soon gathered on the scene from the neighborhood and the village of Bluevale and worked most heroically to save the contents. Most of the furniture was taken out of the tower 11 ,or but very little could be got from the upeteire before the roof collapsed, The house was built about forty-five years ago by the late Sohn McCracken Sr., Messrs. Mavwell and Murphy be- ing the contractore,of massive timber, and was, practically, in as good condi- tion as the day it wee builtXHad it not been for the heavy walls a d floor- ing used throughout very little, in- deed, would have been saved from the flames owing to the start the fire ob- tained and the gale. The lose, which ie pertly covered by insuiance, tar ex- ceede and monetary consideration to the family being the old homestead. Mr, McCracken intends building as soon as possible. ,seres.

There is a ready mar, ket for all the farm products we can produce over and above our own re. quireneente, A twenty per cent increase in farm production will cover our interest payments and maintain the country's credit.

Auditor's Report Oa Thursday night last a number of citizens attended a meeting in the T•swn'Hali at which Auditor Flynn read and explained portions of bis re- port. The report is now in the hand of the finance committee and will he printed she() sly. In the meantime the Advance refrains from any particular t:umment on same, After the Auditor'&' report is printed and is placed in the minds of tbe•ratepayere, it can be then reed, marked and inwardly digested. After that a public meeting should be Balled when the matter could be in- telligently debated, Auditor Flynn was asked by the Advance if he would return to such a meeting and he re, plied that he would be pleased to do 90. Auditor Flynn commenced by say - leg that every official of the town bad come through spotless and untarnieh- ed, not one cent of the towed money had gone astray. He then laid down many good gen- eral principals that the town might follow, He had taken a run over previous years to find where the de- ficit had accumulated. He found a deficit of $6,810 in the general account, The SinkingFund was in oxcellenr :audition, there being $2,300 more o he Sinking Fund than is required by law. The Auditor stated that there was no deficit at the end of the year 1909. This is quite a tribute to Ex - Mayor Gregory who was Mayor of Wingham for the year 1900. Then in the year 1010, when Mr. William Holmes was Mayor, a deficit of $3,550 was created. In 1011, the first year that George Spotton was Mayor, there was a deficit of $180. In 1912, the sec' ond year that George Spotton was Mayor, there was a surplus of $955. In 1014, whenMr.0.G.Vanetone Was Mayor, there was a deficit of $4777. 1n 1914, the first year for Mayor Ir- wtn, there was surplus of $1.000. Auditor Flynn made many good Bug: gestions which if carried out should result in profit to the town. He is not favorable to Councillors having any business traneactions with the muni- cipality. He also strongly disapprov- ed of the idea of the Council of 1014 making money out of the cemetei y profit there was through the chat any p g said of cern etery lots and should be used to embellish "God's Acre." After Mr. Flynn was through, lee and the Mayarr Were asked a number of questions. The Mayor was asked 'or Mr. Bone as to what the audit was :costing the town but His Worship could net say. Auditor Flynn was !.asked by Mr. Spotton .what the cost of i the audit would be, that he understood l et would be in the neighborhood of $1.000 but the Auditor would neither ..affirm nor deny. Mr. W. P. Van - Stone suggested o that Provincial audit would have been superior. Then Mr. 5 s asked bya memberthe Flynn was m of h r► y . until to give the audience an mire of the cost of a provincial audit. Mr. Flynn did so and showed that provin- .utsi audits went alt.ths way from $400 to $1800. The provincial audita in Cheel'ey and Trenton were ebniething like $800 and $1200, respectively. Of course tbie meant an audit of them for a great many yeata back while the audit in Winghats is sitppl for the year 141144, with alittle peep into form. er years" Jt1r.

You will remember that early in January, you were very much as- tounded, when the Bank informed you what the actual overdraft of the town was. Then at a council meeting following shortly, you stated publicly, that the (High Fin- ancing' started in ex -Mayor Spot - ton's term,that the trouble began in 1911. Now, Sir, I was Mayor in 1911 and 1912 and your own Auditor, Mr. Flynn, reported at the public meeting, that in 1911 my colleagues and myself paid our way all but $I80 and in 19I2, we paid every. thing that we contracted for and left a balance of $955 in the Trea- suary. Now, your charge was either (true' or 4fa1ee'. If it was tine, then, Auditor Flynn is wrong, If it was 'false' then I trust that there will be some little spark of manit - nese, that will telI you, that you should retract your charge as pub- licly as you made it.

After the Usual businese was complete ed, Mise Eva Patterson delighted her audience with her 6010 entitled "The Brook." She was ably accompanied by Miss Nora Gracey, our school pianist, Here the program took a practical turn, this date being the one set for the twentieth century sittings of the Division Court of the Wingham High School. Our records stored up down cellar behind the axe, show that the number of cases brought before the court for settlement bas been grad- ually decreasing during the past five or six decades. But it le discouraging to notice that the cases on which Louis Eatereon, London, L.B.O., K,O. (V Johnston) gave final decision on Thurs- day, showed more real criminal intent than any which have preceded. The magnitude and importance of these maize& can be more readily appreciat- ed from the fact tbat the plaintiff, the H. S. Literary Society, found it necos- .ar to obtain the services of George Malcolm Rud.dale Pounder, M,A , L,14 B,. S.O., of Philadelphia, Penn. or in other words, George Joynt of Francis Street. The defendants, Ches- ley McLean and 3. O. Hutton, in an at, tempt to justify their fraudulent prat• sites procured at high cost, the coun- sel of Benjamin Theobald Lawson, M. B., K.R.O., of Prince Rupert whose Sunday flame is Alex. Henry. As the trials proceeded the :questions of the two lawyers brought out the facts connected with the case. It appears that the defendants purchased goods at an auction sale held on Dec. 10th 1914, and instead of paying cash for these, gave their promissory notes which they afterwards refused to pay. When J. Hutton was called into the witness box, after some preliminary remarks, by a comparison of his sign- ature with that on the note he at- tempted to prove that these were not identical, but the chirographer. Von Kirsh Ashtoreth (Geo. W. Howson) testified that both signatures bad been written by the carne person, but that, that on the note had been written with the left band. It was really on this evidence that the judge based his dei cieion because it she ved the depth of the plot to defraud the Society of about eighteen cents. C. McLean, who appeared in court in a bard -time euit with a hat not to match swore along with his backers that the origin- al note had been drawn up at six menthe for thirty-one cents, but in home mysterious way the time bad been ()banged to one month. Various witnesses who had been seen handling the notes were called and given a chan- ce to testify Hie Lordship that they had not tampered with the notes. It finally developed that C. McLean, himself way responsible for the alter- ed condition of his note. We cannot readily understand why he made this change, ae it was to his own disadvan- tage, but this made no change in the final deeielon. The lawyers with great oratorical flourishes, for the benefit of His Lordship, stemmed up the eviden- ce, submitted in two entirely different tights, and after some deliberation, Judge Loudon gave bis decision that John Hutton must pay his no's with •hree cents cost. on or before Friday, March 19, 1915, and that C. McLean must pay his with two cents cost on or before Mar. 23, 1915. The reason for the difference in the time allowed hi due. His Lordship stated, to McLean'&' weakened financial condition as shown by his answers during the trial to ques bone regarding receipts end expendi tures. The appellate division of the (1,,ort is in position to wish to dispute the decision. Mr. G. R. Smith, as critic, gave some valuable advice to the students and passed some of bis genial remarks no the program.
