The town council met in the council chamber on Monday evening. His wfie 1 o h' a p Mayor Irwin in the chair. The minutes of regular and special meetings were read by the clerk. Reeve Mitchell objected to thebill of John Glenn for $25 for repairing bridge he thought the price too high. :Mr, Currie as chairman of the street committee explained that the bridge in question was in bad shape and when the committee looked into the matter they fonnd it was a foot too low they had also considered putting on a cement top, They had another man give an estimate on the job and his was $40. They had purchased goad lumber at half what they would have to pay for new lumber and taking into considera- tion the drawing of lumber amount of nails and other material in the estima- tion of the committee they had receiv- ed a profitable job. Mr. Mitchell rais- ed the objection that the lumber had not been purchased as it should by the purchasing committee, it had also been bought from a member of the council and the job was not let by tender as jt ehould have been, The mayor said the reeve was quite right the lumber should not have been pur- chased from a member of the council. Mr, VanNorinan stated that he had sold the lumber to Mr. Glenn and not to the council and d he had done it as an,obligement to the committee he sold the lumber for half its value. Tha minutes were finally adopted as read. communication from the Hydro Electric Association asking the coun- cil to join their association the mem- bership fee of which is $10, was read and filed. A communication from the city of London askipg that the council sign the enclosed resolution, requesting the government to amend the Coloniza- tion Act; whereby industrious im- igrants could take up homesteads and have a few years to pay for same. Laid ever for further consideration, Mr. George Robertson waited on the carecil asking permission to place a gas pump on the sidewalk in front of his new garage also asking that the councilotave the entrance to hie garage given more elope as it is very steep. and made it inconvenient to drive in and out over. Councillor VanNorman said he would like to see Mr. Robert- sotab r a better mean of entrance but If it was fixed the same as it was at the Town Hall it would be bother- some as the pipes freeze solid and the - gutter is therefore blocked, he would suggest something temporary. Re- garding the placing of a tank under the sidewalk he was doubtful if the council were not going beyond their powers in granting such. Moved by Councillors Binkley and Patterson that Mr. Robertson's request be grant- ed re placing of the gas pump at the edge of sidewalk also that the approach to garage from Main St. be graded if a gaurantee iegiven that the road bed will be put in good condition, Work to be done under the supervision of the street committee. Moved in amendment by Councillors Crawford and Currie that Mr, Robert- son's request be referred to the street committee with power to act—carried. Councillor Patterson thought the council should nd no t detain the man another month as he would likely want the work completed while the weather is fine, Mr. Binkley stated that hie motion called for the work to be done under the supervision of the street committee. The finance committee reported fav- orable to the payment of a number of. accounts and on motion of Patterson andB' tnkle the reportwas passed y p as read. The fire committee reported that the following supplies should be added at once to the firemen's equipment viz. 100 feet of hose, 1 axe, bundle gaskets, 2 lanterns and one axle wrench for hook and ladder. Moved by Patterson and Binkley thatstbe report of the fire Committee be adopted—carried. The fire brigade through their pro- perty committee reported a shortage of hose. The attendance of the last lire meeting was also reported. Councillor Binkley reminded the council of the petition which was pre. sented to the council attheir last meeting asking for a light at the cors tier of Oariing Terrace and John St, A committee had gone around and picked out the dark corners of the town here lights were needed most, and reported favorable to the instal. ling of lights ou twelve Corners viz. John and Carling Terrace, Victoria and Shuter, John and Prances, Maple and Manley, Centre and Alfr ad �Albert and Shuter, Bement works cpener, near 5, Mitchell's corner, changing resent light p g t from grist mill to the bridge, change light from east side of C. P. R. tracks to 13. T. Co. pole aOroes the street, Edward and Patrick, Wil. liam and John, Edward and victoria,. making an estimated cost of $325 00. Moved by VanNorman and Currie that report of Mr. Binkley o p . h street lighting be left in the hands of the Electric Light Committee with power to not --Carried The Mayor brought before the court. ell the heed of papering the fire de- partment rooms as they were in a bad shape and the bola had no money in 1 the treasury, he thought it was as little as the council could do to paper it. After a good deal of discussion it was moved by Reeve Mitchell and Councillor or Crawford that the Council paper the Firemen's Hall. --Carried The council were agreed that the rooms would have to be kept gleaner, Uncertified accounts of Mr. Frank Glutheridgleand R. W. Adams were left over till next meeting. An ac- count from the Times for the printing of debentures came up for discussion, Moved by Binkley seconded by Currie that this account be left in the hands of the executive committee to present at next meeting. Bylaw No. 747, •a byelaw closing up that portion of the public lane situate between lots 307 and 368 and lots 403 and 404 was read three times and passed on motion of Councillors Binkley and Crawford, The council purpose building a foot• bridge over the Maitland alongside the G. T. R. tracks, After some con- sideration it was decided there should be a new agreement drawn up with the G. T, R. the old one having been made about six years ago and the cost would be somewhat greater now. Reeve Mitchell drew the attention of the council to an old barn near the tool house, which was the property of the town, and was in a very filthy condition. He thought there was as much dauger of fire now as when the property committee were trying hard to eell it, for that reason. Councillor Crawford e w d rated that Mr. VanNorman had purchased it. Mr, VanNorman stated he had only a lease on it. but he would attend to it in ,the course of a few days. Council adjourned. Sheil Box Contract The Union furniture factory which l as been lying idle for some time will undoubtedly be running in the course of a week or so, Preparations are about completed whereby they will start on a large order for shell boxes,- Safe Works at Wingham A representative of an American Safe Manufacturing Co. was in town last week looking through.the old chair factory with a view to -buying. He was greatly impressed with the town and, said the factory would with a few hundred dollars worth of alterations bean ideal one for their work. He left here for Woodstock to make a proposition to the Canada Furniture Manufaeturere at their head office,; Changes Of Residences The Misses Gowdy have taken up residence in the rooms . over Mr. Greer's store, Mr. Thos.

Munro on Centre St, Mr. 0. Templeman and family have moved into Mrs, Galbraith's house on Edward St. They Deserve it AU The Lucknow Sentinel went for Kinloss townerip in proper style last week and we say "bravo"! Kinloss reeve actually kept the appeal for Trafalgar day funds to himself insofar as he did not call a public meeting and there make this appeal known. Kinloss is one of the richest townships in Bruce 'countyand sheactually is a disgrace to the county because of her unwillingness as a township to take any part in contributing to the aid of our brave soldier lads. A Small Blaze A blaze was noticed working its way in the partition of an ice house at the rear of the Queens Hotel. The fire alarm sounded and the firemen with their hose and reel were soon on the scene, but a number of willing workers go'• busy with pails and had the fire under control before they arrived. It is thought that a spark from a bonfire must have ignited in the dry grass, Had the fire started at night there would have been but a slim chance of it being discovered before the entire building and possibly the Queens stable would have been destroyed. A Slippery Bunch A band of gypsies lauded in town on Monday morning and half dozen or more females went from store tost re telling fortunes, Their scheme was to get a merchant to give them some bills' 'to draw across his, hand's and they would make them rich. One mer. chant is $20poorer therebyand w e have heard of others but they won't admit it. In a few cases the dark ladies received very pressing invite. tions to leave before they would have to be r thrown out. This same band. w we understand, secured a couple of diamond rings from a Lucknow jeweler on the previous Saturday. On Sun- day morning they 'were comfor- tably located on a sideroad a couple of miles east of Lucknow, but being somewhat .molested they moved their abode a few miles nearer Wingham, poesibly so as tO not be late for work in Wingham on Monday morning. Ohief Alien made their v eit to tow n only of short duration. Something should. be doneto a the e ro retie o to h f atop p !� this flouriehing pirate band.
