THE TOWN COUNCIL The town council met on Monday evening, all members present, Mayor Cooper in the chair. ' There was not •much business be- fore the council, .Chairman Miller of the eenietery 'committee reported that the cemetery was looking very well,.the work having been pretty welt completed. "`Mayos Cooper. said he had heard many" complimentary things said about the cemetery's ap pearance and thought it Was a credit to the committee and the town. Chairman Middleton o>/the fuel com- committee reported a number of im- provements made in the street's, cros- sings gravelled, holes filled, etc. Chairan Middleton of the fuel com- mittee said that in view-. of the fact that the Provincial -Government seem- ed tq be taking up the matter of get- ting Alberta coal he thought the town need not, at the present time, take any special action. : He put forward a motion to the effect that a letter commending the action of the Hon. C. McCrae in contracting for Alberta coal for. Ontario should be forwarded. This motion was seconded by Coun- cillor Livermore and carried. The matter that caused most of the discussion was the revision of the Fire and Building bylaw, left over from last meeting. Several ofthe claus- es were revised a little again, at the suggestion of .eouncillors. When put to a' vote all voted for its fingl pas- singwith the exec tion- of Councillor h n Kemp, who voted nay. The bylaw is somewhat restrictive 'but the eeun- cilseemed to think that,, in the face of Ontario's high fire record, it was • not too restrictive, :Councillor' Li- vermore thought the bylaw should be. published so that citizens would know what the law is. Other - ineinliers thought that would be too .expensive. Mayor Cooper said,.the bylaws of the town' would be printed shortly and anyone wishing to see a copy might do so. On ]notion of Councillors Nediger, and Middleton the mayor and trea- surer were -authorized to sign cheques withdrawing sinking fund from the Royal Bank. On motion of Reeve Miller and Councillor Kemp a flag was purchased for the town hall. ,' Following is the financial report: - Street Ascount Pay Sheet/ •,, ..,;,.$105.80 E.

Oscar Tebbutt of the .Maitland concession. Mr. Lindsay had driven down from his home on; the Bayfield line to Holmesville to attend the monthly meeting of council. Being some- what early for the meeting he called at the home of Mr. and Mrs.'Tebbutt and while chatting to Mrs, Tebbutt suddenly collapsed and died immed- iately. .ilii. Lindsay had complained a little of not feeling well and during the summer had what was supposed to be a sun stroke, But his condi- tion had not been eonsidered serious. Mrs. Tcbbutt remarked to him just previous to: his collapse that he was not looking well, but his sadden death was a severe shock to .all the mem- bers - of his family and friends. David Albert Lindsay, son of the late David Lindsay, was born in Gode- rich township, on the -Cut line, on the faun now occupied bli his brother, Mr. B. Lindsay. He lived on a farm near.
