A communication was read front the Bell Telephone Company asking permission to ere2.t four poles on the north side of Princess ' street, On motion of Councillors Cooper and Nediger this was granted, provided the work is done tinder the supervis- ion of the street committee and that due care be taken to preserve the trees along the street, The following communication was received front Mr. Brydone: CLINTON COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE Clinton, Ont. Sept. 24th, 1021. D. L. Macpherson, Esq., Town Clerk, Clinton Ont. Dear Sir: The School Attendance officer ap- pointed by this Board has reported to me as Chairman of ' the Board, that he fears he will be unable to carry out his duties under the Act by reason of the fact that you may not be able to supply him with the information which you are required to furnish under Section 10 of the School Attendance Act, by reason of the fact that the assessor may not have completed the book referred to in the part in question in the manner required by the revision of that sec- tion in 1021, This would so ser- iously interfere with the duties of the Attendance Officer that I fear he would be unable to proceed in any way. Any defect of this character in the Assessment Roll might compel the School Board to make a census of their own and the expense would have to be borne by the Town. We think the attention of the prop- er oficials should be called to the sit- uation. • Yours truly, W. BRYDONE Chairman C. C. I. Board. This has to do with the new amendment to the School Act and some discussion followed, then Mr. Wiltse, secretary. of the school board, who happened to be present, was asked to give the council any infor- mation he could upon the matter, which he did, reading from a circu- lar sent out by the Department. The work of having a census taken of all children under eighteen falls upon the municipal council, but in case the council fails to do it the school board may have it done. Councillor John- son thought the board might as well take it over as the assessor had fin- ished his work and someone would have to be procured to go over the town a second time. Mr. Wiltse thought the assessor, who knew the town, could do it easier than anyone else. The matter was left in the hands of the finance committee. Chairman Miller made a verbal re- port regarding work done on the streets Ho said many low places in the walks had been levelled up and Maty street drain opened.. The re- port was adopted. On motion of Councillors Miller and Nediger the date of the first meeting of the court of revision was fixed for Nov. 27th. On motion of Councillors Cooper and Paisley the matter of the rear- rangement of lights on Huron street was left to the street committee with power to act, and on motion of Coun- cillors Cooper and Johnson the lights on Rattenbury street are to be re- arranged so as to the better light Library Park, the matter to be re- ported at the next meeting of coun- cil. The mayor was called from the room for a few minutes during the session, when Councillor Johnson was asked to •take the chair. This he filled easily and gracefully. On motion of Councillors Paisley and Nediger it was decided that the grant to the G. W, V. A. of rent, light and heat for the club rooms be withdrawn after Oct. 31st, the for- mer motion giving the grant to be rescinded, Mayor McMurray said that the Salvation Army officers had brought to his attention the condition of Mrs. Bull and wished the council to assist int obtaining for her a course of hos- pital treatment. On motion of Coun- cillors Johnson anti Cooper the mat- ter was left in the hands of the mayor and the charity committee, with power to act, Chairman Nediger of the property committee reported that the "Noted Surgeons" had presented a launch to the town hall park and reeonnnended h heel instructed 1 to Write that,the cheek b tna tttetet w rte 0 .hank them behalf o the aofds o Out f council; that the smoke pipe of the furnace be removed front the carmen chamber to the beesment and run ill - (Continued on Pogo G) CLINTON MARKETS, Wheat, $1,24.

The hall Was then closed while the judging, took place. Live stock, chickens, etc., Were placed in the alley south of the hall, The display of fruits, vegetables, grains, flowers, etc., would rival many a townsln'ip fair and there were many other things not seen at the township fairs.
