By era this is meant those teen that have. not sees fit to present their claims through the postofltce. Besides these, each tribunal will handle ten cases per day, for the first 3 days of the session, and after that twenty-hve cases per day'. The claims for exemption have been allotted to the various tribunals strictly in the order in which they were received by the Registrar. Bence the man who sent in his claim first will be heard first. The decisions from day to day wilt be forwarded to the Regis- trar, and in those cases wbereex- emption has been granted, and no appeals entered, exemption cer- tificates, based .on the findings Of the tribunals, will issue from the Registrar's office. It is ex- pected that these certificates will • begin to move out from the Re- gistrar's office about November 12, or a day or two later. That does not mean that every person will receive his exemption certi- ficates on or itbout those dates, as certificates will be sent out every day until the tribunals are thro- ugh granting them, B.

Macpherson, Town Clerk, Clinton, Ontario: Dear Sir:—We have again been con- sulted by John Connell in reference to the drain belonging to your town which has no outlet other than it de- posited the water -on his land, The water is impregnated with sewerage, and is very offensive, besides it has in it refuse from the Knitting Factory wIfieh discolors the water. We took this matter up with your Corporation before, and on the 7th of September, 1910, you wrote us a letter that you were hating an official from the Prov- incial Board of Health loot: into the 1 Situation. At the time something was done by the Knitting Company and we; understood that 'the Corporation oft Clinton would remedy matters. Mr, Connell has allowed this nuisance to go on, trusting that the town and the Kniting Company would abate it. His instructions ;are to at once issue a writ against both the town and the Knitt- ing Company, and ask for act injunct- lon to restrain the nuisance. We do not want to take this step if it can be avoided, but Mr. Connell is positive about the course he wants us to pur- sue. Will be pleased to hear from you ',et an early date, Yours truly, Proudfoot, Killoran & Cooke. The Clerk stated that he wrote the firm stating a Committee had been ap- pointed. to attend to this matter which letter referred to and would report at Council meeting on the 5th, hence the second letter. Goderich, Oct 27th 0, L.. Macphersc. ^. 'l'aw'n Clerk, Clinton, Ontario: Dear Sir:—We received .your letter of the 24 th. Cannot you bring this matter before the Council before-the- 5th efore--tile5th of November? Our instructions) were v. act :t once, and it was only out of deference to the 'Council that we have held the matter open, Mr, Connell seemed to think that he had not been properly or fairly dealt with, and was most positive in his instrwct- ions as to What we should do. He seemed to have the impression that we diel not press the .matter as we should have. Will be pleased to hear from you if anything can be done before the 5th of November. Yours truly, Proudfoot, Killoran & Cooke. To close up this matter at once the following notion of Councillors Wiltse and Miller was darried That the Clerk be instructed to notify all per- sons using the Mary street drain as a sewer to sever connections forthwith, and that a copy of this notion be sent ten Proudfoot, Killoran & Cooke, that they may know we are trying to meet Mr. Connell's w ishes in the matter. These following letters were from1 m Dr, Hill, of the Institute of Public Health at London. London, Oct, 29th, 1917 Dr. C. W. 'Thompson, Mayor of Clinton; My Dear Air, Alayor:-1 am greatly interested 1n your letter of October 26th, 1017. 1 anis rattler skeptical of the Purification of that stream in so short a distance as.half a mile, but of course determining what actually is the condition would require inspection and perhaps analyses. We would be glad to make the analyses for you but 1 run inclined to think that the Provincial Board would support the contention that you had no right to put untreated' sewage into a stream which was used( by anyone who objected tan using it in thai(uditirrt. The point has been well established that a farmer has the right to object to the contamination of a stream running through his place. 1 presume that he does not use it tor anything except his stock but even so, the Province would support him, The question of n'atsatice 1S a separate one front the question of danger and a simple inspection would showwhether or mat a definite nuisance existed, It would then be liecefal'y 10 show that this nuisance, 1f it existed, depended upun the sewage which you are putting in and of course the presumption would be, that it was due to that. Aly own. advice in the matter would be, that the city in all probability will tied the shortest , and best way out of it, consists in collecting the sewage of these houses in one septic tank and providing sueh disposal of the e(tluent that it does not enter the stream ex- cept in 'a satisfactory condition. White the are glad to make the analyses and to advise ,You informally in this sway, 1 should point out that we have nal the final authority in the matter outside the city of London and that the Provin- cial Board might just as well be. con- sulted direct since their rulings will be tinhi, but I imagine they will be about as above, 01 course if it is possible to connect these clout) families with your regular city sewer, thwl will be still better and make a permanent Job of it. If you -wish to have analyses made we will semi you .the proper outfits for collecting the water, unless you have them already. You, of course, know that ytiu can keep them in stock if you like .Through your Health Officer obtaining tilenI direct from Toronto.

Kittie Band November 2nd, 1917 '1'o the Mayor and Council Town of Clinton, Gentlemen:—After a recent and thorough examination of all their brass instruments the. band has found it nec- essary to have these horns overhauled and having in view a big program for next year, have decided to get them silver pfaetl. Phis will improve the general appearaece of the band 100% l'he instruments are in bad shape every way; they need tuning; have leaky joints; and surae have several large -- dents. The men anticipate a big program for next year and are already getting in shape for it. A higher grade of ]music is being taken up and a .general improve mint in all departments is assured. They :re giving their best efforts to advertise Clinton, not only to the sur- rounding community but London Fair and intend bringing this town to the "front" at Toronto Fair next Fall. But It cannot be done unless the horns are in good condition. The Band secretary obtained prices for overhauling and silver-plating from three different firms and the enclosed tetter represents the lowest terms offered; their price is :275. After paying all sundry ex, penses such as hail rent, light. fuel, etc, the band will be short about 575 of the required amount to fix up lite instruments. They now -ask you for a donation of this amount. The horns are property of the town, and it is up to you as good business men to keep them in first class repair. Besides, ad- vertising for Clinton such as a Kittle Band with tine looking equipment, can give, is cheap at 575. We look for- ward to receie'ing a donation of this amount. Yours truly, E. C.
