Tuckersmith In Donbe-There is some doubt as to the situation of the 'grant supposed to have been made by the Tueker smith council to the Bribish Red Cross fund. It seems the council passed a resolution that a grant of five thous and dollars be made, but the council adjourned without passing the ,neces sary by lavv givingeffect to the nue' tion. At a special meeting of the council held a few days ago the cams oil decided not to pass the bylaw in the meantime, end- consequently no grant will be made until the by law is finally passed by council. It seems that a considerable sum has been rais ed by private subscription in some parts ot the township, and objection is made that the prcposed municipal undulyi grant is large n view of the amount Seised by private subscrip tion. Mr, John Hay of Tuekersmith died on Sunday, November 7. in his 65th year. Deceased was a former well known resident of North le'asthope, where he was born. 'He removed with his family to Tuckersrnith about seventeen years ago. While • in North Easthope he was councillor and after wards reeve for several years.
