Barker of Seafortli preached at the morning service on Sunday, his subject being "Moral Re- form," The pastor occupied his own pulpit in tine evening.

League room at the appointed hour. After a brief program com- posed of selections by the orchestra, solos by Miss Lulu Howe and Mr. Murray Jack:eon, a reading by Miss Stewart, and a brief address by Mr. H. E. Rorke, the pastor occi.hpying the chair, partners were found , by means of Coral cards and refresh- ments were served at small tables laid in the class rooms. The rooms were prettily decorated ,with Cowers, giving a pleasant air of festivity, and a happy social hour was sperm. The weekly meetings of the League will be continued. THE TOWN COUNCIL. A .tM dnight'smetin of the Monday meeting town council 'Councillor Paisley ask- ed for light on the collector's roll. Are last year's taxes all paid ? If not why was 'the roll returned 0 Are there many in arrears and how far back ? From the answer it would appear that there are taxes still'' outstand- ing. • • Councillor Ford, chairman of the street committee, reported the year's , work as completed. "We- have spent our allowance so can't go. any furth- er even if we so wished. We have spent a considerable sum • . on the Base Lino and Bayfield Road en-. trances to the town and I believe have got good value for our money -and that it will be apparent .to all when the wet season sets in." Three small jobs . were subsequently sug- gested to Mr. Ford, at D, Tiplady's, 1 T. Judd's and W. Steven's, and he' undertook to see, that they were done, forthwith. The ,Waterworles 'Commission asked for 'more funds .to, extend the service. •Supt. Chant, in response, to en- quiry, said that of late they have; added •forty more 'householders to their list of users and have a dozen' applications yet to -deal with. He believes that fully one hundred more extensions will be asked, for.' After considerable dismission in; which the "councillors all took part it was decided, to ; ask the Ontario Board for pehlmession to raise $2000 by debentures s for extension purposes,) the debentures to be sold to the 'I Staking Fund account as the money i is required. A few year ago . Mr. Jos.. Copp sold a• piece of land on King sreet to the Thresher Company and in order ta give the Company more room a swap was made with the town council which ;accordingly mov, ed up the ;street, thus taking in the purchase from Mr. Gopp. The trans-. fer was red -taped according to the latest statutes. Unfortunately for the latter the Company went- smash before pain for the, 1 3 g lot. This is how matters stood when.the Motor Company 'took over the property. As Mr. CopP has never been paid' for . the land, and the prospects are n. g. he is now asking that it be returned to him. In dealing with the matter the councillors are rather afraid of getting into a ,Jogai' maze though personally symapthetie to Mr; Copp in his.endeavors to get his own. 'THS.
