1+II4ST-'COUNCIL 1VPE'ETING
The 1930 Clinton town council met
at eleven o'clock Monday forenoon,
were sworn in by the town clerk
then appointed a .striking committee
consisting of Councillors Paisley,
Holmen and Elliott, and adjourned
to meet et eight in the elvening.
All members were present at the
evening meeting, Mayor Combe in
the chair. Beford -entering upon the
business of the session ]Mayor Combe
took occasion to congratulate the
reeve and members of the council on
their election. When a contest is
held those elected cart he sure that
they are the chcdee of the electors
to carry on the business of the town,
he declared.. He thought that time
might-, be saved on Council meeting
nights if all mem'b'ers planned to be
on hand so that the meetings could
commence sharp at eight o'clock. He
also thought that no discussion
should take place without a motion
having been made. And -he suggest-
ed that when a member. happened
to arrive late he might offer a word
of apology not to him, personally,
hut to him as head of the town
council, representing the citizens.
Adherence to these small courtesies
and rules of conduct, he felt, added
to the dignity of the council.
After the reading of the minutes
of last meeting Clerk, Macpherson
gave a report of the passing of By-
law No. 10 for 1929, relating to pool
room licenses, which was given third
reading and passed.
Bylaw No. 1 for 1930, providing
for the appointment of certain offi-
cers', was read. On motion of Coun-
cillor Paisley and Reeve Trewartha
fhb three auditors appointed last
year were reappointed, Messrs. J.
Wiseman, D, W L. Cantellon and S.
L. Lucas, remuneration to be the
same as last year, $15.00 each. On
motion of Councillors Holmes and
Elliott W, H. Hellyar was appointed
to the Collegiate Board for the term
of three yeatrs; on motion of Coun-
cillors Thompson ' and Miller W.
Grant was appointed to the Public
Library board for three years, and
on notion of Reeve Trewartha and
Councillor Paisley D. L. Macpherson
was appointed to the Board of Health
for one year,
On notion of Councillor Paisley
and Reeve Trewartha Bylaws Nos. 1
and 2, the latter authorizing the
borrowing of money for current ex-
penses, were read three times and
passed. -
A communication was read from
the Department of Public Health re
the handlingof bread.
Dr. Shaw,
M.O.H., was present and addressed
the council, on invitation of the may-
or, regarding the comatunication
which was addressed to him. He ex-
plained that he had written the
Department to ask if any changes
had been made in the regulations
which the town should incorporate
in a new bylaw. He said the local
bakers had observed the bylaw re.
garcling the wrapping of bread for
the past sixteen years but that some
bread was coming into town wltieh
was not wrapped. The regulations
call for the wrapping of all bread or
the handling with white cotton or
linen gloves or with tongs. -
On the .presentation of the report
of the striking committee some de-
lay was caused by the refusal of
Couneillox Miller to act. as chairman
of the -street committee: He said
he would not object to working on
the committee- but would not act as
chairman. Several members of the
council and the mayor all testified
that they
had hmard ratepayers ex
press satisfaction that
Mr. Miller
was again to be in thecouncil as
he would look after the streets, all
seemingly being agreed that he wae.
the logical man for the position.
But he was firm in his refusal, the
report being adopted with the pro-
vision that the chairman - of the
street committe be arranged later.
On 'notion of Councillors Paisley
and Elliott the treasurer was autho-
rized to pay overdraft of the Pub-
lteschool board.

WIALKS ARE -ICY
Icy walks and roads have been the
rule this winter_ The weather has
been so changeable since Christmas
that no sooner "dries a bit of snow
comethan it thaws again, then
freezes: up, leaving the ,roads, so
slippery that walking ceases to he a
pleasure and becomes 'a weariness
and a risk. Just now the walking
very treacherous,, although the light
snow of yesterday, while adding
something to the risk of Walking for
a Haile owing to covering up icy
spots, is now being tramped in a bit
and renders the ice less dangerous.

IT WAS "WHOOPEE." -
A travelling troup calling thoni
selves the "Black. Birds Whoopee
Minstrels" gave an entertainment in
the town hall Monday evening. We
did not go up but, judging from the -
sounds coming dawn to the council
chamber while the council was sit-
ting• -we judge that "Whoopee" was
a proper name for the organisation.
The attendance was not large, as
Clinton does nbt patronize travelling
shows to any great extent, but a
number attended.
The small boy was thrilled a cou-
ple of times during the afternoon
when the "Black Birds" paraded the
front streets in gay attair with their
band.
