THP, TOWN COUNCIL The towncouncil met on eVeonday evening, all present with the excep- tion of Mayor Cortibe, who was Ile. Reeve eleiewartha presided. The clerk of the municipality • of Carleton Place wrote suggesting that the municipalities memoralize the Proviecial Government in regard to some assistance in the (support og families when heads of ;households are • imprisoned for infringreent of the Limier Control Act. Some dis- cussion followed but on motion of Councillors• Paisley and Thompson the letter was. filed. • . 'Communications were read from the .General Electric Co., 'Limited, and the Northern Eleetrin Co,, re- garding the proposed stop light sign for the •main corner. General dis- cussion ensued but the •coneensus of opinion -seemed to be that this was a dangerous eorner and that some such device should be erected to con- es* traffic. On motion of Council- lors Elliott and Tesisley it was de- cided to leave the matter in the hands of the street -committee, to confer with the District Inspector in Stratford and to have the light erect- ed if coinmittee agreed as to Advise ability. Acting-IVinyor Trewartha 'reported for the street comanitee, several min- er repairs, etc., and suggested that it •might be well to have tenders in for snow plotving. Some discussion follovedas to needed repairs in sidewalks. On motion of Councillors Paisley and Miller it was decided to ask for tenders for snowplowing. so that the plows may be ready when needed. It carne out in discussion that in December last the account for snow plowing was $200, but Clerk Macpherson said that was a very ex- ceptiopal year. Councillor Holmes thought there should be a snow plow for each ward and that each plow should start at seven o'clock so that all the streets inight be cleared in good time. Some streetslaet win- ter were not plowed until late af- ternoon and if a storm came up in the evening very little benefit was derived' from it. On motion of Councillors Holmes and Elliott the clerk was instructed to forward to Bayfield Police Corn- missioners account Tor $25 for ser- vices of firemen at recent five, Chairman Thompson of the cone- tery committee reported that the committee had confeverd with Supt. Rumba]) of the Public Utilities re piping water to the cemetery and such installation, with galvanized Pipe; would cost about $1600, about half of this would be used in labour. With copper pipes the cost would be about twice this amount. Chairman Miller of the property committee, seconded . by Councillor Cook, moved that the committee be empowered to have all cracks in teen hall stopped up before cold weather comes. Chairman Cook, charity commit- tee, reported a family on his list but he thought the father of the family would soon be able to take the respo-nsibility of caring for them. Under the head of new business the matter of the water extension to the cemetery was again brought op. Councillor Thompson spoke in favour as he felt that such an extension would be made at some future time and thought it might just as well be done now, giving work to men who needed it. Councillors Elliott, Mil- ler and Paisley were opposed to it and Councillor Holmes thought if money was to be expended to give work -to unemployed it might be more profitably spent on the -streets. Af- ter some discussion the following motion was passed, moved by Coun- cillors Holmes and Thompson: "That the street committee take a survey .of the town streets to see what' can' be done to provide wok for some cit- izens now unemployed." A:ding-Mayor Trewartha, who is head of the street committee, said that it had been his custom when ad- ministering •publie funds always to keep within his estimates. Last year was an exception, when the pro- perty committee had to make unex- pected expenditures on the town, scales, but he dui not like to overrun his estimates and if the new stop sign was installed he would not have sufficient funds to do much on the streets. If other committees having some money they could spare would turn it over to the street committee it wolld be all right. as the ma - jolty of the council thought the stop sign ought to, be provided. 'At the request of the council Clerk • Macpherson read a circular sent to the municipalities from the secre- tary of the Unemployment Relief Fend, setting forth the conditions on which either assistance in ,ptiblic undertakings to provide employment or direct Belief will bes given. ' Work undertaken for the rellet of unemployment should be distributed as widely as possible amongst all. Ifthere ia,notenough to employ all', full time, then all should be eraploy- ed for some of the time. Estimates ofall contemplated work must be sent in ,to the government, and no payment itt excessof these estimate* Direct relief will be given where necessary, but only in excess of a- mount paid out annually in relief. And it must be shown that mem- ployment conditions ' ere acute and serious and worse than usual before ENGA.GEMENT ANNOUNCED The engagement is announced of Olive R, daughter of Mr Lyon and the late Relay Lycei,,Lendesboro, to Mn. J. Earl Gaunt of Lecknow, the marriage to take place in November. HALLOWE'EN SUPPER. The Ladies' Auxiliary - • of the Presbyterian •Oeureh `served, a Hal- lowe'en sapper on Thuesdayenening.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT On Tuesday afternoon Charles Dalmage, lineman for the Rural Hy- dro working out of Clinton, came within a very short distance of being fatally injuved when, while working between ,here and Brueefield, he came in contact with a live. wire carrying four thousand or so volts. At the time he was alone, his as- sistant being some distance from him, and when noticed he was seen to be hanging front the pole by his belt. Ile was quickete. taken dowel and rushed to Clinton hosptial, where it was found that his left arm, leg and side were badly burnt, as well as some burns about his face. It was a near thing and the unfortun- ate man cannot recall just what hap- pened. arr. Dalmage is a young man, a- bout thirty, is married and came to Clinton recently from Mitchell, His condition is improving as well as can be expected. any assistance is given either for the carrying on of emergency week or direct relief. There are at time of writing about thirty registered as unemployed in Clinton. According to figures given by the town clerk Clinton has only paid out $320.15 in relief or charity during the past ten years, en average of $32.01 per year. In 1925 the amount was but $3.40 and in 192.7 $9.60, The largest outlay for charity was • in 1924, when the sum, of $79,71 was expended.
