THE TOWN COUNCIL • The council suet on Monday even- ing, all present with. the exception of Councillors Paisley and Cook; Mayor Cooper in the. chair. After the reading and adoption of the minutes` of. last meeting a com- munication was read from Capt. Ward of the Salvation Army an- nouncing the expected visit' to Clin- ton of Commissioner Hay and in- viting the mayor and council to at- tend a meeting in the town hall Sunday afternoon and accept seats on the platform. On motion of Councillor Holmes and Reeve Elliott the invitation was accepted with. thanks and the clerk was instructed to so notify Capt. Ward. Another was sent by Mrs, James T. Brown enclosing bill for medical attention to her daughter, who had met with an accident by stubbing her toe on the sidewalk, and asking for payment of sante and four dol- lars damages. This was laid over until the insurance company is heard from. A commuuication was read from Chas. V. Cooke, cemetery superin- tendent, tencdes$ng his resignation, to take effect the first of June, III health was given as the reason for the resignation. Chairman Liver- more of the cemetery committee, ex- pressed regret that the town was to lose so good a servant, as he said Mr. Cooke had done his work in a very satisfatcory way, . but he said he''had been talking to hits and he thought there t g e e was nothing to be done but accept the resignation. On notion of Councillors Elliott and Livermore 17r. Cooke's resignation was accepted and it was decided to advertise for a cemetery superin- tendent. Mr, W. J. Elliott wrote asking per- mission to place a curb along the front of his property.. On motion of Councillors Livermore and Crielt this was granted, the work to be done in a mennor satisfactory to the street committee. Me. Elliott also gave an estimate of a cement step to be placed along the sidewalk on the east side of Al- bert street and on the west side of the postoffiee, where the walk Is high, the two pieces of dement, 242 feet, to cost $91:50. Mayor Cooper was strongly in favour of the steps and thought it did not look very well to have old boxes placed at intervals along the front street. Reeve Elliott and Councillor Holmes thought the need not so great and that the street allowance would be needed for the improvement of back Streets, many of which were in a bad state, Coun- cillor Livermore thought the step was needed but that perhaps this was not the right year to put on ex- tra expense, Councillor Langford thought the sides of the street might be raised and this would do away with some of the height of side walk, The matter was filed for the time being, Chairman Livermore reported work having been commenced on Re- creation park. , Chairman Crich had no particular report on the streets except that work was being carried on over the railway tracks: Reeve Elliott reported that En- ineer Patterson had been in town nd he hacI had a talk with hint and Gat he would later visit the town and make a survey of tate streets, giving some advice as to same, Chairman Holmes of the fire and water committee reported the pure chase of fifty feet of fire hose from the Dunlop CO., which he recom- mended be accepted and paid for, Chairman Langford of the pro- perty committee reported that the police cells hadbeen b n imed »aalso the fountain -in the park and some painting clone in the rest roost. On, motion of Councillors Holmes and Livermore it teas decided to al- low the buildings and forty acres of land of the farm of J. L, Brown, occupied by Mr. Embleton, east of town, to be assessed at the same rate as other farm lands within the corporation limits are asses- sed, the township of Hullett to con- sent to the transfer of -this assess- ment from the township. Couneillor Holmes Said Mr. Embleton had five small children and that it was a hardship for them to have to walk a long distance to school in the town- ship when a school was so conven- ient to thein. Clerk lVtacpherson said that the township of Hullett might not consent, in which case:the Provincial Railway Board would have to be consulted and they would hold a court and decide the matter. 'Mayor. Cooper- thought it was a foolish move on the part of former councils to allow owners of farm lands inside• the corporation a lower rate of assessment than other rate- payers, He thought all' should pay the same rate for the same privi••. leges. This was not .because he had anything.against Mr. -Embleton hair 'ing the same privileges as- others, .but that he thought,. the policy a 'wrong one. .
