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••.

anything.against Mr. -Embleton hair

.but that he thought,. the policy a
'wrong one. .

humanity. For the past forty-eight
years the influence of this holy re-

worthy of note that twenty-five
years from the time he received his `
Bret commission, he was appointed
as the Commissioner in. charge of
the Training College in London.
Then came appointments to overseas
eceninands, the first being Australia

the Australian Forces that Ilis Ma-
jesty Icing George V, was pleased to

missioner, and then 'Territorial Corn -
;Bander -for South Africa and New
Zealand. •
The 'Commissioner arrived in'Can-
ada in December, 1929, and, during
the last sixteen months has brought
into play his wide experience, in an
endeavout to' improve Salvation Ar-
my, facilities' to meet Canadian
needs. Already he has introduced
innovations that will have a far
reaching effect.
