There was a small' grist of business this month- and the meeting was 'short. Chairman Livermore of the park committee reported the park in good shape, thee' old grandstand having been fixed up for the Dominic./ Day Firemen's demonstration. • 'Chairman Crich reportedthe step completed along Victoria street side- walk and other repairs made. He was instructed by the council to ob- tain an estimate of the cost of put- ting tavola on the sides of Albert street from the mill -to the postoffice and also on Victoria street. Council for Holmes thought William street should be repaired and suggested that the street committee endeavour to obtain some used motor oil for use on dusty back 'streets. Chairman Holmes said in view of the fact that the firemen had gone in the hole a bit at their demonstra- tion that the council might assist to the extent of paying their Full in- surance premium and on motion of himself and Councillor Paisley this was agreed to. Mayor Cooper said he thought it only right that the town should pay for their insurance. O' motion of Councillors Holmes and Paisley it was decided to pay the firemen's half -yearly salaries in July instead of August. Chairman Livermore reported the cemetery in pretty good shape. H'e said some complaints had been made but that the new superintendent had been working very hard and sines coming in had had a great deal o" etxra work. He thought there war no cause for complaint. On motion of Councillor Holmes and Reeve Elliott the cemetery com- mittee was asked to communicate with the Wbnren's Institute in regard to adding something to the pillars recently set by that organization. Councillor Hohnet thought they should have some ornament or finish at the top. On,. motion of, Counoillors Liver- more • and Reeve Elliott it was de- cided to raise the rate of perpetuity care from 820-$26, to $25-$35, same to be advertised and the new rate to go into effect September 1st. Clerk Macpherson volunteered thr information, when this discussion was on, that some graves in the cemetery had been macre as far back as 1861 and in some cases no one here had any knowledge af.the where abouts of relatives who would take any interest in the keeping of the graves. Some years ago an effort bad been made to reach persons who had relatives buried here and a number were located. Several others were here during Old Home Week some years ago and arrangements made for care, but there were still some not claimed or cared for by. relatives. Chairman Cook reported some ex- penditure for meals for transients. Chairman Paisley presented the following financial report: Street Account Paysheet. ..363,6F S. J.

A SUDDEN .CALL, The following from a recent issue of The Toronto Star refers to the sudden death of the husband of a former Clinton girl, Winnifred Shepherd, whose friends here will sincerely sympathize with her in her e meow: "A. J. Henderson, Shriner of Lan- sing, Mich., died this morning at Toronto Western hospital, aged 64 yearn, He was construction superinten- dent of the Christman Burke Con- tracting Co. of Detroit, Lansing and Toronto, and had been connected -with the firm for 17 years, When that firm left Toronto in 1916, he went to the United States, returning here when they resumed Canadian opera- tion a year ago. Mr. Henderson was to have had control of building the new stables at the exhibition but was taken ill on the first day of construction," The Lansing Capital had the fol- lowing comment on this sad happen- ing: "Local friends of A. 3.

The taking off of one train each way on the II. & 13. line makes quite a difference in this office in the dispatching and arrival of mails. Tr cyder to catch the south -going mails. to Landon, Bayfield, Brucefield, etc., we must have our papers at the of- fice by half past two pent., incl in order to have our north -going inane. reach their destination the same day we must catch the up -going noon train, • The bringing in of correspondence, too, is somewhat delayed, The bud gets which used to reach us Tuesday afternoon do not do so until Wed- nesday morning and last week sev- eral carne in Thursday morning. As will be readily seen this is too late for the current week, if we ars to publish in time to catch all outgoing mails the day of publication, and that is what we wi o no. vv a would ask our correspondents to bear this - mind and get their 'budgets off in time to reach tis not later than Tues- day. Some will have to get them started a day earlier than usual" and that is what we hope they will do; It is our desire to get The News -Record into the hands of our subscribers just as soon as possible after it conies off the press and, too we life it to contain news from as• wide an area as possible, We ask our correspondents to consider• the trains, remember that we must go to press so early Thursday morning that we. cannot .handle any corres- pondence and also that we "trate like - poison" holding over correspondence until the next week.
