The mayor' said as this was the first regular meeting of the council he thought it might not be amiss for him to say a few words as to what he' should like to see ac- complished during the year. He thought Clinton should have a live Board of Trade or Chamber of Com- merce. We used to have one, he said but for years it has not ex- cept on very rare occasions. Ho thought it more important now than formerly, as with the general use of cars trade can be drawn from a -nuch- wider area than in years past and he thought such an organization could do good work. He spoke ,of the work of' the Wo men's Institute, an organization which had done much good work and should be encouraged. ' Ile• said the council might not assist with grants but -he thought the council might well pro- vide that the Women's- Institute should be allowed -to use the council chamber or board room for their meetings. He understood the argani- zation was planning to decorate_the stage, and he was for encouraging them in their work. Th -Hon e re and School Club was an. ether -organization- which was doing good work in the town. They had provided a teacher of music for the c S c 'Pu li U r School and' lust ecentl Yha d. presented a very fine gramophone to the Collegiate. The Horticultural l Society the town 'assisted by an annual grant, which wast 're urned in good measure by the chapgingaof many very ugly spots in- to places of beauty. Itwas' a .worth- while organization., The town band was another vele- able organization. The council gave a giant to the band and the bandre- turned it by giving summer: band con- '- certs and also by- advertising the town to the community round about. He liked to see a good band, it was an asset to any town.' ' The Fire Company, too, 'should be recognized as an important organi- zation. He understood the fireinen had new uniforms,but nobody' had seen them: He thoght a public in- spection ; of this organization, when they might don their new uniforms end 'showus what they looked like on Parade, would not be out of place. The Mayor said that while the coiin cit was' the body which taxed the peo- ple, struck the rate and said how mucheach one should pay in taxes, that it had the spending of very little money, the schools, the county, offic- ails' salaries, interest, etc., used up most, of the taxes, the actual amount controlled by the council being com- paratively small. - "But if the rate' -goes up .a'mill or two the people Al- ways say the council is extravagant," he said, so it behooves the members to 'handle the peoples' money care- fully." A communication was `read from W. J. Elliott and W. Burton offering to do snow plowing at sixty cents per hour, plows to start at seven o'clock .a.nr, On motion of Councillors Lang- ford and Cooper this offer was aceep- The Bell.

On motion ofou C ncrllors Langford and Paisley this permission was given, providing the trimming of trees and placing of poles be done carefully and with the approval of the street committee. , . - A communication from the Ontario :Goad Roads' Association was filed. A request for a grant was receiv- ed from the Salvation Army Home at London and. on motion of Couricillora Livermore' and Holmes ' a` grant of $50.00 ayes voted.
