NORMAN'S "Counter's for Finer Jewellery for over Haff a Century in Huron County" COUNCIL HOLDS' SPECIAL MEETING Owing to the fact that the Even- ing Auxiliary was meeting in the Council Chamber, the special council meeting Monday evening . was held in .the Clerk's office, attended by a few interested taxpayers. Two items of importance., were de- bated, the first dealing with the raised assessment of the Richmond •Hosiery.

Since that time correspondenee has been ex- changed, notice being received from Mr. Richmond that d a unlesa wide con- cessions n � o - cessions we're granted hewould re- move hisequipment to the Mitchell plant. The matter was debated at some length and resulted in a motion that Mr. Richmond be notified that a special meeting had been called and that council was in favor of 'grant- ing him a much reduced assessment, asking that he be present at the reg- ular Jury meeting. If such is not convenient a special meeting at an earlier date will be arranged in an endeavor to keep the industry in town. The next item for discussion was that of forming a Volunteer Civil Guard. It was decided to hold this over until a later date. This action was also taken at .County Council, Reeve Trewartha reported.
