OBITUARY
MRS. FLORENCE FRENCH
Death came' quietly on Saturday to
one of Clinton's highly esteemed resi-
dents when Florence Coleman, widow
of the late Daniel French, died at
her King street residence.` Mrs.
French was in her 83rd year and
although she had not enjoyed the best
of health fgr some time, had borne
her infirmities with great patience
and fortitude.
A daughter of the late John and
Catherine Coleman, Mrs. French was
a descendant, of a prominent United
States family, that of John Quincy
Adams the sixth President of the
United States. She was also a cousin'
of the late Professor A. P. Coleman,
noted geologist, who passed away
quite recently. She was a trained
musician and possessed a rich con-
tralto voice, finding outlet for her
talents in this field as soloist in the
Oshawa churches. After spending the
earlier years of her life in Oshawa
Mrs, French came to Clinton and
while able had always been active in
charitable work. She was a devoted
member of Wesley -Willis church, tak-
ing a live interest in all organizations.
She was• a life member of the Wom-
an's Missionary. Society of the church
and was also the first president of
the local branch of Women's Instit-
r
ute. Her ready counsel and kindly
assistance was cheerfully given at all
times to any •worthy cause while
health permitted, and her death leaves
a void in the hearts of .a wide circle
of. friends.
Predeceased by her husband severalpayers, claiming that his information
years; ago Mrs. French is survived was for council only and not for re-
lease to the public. After speaking
for some fifteen minutes his case was
still not clear. The mayor pointed
out that unless he was prepared to
deliver to the public the information
he wished to give council in private
of Summerhill visited on Sunday withher pastor, Rev. Andrew . Lane, was there was no point in his continuing.

munieation stage, and had not \called
for applications for the position. Af-
ter some verbal debate between the
two parties the letter Was filed,
An amendment to the Transient
Traders' Bylaw resulted in a motion
by Waters -Agnew whereby 0, Noble
will receive, a refund of ' $50 on his
license. Tenders for uniforms for the
police will be .asked for from local
merchants. Routine reports of the
various committees were given. At
the next meeting the tax rate will
be struck and the departments are
asked to have their estimates in. In
this regard Reeve Trewartha said he
would like to see a 38 mill rate
struck, but present indications point
to a 40 mill rate. W. S. R. Holmes
suggested that council should strive'
for a lower hydrant rental which
would mean a saving of two mills.
Transient relief will be cut 'off at
April 1st. This concluded the reg-
ular business session.
MR. MOGG'S ADDRESS
As we ,have already said Mr,
]ltdgg's address was not by any
means satisfactory to the ratepayers
and he was hazed a couple of times.
Some remarks appeared to penetrate
beneath the 'skin. As far as giving
any information on the work done by
himself and associate he might just
as well have stayed at home. His
remarks were in the main confined, to

-but I've borrowed from the bank for years
Bowl By meeting the simple requirements a sound banker
asks from any borrower, no matter who he is.
First, lie wants to knowwhat the
money is to be used for. That's
reasonable; and I tell hint quite
frankly all the details.
He wants to know how I pro-
pose to'pay the money back. So, I
give him arise of all outstanding
bills, current expenses and my
income. That gives him a clear
picture of how I stand.
He waists to know where' work
andhow long I've held mypresent
position. He asks for security.
Naturally. He's lending deposit-
ors' money, that must be paid back
on demand.
And If 1 happen to have no se-
curityhe often lends me moneyon
my ownnote of hand, with one re-
sponsibleondorser-because we've
donebusinesstogetherfor years.

That's all there is to Ai I have always kept nay side of the
bargain, paid back as agreed, and established a line of credit
that often pro' red useful, when cash was badly needed.
