and after meeting and appointing a
striking committee, composed of the
Mayor, Reeve .Elliott and Conuncil-

In the evening the •council met to

A number of citizens were out to
watch the :proceedings in the hands
of the nett council.
And, by the way, Mayor Holmes
might have been an old timer, so
gracefully and efficiently did' he pre-
side. He' congratulated the -council-
lors, old and' new on their election
and then called upon Rev. F. G. Far -

Before commencing on the busi-
ness of the session Mayor clohnes ex-
pressed his gratitude for; the way
Clinton eitizens, had supported hien
the week beeore. He said he realized
that at the present time Society is
like a person who .has had a serious
illness and 'is pow -convalescing. It
is an anxious: time, as in convales-
cence there is always a danger of
about to step into something better.
He had :a feeling, something like
that which prevailed before the great
war, that :something was going to
happen. He said that at the iast
ineeting of the old council a propos-
ial had been put up to it in regard to
new industries and that the old coun-
cil had been solidly behind any pro-
ject -which : would be for the good of
the town. He felt 'that 'he could say
as much for the new counciI,. He
had been talking to Mr. Mackie last
week, he said; and had urged him to
come along and make some definite
proposal.
After the reading. 'of the urinates
of the last meeting and the •state-
tory meeting a couple of communica-
tions were read, one from the Ontar-
fe Good Roads Association; asking
for a.m.embeeehip fee and extending
an invitation to a banquet to .be
given in the Royal York, Toronto, on
Feb. 21st.. On motion of Reeve El-
liott and Councillor Inkley this was
filed,
Mr•. James Cook of Joseph Street
wrote, sending greetings to the new
eounleil, saying that as "the old
council had left him stranded :he hop-
ed the new one Would send a tug to
pull him out."
Reeve Elliott asked just what

explained that the snow plow never
went near 1\lo Cook's residence,.
which is the only one in the block,
and he thought he had a grievance,
As Mi.. Walker is head of the street

great satisfaction and it was with
regret that his resignation was be••
Mg accepted. Councillor Cools also
expressed his regret at losing Chief
Stong and Mayor Hohnes added his
word of appreciation and regret.
"Chief Stong•" he said, 'was a man
of outstanding ability in his line and
his resignation was a loss to the.
community," Three years ago he
had turned down an offer ;from the
town of Elmira of a similar position
at an incroase in salary, preferring
'to remain in Clinton. He had always
found him a gentleman and was per-
sonally very sorry to see him go.

ceniinittees shook their• heads when
reports were called for the Bylaws

ceeding $30,000, to carry on business

that this sum would not all be bor-
rowed at once, might not all be bor-
rowed, "but only such sums as were
necessary. He also said that he
felt sure the interest rate would be
a Iittle lower thiel year.
