BEQUEST FOR 'FOUNTAIN ON MAIN ST. The inaugural session of ,Seaforth. municipal council was held in the. council channber at lit am., Monday, January Sth. The following members after mak- ing the required declaration of office, look their seats: Mayor, A. D, Suther- land; 'Reeve, W. W, Crosier; Coun- cillors, I. Hudson, L. ,F. 'Bolton, Jino. J. Broderick, Thos. H. Johnstone, iRobert W. Eberhart, Lottis Eberhart. Mayor Sutherland congratulated the members on their elections and called on Rev, I. B. Kaine to invoke Divine Aicl on the undertakings during the year. He informed council a striking committee could be ,formed to strike the several committees for the year or council as a whole could strike the committees without leaving the table. The latter method was adopted and all committees satisfactorily filled, meeting then adjourned until 8 o'- clock. He regretted the illness of Town Clerk Wilson, The Mayor at the evening session advised the several committees to be- come familiar with the duties of their respective departments, obtain an in- ventory of stock and equipment for which they were responsible, to ascer- 6c lain the necessity and cost of all ma - 20c terial, work, etc„ required before pro- ceeding, to look carefully into every account, pass noaccount until provid- ed with all information, to .listen care- fully to the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting, have any part re -read, as once the minutes are ad- opted the original nations are dest- royed; ask for inEornation of any kind at any time. With the unusually high figure of unpaid taxes it was ad- visable for the Finance Committee to look into the matter and report to council on :ways and Means for the collection of same. No reason why a large part .of the work could not be performed by those on relief accord- ing to the regulations as set forth by the 'Government, "when an able bod- ied man is given Direct Relief he is expected to do an amount of work somewhat equivalent to the amount of relief given. Payments in cash for work done in this way cannot be made, only food' fuel, clothing, etc." A great saving could be made in the ost of relief to the town. Changes should br made in the By -Law gov- erning the opening and operating of gas stations, etc. and payment should be made for our police performing duties outside the town. A representa- tive from the Public School, Col- legiate Institute and Public Library Boards should attend the annual nom- ination meeting. To -night we are at a loss to know just who is our repre- sentative with the possibility that should we proceed we may appoint a person who is already on. With the immense amount of work on hand for the evening, he concluded by asking for the hearty co-operation of all mein hers, There was no reason why the present council could not ,finish the year with reduced taxes, provide a satisfactory service to the entire coin mtuv:ty, provided however, each mem- ber use his own good judgment. The following was the invocation by Rev. I. B. Koine: "0 God, Lord. over all, we praise Thee for Thy fav- our shown unto our ,fathers, and Thy faith,fulnes's continued unto their chil- dren, in establishing our community in freedom and preserving it in unity, for traditions of wise and virtuous men and women; for an honourable place in our nation, and the promse of increasing strength. Keep Thou this people beneath Thy care, establish among thein. that righteousness that exadteth a nation, and guide theeni ac- cording to Thy will. Bless our com- munity with honaurabdo industry, that all may have work and the op- portunity to earn their own living, sound learning and pure manners, 'Grant unto Thy servants here as- sembled Thy gracious Presence -and blessing. Deliver them from all error, pride and prejudice, enlighten them with wisdom from above. Give thein vision to see clearly the action they ought to take in furthering the in- terests of this com'm'unity.
