of fixing the streets would be against
a re -union, also the building of a
grandstand would be expensive, He
was assured, however, that the stand
would be built.
When it was suggested that a com-
mittee be appointed to consider the
street repairs, the Mayor said that
this could be done only by the coun-
cil, and it was work for the 1924 coun-
cil, whoever ,that might be,•

BARN BURNED.
Barn tires have been very flumes055
this season. On Thursday afternoon
last the fine barn on Mr. Thomas
Sproat's farm, rented by his nephew,
William William Sproat, was burned to the
ground. It appears that at supper
time a load of grain had been drawn
in and the moil went to, supper. A
young daughter, seeing a loose sheaf
lying on the platform, thought it
would snake a good 'fire and lit it. Not
being able to put it Dirt again, she be-
came frightened and called for as$ist-
aiice, but the flames were beyond
control. The barn was 72 by 50 feet
on a hank foundation. Tiie season's
crop of hay and grain, together with
all the implements, are a total loss.
All tate live stocic was got out except
a couple of pigs. While it is very
hardto' estimate tire' loss at present;
it will run between $3,000 to $4,000.
There was $2,000 insurance on the
contents and $1,700 on the building.
l'L•. Sproat will probably rebuild with-
in the near future, The farts is in
