Ellis, 'teacher.* Council Meeting. -= The regular' monthly meeting of the. village coun- cil was lfeld in the council chamber on Tuesday evening, all .the members being present. The reeve occupied the chair. • The minutes of the last meet- ing were read and adopted on motion of Campbell and 'Higgins, Mrs. Bute lard appeared before the council and asked for rebate of $8.72,, that :she paid on the Queen street dram. It seenis that two years ago some of the ratepayers on Queen street asked permission from the council to dig a drain on the north sided of Queen street, the council to amply the tile and the ratepayers to do the work,. which was agreed to. Some of the ratepayers helped dig the dram 'thei- selves,, others ,paid in their share tnd Mrs. Bullard paid in $8.72 under pro- test that "tote drain was doing her no good whatever, and •that she could not drain into it, and has been threatening to take action against the town for d'ama'ges. 'Strictly -speak- ing, it was up to, the ratepayers of Queen street to pay back this money to Mrs. 'Bullard; but. as -it .would open the .whole question again, it was de- cided that it would be better for the council to make the rebate. Mr. Col- in Hudson, the assessor • of the vil- lage, returned the assessment 'roll, which was accepted by the council and the assessor ordered to be. paid, It teas moved' by Robert Higgins, sec- onded by Chris. Campbell, , that a Court of Revision be held on Tuesday evening, May 25th, at eight o'clock, to 'hearany appeals against the as- sessment roll. Mrr McLaren asked permission to erect a gas pump at the front of his store on Main street. Per- mission 'vas:granted, the -work to be done under the supervision (of Camp- bell and Higgins. The Council de- cided to make a tour of •the streets on Thursday afternoon to see whar'i• was to be done during etheeesurismer months. A communication was read from the Clerk of Colborne township, caking the council. , to .petition t e Government to raise the gasoline tax for highway purposes to six cents a gallon, instead of .three, and- to lower the license fee 30 per cent. Some one seems to be boosting this movement through the province, h rovince but the coun- cil decided to take no action. The total ,assessment for the village for 1926 is $419,683; t'he population 786, or 17 less than last year,. and •there are 28 dogs in the village. Before the meeting closed Mr, 'Higgins brought up the matter of better fire protection for 'the village, claiming thtik a vil- lage like 'Heneall with, over half a million dollars' worth of property, was at the mercy of every fire, and especial)' on the black streets where there is no water. In case of a fire here, there is no wday to protect the village. The owner loses his build- ing and 'the chances are he would not rebuild. The town also loses its revenue in the 'way of ttaxation. The village of Hensel] h'as made itself re- sponsible for a large sum of money, which it has spent in the way of pub- lic improvements, and everything should be done to protect the prop- erty of the village. Mr. Higgins was in favor of a chemical engine as the most economical way of protecting the village, and moved, esconded by Robert McArthur, that a committee be appointed, composed. of 'Reeve Geiger, Councillor Priest , and„ Clerk Murdock to take up the matter of bet- ter fire protection for the village.and report to the council at the June', meeting. A suitable engine can be purchased and the money borrowed and spread over a term of five years, and it would never be noticed in our tax rate. A number of accounts were ordered paid. The meeting finally adjourned to meet again on May 25th, es the Court of Revision. Mr. Lee Hedden left Tuesday even- ing for St. Catharines where he will wvork .for a short time.

Presently 'smoke began to appear, and the Reeve noticed the fire, Mr. Geiger went to put the fire out with the same energy that he puts into a municipal election in January, and succeeded, apparent- ly in putting it out. But as our friend rfrom-Hay'was going across to the New Commercial sheds to get his horse, it avas noticed that he was still smoking away, making about as much smoke as the C. N. R. engines coming up the railway track, and try- ing to keep face to face with all the ladies .he met. The many -friends of . Mrs. Alex, Sparks will be sorry to 'hear that she had a stroke last week. At time of writing, she is somewhat improved. Mrs. Thos. Sherritt, Sr.,,suffered a severe stroke on Sunday last.

The roof and upper story •of the dwelling were totally destroyed, as was part of the lower floor. The carrying sof most of the furniture from the burning 'house .prevented a greeter loss, The blaze, which started from an overheated chimney, was un- noticed by occupants of the hotise, who were. eating :dinner. A passerby, however, discovered it and etotified members of the 'family. A call .for aid was sent to, the 'London fire depart- ment at 1.30 p.m and ,a'pumper from No. 2 company responded, When fire- men arrived . the roof was a mass of flames. ,A line of 'hose was .hayed, however, and after about two hours' Work the blaze was ,brought under control Firemen returned to the city shortly after 5 p.m." .
