The meeting of the Young People's League of the United 'Chereh was held on Monday evening, with the .presi- dent presiding. The meeting was op- ened by the singing of a hymn after which Mr. Sinclair led in prayer. The Scripture lesson was read responsive- ly. Thetopic was very ably taken .by Mrs. Chas. 'McDonald, An• instrum- ental by Miss Gladys Luker and a solo .by Mrs. 'Lee Hedden were we rendered, after which a social hour was spent, Council Meeting, — The regular monthly meeting of the council was. held an Monday evening with all the members present except Councillor Campbell, The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopte d. representative of the Globe Indemnity Co. was present and addressed the council on insuring the town against all accidents that the town would be liable for, offering to insure thetown against all accidents for $90 a year. This of course, would include such accidents as come from bad sidewalks, falling on the ice in winter time, the breaking of plate glass windows by stones thrown up by automobiles. The council are taking the matter into con- sideration. This policy would cover such cases as we had last year when on the school fair day a lady tripped and hurt her arm and the council paid half her doctor's bill. Mr. Geiger reported to the council that the com- mittee appointed at the last regular meeting to look into the matter of 'better fire protection, had not taken the matter up yet, as Mr. Geiger was busy and bad not been able to give it his attention but that the matter would be taken up immediately after he came back from county council, The clerk had figures ready from the Imperial Oil Co. giving the price of road oil 14;4c a gal. by the barrel, f.o.b. Hamilton, or 9c by the tank car, delivered at 'Hensall. The reeve was asked tot take the matter t p with County Engineer Patterson to see if the county world take over whatever was not used here, and also to see tf we could get the county oiling tank to put it pn with. A number of ac- counts were presented and ordered paid. Before tate meeting closed, Mr. Higgins asked the opinion of the council as to whether it would be ad- visable to prepare a bylaw to have alt places off business, on open nights, dosed at 11:30 during the summer months of June, July, August and September and the balance of the year at 11 o'clock so as to enable the clerks and business men of the village to be at home at 12 o'clock on Saturday night. Mr. Higgins claimed that he thought the move would be popular among the business men of the village, as there is no necessity for anyone leaving their buying until midnight on Saturday. Mr. Higgins, moved, seconded by Mr. James Priest, that the Clerk interview the merch- ants of the village. A number of towns around have bylaws to this effect, closing places of business at 10 o'clock on Saturday nights, but that would be a little early for Hen - salt during the summer. The meeting adjourned on motion of McArthur and Priest to meet again on the first Tuesday in July. Last week's report of the meeting of the Court of Revision when the 'Sangster and the Johnson appeals were being discussed, the assessment on the Sangster property was set on motion of Higgins and Campbell. The published •report said it was moved by m b e1 1 seconded byRobt, Mc- Arthur C Ca P Arthur that the assessment as made by the assessor be not changed. The motion was moved by Campbell and McArthur .that the assessment on the Johnson property this year be not changed. At the County Council this year a W:?a .>: n envy tint/lb-et of things will be taken pp, affecting the people of this village. The government•and county have talc ' l cit over.full .eti5tr geoft the centre 20 feet of our cement road and We expect quite a rebate will be given to the town on the, payments 'already made. There will be a new equalization of the county assessemnt wltic'h. May. affect us' somewhat. .This work will be done by three valuators appointed, by the county council at thio session. Their report will he submitted to the County Council in December, so it will not affect the tax rate for this Veer. An'o'ther thing is the paving of the Clinton -Got highway:' Huron county has no paved highway except for payed streets in towns and villages. The highway from the east will be finshed to Dublin this year,. and itis being suggested to finish the road from Dublin to Goderich this year, The cost is estimated at $20,000 a mile, Government paying 80 per cent and ,County -20 p.c. The county's share would be $45,000 ou the road from Clinton to ;Goderich and $100,- 000 if, the road was completed from Dublin to Goderich—a , big' bill to saddle on the county and only to serve a' small part of the. county's•popula- tion, The road to Goderichis in a splendid condition and we would suggest to the County Council that they pave the Hensall-Zurich ,road which carries a heavy traffic and is sometimes in terrible condition. The Hensall baseball grounds, after being graded and ptit in splendid con- dition for the baseball season were 'of- ficially opened. on Thursday evenin The Hensel] band led the parade from the Town Hall at 5 o'clock, fol- lowed by the village council and the Exeter and Hensall baseball teams.
