The regular monthly meeting' of the Wingharn Town' Council was held on Monday evening, and not for sot= tirrie has' there been such a large. attendance of ratepayers present. The Ma'or welcomed them and assured thein that he would be glad to have the ratepayers come out to fhe council meetingsdoften w Aapotugeti ose pres- ent were Ex -Reeve :Tipling, Ex -May- ors W. H. Gurney and Dr. A, J. Ir- win, also Messrs Dr. Fox, Dr. Red- mond, A Cosens, S. Bennett, T. J. McLean, J A. McLean, W. E. Scott and H. E. Isard. ,Several of these; -men addressed the Mayor and Coun- cil, asking for financial support to the Wingham Arena. Dr .Redmond was the first speaker. He explained the benefit to thee town a large well lighted and well ventil- ated rink is, if, the town desires to hold her boys and girls. The build- ing cost about $2.1,000, and there was still an indebtedness of $13ioo0. He felt it was a community enterprise, and as such the community should help carry the burden and not load down a few citizens with that burden., The doctor clinched his point by com- paring the value of the young people to furniture, stoves or fertilizer, which industries were all assisted in some. financial manner by the town coun- cil. Mr. Cosens explained that the past winter was about three weeks shorter than usual and on top of "thisthem was about two weeks of wonderfully good slating on .the river, and all .. ' helped to pull down the finances at the Arena. The sum of $1037 was: received by sale of season tickets and regular skating etc„ during' the past season. The expense of financing the hockey team was very heavy, and the gashes were not weld patronized. After hearing the different: gentle- men, the Mayor and Councillors dis- cussed the matter at some length and decided to"leav+e the shatter ' with the executive committee. They, in all probability will arrange for the pre- paration of a bylaw to present to the people to vote on the granting of $5,- 000 to the Arena. This committee will report back to the council at the next meeting. The matter of reviving the band was. also talked over and a committee com- posed of Councillors .Wilkinson, Han- na, Spotton and Haney, were asked to see what they could do by getting in. touch with different bandmasters with a view to their locating at Wingharn. Councillor Hanna felt the council should spend some money on beauti- fying the town park, but Mayor Fells, ,. explained that for this year and next, he would not favor spending any mon- ey for work they could get along- without. longwithout. Councillor Wilkinson was authorized to buy a pair of good rubber boots for the fire dept equipment. Reeve McKibbon gave a short ac- count of the proceedings of the coun- ty council with regard to the county assessment . He said he believed he could add very little to the account as published in the previous issue of The Wingharn Advance -Tines. The other business transacted was ordinary routine work., Died: in Hamilton The many friends of Mr. ;3.`11. Beerier for over 30 years C. P. R. Sta- tion Agent at Wingham, will regret to learn that he died in Hamilton an Monday evening.
