Fralick Re -appointed Collector of,Taxes The regular meeting of the Wind- hain town council was held on Mon- day evening. All the couacil were present, viz., Mayor Elliott, Reeve, Tipling, Councillors W. J. Greer, A. E. Lloyd, $, Bennett, Arthur Fother- gill, Herb Thompson and Will Haney. The clerk read a letter from Hoe. W. E. Raney, replying to his request for a magistrate to be appointed in Wingham, in which he stated that he purposed to look into the matter of the appointment in the near future, Mr. Wilkinson of East Wawatosh appeared again, asking the council whether or not they intended to give him any recompense for the' damage received when his horse and buggy went over the embankment into the pond about 150 feet from the prairie bridge. After some disscussion the mayor explained that the street com- mittee's report that no action be taken in the matter would stand. Two applications were received for the position of collector of taxes, one from Mr. Wm. Gannett and the other from Mr. Fralick. The council con- sidered that Mr. Frail& had given such good service in the past, that they had best re-engage him. It was thought that if taxes were collected twice a year, about June and Noyern- ber it might come. easier on the rate- payers. This would of course mean that assessing- would have to be done in the nail. Mr.l'+ralick will be collect- or this year at a salary of $too, and an allowance of $11 for postage, and a by-law confirming his appointment was passed after being duly read. A convention of Fire Chiefs -will be held in Chatham next week and Mr. John Crandell was granted' the privilege of attending, the town to pay his expenses. - Mayor Elliott brought up the mat- ter of appointing a fuel controller for Wingham. The coal situation is be- ginning" to cause alarm, as many have no coal in their bins and there seems to be no sign of getting any at pres- ent. On motion of Reeve Tipling and Councillor Bennett, Chief Allen was appointed Fuel Controller. The following accounts being certi- fied correct were recomxnended for payment. j. A.
