which should be of more than ;ordin-
ary'interest in,.Win ha.nr; Some` time
ago The Advance brought up the mat-
ter of fixing up, the river• and clearing
out the stumps. The debate on :Mon-
day evening was the outcome, it was
Rtrsolved that it is in the best interests
of the Town of Wingham to remove!
the stumps from, and otherwise im-
prove that part of the river Maitland,
