Fietheegill. The Council 'received a bill from the Sick. Children's Hospital 'and also a legal letter in regard to same. The child in question was A,dmitted to the hospital on Oct. 28th, but the cetineil was not officially notified of same un- til late in January. The Council will further look into the account before making payment, The usual gist of accounts evere o,r- dered paid when properly certified to. Councillors Mitchell, Willis and; Smith took objection to an account being paid for putting down new side- walk and pulling up old one from the Queen's property on John Street to, Edward Street. Mayor Elliott ex- plained that the matter was promised last year to -save an injunction being issued against the town. The matter of thing out' •the steps at the corner' of the Queen's building was talked over by the entire council and filially The Canadian National Exhibition decided Imola', but the cont • inuing of dosed its gates Saturday after sur - not discussed in the presence of these the sidewalk to Edward Street was passing all previous records in at - three councillors. The work is an im- provement to the street, however. The Mayor and treasurer invested the sum of $2000'of the town's money which would not be put in use for another year, in a first mortgage on farm property. This met with the ap- proVal of the entire council. The farm in question recently changed hands for the sum of $5200. The treasurer found a nest egg of $129.13, being a balance for patriotic purposes put in the bank some years ago. The Council agreed that it shoulchbe put in the general account for the present and on the suggestion of Councillor -Greet- it was decided to retain it for the purpose of buying grass seed and flowers to plant around the new soldiers' monument in the spring. Obuncillor Mitchell reported that the fence at the cemetery had been repaired and grass and weeds cut. The cemetery is now in pretty good shape. Councillor Smith brought up the matter of wiring the hall, and the 'chairman of the property committee, promised to see the electricians, at once in the matter and get the best possible. price: He also brought up' the matter of the erecting of signs of welcome coming into the town on all main roads. This matter was or- dered to be done some time ago, but owing to Councillor Haney's father's sickness he ..evas excused. The pro- perty Committee has completed very little thus far this year, but expects to get well under way at once.
