Oomert and. Debate.—A series of
entertainments • under Tthe .auspleies
of the ;Holy Name Sodiety of St.
James' church, Seaforth, have been
held during ;the winter in the separ-
• ate sohlool hall, Last Wednesdiss ev-
ening an entertainment, eonsist-
ing of a ;concert and debate, was
held, which was much appreeiated.
In the,00ncert, lYfiss Maggie Mc-
Quoid, Miss Ella Ryan'Miss Stella
Purcell and lir. Peter Lennon sang
solos, erliely were encored. For en
eacore Miss Ryan sang a ballad “Tit
; for Tat," which was highty appree.
iated. Several instrumental -trios
• were rendered by Mr. ehd Mrs. 3. V.
Daly a•Ad liess Dora Daly, 'Which
were loudly applauded. Miss Mag-
gie Daly acted as accompanist, A
'humorous reading, "A euehre par-
ty," was given by Miss Luella
-Burke. The subject of the 'debate
wale Resolved that mao has done
more than woman for the benefit of
the .hum'ari -mice." The affirmative
was taken by Messrs. James Purcell,
Sern.es McQuaid, John Parcell, John
O'Keefe and Miss josie Lane; the
negative by ;Meiners. Jantes *Munroe,
John 'Broderick, Jon E. Daly and

wae given.
The; Bayfield Bridge Ababitents.—
County Councillors Miller and, Can-
ttelon .and Oou.nty Clerk Lane were
in town. an Friday c-onsulting with
Mr.• F. Gutteridge about the dis-
abled pier of the Bayfield bridge.
Pt -seems that .one of the large con -
orate piers ereoted last summer or
this bridge at Bayfield, is split and
useless _and the county ectlinefl 00
thie accemmt, is kicking about pay-
ing 'the. contractor ;the full pricel
tor 'his .00ntra6t. Mr. Gutteridge,
the contractor, on his side says the
epecifications • required that he
ehiould secure a foundation for the
pier, satisfactory to the county -en-
gineer. This he did and both the
cenisty engoreer and the local, in-
spector expressed 'themselves aa sat-
isfied with the foundation and au,-
thiorized him to proceed! with the
eredtion of the pier, which be did.
The council later od secured the ser-
vices of an expert, the engineer of
'the C. P. R., bo inspect ;the work.
This expert reported to- the toad
ell that the material and workmen-
-Ship ;on the pier is all that toould
desired. and tbiat the defect is due
entirely to ;the leek of a proper
ilounda.tion. Now if this is the case,
the contractor is clearly freed from
, responsibility, • both legally and
moreally.' The ;Oeunty council, how-
ever, say that the oontractor and e
.elommittee of the coUnei.1 agreed
;that a reduCtion -of $500 on the
peke of the pier should 'be made
and they are mow endeavoring to
hiold the 'oontractor to this Agree-
ment. But it fie admitted on both
sides that ;this agreement was with-
out prejudice lied was not binding
On either party and tliat, moreove4
since this agreement was made thfi
council sent their expert to examine
the work and the contractor claims
that had the report or this inspec-
tor been untavora.ble Ito him the
eounoil would not have observed the
agreement and 'consequently, that he
'is e.bselved from it as it ie a poor
Agreement that will net hold 'both
'sides to it. So far as we cat 'judge
•it would seem that the oceuncil have
not mile% firm ground to atand on.
If their engineer made a mistake
in, judgement, in regard to the fotin-
dation, as any engineer might do,
the council and not' the contractor,
lave a right to bear the losses en-
tailed through that milstake. The
pier, it -seems, is useless and • will
have to the 'torn down and. recon-
structed. 0—
