, -rhe -Ontario government is now
'sustained in power largely by the
coerced support of the license holders."
Now we do not believe that this state-
ment is true, and we challenge the Ad-
,. evoeate or any other Conservative pa-
per in Huron to show to the contrary.
Let them quote, if they can, any in-
stance where a hotel -keeper in Huron
has been "coerced" into supporting the
Mowat government. We took the

ere was any ground for the state-
ent so often made by the Conserve-
tiv*e-press. Here is the answer of one
hotel -keeper that was interviewed:—
"I am, as you know, a Conservative.
I've been in the hotel business in the
county of Huron for eleven years. In
all that time not the slightest pressure
op influence of any kind was ever
ight to bear upon me to induce me
port Mr Mowat. The Inspector,
nor any ene else, ever intimated that
it would be to my advantage to vote
Grit."
The name of this person can be given;
if necessary, and no one would ques-
•tion, his- authority. Let our- cotems

or cease using it.

The Mayor stated that the joint com-
mittee of the Park had had a meeting,
and found that there will yet have to
be considerable work done, to make a
good job. $30 of last year's appropria-
tion was still on hand, and he thought
it would yet require another hundred
dollats, and he would ask the council
to make an appropriation for that pur-
pose, which was done. '

The Street Committee recommended
the following work: -75 cords of gravel
to be placed on the roads; stone cross-
ing across from T. McKenzie's office;
new sidewalk from Lee's hotel -to
Yonng's bakery; on Frederiak street,
from Hanley's gate to Joseph street;
from Wheatley & Finch's shop to west
end of Commercial Hotel; several other
walks to be taken up and made over.
The Committee has expended this year
so far $241.75.
The Charity Committee reported
having expended during the month of
April the sum of $7.82, and recommend-
ed that some action be taken concern-
ing Miss White, as she is unable to
help herself.
FINANCE REPORT.
The Finance Committee recommend-
ed payment of the following accounts:
W. Dyment, lumber, $133.56; freight,
1111.60; J. Becker,work, $60.04; B.Webb,
graves for Mrs Knott and J. Ewings,
$4; J. C. Stevenson, coffin and hearse
for J. Ewings, $19; J.Wheatley, salary,
$108.75; J. Rider, $9; S. Pratt, $18.75;
W. Coats, $56.25; R. Welsh, $68.75; F.
Evans, work, $1.75; C. Long, work,
$1.50; J. H. Combe, medicine, $4; Har-
land Bros., $6.68; B. Webb, park. $2.50;
J. C. Stevenson, 30c.; J. Fair, 56c.; A.
M. Todd, printing, $15.25.
Reeve McMurchie strongly objected
to the town being called upon to pay
$17 for a coffin for a person buried by
the town; he did not object to a, reason-
able amount being expended, but he
did think that a cheaper article could
have been procured. Mr Searle said
that if he was not on the Charity Com-
mittee, he would move that in future
no more than $10 be expended for a
coffin for the burial of an indigent per-
son. Mr Plummer moved a resolution
to this effect, seconded by Dep. -Reeve
Kennedy, which was carried.
The Cemetery Committee reported
that it would be necessary to re -build
the front fence and make some im-
provements, which might call for the
expenditure of $100. Messrs Plummer
and McMurchie thought that Mr
Churchill should be asked to build up
his portion of the fence, and if he re-
fused to do so, the council to avail
themselves of the "Line Fence Act."
. Mr Kennedy inquired if it was the
intention to make Mrs Tutft's place a
stone foundation under the new 25 feet
that she purposed adding to her barn.
The clerk read the agreeinent entered
into with herewhereby she was to com-
ply with all bylaws in existence. This
would necessitate a stone foundation
under the entire structure—the old
part and the new also.
Mr Searle thought soniething should
be done towards the prevention of
cruelty to animals. The Mayor said
he would try any cases that were
brought before him.
The Court of Revision will meet on
the 26th inst. The Maccabees were re-
turned the sum of $5, hall rent, as pro-
ceeds of their entertainment were for
the benefit of the poor of the town.
Council then adjourned.

The annual meeting of the Clinton
Mechanics' Institute was held in the
reading room, on Monday evening last,

chair. Compared with other years the
attendance of Members was large. The
Treasurer's report was presented by
Mr J. H. Combe. The receipts, includ-
ing balance from previous year, for the
year ending 30th April last, were $493.-
36; disbursements, $472.58, leaving a
balance of $20.78. The receipts for
membership fees were about $90 being
more than has been received on that
account, for some years. The auditors
reported the Treasurer's books correct-
ly kept. .The report on the state of the'
library was presented by A. P. Gundry.
1911 volumes were reported to be on
the shelves; of these 140 were out of re-
pair, and 1771 volumes were in a good

is supplied with two daily papers, four
local weeklies, four illustrated papers,
sixteen magazines, three. periodicals
and two reviews. The Directors' re-
port was presented by the President,

Institute deserved from the citizens
more financial aid than it was receiv-
ing. The various reports, as present-
ed, were adopted.

past year was re-elected. In addition
a class of substitute teachers was form-
ed, consisting of Misses Irwin and Do-
herty, Messrs; Bronson, Newton,Gauley
and Shannon. Regular attendance at
the Normal Class was urged. The
pastor especially drew attention to the
fact that the above class was au excel-
lent help in the preparation cf the les-
son, and. the method to be used in its
nresentation. The pae3tor, Rev. J.
Walker Shilton, and wife,were present
for the last time in a meeting of this
nature, inasmuch as before another
year of work has passed they shall
have ceased their labors in this town.
To both, the Sabbath School is greatly
indebted, and It is hoped that in the
future the same success shall accom-
pany their efforts, wherever they may
chance to reside.

tie with willow bands the thousands of

Assisted by his sons and a large staff of
