WILL 15 • SOLE AGENT FOR THE • • FOR LADIES - FOUNDRY FOR WINOUAin (Continued from page 1) leaving a overdraft of $341,62; but this department has on hared coal amounting to $2,250, On motion of Councillors Fells and Willis the report was referred to the fin- ance committee with instructions to have the required numbers of copies printed. Applications for assessor were received from A. M. Fralick and T. J. McLean;.. The salary is $150 00 with.88,00 for post- age. Moved by Councillors Willis and Fells that T. J. McLean be appointed to assessor for 1919: -Carried. Moved by Councillors Mitchell and Fell% that all coal sold in town be weighed on the market scales and that a ticket be handed to the purchaser with the amount of the coal delivered at that time hind that all wood sold be brought tothe market square for measurement --Lost. Moved in amendment by Councillors Willis and Angus that Messrs Isbister, Fells and Angus be appointed a commit- tee to investigate the matter of weighing all coal on the town reales and to report and bring in recommendation at the next meeting. --Carried. Councillor Mitchell ' speaking for his motion stated that people were at present paying for wood only 9, 10 and 12 inches in length and he thought some steps should be taken to protect the consumer, He said "I don't believe that coal baskets weigh 100 lbs." The discussion contin- ued for some minutes, several of the coun- cillors stating that they had never hear4 any complaint about the way coal was sold. Mr. J. A. McLean, who was pres- ent said it was a great inconvenience to drive to the town scales with some coal but whenever his team had to pass that way he used the town scales although his own were just as good and reliable. He explained that while people were using soft coal in several neighboring towns:the dealers in Wingham had been able to sup- ply hard coal to,, their customers. He would be glad to have Chief Allen stop his wagons any time and take off coal and weigh it. Mr. Mitchell said coal was higher here that in most places, but Mr. McLean denied that and quoted the prices charged in different places near here and many were considerably higher. Reeve Isbister was of the opinion that the coal service in Wingham was second to none in this district and was not aware of any complaints. No complaints had be received by the fuel controller, George Allen. Councillor Elliott thought that the councill • might as well ask to have cement, meat, groceries or paper weighed on the town scales. Mayor Gurney said he thought the purchaser had a perfect right to have everything weighed that he bought and that coal was something that could not easily be lifted, after delivery to weigh. He was in favour of the wood question being looked into also. Moved by Councillors Mitchell and Angus that a by-law be prepared placing the taxes on all mate dogs at $5. and on female dogs at $10. -Lost. Reeve Isbister gave a brief outline of the county council proceedings. He laid special stress on the highway rate of 8703.60 which was collected from Wing - ham in 1918 He had been the means of a motion passing at the council whereby a bylaw will be sent to the Government asking for 90 per scent of this money be- ing given back to towns for use on roads connecting . designated county, roads. If he could secure this money he would use it on the road from the Western boundary by the power house and along Victoria Street to Josephine street and turning to the right connecting it to the designated road at.the bridges in the prairie. This road especially along Victoria street was in bad need of attention and we are sure Mr. Isbister will receive the thanks of all who have to draw loads over this part of the road. After the council meeting Reeve Isbis- ter invited the councillors to partake of oysters at Miller's restaurant. TEE W'JNWLAM A.DV.A.

Attridge, Rapid City, Olive Carling Chapman, eldest sur- viving daughter of Mrs. Attridge. was united in marriage to Howard Stanley Henry of Rosebank, Man. . Owing to the recent double bereave- ment in the family the wedding was very quiet, only the immediate relatives being present at the ceremony which was per- formed by Rev. D. Johnstone of Rapid City. The bride looked charming in a dress of white satin-de-chene and wore the bridegroom's gift, a gold wrist watch. The young couple were unattended. At the conclusion of the ceremony a dainty fowl supper was served, Mr. and Mrs. Henry left on Friday for their home at Rosebank, the bride travelling in 'a suit of black silk poplin and black velvet hat.
