CLINTON'S WEIGH SCALES.—Occas-
ionally sellers of stock find fault with
the weigh scales of every town and
Clinton is not an exception. No one
can take exception to legitimate com-
plaint. It is the privilege of every
firmer or other seller or buyer to legi-
timately satisfy themselves that pub-
lic scales and public servants are not,
at fault. A case transpired in Clinton
the other day which demonstrates that
our scales and weigh -masters are above
reproach.. A respected farmer, Mr.
E. Wise, sold six beef catttle to Mar -
"t quis and they were weighed at the sta-
g tion, making in all 7,440 lbs. Mr. Wise
rjnuts not satisfied, and Mr. Wheatley
Volunteered to pay the cost of having
the animals weighed on the uptown
scales and it was found there that they
were 15 lbs. less. The Clinton scales
...are positively correct and our' weigh -
nesters are above reproach. The
own is just as particular- and should
e -to give honest weight as sellers are
to receive it.

STREET REPORT.
A number of culveets and water
tables have been cleaned nut and
several new ones put in, old -walks
repaired and new ones laid during
May, and considerable work r•ecoul
mended for St, George's and St. An-
drew's Wards during the present
month.
Deputy -Reeve Cantelon asked for
estimate of new work recommended by
Street Committee, which caused con-
siderable discussion.
Conn. Gilroy referred to the lasting
nature of stone crossings and recorn-
inendu'd similar work for sidewalks, on
front streets, covered with a suitable
material to make a serviceable walk.
He thought committee should bring
in a proper estimate of each piece of
new work for the sanction of the Coun-
cil.
Councillor Searle thought Gilroy
wrong and found fault with •the round-
ness of the stone used in the crossings.
ouncilIor McKenzie thought Coun.
Gilroy nut of place in asking for esti-
mate, as he had not given an estimate
when reporting on street watering at a
previous meeting.
Conn. Gilroy claimed that he did
bring in an estimate.
Conn. Bruce said we should try a
small amount of side -walk recommend-
ed by Coun. Gilroy.
The Mayor was of opinion that a
mixture of gravel and cinder would
make a good sidewalk and cited a
case.
Ex-Coun. Plummer was asked his
opinion and said he thought it would
make a good walk.
Searle said the ladies would object
to it.
The Mayor said we should not at-
tempt to please the ladies.
Deputy-IZeeve Cantelon said it would
he a great mistake to put down said
siiewalk, and thought if an experi-
ment, was tried it should be Grano-
Lithic at once.
Gilroy thought that the walk he
advocated would stand frost as well as
the G. -L. and it could be laid and not
cost more than $1.00 per yard, while
G. -L. would cost $1.00.
The matter was allowed to drop.
