Beckwirth petitioned the Council to have the light at the corner of the Baptist church on Edward St. moved across the road so that it will show .light further down the street. The council promised that'the light would be moved as soon as the electrician could fend time, A communication was read from the fuel administrator asking that the council ap- point a, local fuel commission at once, be- cause that owing to the scarcity of fuel it was absolutely necessary to have a census of fuel on hand in town. Mr, Thos Fells was appointed to this position. Messrs Drummond and Son asked for a rebate of a portion of their business tax as they had not been in business the entire year. They will only be :charged in ,pro- portion to the time they have been in business. The Board of Commence of Canada wrote from Ottawaasking the Council to appoint a correspondent at Wingham to !, keep in touc1 with them in their efforts to hear claims against any unlawful combines, accessive profits or hoarding of foodstuffs. Chief Allen was appointed as local officer to attend to any such complaints. •Mr. J, A. Morton •appeared before the Council in the interest of Howson & Howson who claim that the water -in the dam is often too high for them to run their mill, The water is often three or four inches higher than the mark called for in their agreement with the town and they have laid several complaints but ap- parently the electric light employees could not keep it to the proper level Mr. Morton shewed the Council that it was impossible for them to work the mill to advantage with this back water and told the Council that something would have to be done, . • Mr, Brooks and Mr. Radford explained that they had always tried to keep the water at the proper mark. Councillor Fells and Reeve Isbister thought that probably the trouble was at the new G T. R. Bridge as the water was now forced to go through a smaller space than before thenew abutment was built. The matter took up considerable time in discussion and the council promised to try to find some way tp remedy it.. Moved by Reeve Isbister and Council- lor Mitchell that the matter of backwater interfering with Howson & Howson be referredtothe Electric Light Committee to go into the matter at once.—Carried. The report of the Electric:. Light Com- mittee `showed that 100 tonsof coal was on hand at the power house and another car was ordered. The roof was blown off the wheel house on Saturday night. Re- pairs have been made to the bridge over the dam. Reeve Isbister, chairman of the street committee stated that the work on the streets for the year was completed and be expected to get $633 from the county arid 40 per cent from the government for work done oa the road in Lower Wingham con- necting Victoria street to the county de- viation road. The culvert at the foot of Scott St. was completed but the drain dug by contractor McLear} to let the water away was not finished, the reeve thought it best to fill it in while Mr, Mc- Lean was strongly of the opinion that a ti:e drain should be placed there. Coun- cillor Elliott asked whether it was the town's place or the contractor's place to digthisdrain. e . Mr. McLean said that ran al- though he had not yet presented an ac count for it that it was the t'own's place to do it as hisagreement did not require him to. Councillors ctMitchell and Elliott un U I ort were of the opinion that it was the con- tractor's place to leave the sewer in such a way that the Superintendent could make connections without difficulty. Councillor Fells, chairman of the pro- perty committee stated that he had to call on the firemen to assist him when the Saturday night storm blew in the wind- ows in the opera house' and he praised them very highly for the assistance which they so cheerfully rendered, also the goodwork of Chief Allen and assist- ant Clerk Williams, Owing to the cost of glass and the scarcity of panes as large as the ones broken, Mr. Rintoul suggest- ed that arch windows with srnailer panes replace the ones blown out. Mr. Fells also reported that owing to Mr. Miller leav- ing the restaurant he needed another fireman's phone to put in his home Moved by Coun. Elliott and Reeve Is- bister that this council heartily 'thank Fire Chief Crandell, Chief Allen and the firemen for the good work done in board- ing up windows in the 'town hall, during the storm on Saturday nightand that the property Committee be empowered to ar- range for a suitable "At Home" for the members of the brigade.—Carried. Bylaw 81941910, a by-law to provide for the eleetion of municipal councillors and members of the Public School Board for 1920, was tend three times and adopted.

The electric lights were soon put out. About 7.30 the wind blew at a speed of over 60 miles per hour and the rain blew ahead of it in sheets that penetrated buildings that, were supposed to be waterproof. Half of the roof of the Union factory was lifted high in the air landing on the corner of the new skating rink is said to have given it a start that knocked it loose to the mercy of the winds and it fell a mass of ruins. The derbis from the two buildings blocked Victoria St. and Diagonal Road and it is a miracle that no person was caught on the sidewalks and pinned under the ruins. The metallic sheeting from the roof of the rink, was scattered for blocks and a portion of the roof was blown through the roof of Dr. Fox's residence, The brick wall of the factory gave way and crumb- led to the ground leaving the ceiling of the bottom story as a roof and the bench- es and machines exposed to view•*-17uild- ing up the factory will be commenced at once. The contract has been let to Mr. W. H, Rintoul and is to be commenced imriedi tel . The rink was nearing g completion and the work of weeks, not saying anything about the cost of mater- ial is a severe loss to Mr. Wardsman. The Agricultural Society's big building was levelled to the ground, a total wreck as was also the cattle sheds A portion of the roof was blown off the Wingham Salt Block. The roof was blown off the engine house at the G. T. R. and a portion of glass blown in at the Western Foundry., A chimney was blown off the Gurney building landing on the roof of the Mor- ton block smashing the roof and coming through the ceiling into the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. R. Sowler. A piece of theplaster went into the apron pocket of their neice who was standing near the stove, Fortunately no person was injur- ed. "i. Trees were uprooted, and broken) off, windows were blown in and smashed and electric light, telephone and telegraph wires suffered. In reporting the damage done in sur- rounding country we scarcely; know where to start, and doubtless if the wires were in working order we could give our read- ers an account of a great deal more dam- age. ' Mr. V R. Van Norman's barn at his farm on the 9th con. of East Wawanosh was blown down. The roof was blown off Mr, Jno Arm- our's . barn, Bluevale road, Mr, Thos. Henderson's barn, Bluevale road, Mr, John . Gillespie's barn at Whitechurch, Mr. Wm, Robinson's barn on the lst line of Morris Mr. Jos. Churchili's barn at Bluevale. A portion of the roof was blown off Mr. H, T. Perdite's house and barn• Mr. John Hunter's barn, 2nd line of Morris, was badly damaged as was also Mr. Jack Coultes' barn The front wall of the Junction School was blown in and the children enjoyed a short holiday. It is reported that the disturbance was first noticed in the Lower Mississippi Valley on Friday night. and was caused by the existence of an area of low pressure there, It was not until late Friday night that it showed signs of gathering strength, but its development was rapid, and on Saturday commenced to move in a north- westerly . direction, gathering strength on the way. It crossed over Lake Michigan and Georgian Bay, with the centre oft e storm passing in the vicinity k Y of the Soo. At Lucknow, the Kinloss Presbyterian Church was a heavy loser inthe gale on Saturday night. The tower was blown down and the charch shed unroofed. The big smoke stack of the furniture factory was blown down. A Chimney caught fire during the storm but prompt work by the firemen checked the blaze. The plate glass front of the Wm. Davidson store was blown in and another at the home of Mr. Cecil Allin on Main Street The manse had the sky -light broken, and the Masonic Hall suffered heavily. At Kincardine a few barns were unroof- ed, chimneys fences, trees etc blown down A report was circulated in Wingbam on Sunday that Goderich had suffered very heavily, but as far as we can ascertain Wingham is the heaviest looser. The Goderich Fair buildings were blown down and the roof blown off the boiler room of the Goderich Mercantile Company factory. At the harbor the only damage was that the C. P. R. coalshed roof and the roof on Lynn's boathouse were blown off. Wm Case 2nd Con, of Culross, had his barn blown ever. A great many trees were uprooted and windmills blown down. No. 5—A.
