Meeting Of TOwn Crouncil.
At Monday niglat's meeting of the
town council two assessors were ap-
pointed at a salary of fifty dollare each.
The pay will not maketheruperse-proud
and it is expected they will be able to
straighten out a number of tangles that
are said to exist on the assessors' roll.
The Mayor says the roll is in "a dia.
graceful condition." Meesra. IL
Stevens and T. Cottle, who have been
appointed, have both bad experience
and wiil have the support of the citi-
zens in general in carrying through
without fear or favor the work which
they have undertaken.
IMr. George Hoare, • who has for
months been talking up a monster
denionstretion for Coronation Day,
addressed the council in regard ,to the
matter and asked for the appointment
of a committee to co-operate with an
existing organization, Mr. Hoare
already has piens partly mapped out
for the biggest event of tbe kind ever
attempted in - this' county ' and his
enthusiasm idtalking theca up has set
.the ball moving. Dr. Shaw also spok8.

cold storage before the people. -
..:Councillor I% Maekerizte.Opeeed up a
discriesion by :suggesting , that the

believed there were men in Olinton
quite capa,ble of undertaking the wot k
and was- in •fevor of giving theta the
opportunity of doiug so. -

with his . namesake. Fifty deletes
