A petition which bore no signatures but began thus : " We the undersign- ed 'macs of the town of Clinton," was presented to the town eouncil on Monday eiening assing that steps be taken to prohibit the " filthy and offensive habit of spitting upon and otherwise disfiguring our sidewalks, thereby ceasing great inconvenience and even danger to the whole com- niunity." The fathers could not say nay to such a petition and the clerk was accordingly instructed to prepare a bylaw stating what. must not be done and the penalties for its viola- tion. It is expected, of course, that when such a bylaw is adopted it will be enforced and not become just so much useless timber. Mr. A. Wilken, who occupies as a shoe shop one of the apartments in the town hall, asked for a rebate in rent owing to the inconvenience he had been put to by the council's delay in repairing the premises. There being no doubt but that Mr. Wilken had suffered some loss, he was given a re- duction of two months' rent. The council instructed the Chief to buy forty cords of wood for use in the town hall and for sweet charity's sake. The following communication was received from the Clinton Knitting Company and it Was supplemented by a statement by Mr. W. P. Spaulding, a member of the firm, who was pres- ent. To the Mayor and Council of Clinton: The undersigned eon -many has been formed for the purpose of the manu- facture of hosiery in the town of Clin- ton and an arrangement has been a- bout completed for the purchase of the creamery building and fixtures, situated on the town property known as the Market Square, south of the Buffalo and Goderich railway, from Mr. John E. McGregor, provided sat- isfactory terms can be made with the corporation of Clinton. It is proposed to install machinery and plant at once and have the fac- tory in running order in a short time. We are putting in about TO machines besides other necessary machinery at an outlay of about $3000 and there will he employed at least to hands and the firm would undertaketo carry n the Raid business for at least five years. id------------------ e the 0004 000,00000 •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••+••••••• . _ . .
