aIEETING OF TOWN COUNCIL.
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.
