MEETING OF TOWN k COUNCIL.
The regular monthly 'fleeting of
the town council Was held on Mon-
day evening with a small attendance
of the members. Mayor Hoover,
whe was laid up• for a week with
an attack of quinsy, had not suffi-
ciently rkovered to be able to . at-
tend. This is the first meeting he
.ha,s missed . since his inauguration.
Councillor Cottle was also on • the
sick list, while .Couneillor Wallis is
in the Northwest. In. the, abseuee sf
his worship, Councillor Wiltsie was
requested to preside and he pushed
the business through as expeditiously,
as seemed possthle. •• •
• Mr. H. Beattie presented his -bill
for law costs in the suit of I3iggart
vs. Clinton and stated that though.
the ease was decided hi favor of the
corporation, there did not seem
mach prospect of recovering the
eosts. The council coincided and or-
dered Mr., Beattie's bill to be paid.. •
By the way his .own portion of it is
only $19, the balance being barris-
ter's fees:
In speaking of the matter Counell-
tor. Wiltsie remarked : "I guess it's
allright and rjust as moderate a ch-
arge as lawyers generally_ make.'
.. Reeve Middleton of Goderich towna
ship intimated by letter that • :::he
work on the Maitland. hill is now
complete and that the balance of the
council's. • grant would be acceptabl.e.
It will, of course, be paid, but the
hoarh of- works* wants to think the
matter over. for- a few days. .
. Thistithe last year the council was
in- an economic mood and reduced -the
pay of the deputy returning offieers
to two dollars, with the . result that
twoof the appointees refused to act.'
,The remuneratien..has •been restored
to the old figure • and -the . following
appointed as • deputies. ; • •
St: Andrew's Ward, N. Robson. .
. St. James' Ward, T. A. Walker •
St. 'George's Ward; S. J. Andrews
St. John's. Ward, 0, lIelyar. •
The' nominations will take Place on
-Friday evening; December .23rd.
The running of. the, see* plOwi was •
discussed at •some length - and • the
utianinious opinion was that the phi-

seemedto increase in proportion, and
it was found that while the day
