Goodwin complaining of one of the old water tanks located close to his cottage. It has become a nuisance, said Mr. Goodwin in ef- fect, and as it is ' not required now. that the town hat; a wa erwmers sys- tem, I ask that you.fill it up. Council- lor Cantelon said Mr. Wm. Ford has a like complaint so the council de- cided ea fill up ail . such tanks as soon as possible. Me. Cooper, chairman of the water- works 'committee, reported twenty in- stalments of services this seasoo, meetly on Albert street. The .laceiptis so far have been $425. and it is estim- ated that fo:, 1911 they. will: amount to $1200. The pumps are being oper- ated on an average effour hove.; at a daily cost for, coal of fifty-five cents. A request was made that the coun- cil reconsider its action at a previ- ous maftting . in ordering a division of the corporation's :'hanking.business. In behalf of Molsons it was stated that for over thirty year.: it had. handled the townie finances' and dur- ing all that time without' a word. of complaint. Councillor Gibbings contended that the claim' of _Molsons which had given' the town such perfect service, for so many • years was worthy of consider- ation. Councillor Ford did not see any 'necessity for a -division. ' There could, not be any 'better accommoda- tion than that given by Molsons and it Was good policy iwleave well. enough alone. . ' . On a tie vote the council decided not to re-openthe matter. Councillor Cantelon ' reported the cemetery in fain condition. Hc re- commended the purchase of a lawn mower, to be' operated by Caretaker Crich and tine ' laying o thiety-six 'Councillor Cibbtngswh has for: •feet of six-inch tile. years advocated the use of the' Split Log D`tig upon the side streets, said he has not been able to get ' the street comm,ietee to. give ,it* a fair .trial though: it owns a ' Drag. Councillor - Gi•bbings told of a, re- cent Visit to a Michigan town of 4,000. inhabitants where three Drags' a-ri in use and wasinformed by flue street supervisor time in no othee way, could such good result+s be obtained: Councillor Cantelon said he ' hae. seam for him tell the great improve- ment made. in Haldimand county roads by the use M the Split Log Drag and thought edually good 're- sults Could be obtained on our back stroats in the way of levelling .then up and filling .the ruts. By all means give it a ' fair trial. . Mayor Tayl:or,on the other hand, contended `that. the Drag is not .'much good, not: worth its cost in fact. Iie • favors the st'reet grader which first of all tteould he used te, clean 'out the watercouaies. Councillor 'Cooper said that . in: most, towns which have a street, watei+:ng system, the volume of the work is governed by bylaw such ' as we should have in Clinton ani; he asked. that the Clerk be inst'ruct,edto prepare one.' It is understood that this is to be done and will he dealt with at the next meeting of the. council. ' A paragraph in the waterworks tie - port recommended the opening of a special bank account for waearwcrks. , In tripporting it Councillor 'Cooper+ ' said the business of the system :tag I now too big to be mixed upp, with the other accounts; it was large enough , to go alone and thei change would tend to simplicity and give the sys- tem credit' whert; credit is due and thus enable t'h'ose most concerned in its management to know where they are at► at any time. 11 Treasurer Macpherson argued to the contrary. He contended that when waterworks pass under >':ie manage- ment of ae commission there will of course be a separate bank aecotmt, such as the Public gc)iool, Collegi- ate ollegiat' and Public Library Boards have, but in tied itieantima the waterwotke eommitt'ae has no more need of a separate bank aeeount than has any other commit/2m of the Council. Councillce Gibliings insisted that the street committee furnish the coun- al iveith a statement in detail of the Work Imposed. "As it is now,,, sairi Mt. t Gibbings, "est councillors we are: hell' responsible for what done ,and yet in sotto cauls jobs are nitde�ei be - fort we know anything about' fief." • If you want your suit for May 24th Order Early WILLIS CHURCH.
