October Meeting of Wingham. Town
Council --New Nightwatchman
Appointed --Ladies Ask for
Grant for Muskoka
Free Hospital.
The council chamber on Monday even-
ing was graoed by the presence of
deputation of ladies, composed of Mrs.
A. Ross, Miss K. M. Fisher, Mrs, Win.
Corbould, Mrs, A. E. Smith, Mrs. (Dr )
Gundy and Mrs. Wm.. Fessaut, who
interviewed the town fathers, asking
for a grant for the purpose of endowing
a cot in the Muskoka Free Hospital for
Consumptives. The amount required
annually for this purpose would be $300,
and the ladies at first thought the coun-
cil might grant this amount. Cases
were cited where other towns and cities
had endowed cots in this institution, and
Wingham should not be behind in this
respect. Mayor Vaustone and the
councillors expressed themselves as in
hearty sympathy with the noble work of
this institution, but the Mayor explaiued
that the amount askedfor was rather
too large for the town to undertake
at present, and suggested that the ladies
make an effort and see what amount
they could raise by private subscription
any bring the matter before the council
next Monday evening. Then they would
be in a position to decide whether the
council could undertake to grant the
balance of the amount required. The
ladies acquiesed in this, and the deputa-
tion withdrew.

The
Mr. Luther A. Ball appeared before
the council in reference to putting a
gate - at the north-east corner of the
cemetery, which would be a great con-
venience, and also suggested that the
caretaker be supplied with an appliance
of some sort to keep earth from getting
onto the close adjoining plots when
digging a grave. The Executive Com-
mit tee was given power to act in this
matter.
Mr. W. J. Mallagh, who for some
tune past has been the very efficient
weighmaster at the townscales,tendered
his resignation, which was accepted, on
motion of Coatis. T. Bell and Millikin.
In view of the necessity of the appoint-
ment of a new weighmaster, the Mayor
suggested that the chief be relieved of
the duties of nightwatchman and be ap-i
pointed to attend to the weigh scales.
The present salary of the weighmaster
is $192 a year, and this would go a long
way towards paying a nightwatchman.
The councillors concurred in this, and
on motion of Couns. D. Bell and Greer,
it was resolved that Chief Vannorman be
relieved of the duties of nightwatchman
and that he be appointed weighmaster,
and that bis duties be defined by the
Executive Committee.
Corns. Millikin and T. Bell moved,
that Wm, Guest be appointed, night-
watchman at a salary of $2.25 a year, bis
duties to be defined by the Executive
Commi ttee.—Carried.
