empty-handed and alone, he procured a

the laboring • mon employed in clearing
away the debris of themarket building were
getting 75 •cents a day, - and even at this
low figure, a number more than could be
employed offered their services. This is
certainly a, low rate of remuneration, but
it is a great deal better than nothing at all;
Hum ScuooL.--We are pleased to learn
that the attendance at the. Clinton • High
School is exceptionally large, there being
over one hundredscholars now attending
there. The very high standing of this
school is the cause of such a number avail-

fifty.

On Monday last a termer from Morris, had

was consequently turning quite dark, in

to take it back home. .Had it been brought

riper.
Messrs, 'Chidley and Corbett consenting
to the withdrawal of the inotion, the
amendment was unanimously carried,

on Friday evening.
Coun: Chidley suggested that it would

• Coun. Corbett thought' the building com-.

•
' A TEST MOTION •
-Moved by • Ccu 'Cisrbe'it, sec: by Ccun.
Chidley, that the building committee, in
considering any plans for the the erection
of the market :building, do not take into
consideration any plan the erection of
which .would cost more' than $6,000, ex
clusiin of the material on hand.
•. Coun. Turnbull believed it would be
wrongto pase the motion at..tlre present
time, as he could not .support it, and.to
call for the yeas and nays on it would place
him and several" others at the board in a
false position ; he was in favor of ectnom
as well as any of them, but.if plaits were
.submitted to. the 'Council at, say'. $6,100,
which might be much superior to others at
a Iess figure, they could not entertain thein
after the passing of that•motion.
Coun. Worthington thought that esti.
mates or something of'that .nature should
be procured before the 'council was asked
to commit itself f he was in favor ,.of'being
ag economical as possible.
Coun. Corbett would positively build to
suit the money,. and thought it could be
done. At _the nomination: he stood pledg-
ed to- do so, 'and believed there was anfir-
;oient intelligence at the board in draw-irn
Tans and build so
as to make'

beyond the money on:)hand. He would
not appeal to the people for another;.eent •-
-.-•-Gann=Chidley would -Ea spoil a build-
ing for $100 or even. $500; believed. the
majority of the people were opposed to go-
ing any further into •debt, but if tho cost
went a little over $6,000, it could be raised
;by direct tax. • ,
Coun. Muir was. not in favor of going
beyond the present. means ,•' if plans Were
got that estimated for more, he would be
in favor. of submitting it to the people.
Coun. Chidley said thatsubmitting it to
the people was expensive, as it would cost
from $40 to $60 to do this; the, councillors
should be able to settle the matter.
'Ccun; Turnbull.wan not opposed to being
as economical as possible, but did root see:.
hie way clear. to•snpportirtha-motion' as
it• read.
Coun. Stevenson favored economy, but
thought they should not be boilnd to. any.
plan until they knew'what they were doing.
It might require more money to bo,,ex-
pended in order to' bring in a revenue, and
if this were required, he would be in favor
of a public meeting being called. '
Coun. Moore thought there should be
something to give the council' an idea of
what they were going tohave,,before coin -
miffing them to the motion ; was' the build-
ing to be with or -without stores; would be
in . favor of having small :stores in ....the
building,
Coun. Twitchell did not think it right
for the town to go into a, speculation in
the Way -of stores.• .
Coun„ Corbett said they did, not intend
to do without stores. •
Coun, Menzies fevered keeping•the ex-
penditure down
P , thought.tine, could put
up a' building suitable for town purposes
with this money, and have some to spare;
if there s f P .,
was any to spare would then use,tit
for stores ; would nut be in favor of going
to the people for more Money.
Coun, Worthington agreed with the idea
that no speculation should bo entered hate.
