The members of the council thought this would be a good move, and which is being adopted in other places, to dp away with the elections in holiday time. By-law No. 3 was also referred to the next meeting and which is finding favor in a great many places, that is to col lect the taxes twice a year instead of once, anc|, to give a discount of 5 per cent, on the first half collected. We believe this would be quite a help to the average ratepayer, not having •to pay the full amount at once, and especially, as at present, at a time of the year when there is a greater demand on the purse oif the average ratepayer, and by paying half in the month of June when money and work is more plentiful. The Reeve suggested the work of the Council be divided into committees, and asked for a fire and light committee, and a street committee be formed said committees to be formed of two members of the Council and the Reeye. The Reeve stated that he wasn’t very well satisfied with the way the business of the town was conducted, teams being put on haul ing .gravel, and men being put to work without any check on their time, and theii; bills are put in and paid. He suggested that the differ ent committees keep a Check on the different accounts and O. K. them before presenting them to the coun cil. , Councillors Petty and Sangster were appointed to be fire and light committee, and councillors Priest and Cameron to the street commis sion, the reeve to be a member of each committee. Mr. Geo. Follick was appointed a member of the Lib rary Board for another term, and Rev. Mr. Jones was appointed to fill out the-term of the Rev. Mr.-Naylor on the Library Board. Before the meeting adjourned the reeve brought up -the xnatter of the’ light in front of the residence of Miss J, Bell on King St: east, he explained to' the council the reason the light was placed there, and that Miss Bell had agreed to pay for it. He stated that is was setting a bad precedent, and especially on our' back streets where anyone could-demand a light, if they, would pay for it, and in case -the property was sold the next own er might possibly refuse to pay for it, so he thought it would be better for the council to keep full control of the lighting bystem on the streets as the light 'in front of Miss Belt’s was placed there in the first layout of the lighting system of the town, and was afterward^ moved, and as the ditches are somewhat dangerous there the Reeve asked the council to put that light on the town lighting system, and relieve Miss Bell of any further liability. The council ad journed to meet again on Monday, February 6th. Crediton Mr. Dau Truemnex1 is visiting rela tives in Dashwood. .
