The town fathers met in the council chamber on Monday evening with all the members present and His Worship presiding, The minutee of the last regular and special meetings were read by the clerk and declated adopted. A communication was read from Will Caslick regarding his being as- sessed for a dog and business assess- ment when he had neither. He was alio ausessed too high for a vacant lot. His reason for not appealing at the proper Hine was that he had been in New Ontario attending to his duties as fire ranger—The matter was left over by the council, A petition was read from the barbers of the town •asking that tbe council pass a by-law to the effect that all shops be compelled to close from 8 o'clock in the afternoon until a o'clock in the forenoon of the following day except on days before statutory holi- days. Moved by Isbister and Patter- son that the petition of Thos. McDon- ald and others be recieved and that a by-law be prepared to meet the re- quirements of the case—carried. Geo, Moir learning that the town was generously paying baok dog taxes to many who asked for the cash, asked for a rebate on the assessment of a dog which he sold a couple of months after tbe assessor was around, Sever- al other citizens had appeals in against their dog taxes. Coen. Binkley thought that when the man had the dog when the assessor was around the town should not make any rebate. Reeve Mitchell said that the council made a mistake in starting refunding taxes, but when they had already re- funded to some Moir wee as much en. titled to it as anyone else. Moved by Patterson and Gurney that Geo. Moir get rebate on dog tax for nine months of the year—oarried. Moved by Isbis- ter and Patterson that A. Leggett be refunded dog tax—carried. The • ap• peals of Mrs. Roe and Rich Tennant were left over. H. E. Isard addressed the council regarding an acre of land adjoining Frank Hill's farm and which was as- sessed Inc 5500. In 1911 this laud was assessed for $250 but in 1915-10 it was maised to $500, He hadn't noticed the papers before the court of revision met --The matter was left over. A. Cosens and W. J. Greer address- ed the council in the interests of the Ladies' Patriotic Society asking the council for a greet of 5100 to be used for charitable purpose and paying for knitting and sewing. If they did not hire these people they would likely be receiving help from the town. Last year the ladies received $300 from the council, 100 to be spent for knitting and 200 for other patriotic purposes, since the money was spent they had used $51 out of their own treasury in paying women to knit. They only pay 10 cents a pair for socks. Moved by Tipling and Reeve Mitchell that this council give $100 to the Ladies Pat- riotic Society to pay knitters. This money to be taken from the balance of the Patriotic Grant—carried. The finance committee reported fays orable to the passing of the following accounts: CAPT. RFV. 0. E.

Wright of the 61th Battery, now being recruited at Guelph passed through town on Saturday in the in - tenets of recruiting his battalion. Lieut. Wright will be at the Queen's hotel on Thursday, Nov, 1(3th for this purpose. Over three hundred men are wanted at once. In Monday's list of easualities we find Wm. John Passmore's name, He enlisted in December last in the 79th Battalion, Brandon, and went overseas in March. He was killed in action on September the 20th and was eighteen years old last February. His father's address is 105 Franklin Ave. West Toronto. He is a brother of Miss Mao Passmore of town. Miss Lottie Tillotson who gave a talk on her travels through eeveral parts of the world in the Town Hall, on Monday evening of last week app- ears to be travelling a hard and rough road. In Teeswater, Wingham and in Lucknow she had old time quarrels over money matters. But when all is figured up ebe is making a 9alary that would buret out the pocket book of moat men. The Electric Light System was a losing proposition and yet their rates were so high that Mr. Lepard claimed he could not continue his chopping mill at the rate he was charged for power, his September account was $119 and his October account $152 30. Others in town are getting their power cheaper than that, and the council should he thought have the power rates revised and done right away. Mr. Binkley had enquired what the hydro at Clinton was costing and found it was only a very little lower than Wingham was chargiug. Reeve Mitohell said that; when the town, a few years ago, bought the en gine for $5,000 they were led to believe that it would run all creation and now ib is impossible to even run a chopper on a paying basis with it, Ile thought the sooner an engineer was got to reg. elate things the better for the town and not have business and industry crippled. Mr. Tipling said that in his belief if the upper dam was harnessed the town could produce more power and possibly make a good deal more out of it than they secured at present. Mgr, Brooks of the electric light plant on being aeked said that the loss on day power last month was $18.25. Moved by Tipling and Binkley that Mr. Lepard be charged at tho same rate as other users that is up to 750 k. w. h. at the rate of 3 cents per k. w. h. and over this amount at -the rate of 2e per k. w. h. and be changed for the months of Sept. and October,— Car- ried. Chairman Binkley continued his re- port stating that regarding the sulk ing- of a flat rate for the Queen's and Brunswick, they favored making a re- duction if these hotels continued pro. per lavatory accomodation to the gen- eral public. Several of the councillors expressed themselves as favorable to opening up public lavetories, Moved by Spotton and Patterson that the matter of light rebate to hot- ele be sent back to the committee to bring back fuller reports at next meet- ing, -.-Carried. Mr. Spotton said lie was decidedly opposed to going to any cost of putting up a lavatory, be- cause the town can't afford it. Ile thought that the committee's report was most vague. Ma Gurney said be was in favor of leaving rate as it was. Moved by Reeve Mitchell and Coun, Tipling that the proper committee look into the matter ot providing or building a public lavatory and report at next meeting. --Carried. Another matter that Coun. Binkley thought the council should give the committee their opinion on, was, whether or not it would be advisable to take over the control of the upper daan, the committee recommended that they ehould. Mr. Howson's lease does not run out till 1021, but they would only need to give him six mons. notice. Before the town can give any more power they must spend over $1,000 more on theElectric Light Plant This is certainly it serious condition of affairs for a town like Wingham, and it is not much wonder that we have John Perdue, coupons 5, G, Stewart, Dr. Redmond, it Dominion Bank " not more industries. Chief Allen, who attends to the dam, told the coun- cil that it was in a very bad condition and would, he thought, soon have to Le rebuilt, Reeve Mitchell ta aid he did not blame this year's council for any blunders in the Electric Light Dept, he thought they am more to get out of the dark than ever was done before. Moved by Spotton and Pattereon that the Electric Light and Water- WOrks Committee engage one of the timee competent engineers obtainable to go Into the cost of day power and the %%lite of the upper darn as a power too ttnwitnE. , „ 03 ea 1St Wear. eeCatt. ltd.

Umbel complained to the council that ha was ;teemed for 100 feet frontage on Main St. whereas he had only 00 feet, The Mayor prom- ised him that his request would be looked into. Councillor Isbister, chairman of the Property collimate°, reported that owing to the- lateness of the season his committee had been unable to accousp. lish their work of laying a sidewalk to the cemetery. The ground had been levelled and he had no doubt that Turnberry would pay their share of the work already done, whit% amounts to slightly over $20. Mr. Tipling, chairman of Street committee reported that he had found that at it house on Francis St„ the pipe was connected with a cellar pipe. This mistake was made by the plumber who joined the pipeo, and Chief Allen tad never been asked to inspect the work. The matter had to be attended Vo at once as it was not sanitary. The property owner was not to blame as she did not know but that her sewer pipe was connected properly. By-law No. 770 to provide for the closing of barber:. shops as petitioned for, was road three times and passed on motion of Messrs Isbister and Tip - ling.
