WRacKlau: 'file Government fishing
cruiser Laurine, in milking shelter to
this harbor last Saturday night, -about
7 o'clock, ran hard'and fast on the sub-
merged breakwater, which is in coarse
of construction at the mouth of the
harbor here. Local tugs tried to get
her off but without success. The
Reid Wrecking Co.'s tugs were wired
for, but were unable to reach her in
time to be of any assistance, The
furnishings were taken off Sunday and
the boat abandoned. The boat was
recently purchased from Hiram
Walker, of Walkerville, and fitted up
for a fishing cruiser, and was on • the
way to Gorgian Bay ports. Fier
captain did not know of the break-
water.
TANGLE OVER STREETS.—Somewhat
of a compli0atiou has developed over
the closing up of certain streets at the
dock here, made necessary to find
room for the C. P. R. yards. There
seems to have been something in the
way of an understanding between the
town council and the railway company
last year that the streets found neces•
sary to be closed would be closed, but
the legal steps were not taken at the
time to reach tbat understanding and
in the meantime the construction of
the station and tracks was proceeded
with so that certain of the streets re-
ferred to are still legal streets though
the tracks of the C, P. R. run over
them. Notice was given in the legal
form that the by-laws to close the
streets would be proceeded with at the
council meeting last night and so the
matter had to come up, but there was
a manifest disinclination to deal with
the question, and a motion was made
to leave the matter over, but this was
later withdrawn, The question of
claims for damages owing to the clos-
ing up of the streets seems to be the
bugbear, The town council agreed a
short time ego to accept the sum of
X760 from the railway company as
compensation for the closing of the
streets, but a motion was made at the
last council meeting to reconsider this
and Friday night the Reeve moved to
give the streets to the railway company
gratia,. the company to assume respon-
sibility for any actions for damages,
but the insertion ot such a clause in
the by-laws, it seems would invalidate
them. There are complatuts from
three parties, who claim they would be
injured by the closing of the streets—
Capt. Babb, proprietor of the Ocean
House, who says the closing of one
street would prevent easy access from
the C. P. R. station to his hotel ;
Percy Walton, who owns a mineral
spring lot, which he says he would be
unable to reach if the streets were
closed l and tYlrs. Evaugelia Hawley,
the owner of a large amount of land
at the dock who says the closing of the

word, The whole property around has

wished, Both Col, McDonald, solicitor
for the railway company, aorl E. L,

at the.,meeting Friday night and Col,
McDonald pointed out that the griev-
ance of some of those objecting was
mors imaginery than real. Three by-
laws in this connection were given
their first and second readings, and
the question will conic up again at the
next meeting, thougb it may not be
finally disposed of then. One of the
by-laws is to close up certain portions
or streets which are now used by the
railway, a secoud is to close up a street
leading to the water front, and the
third is to open a street iu place of this
last the new street being /El a more
