BATTLE FOR TUE
WAR'DEN'S CHAIR_

ready -, Warden Peter Dong
Presented with Handsome Cane,
•
GODERICH, Dec, 9.—At_ the elos-
Ing session of . ttie Counhfy Council.
Warden Peter Doigr`• of Hawick, was
presented with a handsome gold -mount.
ed cane, suitably engraved. Gordon
Young, reeve of Colborne, made the
presentation and the address was read
by Reeve Neebe, of Stephen. The
Warden in thanking the members of
the Council, referred to the good work
done by the members during the year
and the harmonious feeling which show
ed itself at every session. •
There is sone talk Of the -Progressives
( showing .themselves next year. As in
former years the custom of having: the
Conservative and Liberal warden year
about prevails, 'and it is for this rea-
son the' U.F.O. members believe they
should have a turn. While the matter
has not been discussed in open council
It is believed by some of the older meni
bers that nothing will be done.
A warm battle is promised next year.
for .the warden's chair, Already two
prominent members have openly de-
clared they are out for the honors,
Deputy Reeve Dr, Clark, of town, and
Reeve Erwin of Bayfield, It is also
rumored that Reeve Hackett from the
north is in the field.
PLAN TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
The coroner's jury impaneled to in-
quire into the circumstances surround-
ing the death of Leonard McManus,
who was killed, about three weeks ago
by being run down by an automobile
339 t driven by his brother, brought in a ver-
dict of accidental death and attached
-177 blame to no one.
, As a result of the accident some ac.
168 tion may be taken by the next yeat"s
Council to regulate the traffic on the
175 square. Some suggest the stopping of
160 alto traffic entirely on the square on
110 Saturday nights. This, however, is
47 felt by the business men on the square
to be a serious handicap to their bust -
492 ness.. Another way which seems to find
approval is to build a fence around the
112 r park so that it would be necesary for
170 one to go to the corners to enter the
131 park, •
122 The two fatalities that have happen-
ed on the square have been the result
535 i of pedestrians crossing the road in the
middle of the block. it is believed that
41 i this danger will be overcome if the
latter method is used.
