Tho following letter from Bishop Williams regarding the newly ap- pointed rector of the parish of St, Paul's will speak' for itself and will be read with interest not only by members of that church but by all citizens ; - Messrs. Middleton and.F'otd, Wardens St, Paul's Church, Clinton of the matter of a soldiers' memorial -no action was' taken regarding the Women's Patriotic Society's tingges- kion that 00 matter be taken up. For the same reason and because of. the faetr that the county council de- cided to establish 0 110(5)1101 - as a county memorial lie action was tak- en in regard to the purebaso of flet I;attenbury house as a hospital. Reeve Ford said that as Clinton was in so central a position he though: the county hospital might be °stab'• llshed here. Councillor Paisley, chairman of the street committee reported some work done on the streets since last meet- ing. As chairman of the fuel com- mittee he reported a quantity of the wood sold ants a quantity on hand still for sale. :Councillor Johnson, chairman' of the Fire and Water committee re- commended that the'appoin'tment; of H. Glazier as fire chief , and flee}. Coats, Frank 13awden and T. Ii, Cook as firemen. That the salaries be as follows : Chief, $40 ; eaptaia, $36 ; lieutenants, 830, and firemen., $25, per year ; that ,the council pay half price of firemen's boots ; that the fire and water committee have power to dispose of steam fire engine and that the stun of $50 be set'asida for the benefit of firemen who are in- jured at a fire.' The . report was adopted. • The fire brigade is com- posed as follows.: Chief, 1i. CJlazier ; Captain, J, H. Herr ; Lieutenant, N. Kennedy, Firemen, L. Lawson, H. Fremlln, W, Kennedy, A. Oudmore, 13. Fitzsimons, F. Dickson, Carl Draper, Wilson Elliott, W. Coats, Frank Dawden, T. H. Cook, T. Churchill. Reeve Ford spoke of the work at the cemetery, explaining that it was in much better. shape than at the be- ginning of last year and said that of the 800 odd which had been expended about 540 had been repaid and the whole place was very much improv- ed. Areport was read from the Meds icalical Health Officer in which he said that the bylaws re. health would be strictly enforced. Dealers must wrap bread ; pigs must not be kept within thirty rods of a dwelling ; garbage must not be dumped at the bridge, but at the gravel pit, the legitimate clumping ground, and but- chers ut-clhers must burn offal before feeding same: Mr. W,'A. Grant, local fuel con- troller, reported at length to the council regarding, his work. He com- plained that the Fuel Commission had not given him the assistance which' he thought he was entitled to ,in carrying out the duties of his. of - flee and that the local dealer, refus- ing to show his invoices, had made ft impossible for him to handle the situation with any satisfaction to himself or the people. On motion of Reeve Ford and Coua• caIllor Paisley the report was adopted and then followed a rather lively dis- cussion. The newer members of tke council seemed to think the matter should be thoroughly gone into and an investigation made, the older members for the most part counsell- ing inilder,measures, Reeve Ford called attention to the fact that the coal dealer had his license from the Fuel Commission and was iiccountable to it, that the council had no power to enquire late Itis business and that coal prices in Clinton were not much if any higher than in surrounding 'towns. When a number had aired their views on the matter on motion of Councillors McMurray and,McEwan a committee, consisting of Reeve Ford and .Councillors McMurray and John- son wero appointed to go with Fuel Controller Grant and confer with the local coal deafen Rand try .to come to some amicable agreement with re- gard to coal prices. The time for the returning of the collector's roil was exteuded to May, 15111.

Tho following letter from Bishop Williams regarding the newly ap- pointed rector of the parish of St, Paul's will speak' for itself and will be read with interest not only by members of that church but by all citizens ; - Messrs. Middleton and.F'otd, Wardens St, Paul's Church, Clinton of the matter of a soldiers' memorial -no action was' taken regarding the Women's Patriotic Society's tingges- kion that 00 matter be taken up. For the same reason and because of. the faetr that the county council de- cided to establish 0 110(5)1101 - as a county memorial lie action was tak- en in regard to the purebaso of flet I;attenbury house as a hospital. Reeve Ford said that as Clinton was in so central a position he though: the county hospital might be °stab'• llshed here. Councillor Paisley, chairman of the street committee reported some work done on the streets since last meet- ing. As chairman of the fuel com- mittee he reported a quantity of the wood sold ants a quantity on hand still for sale. :Councillor Johnson, chairman' of the Fire and Water committee re- commended that the'appoin'tment; of H. Glazier as fire chief , and flee}. Coats, Frank 13awden and T. Ii, Cook as firemen. That the salaries be as follows : Chief, $40 ; eaptaia, $36 ; lieutenants, 830, and firemen., $25, per year ; that ,the council pay half price of firemen's boots ; that the fire and water committee have power to dispose of steam fire engine and that the stun of $50 be set'asida for the benefit of firemen who are in- jured at a fire.' The . report was adopted. • The fire brigade is com- posed as follows.: Chief, 1i. CJlazier ; Captain, J, H. Herr ; Lieutenant, N. Kennedy, Firemen, L. Lawson, H. Fremlln, W, Kennedy, A. Oudmore, 13. Fitzsimons, F. Dickson, Carl Draper, Wilson Elliott, W. Coats, Frank Dawden, T. H. Cook, T. Churchill. Reeve Ford spoke of the work at the cemetery, explaining that it was in much better. shape than at the be- ginning of last year and said that of the 800 odd which had been expended about 540 had been repaid and the whole place was very much improv- ed. Areport was read from the Meds icalical Health Officer in which he said that the bylaws re. health would be strictly enforced. Dealers must wrap bread ; pigs must not be kept within thirty rods of a dwelling ; garbage must not be dumped at the bridge, but at the gravel pit, the legitimate clumping ground, and but- chers ut-clhers must burn offal before feeding same: Mr. W,'A. Grant, local fuel con- troller, reported at length to the council regarding, his work. He com- plained that the Fuel Commission had not given him the assistance which' he thought he was entitled to ,in carrying out the duties of his. of - flee and that the local dealer, refus- ing to show his invoices, had made ft impossible for him to handle the situation with any satisfaction to himself or the people. On motion of Reeve Ford and Coua• caIllor Paisley the report was adopted and then followed a rather lively dis- cussion. The newer members of tke council seemed to think the matter should be thoroughly gone into and an investigation made, the older members for the most part counsell- ing inilder,measures, Reeve Ford called attention to the fact that the coal dealer had his license from the Fuel Commission and was iiccountable to it, that the council had no power to enquire late Itis business and that coal prices in Clinton were not much if any higher than in surrounding 'towns. When a number had aired their views on the matter on motion of Councillors McMurray and,McEwan a committee, consisting of Reeve Ford and .Councillors McMurray and John- son wero appointed to go with Fuel Controller Grant and confer with the local coal deafen Rand try .to come to some amicable agreement with re- gard to coal prices. The time for the returning of the collector's roil was exteuded to May, 15111.
