THE CLINTON NEW ERA
Thursday, December 9, 1909
J. H. Lowery, George Baird, N.
W. Trewartha and John Hartley
were named to the executive of
the West Huron Teachers' Assoc-
iation at a meeting held at the
Model School, Clinton.
Jacob Taylor has decided to
throw his hat in the ring for the
mayoralty for 1910, Mayor Wiltse
having decided to retire.
Clinton was hit by a severe
snow storm on Tuesdey, and so
far it has not let up. Makes 'us
think that winter is really here
in earnest.
The Doherty Piano and Organ
Co. are working night and day
in order to get their Christmas
orders completed,
Miss Maud Cluff has been
signed on to teach at Walton
following the Christmas recess.
The following were present at.
the Town Council meeting: Mayor
Wiltse. Reeve Gibbings, Council-
lors Cooper, Taylor, Holloway,
Jackson and Ford, On one of
the few occasions that the coun-
cil is evenly divided on a ques-
tion and the Mayor must cast
the deciding vote, Mayor Wiltse
voted in the affirmative for
holding the construction of bet-
ter streets over till 1911. Those
in favour were Councillors Coop-
er, Taylor, Jackson and the May-
or, end those against were Reeve
Gibbings, Councillors Holloway
and Ford. At the same meet-
ing, Dr. Shaw, MOH, gave has
report which showed that there
'had been 34 births and 32 deaths
in Clinton during 1909.
The Molson's Bank has placed
two large electric lights at either
Ride of the entrance. These have
lettered globes, telling the out-
sider what institution is inside.
