Mayor Trewartha presided. It was rather late when the coup eil got down to business, the mayor clerk and members of the council having been in attendance at the Lucas banquet. After the reading of the minutes of last meeting' communications were read from the Richmond Hosiery Company, who has taken over the Stevenson -Harris plant, asking that the sante privileges enjoyed by the former company and the same rate of taxation be extended to the new com- pany. This communication was re- ceived but no action was needed, as the council contemplates no change of attitude towards this industry. The city clerk of the city of London wrote asking the council to join in a petition to parliament to give the municipalities more control over the expenditures of the school boards, On motion of Reeve Elliott and Coun- cillor Paisley the clerk was instructed to inform the City of London that as the Clinton boards are co-operat- ing satisfactorily with the Council no action seemed necessary. The Goderich Board of Trade wrote asking co-operation in getting an excursion over the C.N.R. from To- ronto to Goderich. On motion of Councillors Livermore and Cook the clerk was instructed to write the C. N.R. asking that such an excursion be run. The Fire Company wrote asking for a grant of 575 towards the ex - papas of going to Elmira to attend the third convention and tournament of the Ontario West firemen's As- sociation July first, The cost will be 5100 or mare, the secretary stated. On motion of Councillors Livermore and Cook a grant of 550 was voted, Chairman Cook cif the park com- mittee reported things in good shape, Chairman Crich of the street com- mittee recommended the laying of about 4,500 of cold tread pavement, utilizing the services of the county engineer and county equipment. This caused a' good deal of discussion but was finally adopted. Under the head of new business the matter of building permits came in for some discussion, one from John Watkins for the building of an oi' station on the eolith side of Huror street and another for the building of a verandah by Miss Brigham, Al- bert street. 'Councillor Paisley said that while 'he had no objection at all in the present instance he though these requests for permits should be presented to the council before build- ing operations commenced. "Suppose the council for some reason should object to giving these permits," he said, "it would make an awkward sit- uatien,"' The mayor thought the councillor's point well taken and with Reeve Elliott as seconder, Mr. Paisley made a motion instructing the clerk to insert an advertisement in The News -Record advising those intending to apply for building per- mits to do so before the building is started. Chairman Livermore of the ceme- tery committee reported the boule- vard beside the cemetery had beer nicely levelled, Hullett township go- ing fifty-fifty on .the cost. Reeve Elliott said the Hullett people got right to work and had the work done before they were aware of it, but that a good job was done, On motion of Councillor Paisley and Reeve Elliott certain back taxes. which are considered uncollectable, are to be struck from the roll. Mayor Trewartha remarked that the roll was in very good shape. Over ninety per cent. of last year's taxes are colleete ed, with prospects of more to come.

It gave the names of one of the passengers as Miss Doris Durnin who is a Clinton girl now en the staff of one of the Goderich schools, This was a mistake. Miss Dorothy Durnin was the lady meant. 13flas Doris' friends are glad to know she was not even in the accident. WELCOMED THE COMING The opportunity was taken on the occasion of the farewell banquet to Mr. Lucas on Monday evening to welcome a new business associate and Mr. A. T. Cooper proposed a toast to "Our Guest," Mr. Richmond of the Richmond Hosiery Company, which has taken aver the Stevenson. Farris plant. Mr. Cooper expressed the hope that the business under its present management might grow a- pace and in replying ',err, Richmond hoped that the vision of success thus given by Mr. Cooper would be fulfilled. He intimated that in time the Clinton plant might be head, quarters for the firm. He expres- sed pleasure in this opportunity of meeting so many of the Clinton bus- iness men and looked forward to happy associations with them. The 'plant has been opened under the new management, Mr. Bonhoff being in charge, with a staff of a dozen or more. Clinton weldomes this new firm to town and hopes the business may continue to grow and expand..

A IrAREWELL BANQUET A complimentary banquet was ten- dered Mr. S. L. Lucas, the accountant of the Bank of Montreal, by the men of Clinton on Monday evening last, on the eve of his departure from the town. Mayor N. W. Tre- wartha acted as toastmaster in a very appropriate manner and a num- ber of toasts were proposed and re- plied to, in a way which demon- strates the high oratorical ability of our 'citizens. "The King" proposed by Toast- master Trewartha, brought forth the hearty singing of the National An- them. "Our Banking Institutions" was proposed by Col. H. B. Combe and responded to by Col. H. T. Rance, a former bank manager, and Mr. E. Paterson, manager of the Royal Bank, "Our Municipalities" was proposed by Mr. J.

THOMASMcMTL•LAN, M.P. representative of South Huron in the Dominion arliament, who died in Clinton Public Hospital on Tuesday morning as the result of injuries received on Monday when he was crushed against the wall of the stable on his own farm by a young herse he was handling. HURON MIEN ON COMMITTEES LITTLE LOCALS Rev. 13'. A. Bremner of Brtu'efield was appointed a commissioner to the General Council of the United Church of Canada at the London Conference just completed at St. Thomas. Rev. J, t'P Johnson, Londesboro, who is moving to Crediton at ;the end of June, and Rev. D. N. McCam- us, a former pastor 02 Wesley church Clinton, were appointed to the His- - torical Committee, Rev. W. P. Lane was named a member of the social service committee, 111r. Lucas came to Clinton some six years ago, since serving as ac- countant of the local branch of the Bank of Montreal -here and man- aging for the Bank the sub -agency, first at BrucefieId, and latterly at Londesboro. At the banquet, high tribute was paid to his'banking ab- ility by H. R. Sharp, the Local man- ager of the Bank and by a number of other business associates, both in the banking field and in other basin- esses. No one doubts his ability as a banker and many can testify to his courtesy and efficiency. The splendid gathering was a de- monstration of the high regard whichs icommunity holds for Mr. Lucas. There was nothing about the town's life and affairs in which he was not interested, and representatives of all activities in town, including Church. Civic Affairs, Business, Sports, et2, were glad to do honour to "The Man." He was always willing to render his valued counsel and assis- tance in any worthy cause and par, ticularly took a very active interest in sport, giving unstintingly of his time and talent to the Clinton GolfClub, Clinton Bowling Club and Central Sports Committee, serving for considerable time on the execu- tives of each of these branches .of sport. All those who have had the privilege of serving with him on such executives or on other commit- tees do vouch for his high executive ability. In 1928 the Local Branch of the Canadian Legion organized in this town, and from the time of. its or- ganization, M. Lucas served con; tinually on the local executive, being for the .present year, first vice-pre- sident. He was very keenly inter- ested in the problems of returned men, and always brought to bear on those problems a knowledge and un- derstanding which characterized thoroughness.' As a token of the high regard in Which he was held in the Legion, he 'was fittingly present- ed by his .comrades at their last meeting with a small memento. !At the ]banquet on Monday night, Mr. Lucas was again fittingly pre- sented by and on behalf of the ass sembly with. a set of silver table- ware. it is hoped that he and his family, who will be missed equally as much as himself, may long live to enjoy their usefulness. . Mr. Lucas has been moved by his Bank to Elgin, Ontario, where he will take over the managership of e ,branch. there. This town con- ratulates him on his promotion, and aur (best wishes go with hien in his eve sphere of ,activities; and we hall all watch with great interest is future' ;career. . y . •_ MISS GLOVER RESIGNS Miss Glover of the Collegiate staff has resigned and for the pre - Mr, John Watkins has erected an oil station on the south side of Hu- ron street. l' Mr. H.
