After the minutes of the last regular and a special meeting were read and adopted, the clerk read a communication from the secretary of the Wearwell 'Softball team asking for a rebate of hall rent, or part of it, wbie'h on motion of Councillors Pais- ley and Cook, was filed, Also one from the BeIi Telephone Company asking permission to move a pole eight feet on Albert street, which, on motion of Councillors Paisley and, Reeve Elliott, , was left to Chief 'Stong to look into and see that no incon- venience was caused by .the change. Chairman Cook of the park com- mittee reported the grain cover ern on the newly -sodded park as being cut. He reported that the grass had been washed out a little. He also reported that the grass on the vacant plot facing Mary street would be cut every fortnight by Mr. Fulford, at a cost of $3, to be paid m the autumn. Chairman Livermore of the street committee reported that the work authorized last month had beencom- menced on Rattenbury and Wlilliam. Be said it was going to cost more than was expected but a good job weu1d be done. The work had . been daiayed a bit on account of the pool quality of gravel, but hoped that the quality would improve as they got into the pit. Several of the council- lors expressed themselves as to the desirability of having signed con- tracts with both 'Mr. Elliott in regard to the gravel and the operator of the crusher, and it was decided to ask and the town solicitor to draw cons tracts, the street committee to see that such are signed. • ' should be placed on Rattenbury and William, warning moteriets that they were using the street at their own risk and 'Councillor Inkley called • at- tention to the way motor fenders project over the sidewalk when backed up to the curb, band nights. He thought • this dangerous to pedes- trians. Or 'notion of Reeve Elliott and Councillor Paisley it was decided to purchase a pair of grappling irons, for use in ease of emergency, sante to be in charge of the fire company. On motion of Councillors Paisley and Inkley it was decided to pay the fee to the Western Ontario Firemens' Assn., although the local firemen are not taking part in a tournament this year they wish to keep their connection with the assn. Mr, G. Phelan asked for permit to build a verandah on his :house in Fulton street, which on Motion of Councillor Paisley and Reeve Elliott, was granted. 'It was also decided that the fire chief be instructed to collect permit fees from others who had done building improvements. Chairman InkIey of the cemetery committee reported the improvements at cemetery completed 'and said the levelling at the east side of the gate had been well done. He also com•' merited on the well -kept condition of the .cemetery, which he said was look- ing very well, indeed. He suggested that the park• lots in the cemetery should be opened up for sale, His id- ea was that those purchasing lots should have a choice and this could be done by throwing all space avail- able open far sale. Councillor Liver- more agreed, said that the park Lots held, looked untidy and ifall. were A BRILLIANT STUDENT ,Miss IeIei, Patten, a first year student n of the University of Toron- to, and a graduate of .the St. George Continuation school, of which Miss Corti Jervis is principal, and a for- mer pupil of hers, is the . -stew ner of aschol • ars rh' p valued at $125, coming highest tin hi g s University College e in Honour English and history.

A SUDDEN DEATH Word was received here last Sat- urday of the sudden death which occurred the previous day at his home near Maple Creek, Sask., of Whlliam Cantelon, a native of Godes rich township. William Cantelon was the young- est son of the late Adam •Cantelon, who was a veteran school teacher and lived on the farm now occupied by Mr. Ed. Grigg, 9th •concession oil Goderich township. He was one of a familyf eight. He hadbeen' in the west for aan cod years many y ars and had been farming near Maple Greek. His death was very sudden and unexpect- ed. He is survived by his wife and two sons, Reginald al d W., principal of the Public school, Unity, Sask., and Harold at home. AIso two sisters and three brothers survive: Miss Sarah and H. H. who reside over the river, Arthur of Clinton, D. J.. of Stratford, Mrs. E. Floody, Toronto, and Adam of Piapot, Sask., who was here visiting relatives and left bra mediately on hearing of his broth, er's death to be- present for the fun- eral, which took place at Maple Creeb yesterday. cemetery would have a much better general apeparance. Reeve Elliott thought the throwing w•pen of all the park lots would give the cemetery superintendent too much work all at once, but Councillor Inkley's opinion was that it would be easier to keep in shape if these lots were levelled so that the mower could be run over them. The matter was left, as he' wished the ,councillors to go out and look the situation over. :Chairman Holmes of the property committee bad no report except the recommendation of the purchase of some kindling for the town hall. Clerk Manning, on tite request of the mayor read a statement of the taxes received for the first six months of the year, a total of $18,- 805.76 having been received. There are arrears of something over $3,000, both totals being somewhat below the figures of last year, owing, Clerk Manning explained, to the fact that the rate this year is lower.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MISS HILL Citizens of Clinton and vicinity were shocked on Saturday morning to learn of the sudden death of Miss Mary J. Hill, Miss Hill had been staying for some months past with Mrs, Jane O'Brien, who is at present on a trip to the west, and spent a part of the time in the house. She was sitting out on the front steps Saturday morning and Mrs. Cree who Iives a- cross the street, noticed her trying to call her end ran over. She had fallen before anyone could reach her, however, and while a doctor was im- mediately called he could do nothing for her and death ensued within a few minutes. She had not been in the best of health but had been go- ing about as usual up to the end. Heart trouble was the immediate cause of death. Miss Hill was born at Whitby in 1863, being a daughter of the late Thomas 'Hill and his wife, Elizabeth McIntyre Hill, who came up to Huron when their family was very small, and• she had spent almost her entire life here. During her younger days she lived on the home farm on the gravel road but for'seevral years she had resided in Clinton, She Rept her' awn home for years but latterly had taken rooms, letting her own house. Miss Hill was a member' of Ontario street United church and was regular in at- tendance when health permitted and was also active in the women's or- ganizations. She :is survived by three sisters: Mrs. John Noble of Hullett• Mrs. Charles Baker of Clinton and Mrs. J. Rath, of St. George. The funeral took place from On- tario street church on Monday after- noon, the Service being held at half past two, Rev. F. G. Ferri)] in ,charge. The pallbearers were: Messrs. Mc- Knight, Leonard, Tiplady, Noble, Cook and Tyndall. Interment in Clinton cemetery.

N'., Buffalo; Mrs. James Hill, Kitchener; Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Hill, Ridgeway; and Mr. and Mrs. J, R. Hill, Jarvis, i REGRET THEIR DEPARTURE The ladies d of theco n g. g r e atron of Wesley -Willis, as a little token of goodwill, presented Mrs. Gandier, prior to her departure from town, with an overnight bag. Owing to the feet that Mrs. Gandier is just recov- ering from an illness, the gift accom- panied d byan explanetory . pwas Y note, 5 sent to Mrs. Gandier. It is a natter of regret that this family is removing front Clinton, for the present at least, as at the begin- ning of the autumn school tern' they intend going to Toronto, the two old- er members of the family, Joe and Harriett, will attend university, the former having finished his first year there, and Bob will attend university school. They will be missed in Glin•1 ton, where all the children have grown: up and where they are popular with their friends.
