THE C'OUNOIL MEETING • Council met' on Monday evening, Reeve Trewartha and Councillors Elliott and Thompson being absent. AIong about this time of year the council begins to be. rather tardy in convening and the reporter, though somewhat late, still had some time t e wait,it being on the stroke of nine when. Mayor Combe mounted the chair. But the e grist 'of business was not very heavy.. ' • On motion of Councillors Paisley and Miller the offer of the Toronto General Insurance 'Company was ac- cepted for an -indemnity policy, at a reduced premium. /Councillor Paisley reported ver- bally for the street committee and recommended the placing of some new (cement blocks in the sidewalk in front of the Nediger Garage, which he said had become dangerous. Councillor Hohnes reported ver billy for the Fine and Water com- mittee, ammittee, calling the attention of the council to the success of the fire company at Tavistock last week, and on motion of Councillors Holmes and Cook it was depicted to give the com- pany theusual grant of $50.00, and alio a refund of $15 hall rent and $5 Association fee: Mayor ,Combe called attention to the fact that the Western Ontario Firemen's Association will meet in Clinton in 1981 and said arrange- ments would need to be made to en- tertain them. Councillor Cook thought the Park should be put into shape and a meeting of the commit- tee and a committee from the fire company will be called -to discuss the arrangements. Councillor Miller made a verbal re- port of the work done at the town dump, which has been administered by the street ,committee. And Conn= eiller Paisley said Councillor Miller deserved a great deal of credit for the way he had fixed up the dump. It is in Vetter shape than it has been for -years, Some discussion tools place about the procuring of stop signs. Clerk 8lacpheison reported that the Oriilia firm had refused to supply fewer than 25 at less than $4.50 a piece. On motion of Councillors Paisley and Miller it was decided to order 25 at 84, as it was thought they could eas- ily be used. Councillor Cook thought something should be done to stop speeding on the highway through town, as acci- dents were bound to happen. He and Mayor Combo each had witnessed cases of excessive speed, and Coun- cillor Paisley said the rate in town was 20 miles and speeders should be checked up. The members of council seemed to be rather put out that the Kittle Band doesn't 4on'its kilts for the weekly band concert and on- motion of Councillors- Cook and Miller it was decided that they were to be paid $125 for the four concerts in June and to receive no more from the grant unless , they appear in uniform. Since this a committee from the council has met a commit- tee from the band and an amicable arrangement has been arrived at. Councillor- Paisley presented the, following financial report; THE HOME PAPER THE MAR.KETA. Wheat, $1.10. Barley, 50c to 600 Oats, 50e. Buckwheat, 75c, • Butte x• 28e. Eggs, 1e to 24e Live hogs, $11.00, INFLUENCE FAR-REACHING • Nets -Rekord advertising brings' results and its influence is far-reach- ing; . Just recently a roan away out in Saskatchewan saw an advertise- ment in The News -Record about hatching eggs, The breed of the eggs suited him and hi nnmediately wrote - for sone; • which :were in due time packed and expressed. Pro- bably the chickens h cc ns from these eggs ggs are now being carefully •reared by their owner, and the sight of them will always remind him of I3:m'on county and, incidentally, of The News -Record, we hope. , HOIVIIEMADE SHOES A curious piece .o£ workmanship has been on display in the window of Mr. F. Jackson, shoe dealer, during the past week, a pair of men's shoes of home manufacture.' They were made by one of the inmates of the Huron County Houle, who, finding it difficult to purchase a pair of boots owing to the fact that he wore an out -size, had manufactured a pair for himself by cutting soles from a piece of board and sewing uppers to them. , On the arrival of the man at the Home Manager Jacob concluded that he should have a new pair of shoes but on bringing him up .town to be fitted found that there was nothing in stock be could • get his feet into. His measurement was taken and the order sent to the wholesale, where a new last had to be manufactured before the shoes could be made, but finally he got them and, no doubt, reds thein more comfortable than the homemade pair, - DEBENTURES PAID OFF On July 1st. 1910, the town of Clinton sold $10,000 worth of ten- year debentures for the payment of Macadam streets, many of which have new been torn up, and on July 'lst, 1030 Town Treasurer Macpher- son drew from the municipal sinking .fund sufficient funds to redeem same, reducing by that muoli the town debt. $4,000 of this was held by the town and will be reinvested. In .1932 another $4,000 will become due and ie 1937 Waterworks debentures, a- mounting to over $50,000 will be- come due. When this is paid it ought to make some difference in the cost of water service. Sometimes people give a note rather carelessly, thinking that when it conies due in a month, three months or perhaps a year, they will be able to meet it easily but they find that .it must be met, whether it proves easy or difficult. And long- term notes, debentures are really municipal notes, also come due in the passing of the years and if the town officials, did not snake provision for their redemption they would find themselves in a very awkward posi- tion. But Clinton's finances are al- ways kept in good shape and when debentures come due there are al- ways funds ready to redeem them. So the town is kept solvent and her credit. good.

H, Sutter, a native of the city, may well be ranked among Strat- ford's prominent citizens. In the social, fraternal, civic, sporting, business and professional life of.
