of spending nearly as much to Tema -

He said he did -not wish to force his
opinions upon others brit he thought
the time had cone for Clinton to pro-
vide a' new Collegiate. FIe spoke of
the past eecord, of the Clinton.Colieg-
iate. citing the faet that two Rhodes'
scholars had graduated from it and
ekpressing the hope that with a nee
and. well-equipped- building even -
ter wotic would be done. He thought
if•the peonla'reall,v understood the sit -
nation the would' be no difficulty
about the carrying of the bylaw.
Mr, A. Cantelon was the only nomi-
nee for councillor who spoke and he
tock occasion: to register a, strnnn
picked from a broken walk, which he
could break up with his fingeto. iTe
also opposed the building of ;a new
Collegiate, claiming that the present
one could be remodeled more econami-,
