N. COUNTER Counters for Finer Jewellery for Over Half a Century in Huron County COUNCIL MEETING We understand its the first time in the history •of the Town of Clinton that a council meeting has lasted un- til after midnight. This is what hap- pened at Monday night's meeting, when High County Constable Fox of Goderieh waa present and addressed council briefly and it was moved that council go into e, cernmittee as a whole to discuss police work with the High County Constable, Press excluded. Council resume.d again about one hour later and it WAS decid- ed to advertise for applications for Chief of Police and Watchman. Chief of Police to work days for a salary of $1000 his duties to be governed by town by-law, The Watchnian to work nights at a salary of $900 his duties also governed by town, by-law. This difficulty arose from an appeal by - letter from Chief Constable Premlin, to serve days after eight years of night duty. There was, of course, con- siderable discussion and, a decision by council was made more difficult by an appeal from Day Constable El- liott for an increase in pay. All inembers were present at the regular neeeting'of council and Mayor MelVfurray presided. The minutes of the last meeting were read and ap- proved.

An appeal fos an increase in grant of $25 from the treasurer of the Clinton Spring Stock Show was read, and it was move il that $125 be granted the Show.
