IIZWIN'S " CLINTON'S LEADING STYLE SHOPPE_" Street Committee Commended on King Street Repairs Unlike the last council meeting when verbal clashes and heated ar- guments marked the usually austere proceedings, the . session on Monday was most orderly. Instead of hurling epithets, bouquets were freely hand- ed around. Some of the members at least must have felt they were Mighty good fellows after getting so manly compiments. Reeve Livermore, chairman of the Street Committee, was well to the fore in catching posies, mainly on the King Street construction work. He reported that this had cost around $660 although some of the material removed in excavatng had been used on other streets to lower the net cost considerably.The mayor and N. W. Trewartha spoke favorably on the work done and expressed the opinon that a permanent job had finally, rbeen accomplished on what the mayor '` termed "The Fish Pond", while. Tre- wartha likened. it . to the Wingham "Sink Hole." A special meeting: was held on the 16th the reading of minutes reveal- ed, to talk over the Cox and Colleg- iate drain situation; tile work on King street; to receive the report of the tax collector on arrears of taxes. At this meeting the Property Com- mittee were instructed to go ahead with repairing the market scales. The mayor reported that he had been in touch with the county en- gineer and a rebate in cash was due the town. He also stated he was glad to see 'that some of the side- waiks had been fixed and hoped this would be continued. Speaking further on street work, Trewartha recalled!. that when Mr. Stong was street superintendent he had marked" off parking spaces and traffic lanes. He would Ike to see this done again. He suggested too The Farmers' Market Wheat 57e. Barley 42e. Oats 30e. Buckwheat 50c. .Orealm 24e, 22c, Eggs 32e, 29c, 24c, 18e, Hogs, $8.35.

Merrill, of Summer- hill, the -marriage to take place quiet- ly the middle of October. were free from refuse and co-operate with property owners in seeing that tile under roadways was clear. In reply Livermore said that he had this work under - consideration lout had. withheld it as the Bell Telephone Company and Hydro had not comp- leted their part of the contract in leaving the sides of the street in good condition. The clerk was asked to write to the Company regarding this. The Firemen asked for a rebate on hall rent for a dance they plan hold- ing at a future date. Cook suggest- ed that they hold the dance and then ask for their rebate and he felt sure thecouncil would deal fairly with them. "The Cemetery is in splendid con- dition and well kept" said MeGoun, chairman of : cemetery committee. "Unfortunately this Louncil has not seen its way clear, to go ahead with a mausoleum but the plans will be available for the, consideration of next year's council" he said. The relief situation is good at the present time according to Aiken, only two families receiving assist- ance last --month. This will be cut down to• one family for October. "Christianity' comes into our council meetings as in everything else" said McGann when the question of hand- ing out meal tickets to transients from the first of November was MT.' traduced by him. "It is true we may be feeding shysters, but wemust not overlook the fact that we may be turning away a deserving man". he said. A yea ' and nay vote on his motion to commence 'transient re- lief from November 1-st lost. The Finance; report was read by N. W, Trewartha' and passed for pay- ment. He informed council that the former assessment on the hotel of $6800, had been reduced to $5500. --11r TO nvi- .,urn .r n,rnlinv,4 IS HIGH MAN ON O.A.iC.

Four of the amounts were small, .the other four were non-residents, and the tax col- lector expects to be able to clean these up without holding a tax sale. A rebate on Trader's license for 0. Noble was again brought up, but as the statutes reveal that this cannot be rebated except as a reduction on the yearly business tax no action can be taken. Goderich, Seaforth, Mit- chell and Exeter clerks had been consulted and in no case had a re- bate been allowed. In Seaforth and Mitchell the Transient Trader's fee is $200, while the fee at Goderich and Exeter is the same as at Clinton. Street Pay sheet $276.70 R. B.
