Bylaw No. 6, To Close Streets, To Be Advertised. The Clinton Town Council ntet Monday evening, all'peesent with the 'exception of .Reeve Elliott and Councillor Livermore, Mayor Holmes in the chair. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting a commutucation was read from Dr. Shaw, to the effect that he wished to make some repairs to the roof of his house and asking permission to use the sante kind of shingles as had been origin- ally used. Some discussion followed, Mayor Holmes saying that the only thing td consider was whetherit was in accordance with the bylaw, the shingles being wooden. 'On motion of Councillors Cook and Paisley ie• was decided to grant the request, the job not being a full one but a repair job, - Mr. Norman Counter appeared be- fore the council to state the case of holders of cigarette licenses. He said he did not consider' it fair that the venders should be charged a Iicense of S8O• per year, while 'others could sellcut tobacco, which was easily made up into cigarettes. Eighty per cent., he said, of the cigarettes used were hand -rolled. Four or five dealers were paying the license fee set by the town and twenty or amore were selling the "makings." He said While he was the only. one coming before the council all the -other lic- ensed dealers felt the unfairness of their position.. His idea w a s that the selling of tobacco should be limited 'to these license payers, or all licenses should be abolished. He favored the former, and would glad- ly pay= his license if he were receiv- ing some protection for it. Mayor Holmes said the platter would receive the .consideration of the council when all members were present. •Sonne' of the councillors thought no action could be taken at this thne, as some had already paid their licenses for the year, andon notion of Councillors Lawson and Murdoch, the matter was left over. There were three bylaws to deal with on this occasion ,Bylaw No. 6, to stop up certain streets, received its second reading but will be pub- lished before being finally passed. Bylaw No. 7, to jirohibit the keeping of bees within the town limits be- tween March; lst and November' 1st each year; was read three times and passed. It appears that these busy little' workers have been troubling citizensconsiderably and they Sere all to be put out to pasture during the summer -months. Bylaw No. 8, • is an amendment to the Cemetery rules and regulations, replacing section 9, and prohibits plot holders, planting ,any tree; shrub 01' plant in their cemetery lots. Councillor Murdoch, chairman: of the ,cemetery committee, spoke on this regulation, which he thought was necessary for the proper care of the cemetery. He said he hoped it' would not be objectional to. anyone. ; `The idea was to have a uniformly neat and wellcared appearance in the cemetery. . This could best be brought i about by having it smoothly sodded. No objection would be offered to hav- ing tripods with hanging baskets, but when the sod was removed to plant flowers, when the flowers fad THURS., JUNE 4, 1936 THE HOME PAPE Engagements Announced Mr, and Mrs. Adana Stewart, Riv- erside Farm, announcethe, engage- ment of their daughter, Arm, to Mr. Herbert .,Ford Noonan of Windsor, son, of Mrs. Noonan and the late John Hyacinthe Noonan of St..,johns, Nfld.

Shrubs were planted in many, cases, then the people left town and they were allow' ed to grow wild. Councillor Walker opposed • th e ruling out of the planting of annuals, which he said were :an improvement to the appearance of the cemetery, but Councillor. Cook strongly support.- ed upport-edthe .bylaw and the reasons given by Chairman Murdoch and the by- law was read three times and passed. On .notion of Councillors Cook and Lawson the special committee was authorized M. purchase necessary of- ficial equipment for the day constbte. Chairman Cook reported that t?e Business Men's Association 'was, Spending the sun of $SS on the park, which he thought would make some improvement. He reported the base- ball diamond to be in excellent shape, and the trees -growing. Chairman Paisley reported many improvements made in the streets. 258 yards of gravel had been placed on the streets in different' parts of the town, and arrangements had been made to have the grass cut. • Mayor Holmes and Councillor Cook congratulated Chairman Paisley on the work done. The mayor said no mistake had been .made in putting the present chairman in that position. fie was interested in the work of im- proving the streets and' had some time, and did not mind using it, to see that the work ordered was pro- perly done. Permission was given Mr. W. W. !Hutch to alter a kitchen .on his house hi High street Chairman Murdoch reported the cemetery in good shape.. A than had been hired to assist in the cutting of grass,. during the early season when the growth leas so rapid. He also pre- sented a motion, signed by himselr and CoundSllr Lawson, asking the au- thority to .purchase, in conjunction with the Collegiate Board, a power tnower, the cost not to exceed $140. Mr. Murdoch, speaking to his mo- tion, said that the possession of a power mower would give the chine- tery superintendent time to attend to many other things for the iin- provenicnt' of the cemetery which he had not time to do at present. The motion carried. Chairman Walker of the property committee repotted that he had ar- ranged with J. Becker and soh to put a finish on the roof of the town hall, the town to supply the. mater- ials, they to -work et 55e per hour for the two.
