The will of the people in Huron is my leader -and my leader is my politics in the !natter. Jim Ballan- tyne and (Geo, Elliott have their lead- ers ead- ers'bu•t they reside in and legislate for Toronto, not for the coun ties. I stand for industry' in semi) towns as oppos- ed to big city enterprises, for the de- velopment of small town stuff. Their leaders are too provincial in their po- litics and poor politics at that. I ant municipal minded Now, that's that. There has been too much legisla- tion for Toronto and not enough for the counties in years gone by.

The : arrears, with penalties and costs, on the fac- tory property amounts to about $1,- 500.00, Mr. J. J. I-ieggard, town soli- citor, outlined the proposition, name- ly, that the Town of Seaforth take over the land and buildings, including boilers, generator, 1 line shaft, all fix- ed piping, etc„ hot not machinery and equipment that goes with the machinery and that the Town of Seaforth rebate arrears and make a $500 payment. The Canada Furniture Mantnfactur- ers made a machinery valuation of $7,000; they to leave the machinery in plant 'for one year and store it rent free. It was espiained that if any purchaser arose the machinery could be had for $7,000. I'f the land and buildings were sold, the company would- move the machinery immed- iately and at their own expense, The solicitor read correspondence with F. E. Brown, Canadian Bank of Commerce corporation executive, which bank held the mortgage de- bentures: Option of purchase of ma- chinery was declared out of the ques- tion, The C,IF,M, asked for one month's notice for removal of mach- inery. Approximate value of the land and buildings was placed at $2,100, Legal technicalities stand in the way of completing the deal, unless a by- law is submitted to the ratepayers and passed, the Industrial Sites and Act and !Munici'pal Act being cited. In answer to a question, Mr, Mc• wen said the property is insure(' E for $1'5,500. Mr. J, V. Ryan reported inspecting the roof of the furniture factory; the roof is not in good condition, parts are cracked. The cost of re -roofing was estim- ated at $1,000, by Councillor L. •E'b- erhart, The matter of repairing or wreck- ing the building makes the question urgent, it was pointed out. Mayor Sutherland was strongly in favor of taking over the factory, pointing out that if the building is wrecked that the town will be with- out housing for an industry, and vomer be particularly unfortunate at this time when labor troubles in cit- ies are causing industries to seek smaller towns: if the factory is torn down, it will never be rebuilt, the Mayor said. The proposal was thoroughly dis- cussed and laid over to next meeting. 'The council proceeded to other business. Cutting off •direct relief was discussed. The auditors' report was received and accepted. Auditor F. W. Wigg appeared on. behalf of the auditors and a bonus of $12,5'0 each was granted over the regular -fee of B5.00, owing to considerable extra work for relief accounts. The meeting adljourned to meet on May 114th. WILL TEST PUBLIC OPINION. The 'Temperance forces of South (Huron propose to hold meetings in Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Ex- eter and other centres during the next few weeks to sound out pulblic opinion, and if sufficient support is evidenced a candidate may be plac- ed in the tfield in the conning provin- cial election. This decision, it is un- derstood, was reached' at a meeting in Clinton Tuesday night when it was announced that a manifesto present- ed to the candidates, Geo, H. Elliott and James Ballantyne, had been re- turned .by both candidates without signature. ST. THOMAS' CHURCH W.A.
