Arthur Meighen, Kincar- dine Pipe Band and the pupils of Wingham Public School headed a monster parade to the .Arena, where the speaking takes place, a fuller ac- count of which will appear in our next issue, Case Against Farmers- Fertilizer Little headway was madeby the council and Board of Health in their case against the Farmers' Fertilizer Co.,: charging them with committing a. nuisance and endangering public health, on Friday. At times the pro- ceedings were lively and Lawyer Mor- phy of Listowel, who represented the Farmers' Fertilizer Co., had a ` couple of lively tilts with Mayor Willis and Councillor Fells; Public opinion is very much divided and several witnes- ses who live near the building are pre- pared to swear that neither dust or od- or are of any consequence, while oth- ers find it a sad grievance. The pro- secution secured an adjournment until • 'br. Fraser, provincial health inspector could be secured as a witness. A portion of the roof of the Fertil- izer building has fallen in and the win- dows are in a bad state from being 'broken with stones.. Some steps •must be taken by. either the town :or the company to have a portion of the building repaired or the value of the property will be very small at•the end of the ten year agreement as coznpar- ed with the price $6666.66, paid to the' Canada Furniture Manufacturers in x918. It seems to its that it is almost im- possible to get rid of the offensive od- or, under, present circumstances, and there is little to do but grin and bear it.

A sample of permanent care marker to mark the ots paying for permanent care was splayed. It was a nice little stone with the initials "1'. C." on it and sold ✓ $r.5o each. The Council thought cheaper marker could be secured at would serve the purpose. The mmittee had investigated the cost laying a watermain to the cemetery d found it too costly. A two inch pe laid. below the frost line, by the ad` would cost $158o and running toss the fields would cost about 52. Pipe laid on the surface would wire draining every fall.
