Sharman, Cowan, Smyth, Pritch- ard, Boyd, Brown, Raynor, . Murray, Partridge, Milroy and Ferguson, where they met the Seaforth gentlemen. Ald. Boyd was called to the chair, who asked Mr. Strong, the Mayor of Sea - forth, to state the object of their busi- ness, which that gentleman did in a clear and concise manner. In his re- marks he -said F ." We feel the need of ` more railway facilities in'onr town. We would very much like to make connection with the Great Western. You are well posted in railway matters here in London, and we would like to hear your views on the matter. Dr. Coleman, Mr. Wilson and ;Stir. Jackson are heavy shippers, and as they are present, you will hear from them on the subject." Reeve Wilson said : "We have talked the matter over with the surrounding municipalities, and we have likewise talked the matter of bonuses.
