The district' eiperie ted•' its -worst
-rain and thuder storm of the. season
Tuesday evening. A .torrential • down-
pour, aectinipanied by thunder and
lightning, resulted in certain areas of
the town being flooded,' to an extent
reminiscent of the 'hoods that inun-
duated large , areal' early in April.
'Streets were' under water from curb,
to curb at •a number of points and
many cellars were flooded, '
As a• resjilt of the storm two sec-
tions of the town'were without hydro
power for four hours when transform-
ers Were blown out. Power in a sec-
tion on the west side of Main Street,
which included the . Bell Telephone
office, was restored about 10 p.m.,
while the portion of Egmondville also
affected was repowered. shortly after.
'P.D.°. employees repaired the dam-
age as soon as storm -conditions per-
mitted.
During the .power failure Bell Tele-
phone service was maintained by use
of etnergency equipment.
Lightning which blew' out a trans-
former also led to a short circuit in
the fire alarm system, which resulted
in a false alarm being sounded about
;six o'clock.

(The Seaforth Women's Institute,

headed by • Mrs. Paul Doig, during re-
, cent months, has recorded the history
of 'pioneer' farms and institutions of

measure to the historical data of the

THE VILLAGE OF EGMON,DVILL•E
Egmohdville is about one hundred
. and fifteen years old, being named
after Colonel Anthony VariEgmond,
. ;who opened up the Huron, Tract, built
the, Huron Road, and was the first
settler in Egmondrville. His old *Me,
.Is called the Vanfigmohd. Reserve,
and his son, Constant VanEgmond,
later gave one acre•off the place for
a cemetery.
The village watt settled in ;the early
days moistly by Scotsmen and Ger-
,mans, ail arentty 'a very good combin-
ation. Both races being thrifty and

John Daly, grandfather of the late J.

a place known as "The Buminer's

from the present Tannery; The Tem-

counts, was anything but temperance),
owned by Bill VanEgtnond, one of
.Colonel VanEgmond's sons. It •was
nothing for the children conxing,;home
from school in those days to see half
a dozen drunken fights.
'Whenever a few fighting Irishmen

'The taxi question, introduced when
Clerk D. H. Wilson read a letter from

be taken, led to. a• long discussion,:
with couhcil divided as to the benefits
which would result' if a by --law was
passed. Opposition to the by-law 'cen-
•tred• about the fact that sink. a by-law
,would tend, to create a monopoly and
could work an injustice in the case
of organizations who from time to
time hire cars of members to assist
in transportation••to engagements end-
games: With a by-law, it was 'felt,
such arrangements could' not be 'con-
tinued, and only licensed cabs could
be hired.
. On the other hand, it was pointed
out a taxi by-law would provide pt•o-
tection-.';for the public in that all lic-
ensed cabs woulti be required to ,ear-
ry passenger • insurance ;• licenses
could be -refused in certain cases as
a further protection to the public, and
