COUNCIL MEETINO
Delegates Appointed To Interview the
Hydro Men
The regular meeting of the Wingham
council was held in the council chaniber
on Monday evening, His worshtp Mayor
Gurney was in the ehair and all the men-
eers were present. The minutes of last
meetiug and special meeting were read
and adopted.
A communication from the Department
of Game and Fisheries asking if the coun-
cil would not appoint a Government Fish
Dealer again this year. On motion of
Councillor Fells and Willis Mr. A. J.
Nortrop was re -appointed for 7919,
The Educational Department wished
to send their Educational Secretary, Miss
•'Taylor of Stratford to Wingham to give
a free lecture to the young people of
town in the interests of the Navy League
of Canada. This commitnication was
left with the executive committee with
power to act, on rxtotiott of Reeve Isbister
arid Councillor Currie.
Mr. 1. A. Mills chairman of the finance
committee of the Soldier's Aid Commis -
'son asked the council for a grant to as-
siSn--earqing on their work of receiv-
ing soldiers and taking care of those who
are dependent or in seeing to it that the
soldiers of our vicinity get a square deal
when they return home. Councillor
Fells suggested that the Patriotic Grant
given as Wingloam's share by the county
council should be given to this cause in-
stead of the Ladies' Patriotic Societies
now that their war work is at a close.
Wingham'a share of this grant amounts
to $13a.35. Reeve rsbister thought it
could be given to the Soldiers' Aid Com-
mission. Councillor Mitchell was. not
sure but that a much smaller grant would
do even though the council would give
more later on. Councillor Elliott said -if
the council gave only $50 that it would
still be up to them to pay for the banquet
and he thought if they gave the Pas that
the matter of banquet would then be up
to the Soldier's Aid. On motion of
Councillors Currie and Willis the grant
of 5132.35 was given.
The finance committee recommended
the payments of accounts for salaries,
work, supplies, etc., amounting to 51910.-
41. Their report was adopted oil motion
of Councillors Elliott and Willis.
Mayor Gurney reported that he had
writteti to the Hydro Commission in re-
gard to having Mr. James address a pub-
lic meeting in March. Delegates will be
sent from the differea municipalities in
this district to Toronto to impress upon
the hydro people the necessity of serving
this district before the end of 1919, He
stated that a factory which would like to
locate in Wingham wanted 200 h. p. but
at present we could not even give enough
power to the industries already estab-
lished here. To a query from councillo
Mitchell as to how much hydro would
cost per h p. he itated that it would be
in the neighborhood of $35, while under
present conditions it was costing about
$62 per h. la, to produce it, estimating
half water and, half steam with coal at
about $g per ton. The Mayor and Coun-
cillor Elliott were appointed as a dele-
gation from the council to interview the
hydro peoole at Toronto whenever ar-
rangements could be made to meet with
Sir Adam Beck.
Councillor Mitchell, Chairman of the
Waterworks Committee, reported that
they had Mt-. Rintoul repair the foot-
bridge and that it now is in good con-
dition. The pumps were also put in good
condition. The pump house was kalso-
mined and the pumps painted.
Councillor Fells, chairman of the prop-
erty committee, reported that it had cost
$52.43 to have the town hall decorated
and painted and glass put in the doors.
He regretted that they would be unable
to renovate the upstairWthis year
We think the citizens appreciate the
efforts of the property committee in their
work and would like to tell Councillor
Fells that were he and his committee to
go ahead and put the Opera Hall in a
little bit better shape we are sure it
would be a credit to the town instead of
a disgrace as it now is.
Mr. Fells reported that a horse has
been purchased for the scavenger at a
cost of $75. He also complained that the
feed for horee in 1918 had cost $x38, and
that the sanitary work of the town had a
defiancy of $43. It was suggested that
Mr. Stokes keep an account of all the
people getting the benefit of the sanitary
work. Councillor Mitchel1 raised the
objection that this was not under the
directioa of the property comtnittee and
'after some discussion as to which com-
mittee should attend to it the following
motion was carried.
Moved by Councillors Mitchell and
Angus that the ruling and governing of
the scavenger's work be under the ex-
ecutive committee as usual.
Reeve isbister said that as 'chairman of
the committee appointed to Wee that the
correct weight of all coal sold was given
his committee recommended that all coal
be weighed. After all the con:millers
had aired their op itlions, both pro. and
con, on the wetter, and some of them
had spokett several times a motion was
finally squeezed through that the emus
itiitteelti report be adopted.
Moved by Ceuncillors Willie end Fells
that all coal dealers be requested to give
copy of weight to cttetomersi and alto that
the fuel commissioner he requested to
bring in a report eith motith Ai Jewett -
ed at the council meeting mid that the
fuel conteollit have the power to demand

4 Monster Log
One of the largest logs ever seen at iseemsteseellealssels
Lucknow was taken to McDonald's saw-
mill, the other day. The monster log
was in four pieces, each ten feet long, and KNITTERS
measured 4,000 feet of lumber. It brought
the owner about $125. Besides the logs
there is a stump about 6 by 6 feet
in diameter and the top of the tree will
also make about 10 cords of wood. The
tree grew on the farm of M. Gardner, and
owing to the scarcity of snow they had
difficulty in getting it to town. A crowd
gathered to see it photographed. It was
found to be too much for the Lucknow
scales to weigh.
