This decision was not arrived a

COLLEGIATE SPORTS.
The Collegiate Institute ' ganaes
were held in the park Friday last
- and wore witnessed by quite a large
number of citizens. The different
events were keenly contested and the
scoring above the average. James
Cameron has high ' score for the
championship cup with 13 points and
one event yet to be contested. The
football match, the 0. 0.1:. vs. Hen -
sail, resulted in favor of the former
by a score of 2 to 0. The visitors
were without their strong half back
which would have enabled them to
make a *tter showing, but will have
another chance later when the
Collegiate team will 'visit Hensall.

question before the council is simply

ing.? The people must be supreme.

Councillor Gibbings . presented the
report of the special committee whi-
ch has been considering the question
of Municipal Ownership. The. com-
mittee favors the purchase of the el-
ectric light plant if it can be secur-
ed at a reasonable figure and sug-
gested that a by-law be prepared fol.
submission to the ratepayers at the
January election, The committee.
was empowered to 'pursue its re-
searches and put facts and figures in
nutshell shape for the further en.
lightenment of Ithe citizens.
Councillor Ford said tl+at aniontAr
of men are now at work, on the Mary
street drain upon whielf an expendi-
ture of $300 will be made this fail.
The main drain will be a '24.inch tile
into which will run three 15 -inch
tile.
Councillor Glbbings said mistakes
have been made on that drain and he
hoped the street committee was not
going to make another costly blund-
er by minhing three 15 -inch tiles into
one 24 -inch.
Councillor Cottle did not proceed
to an actual dernonstrAtiGn, but he
assured Councillor Gibbings that ,the
big the will carry off all the water
that the three smaller ones ean con-
vey into it. The mayor is of the
same opinion, but it was agreed' that
the table prepared by The sower pipe
company be 'accepted as correet.
The question was asked : "Is the
Mary street drain a 'drain' or. a
'sewer' ?" and it 'was broadly hinted
that it was Wing used for the latter
purpose.

Mr. x. A. Walker of Clinton has a
number Of men at work now building
the cement bridge on the 6th cOa.
The work is being rushed as rapidly
as possible and is being clone in. a
' thoroughly satisfactory manner. The
arch' is thirteen feet across, the ler
gest cement arch in the county. The -
abutments are twelve feet high, tw-
enty feet across 'and each has two
twelve foot extensions. The mixing
is done in .a machine made by, Mr.
Walker, the motive power being. a
boy and a nag, . thus doing away with
an engine, fuel and a man to attend
to it. About 120 barrels: of cement
will be used in the' bridge. Mr. Wal-
ker has also invented. a machine for
making cement ,blocks for wells and
has applied for a patent. These
blocks have been used by Squire Big-
gins of the London. Road and *Mr.
William Murch of the Base Line, both
of whom express great satisfaction
.with them. The blocks are cheaper
than 'either wooden curbs or brick
and much more enduring, Practically

manufacturer's standpoint this in-
