DURHAM Durhx Ill's population is now 14,53, a decrraf-e i^f 32 frcm Ust year, according to .^.'.Ki'.'isi'r Elviilgc's (iffioiil rinun-s. The drop is wholly accounted fur by the clos- iiiir iliiwii of the cement plant, otherwise a nmteri'il increase would probably have been shown. Though the population is down, housts are exceedingly scarce, very few vacant and one to rent la now pr.kcticaliy inipost-Hile to i-ecure. The new industries comine will boost the population, bnt afford no relief in the of Oaprey, who has been failing in health housing situatii.ii. At least a dozen for some time, passed away at his home on the 8th line on Monday, May ."i.

It's an ill wind that blows nobody good, for since the town runains below the 1500 mark in population it is relieved of the provincial highway expense in construction, except- ing the propoition paid by rural inunici- palities. At. a meeting on Friday last citizeua heard from Mr. Moore of Toronto, a proprietor for a new Mantel industry. He !isked that the ti^wii buy or furnish the building iiectssaiy, also meet cost of machinery f'T which he would pay interest i or renwl till such time as payments reached the ori>;iiial outl»y when the property would bo his. He would begin by employing 20 to 'M) hands and befoie a year expected to increa.SH to 75. The propi'Bition afi presented did not seem to appeal to citizens nnd a.i will be seen the Council turned it iluwn. We believe inure consideration and a better presenla. tiou of the proposal might have reveakd benetits unthonght of. The S.
