This year the same two men again hold these positions. Is there any sig- nificance in the coincidence? They are both level-headed men, with high ideals of public service; both are ambitious for the welfare of the community they serve. Work- ing together, they should do much for the town and district. | vealed many things. a town. held its monthly meeting Tuesday | jot, February the ist. Mayor Pitt occupied the chair and a full! attendance of members was pre- sent: Matthews, Norgate, Wilde and Beveridge. A new LE 1s evident in the sessions of this bédy. The old air of genial paternalism has disappeared for good, and is re- placed by the manner of practical men who have got together for a serious purpose. Matters which have hitherto been allowed to drift are being looked into, and where improvement is necessary improvement will be made. In the course of discussion con- cerning the appointment of a po- liceman and his duties, it was decided that Council as a body go on a tour o finspection of the Town Hall. This inspection re- The police cells are in a damaged condition and have never been repaired, while communication with the outside is easy through the pres- ent location of the windows. No heat reaches them, and it would be impossible to detain a prisoner under existing conditions, The heating furnace is only about so per cent efficient from worn parts, and has to be banked up with an unsightly pile of ashes to be of service at all, making needless work for the caretaker. The vault, installed at considerable cost, is useless at present because of damp. The fire apparatus is also in need of a few pieces of equip- ments. While there is no likelihood of Council being committed to ill- considered expenditure, they are not likely to hesitate becaure a necessary improvement « involves ilar matters will receive p:oper attention in their turn. At the same time the new policy insists that the revenues of the {own shall be collected, thus making possible the up- keep of all synip ment necessary to the running of The most notable features of the meeting was its frank criticism of all questions brought before it. Clearly any policy advocated must run the gauntlett of the : sharpest inspection before it can . be passed. Time will demonstrate | the truth or otherwise of these j observations. After the minutes were read and adopted some correspondence was submitted by the Clerk. , Victor Main was notified in re- ply to his application that $30.00 would be placed in the hands of the President of the W.I., to be] used in helping him and his fam- ily. A motion was passed instruct- ing the electrician to extend the street lights to corner of the rock quarry, Mr Nelson was advised that he could have the service by paying for installation from there to his house. Accounts to amount of $394.98 were passed for payment. It was resolved that to prevent the inconvenience of blowouts at inopportune times, users of mo- tors be instructed to install proper starting devices 'satisfactory to the electrician, and that motors be not used between the hours of 4.30 and 10 p.m. The electrician was authorised to purchase two 15-k transformers to improve the lighting service. James McFadyen was again appointed assessor, for the year 1021. The tax Sollee instructed to notify delinquent tax payers that unless settlement was paid before March 1st, the properties would be put up for sale for taxes. After discussion of the whole question a motion was passed to have the Town Clerk advertise for a town policeman, at a salary of $125.00 a month. Council then adjourned. The dining room of the Dryden Hotel is again in full operation under the management of C. Q. Self. The convenience is greatly appreciated, and is of distinct service to the town. Joe Peel is leaving Dron for a visit to North Bay about the 8th of the month. : ; Councillors Hill, Golden, : ment to bring it wp to require-| a small outlay, and these and sim-{ the Dryden Agricultural Society will be held in the town hall here at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of : Monday, February 7. All those appointed to the Board at the annual meeting are expected to be present. Failure to attend with- out notifying the secretary, D. Anderson, may be construed as unwillingness to act, and many important matters will be laid be- fore the directors. It is the wish of the President, John Hutchison, that the Society start right in to make the annual Fair something that everyone in this district is going to be proud of--or bust. Dryden and district can raise crops equal or better than any other district in Canada. To be worthy of the great inheri- tance that nature has bestowed, we must be in a position to put on exhibition the finest display: of farm and garden produce that can be grown in the country, or con- fess ourselves unworthy of our heritage. A great effort will: be made to ex tend the scope of the Fair No longer can it hope to succeed if its greatest ambition is merely to sée who can grow the biggest turnips. | The Fair must appeal to every section of the gommunity by stimulating healthy rivalry in all the things that make for com- munity betterment, as well as in- dicate the lines along which pro- gress can be made. To this end women have for the frst time been included on the directorate. It is probable that their number will be increased by the addi.ion of other women from neighbour communities. assurance that the rewards will go to those who will them. © Put it fined in your calendar of . coming events that the 1921 Fair will be the greatest and best ever 'held in the history of Dryden, and do your part to make it what you would wish it to be.

All owners of firearms, whether enwly acquired or old property, ae requied to have a permit. Ex- ception is made only of shotguns already owned and in possession of Britisn subjects before the above date. Even cannon used for decorat- ive purposes must be licensed.
