Sootheranâ€"It is necessary to ex- plain why we advocate paying more than the ofi‘er nearly accented by last year’s council. The figure then was $1260. The reason is that the bridge then spoken at wasa part steel and part wood one and the town had to supply and put down the wood. The council did not know that they were not to get a solid steel structure. For that sort of bridge the company asked us $1900 and to-day came down to $1800 and I think if we try we may do better yet, so I am not no sure about the wisdom of firice is $2.00.

Mr. Kemp, president of the Board of Trade, and one of the directors of the hosel company, made a statement to that effect at the Brant- ford Board of Trade dinner Tuesday night.
