On motion of Conn. Manon, seconded by Dr. Burrows, Mr. Thos. Connolly was heard. Mr. Connolly stated that. he was one of a deputation appointed from the com- mittee in charge of the “home” to press upon the council the necessity of pur- chasing the present home or some other place for the purpose. He was not par ticulariy struck upon the home, but did‘ not know where there was amore suitable building. As they knew the owner would not make any improvements. and if the town purchased the building certain repairs would be necessary. There was at the present time some $327 that has been bequeathed to the home. in addition to the government grant, in the treasury, which could be utilized to make the need- ed repairs deemed necessary by the gov vernment inspector. The present rental would pay the per cent. on $3,500 of deqentures, besides allowing S5 for insur- ance. Now, all the owner asks for the whole property is 32.000. The owner refuses to make any improvements. and the propertd needs attention. In answer to Capt. Crandell he stated th-it he con- sidered 8.300 for the house and lot was very reasonable, but. he thought $500 for the adjoining lot was a high valuation. IUUW‘vsvw v.- Coun. Manon gave notice that he would introduce a by-law for the nppointment of Dr. Burrows stated he bed given the necessary notice to introduce a by'lew amending by-law No. 749, but u there was a greet deal of business before the council and ee there were two or three memberl ebeent, he would prefer to leeve the matter over for one wee if the council would agree to an adjournment. It m en important by-lew end he wanted every member to share his full proportion of responsibility. Mayor Taylor eteted that it: was the intention to hold another meeting in about two weeks. lUyUIIIIub vâ€"v v_â€"_r..-_ , Conn.

We are now $260,000 in debt, and these additional expenditures would mean at least another 375,000 more, which would drive all the ratepayers out of Lindsay. Capt. Crandellthought that Dep.-reeve Wilson was not up in the question of finances, and recommended him to look into the matter, and he would see that they were going to save money. Den-teen Smyth maintained that the purchase had not been favorably consider- .L , L L‘â€" - __LAn--n-a ed, and pair ted out that the ratepayers would not favor any further bonding of the town. Unless Mr. McIntyre had changed his mind he would not favor the purchase. The matter was reren'ed to the finance committee. Dur. Burrows stated that the matter had been favorably considered by the council last year, and he fan steal the pur. chase at once. Conn. Baldwin could not see the neces- sity for purchasing the extra lot. The inmates were all old people, and they did not want extensive grounds. Tney would make 3 saving of $500 by not purchasing the lot. which could be utilized in making the repairs. m.- I ‘ I'r A'A‘ LA Reeve Brady had nothing to say against the purchase. neither did he consider the price high, but he failed to see any necesâ€" sity for rushing the matter through. There were members present who did not know anything about it, and he favored sending the question to the finance com- mittee. "Dep. “reeveâ€" Smy th stated that the scheme had not been favorably considered by the latp coqngil. Capt. Crandell stated the proposal to purchase the home was looked upon Very favorably bv all connected themwkh, and he was glad to know that: it was favorably considered by the last council. If they proposed do anything in this direction they should do so at once. The roof was leaking. lhe plaster falling off and the repairs should be made at once. 4‘ _____ NIPPBD IN m BUD.

There iu extreme unre=t among the natives, who are incensed at the plague measures, which wound their religious suficeptibilities. in addition, the plague authorities are at loggerheads with the city corporation, which has stopped their supplies of money. â€"A plebiscite was taken in Vancouver upon the question whether a liquor license should be issued to the music hall.

He reached for the reverse lever, but from his position was unable to raise it; with his one hand. His brother ran and raised in, but not before the knives had cut; his hand off in one and one-half inch cuts up as far as the wrist. â€"-The report of the commission appoint- ed to investigate into the affairs of the St. Vincent de Paul penitentiary promises to convey some startling information.
