Moved by Conn. Staples, seconded by Coun. Anderson. that no person consult the town solicitor except the Mayor and chairman of the finance committee, and then only on urgent business, without the consent of the council, Coun. Staples said that if the resolution was adopted and carried out. the town would save a large amount annually in solicitor’s fees. He had just learned that the town had been served with a writ for hydrant rental and the chairman of that committee should have informed him of the matter before. He had been told by a prominent citizen that certain members of the council had never paid one cent for solicitor’s fees since they sat at the board, but obtained What they wanted from the town solicitor free of expenses. The Mayor ruled the resolution-out of order 0.1 the ground that there was a similar resolution on therboolis already. resolution before. If it was carried out there would be money saved, as last year heaps of by-laws were prepared that were not worth the paper they were written on, but the town had to pay for them all the same. Reeve Crandell said the motion was inconsistent. If he as chairman of a committee gave notice of the introduc- tion of a by-law, he should have legal advice to get up that by-law, but by the motion that right would be cut off. Every chairman who has the consent of the council to bring,r in a by-law should also have the privilege of obtaining legal advice and the town might be saved hundreds of dollars by having properly preparednby-laws. , IAL LL-L :L‘ LI‘n nkn:“ 115v rm- ‘1“ Coun.

The Mayor said that the carters’ by-law was a. cnpy of the Toronto one and had cost but a. small sum. Coun. Touchbum deprecated copying a city by-law, which, with the exception of a. few clauses, was useless. He favoured giving permission to chair- men of committees to consult the sohcitor, after the council had agreed on it. Qopnfitaples appealéd from the mayor’s decxslon. The Mayor maintained that his ruling was correct and after some further talk, Coun. Staples withdrew his resolution. on the understanding that the resolution already in the book, would be adhered to in the future. FINANCE REPORT.

"éoiuinZâ€"fieeivesen had seen Maw and felt that the people at the home for the aged were afraid of a little trouble: Reeve Crandell said that the council could not; order a man to be sent to gaol.

W -.-- ”a, , The Mayor agreed to look after him 1 and the matter dropped. 7 THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. Col. Deacon, on motion addressed the council. In the first place he urged the council to make the customary grant to the Mechanics’ Institute. In the second place he drew the attention of the council to the delapidated and unsafe condition of the sidewalk leading from the town to the Riverside cemetery, which might be aptly termed “God’s Acre.” The walk was a nice one and very large numbers of people were in the habit of visiting “the city of the dead.” The sidewalk now is in a dangerous condition and as many of those Wlw) wed it were ladies, the walk should hm idaced in a passible condition. He th - at the town should pay one-half of the .st of a new sidewalk and the Cemetery 00., whose finances are in a flourishing condition, should contribute the other half, and if they did not do so, he was willing to pass around the hat for public subscriptions to make up the necessary amount. In the third place he drew attention to the deplorable condition of the old church of England cemetery, in the extreme end of the east ward. Since the new law regarding intramural interments came into force the cemetery had been practically abandoned and at the present time it was the stamping 1 ground for cattle and hogs. Some years ago when he was a member of the council he had secured a small grant and had put the fences in repair, but time had work- ed havoc and repairs were badly needed now. The ground was six or eight acres in extent and he was satisfied that the town could easily obtain possession of it in fee simple. It had been purchased for taxes by the Rev. Mr. Vicker’s, then incumbent of Lindsay a few years ago, and he felt satisfied that the town would not have any trouble in getting control of it. It would be a valuable addition to‘ the town and the council should see that it was fixed up, if only for the sake of decency. Mr. Samuel Irwin was heard. He said he was interested in keeping alive one of the best educational factors in this or any other town. He referred to the Mechanics Institute and said that in Lindsay, it was particularly hard to keep up, as there were several other libraries in town, which kept people away who would otherwise go to the Mechanics Institute. It that institution was allowed to go down for want of support it would cast a. great reflection on the intelligent ‘ people of the town.

Biain, that the matter of grantinu the sum of $100 to the Mechanics Insti- tute be referred to the finance committee with power to act.-â€"Carried THE BAND. Mr. Wm. Veitch on motion, addressed the council. Some time ago the band had asked the counc11 for a grant of $200, to assist in paying the salary of a teacher. The matter had been referred to the finance committee, but that body had not yet reported. They had engaged the services of Mr. A. Brown, of theBowman- ville band, and would have to make up $300, even if the town granted $200. As mattersstood now, no grant meant no band. The bandsmen were perfectly willing to leave the money in the hands of a committee of the council and only wanted monthly payments. 1 The Mayor said that he wanted to keep up the band, but he thought that the council would not be justified in making any further. grant. until the band committee of last year had handed in a report. F ‘I A ,7,_’_ Reeve K ylie, treasurer of last year’s committee ysaid that them was still on hand $61 or $62 of the $200 granted. Coun. Staples said the finance com- mittee Would take action as Suon as last year’s committee reported. COURT OF REVISION. Moved by Reeve Kylie, seconded by Reeve Johnston, that the Mayor, and Reeves Kylie and Crandell and Couns. Keith and Touchburn be a Court of Revision for 1894 and that they be paid $2 oer day for their serv1ces.â€"Carried. The Mayor thought that $2 per day was too much, but Reeve Kylie and others supported that figure and the motion was passed. A CARPENTERS RISK. Moved by Reeve Crandell, seconded by Coun. Robinson, that the carpenter’s risk for $9, 000. for one month, be put on the mar‘ et bulldintr. â€"Carried: .‘q. Coun. Stéi)vleisvorb_]ecrt,ed as the building was not worth over $6,000. nn‘... .

A very large and enthusiastic meeting of the Lindsay Curling Club was held last Friday evening in the club room at the rink. The first business was the consid- eration of a proposition made by the Port Hope club to form a. new league indepen- dent of the Ontario Association. It was decided unaminiously not to entertain any such a proposal but to discounten- ance it in every possible way. Reeve J ohnston’s resolution was ear- ried and the council adjourned. The local match committee then presented the following report which was received and filedzâ€"With the close of another curling season the work of your local match committee has come to an end, we desire, however, before being relieved of our duties to briefly review the play of the season just closed. Profiting by the experience of the season of 92-93 we decided to issue a time card so that all members might know for the whole season on what nights they had the right to play. In preparing this time card we kept three things in view, first to give to all rinks as nearly as possible the same number of nights, second to give to each rink the opportunity of meeting every other rink at least twice during the season, third to arrange the :dates that none would be taken from ‘ their busines or other engagements more frequently than necessary. We have to thank the skips and the members of their rinks for receiving the time card in the proper spirit. and for giving us credit for having the clubs interests and that alone before us in its preparation. In all rink competitions we made it a rule that at least three members of each rink must be present. We are very much pleased that the different skips endeavored to carry out this rule, and very few contests have taken place without the required number being present. Should the proposed new building be ready for next season’s play, we would recommend to our successors in office the advisability of making a rule debarring a skip from taking on a member of another rink to complete his number, believing that it will add interest to these local competi- tions if they are strictly confined to the members of the contesting rinks. We arranged for five competitions at points and these were all played off, though we were compelled to have the Provincial Points competition and the S. C. Wood medal points competition take place at the same time. meg to the fact that very little interest has been taken in the three pair stone competition open to juniors. for a number of seasons, this year we abandon- ed the competition and offered the prize as a second prize in the first point comâ€" petition. The only other individual prize given was the three pair stone prize open to all. we regret that this year only a small number of members took part in the competition. We are in hopes that if a large building is provided, due provision will be made for these individual contests, feeling sure that they tend more to develop curling skill than any other kind of contest. We would recommend that in future second prizes at points be gixen to the junior player making the highest score. Inn-wanna...q \-â€"v -”3"â€" The rink competitions have been well carried out and the number of games played we believe is in excess of any other season. Very many of the games were exceedingly close and, though the ice was not always good, yet we feel that the strongest rinks have come to the front. In the regular series of games two rinks vizzâ€"J.
