THE BAND MATTER A petition signed by 20 of the Citizens band asking for the usual grant of $200 was next taken up. On motion a deputa- tion was allowed to address the nouncil. It was composed of Messrs. J. D. Flavelle, Thos. Brady and Rev. J. W. Macmillan. Mr. Flavelle said: You have recognized the necessity for a band by granting a certain sum to help support it in the past. The point at issue now is whether the present leader is qualified to lead the band thus subsidized. The band is practically unanimous in asking Mr. Cottingham as leader. If you require a more skilful man the grant would need to be larger. That ofiiée. â€"- 18. THURSDAY. MAY 4th, 1899 Cfirm ghncrtiscmcnts. A petition from Mr. D.

COMMITTEES REPORT Chairman Sootheran of the finanr'e com- mittee read a number of reports from which it was learned that 300 copies of the Journal of Commerce containing an article on Lindsay and the photographs of the Aldermen have been ordered at 10 cents each ; also the Bobcaygeon council scheme to advertise the lakes north of here is not entertained by the Lindsay body and finally, since Mr. A.D. Manon was a mem- ber of council at the time his request for pay for his services in connection with the Rider Kitchener industry could not be entertained. The Mayor thanked the deputation and the subject was referred to the town property committee. Mr. Thomas Brady -Mr. Cottingham would willingly follow a better man and asks that the council appoint a com- mittee to assist in selecting the music and see that the band iq properly conducted. THE CREAMERY ASSESSMENT The finance committee had not decided regarding the request of the creamery company for a fixed assessment and on motion a deputation consisting of Messrs. \V. Flavelie, R. Bryans and H. J. Lytle was heard. inarticulate sounds on the instruments than at uttering words before you that we have been requested by them to present their case. We have met them in their rooms and found that they make this request in no arbitrary spirit but are only taking the mund that the present leader is the best available for the salary offered and he is good enough to entitle the band to the usual grant. Mr. Cotting- ham would be g‘ad to follow a better man if he. should be secured. His character and his work, both indicate his fitness for the position. While the latter is not of the highest order, for he makes no pretensions to be an expert, the former is above reâ€" proach and under his leadership the town and band will be spared the disgrace that have attended them under other leaders. It is likely that he will be able to give us music that will be quite acceptable to the . majority of our citizens. In view of this i it would seem advisable to vote the grant. 1 Mr. Bryans saidâ€"The directors ought $800 a. fair assessment. The buil ng cest $750. I believe your committee mention- ed $1000. That seems rather high. The industry is for the town's interest. It can pay little pzofit in any case and when competing with other creameries that are located in the country, the high taxes are a serious damage. The most of the stock is held by citizms who are lens-e rate- pavers. Mr. H. J. Lytleâ€"Small factories outside have done £10m $3,000 to $8,000 worth of business in a year, This amount added to the business of Lindsay will result ina larger advantage to the town than to the stock-holders. We have opponents on the east and west and Oak to be given this small advantage of a fixed assessment £01 a time at least. Mr. \V. Flavelle-The creamery was started to serve the interests of the whole county. At the time it was first talked of there was no creamery in the county. It has been a stimulus and. a. good example to turn attention from cheese to butter. We would like our assessment fixed at $800 but would not think $1.000 out of the way. -" expense would not be favored by the rate- payers. Mr. Cottingham is a better leader than we can easily get for the salary offered. He has done well in a trv- ing time when there have been two bands in opposition to each other. If he has a fair chance he will do even better. The matter was referred back to the finance committee. TOWN PROPERTY Chairman Lennon read three reports. The chief item referred to the newfire hall. 1!: seems that Mr. W. A. White's plans have been adopted, subject to such alteration as the land obtainable may require. BOARD OF “'ORKS Chairman Ingle disclosed the doings of his committee at two meetings. It had left Mr. Fowler’s claim for damages to his hedge by the snowplow, to the annual survey of the streets. It also had recommended that the hand- rail of the new bridge be extended to Cul- lon’s shop at a cost of $17.00. POLICE AND LIGHTING In point of number and importance chairman Horn's were the chief report-s. Therein it was provided that the police receive new suits; that steam whistles may blow for 5 seconds at 5.30 in the morning and for 2.15 seconds when neces- sary through the day. It also appeared from his reading that the Light Heat and Power company of this town have obtain- ed an Option on the Fenelon Falls power and have asked the town for exemption for 10 years and a 10 year lighting contract 1with an option of renewal at the end of that time. These proposals had been consid . ered at various meetings of the committee at which members of the company and their solicitor Mr. Stewart had been pres- ent. At another meeting Mr. Culverwell in behalf of the Burleigh Falls scheme was present and was ready to form a com- pany to develope the minimum 3000 h.p., of that cataract and give a $1500 bond and an equal mortgage on the power to guar- antee the contract for street-lighting if it should be awarded to him. He stated that a revenue of $35,000 yearly, was already assured. In view of these things, At the second reading Ald. Jackson was in the chair. Clause (1) of the street-light- ing by-law says that the new contract calls for 55 are lights of 10 amperes and ZCOO candle power, to burn from dusk till day- light every night in the year. Each light above 55 will cost $30. The municipal buildings, offices, etc., will be given 16 candle power lamps at 20 per cent. less than at present. The company is to be formed and operations going on by Oct. 15th, and the light must be ready by December lst of this year. CAPT. CRANDELL 0X RECCBD. After giving almost painful heed to the 'reading of this by-law, Capt. Crandell‘s placid brow gathered a heavy cloud and it was evident some serious objection or defect had been discovered in its stipula- tions, by the burlv mariner. Rising in his place with all that alacrity for which he was noted before the accident to his shoulder, the Captain was about to utter an eloquent protest, but his watch-chain becoming tangled in the folds of his coat at that moment, seriously disconcerted the commodore and probably deprived the audience of one of the most powerful pro- nouncements ever delivered on the floor of the chamber. As it was he spoke with considerable vigor as follows: I am opposed to that contract. There is one fatal omis- sion. It upsets all that we are aiming at. We are trying to push this town ahead and we are trusting to power. That contract says nothing about the price of power. It does not encourage manufacturers tocome to this town. \Ve have got to have some- thing more substantial than light. “'e only have half a contract. Where are we at? Let these men name some price for which they will supply power or else I will go on record against it; for on the price of the power hang all the profits and the apostles. 1 Note: Wehave since learned that the “ Horn Bros. assessment by-law was not t read athird time because it, was feared i that it might disqualify Ald. Horn, but: a legal advnce has removed that fear and the :, by-law will be read shortly. C.P.R. connection, and the other to Hon. Mr. Tarte asking for river improvements. Col. Deacon believed that the individual system was not a success. Some people take an interest but others do nothing. The tree-planting could never be done systematically in that way. If the council set apart a grant they would get the gov- ernment bonus just the same and the work would be done regularly. BYâ€"LAVVS. Two by-laws and an equal number of memorials were on the table. The by-laws were to fix the assessment on Horn Bros’. knitting factory and to award the street lizhting to the Burleigh company. The memorials were one to the Gowrnor- General asking for a grant toward getting This deliverance would have been a seri- ous backset to the negotiations had nor. Mr. Culver-well risen and said: “We are not negotiating with the town about bring- ing any power here." This eXplanation failed to clear matters up for {he cap‘ain, who insisted that the contract would be a. curse to the town and voted in splendid isolation at both readings. The memorials and this by-law we~ e read three times, but the by-law fixing Horn Bros'. assessment, was held at the second stage “for an important reason" that was not divulged.

Flavelle said that the council’s bonus is not being taken advantage of, and it has been thought that if, say $100 or $150 should be spent by the town directly, the work could be effectively done. Mr. Robb. Navlor explained that is is increasingly difficult to get farmers to deliver stockhere because the yard is so inconveniently situated. A BIG PROJECT MENTIONED. The mayor took occasion to refcr to his plan for general civic improvement. He favors issuing debentures to raise the money required to make the following expenditures: - Good Roads....... .......... 825.000 TREE~PLA2:TING. A deputation was heard in regard to tree-planting operations in the town. Mr. the contract, that had been awarded to him for the Fenelon scheme, before it was condemned by an expert, was extended till December 131:. Ditching .................... 1,000 Fire Hall .................... 5,000 Sewers. 23.000 The New Bridge . . . ...... 1,500 Psvements .................. 2.500 These liberal. but necessary, expenditures total about $57,000, and the spirit in which the mayor‘s remarks were received indi- cates that the council will regard his scheme with favor. It has been referred to the Board of Works, and will be well considered. Lennonâ€"Crandellâ€"T 3b the sewers he proceeded with on 1, Lindsay and Bond-sts.â€"Carried. The mayor thought Lindsayâ€"st. had better be left till an engineer takes the levels with respect to the general syste‘En advocated. Mr. S. Irwin was heard inavigorous protest against the delay in proceeding with the Lindsay-st. Sewer, but was assured that it would go on as soon as pos- sible. Ald.
