I. Spence said he had to buy so that it would hold its weight at Bellerille. He failed to see where the difference lay if taken on in uezght iqstead of pgice. Mr. Blanchard, of Leaskdalc factoryrobject- ed strongly to any change in the rule, main- taining that cheese should be purchased at just what xt was worth the same as grain. Mr. Flavelle said that if he was a. dealer he would thfnk difierently, He had known chzese torzexyon to shrink two and three pounds. It was allowed in all the leading markets, and if i: was refused in here it would keep outside buyers from visiting Athe_ market: The pxesident said the rule was introduced on the board at Pctexboro last winter but was dmpped at the last meeting, the buyers refus- ingto purchase They wereat the mercy of the Mr. Flavelle said it was the rule at Peter- boro, one of the best markets in Canada. It was impossible t_o egtjmate the s_hrink3ge_._ --‘ The president stated that while at Peterboru the other day he was informed that factories Could secure the services of an inspector for two lessons for $5, or three lessons {or $7. He did not favor the expenditure, other factories could suit themselves. . . .This board had been dealt a severe blow from the fact that Peterboro had sold for 6%, while Lindsay sold 6}§c. The prices would have to become nearer equal or the Lindsay market could not exist. Another injury was that they “ere one week in advance of any board in Canada, and he thought that unless a good offer was made they should ad~ joum for three weeks. Mnb Spence, buyer for the W artingtons, ob jccted tothe clause disallowing the usual half pound {or shrinkage, adding that his firm Would not purchase on the board If xt was adhered to. Petcxboro had suspended the rule.

A request was made for two hydrants in the South- west part of the town and is still a. live issue. If it is complied with it will mean an additional expenditure to the town of some fifty dollars per annum, and will at the same time prove a valuable source of revenue to the company from the increased number of water takers. Another point is that if it is the correct thing to com-i ply with the request from this particu. lar section how many more places are similarly situated and likely to be heard from. If hydrants are given where demanded how long will it be before the annual expenditure is in- creased One, two or even three thousand dollars. It is only right that citizens should be afforded fire protec- tion, but who is to “pay the piper?1 Not the waterworks company. now FAIL TO SEE THEM. P O R T E R ’ S .
