NOTES OF THE GAME. â€"Had the baseball club thought of it in time and the watering curt secured for half an hour’s sprinkling at the bfiil grounds, it would have added much to the comfort of the players:- â€"A blackbnard hung out at intervfls from the sourer's box, giving the standing of the game is an inovatiou that would be appreciated by spectators. â€".~\n enterprising youth with a pail of good lemonade could- have raked in a - _ . . . ,‘LÂ¥ “W.“ pucketflll of five-cent pieces supplying the tlursty crowd in the grand stand. as well as the players. The pump was in aCLiVC demand. â€"-'].‘he ()ddfellows excursion to King. ston and the Thousand Islands was liberally patronized, fully 350 excursion- ists going from Lindsay alone. At Peterborough about 150 boarded the train and by the time Kingston was reached the crowd of happy pleasure-seekers could not have been much less than 700 ; of this number probably 200 remained over at Kingston, and the balance boarded the Steamer Hero for a run among the beau- tiful islands of the St. Lawrence as far as Alexandria Bay, a famous summer resort on' the American shore. After a short stay the return trip was begun by a route different from that taken on the down- ward run. The weather was perfect and the enjoyment of all on board complete. . Lindsay was reached about 3.30 Tuesday . morning ...... The committee of manage- ‘ m« n: are to be Congratulated on the man- nci in which every detail was carried out. Naming was left undone to make the outing pleasant and profitable. . . . . .About $125 will be reaiized over expenses. EXCURSION TO INDIAN VILLAGE. The excursior under the auspices of the Queen’s Own Piccolo Band and Reaboro brass band to Indian Village was a success. When the Steamer Columbian left the wharf at 10.30. having been delayed an hour by the non-arrival of the Reaboro contingent, there must have been fully 75 jolly excursionists aboard. Some little difliculty was experienced in getting ‘ away from the wharf, cwmg to the lowness * of the water, but after that everything . went merry as a marriage bell, and the , staunch steamer landed her precious load ; some ten hours later without a mishap. , The trip up the lake by moonlight was much enjoyed. The members of the two bands desire to return thanks to Captain McCamus and crew for the care and gentle- ‘ manly treatment showu to all on board. Y.P.S.C.E. EXCURSION. The excursion to Gannon’s Narrow’s, under the auspices of the Y.P.S.C.E. of the Baptist church proved a most enjoy- able outing. There was apout 250 on board the steamer Crandella when she left the wharf at 8.30. The return trip was made at an early hour, all expressing themselves delighted with the scenery enroute.

WHAT’S THE NUMBER OF You: TAG. v . ' . r:â€" Reeve hylle mshed to know 1f 1t WdS the custom for people to call and secure tags for (lugs assessed without havmg to pay__the taxes thereon. . 1 . 1, , L _ .1 L..!-,1 ..v â€"â€"-~ v---‘- rm, -. - The clerk explained that he had tried to collect the taxes for all dogs on which tags were applied for, but as the same was included in their taxes he could not: do so. Town Salicitor Hopkins explained that- it would not be operative as the collector would also msist upon payment of the dog taxes._ .- .v 1 . ‘1 L .lu -Amtn wva _ V, Keen: K3 lie thouuht that ten cents should be collected for the tag, as “ e11 as the tax collected when the tax! w as granted. Coun. Cumin favored the hypointment of an official to look after the enforce- ment of the by-law and to give him a liberal commission. Dep-fleve Robson thought that the tag would be a receipt for ghe_dog tax. :Luun... Coun. Llyans thouuht it would be better to give him the dogs. Town Solicitor ankivns shited that the present by-lmv was alright if left tu the clerk and collector. Dup-rceve Cmudell wanted the matter settled definitely. He favored the ap- pointment of an officer to look after the collection of the dug tax, as it was impossible for the police to do so and attend to their regular duties as well. ,1 (ULUUI‘VI \v 'C-v-- _'°__VV7" ,, Moved by Dcp-reeve Crandell, second-1 ed by Coun. Killaby, that this council appoint: Joseph Wilson official collector of dog tax, and that the remuneration be twenty-live per cent. of tha amounts collected. H15 duties shall be to carry ‘out the provisions of the by-law and L) collect taxes on all dogs not already assessed. \v 1-. V'U' -.- Coun. Touchbum tlmuvrht the motion a Irood one as it: meant they would secure :eyenty- fi-ve cents instead of nothing at all. Reeve Kylie considered that it cost too much for Collection. The people should bring along their 10c for their tag and pay the tax at the same time. He thought the police could look after it alriglit: “1555“ u. Clerk Knowlson explained the proceed- ure for enforcing the by-law in Port Hope, a here it worked very satisfactorily. The police were empowered to destroy all dogs running at large without a tag. ‘ . The motion was then put and carried. ‘ IN THE PEOPLE’S INTEREST. On motion Town Solicitor Hopkins was heard stating that as he purposed going away for a short holiday there were a few things which he wished to explain to them. He said as there was some talk of forming a new electric light company in Lindsay it would be the duty of the council to consider the where and how the poles should be erected, painted etc. ‘ They should also take such steps as would be necessary to control the rates similar to the waterworks, as it would noc be right to leave the ratepayers at the mercy of any large company. He also asked for - nâ€"An __4L___-..L.. account, explaining that he had not time to make up the some before going away. The account would exceed that amount as he had made personal expenditures of sums between $200 and $300. Dunno vv u v-.- '.__ Movecl by Coun; Winters. seconded by Reeve Kylie, that the clerk be euthorizd to pay the town solicitor $500 on account. -â€"Carried. Moved by Conn. Winters, seconded by Dep-reeve Robson, that a by-law be in- troduced at the next meeting of the council to be submitted to the ratepayers at an early date to issue debentures to pay off the floating debt of the town of Lindsay ____ _ . . ,1 L‘-_L L- stunudat ”111“”: Conn. Winters stated that he thought that the council were unanimous in their opinion as to the necessity fur providing for the floating debt. in this way. But if deemed advisable they could, however, decide to strike a rate 139 cover the same. ,, I, 2‘. “CVIUU uv uv---- Cuun. Touchhurn did not think it would be wise to strike a higher rate. He would like to see the debentures made twenty years instead of five. Mr. Hopkins pointed out that they need not sell all the debentures, but use some of them for the purpose of creating a. sinking gund. ‘E 2; _-.. Reeve Kylie wished to know if it was wise to issue debentures in this way. Why did they not do as was done in the county council; when they found they had a floating debt they decided to retrench and the result was that they had it all paid off now. If the council passed! this debenture by-law it only meant that ‘ future councils would be extravagant d inafew ea‘rlit would have to be' no ugh. t was only some five years since t ‘ council started with a clean sheet. 3 f they always done this where would tthey and. One council wiped 011‘ the debts THE FLOATING DEBT. by adding to the debenture debt, and other councils came along and heaped up another debt. It was high time the council put their foot down on this sort of thing and showed the people that they were determined to pay their way. He would vote against the motion, but would favor a scheme to strike a rate to cover some 32,000 of the debt and m fu'ute councils act as they thought best. This council mu_s_t pay its own way. ,1, Conn. Todchburn said the people would object to any attempt to increase the rate. It was alright for Reeve Kylie to point out that the council should put the'r foot down on floating debts of this kind but the time to have done this was when they were made and not- let it heap up and have one council forced to meet it. The people Would not stand the increased rate. Coun. Winters pointed out that in the list which went to make up the floating debt that there was an item of $35,001) for waterworks rate which he did not: think “as right. This rate had been paid. and was not now a debt and he failed to see why it was there. Then there was the $1800 claim of Mr. Bradbum, which was not yet settled and it was not known when it would be and he could not see that it was necessary to Include it as a floating,r debt. - y I i A! . .1 V. _____, v _ Clerk Knowlson explained that the water rates were due on first January and first J uiy, and While the auditor’s report was on‘.y up to the 315t December they had included this debt, but for what was m he could not tel}. Mr. Hopkins pointed out that when the rate was struuk to cover this debt it Could not be termed a floating debt. Cd t. Crandell thothb that it was not: riqhtp to blame themsel 'es for what Was. not their fault. The tram had in the last few )ears undertaken lurre Works in the Way «f electric lights and “hid. .zdded to ti‘ eir annual expenditure. Tl: present council were not to blame for the faults of its predecessors. It was the proper thing to issue debentures. for the people would nor. stand a levy for this debt. If they done so the people would say that thev were not business men and he thought they Wuuld be right. ,. u. Mr. Wintezs pointed out {hat the rail- vav xate wouid go out next year. The resolution was then put and carried. Some little discussion then fullmvod as to What t11e.unm.nt of the debenture by law would be and it w 3 finally decided to place it £88100, which Would. cover u') some 0: her minor expenditures. A SECTIONAL CRY. Moved by Cuull. Curtin. seconded by Coun. Gillogly that x. u are old planks are taken out of sidewalks and replaced by new ones they shall 1f used again, be used m their own ward. Mr. Cut-tin: taxed i: 100‘ ed as if the east ward was being used as a dumping ground for the nlda plank, and it was creating a good deal of feeling in the ward. Mr. Touchburn did not think such a motion should pass. He explained the manner in which the old plank were cut up for three foot sidewalks and which would not be suitable for four foot walk- ers. He had nothing to do with it, and simply left the matter in the hands of the street inspector, whom the council and people knew was the best man they ever had. The walks made from the old pine plank was superior to the hemlock plank walks. The inspector was heard relative to the matter and claimed that in no case did he put down walks that were not substantial. He also claimed that there was more old planks used on principal streets in the north and south wards than there was in the east. The resolution was carried. OBNOXIOUS WEEDS. Moved by Deputy-reeve Robson, sec- onded by Coun. Gillogly, that the chair- of streets and bridges be instructed to ‘have all obnoxious weeds on the streets destroyed at the earliest date possible, and that the clerk give notice to that effectâ€"Carried. Moved by Reeve Kylie. seconded by Dep-teeve Robson, that the members of the court of revision be granted 32 per per day for their services.â€"â€"Carried. PETITION. A petition was read from J as. Wilson, objecting to payment of taxes. for remove] of sidewaik and street sat-inkling. ;Referred to the street an'd bridge committee. Capt. Crandell asked if it was the intention of the council to dispose of any portion of the queen’sequare property, as a gentleman was dean-cu: of purchasing the house and lo; pear Bopeonja store. m'i‘fié mayor said he had asked the 3p- plicant to submit an offer for the same. The council then adjourned. Special to the Watchman. Wnnnme Emmaâ€"A quiet weddin place a s_h9rt_ distgnce__east ot_ £335 fiBEha} cfiiét week. The par-tie?"
