NOTICE OF TWIN BY LAWS. Dr. Burrows gave notice of two by-laws regulating grading and gravelling of streets, and amending the early closing bv-law. ' was 11‘ A JOB? Moved by Conn. Mallon, seconded by Dr. Burrows, that the chairman of the board of works be instructed to have all the estimated work on leading streets for gravelling and grading completed at onec 0n the arrival of the road machinery. Coun. Mellon then touched upon the way the work was done on Kent-st. WeBl and other parts of the town. In the eas: ward they had their broken stone, and he thought they would be better off without it. He then took up the expenditure on Albert st., and did not. wish to be under- stood to be dealing person illy with Mr. Touchburn. as he knew Chairman Gil- logly had to endorse the pay sheets before the work could be paid for. He had not the assistance of a single member as his colleagues had abandoned him. The speaker then read a statement prepared from the pay sheet showing that $75.10 had been expended on the street near Mr. Touchburn’s house. The estimates called for $40 to be expended on Albert- st. He did not blame Mr. Tcuchburn, but it was strange that these mistakes always occurred near the house belonging to amember of this council. Mr. Gillcgly ind charge of this work. Was it fair or square that a chairman of a ccmmittec should expend $75 in place of $40 with- out calling his committee together for consultation. He drew the attention of the may-ir lo the fact that every membtr had thktn the declaration of oath to serve rhe whole town to the best of their ability, old he said it was hard to think that besides the enormity of the crime of kiss- ing the bOuk they were robbing the people of their money. What was the use of a man taking: the oath and then proceeding to have the money of the rate- payers expended in ordlr that his own property may be rolling in wealth. Was it fair to pay that individual, Mr. Rey- nolds, 5c. more per rod for building the same class of sidewalk that othrr people received. The estimates called for a three foot walk, but Mr. Touchburn was able to secure a four foot walk. He call- ed upon the council to stamp this sort of ’hing out and make an example of the guilty parties and stand by the interests of the ratepayers. Coon. Gillogly had no explanation to make. In making their official inspection they did not make accurate estimates of the cost of proposed work. A case in point was the Fee bridge in the east ward which had cost $30 although the estimate was $10. Conn. Malian refuted the statement. as Mr. Fee had offered to contract for the work at $10. The committee had bungled the work and had to do it over again, and finally left it worse than when started. Reeve Touchburn failed to see why any member should talk as Dr. Burrows had done about laying the tile when he knew nothing about such work. He quoted ex-Mayor Walters and-Mr. Campbell as authorities on laying tile. and their plan was followed. Coun. Soother-an would not like to see this motion carried. The work was in (hm-go of the committee and it could not be changed, though he purposed intro- I duo-int», a motion that wouiu take it cut of 9m ’ls' an efficient man at the header made their lands next year. Coun. Mallon wanted to know if they were not going to have anything for their money in the east ward. It was a portion of the town and formed a part of the empire. People from Emily Sltlii that they would not come in Lindsay unless the queen xvi-re repaired. He wanted the grading done in his ward, and if he. fal Cd he wmild fly to get. the law to (mil-re? it. if that would not do he. would get up a live (if lllg-lll‘liri.‘2d tcnlilbtcrs to llcip than thr. lll‘, li. Dru-n eve Gillogy stated he could show that $300 was alrtady spent in thel east ward. 1()Joun. Malianâ€"Like the Fee bridge 30 . Coun. Sootheran had visited the ward and thought that Coun. Mallon had good cause forcomplaint as the broken stone put down was simply a disgiace, and the man who did the job should get two months. I The stone should be taken up and put through the stone crusher. Reeve Touchburn did not think it wan right to assuil the chairman. The trouble was that the committee had not Siliiicii-l‘it funds 3‘ their disposal to make the ini- prnvcments wanted. The motion Was then carried. WEAR}? IMPROVEMENTS. Moved by Dep.-reeve Robson, seconded ‘ by Conn. Baldwin, that the chairman of' town property be instructed to have a piece of timber, 4 x 6, placed on the outer edge of the wharf to keep the water and dirt from rushing over it.-Carried.

Kent and Cambridge, while outlying streets in the north, south and east would not he benefitted. Coun. Sootheran thought that Coun. Mallon was rather premature, and while there might be simething in what he said, he should wait until the by-law was brought in. In discussing this matter with members they had urged him to place his via-Hr} 0“ paper 80 that they would be fyled ant kepr for future refer- 81109. He then outlined his views as fol- IOWs :â€" Since the appexrance of Mr. Campbell, “the good roads cuminnsiouer.“ in Lindsay, the good read: agitation has become the burning question of the day. Mr. Campbell's clever lecture on ronu making recently delivered in Lindsay, has set the people thinking, and as a result of their thinking they have become agitators for good roads and their constaqi and persistent agitation makes it compulsory on this chum: l to take the matter up and endeavor to dens with the question intell'eently and to the best of our 'Il'lllly, and in doing so it. is hoped that no member of ibis couccilwillba inflinnced bv prejudice or by a dc ire to thrust. forward some untricu and unproven system. ‘ Mr. Campbell told us that we must, in order to meet with success. lay down some approved and we! tested man for our guinnnce and comply with it to the leiur He meant by th s that we must. iiisiitut. and insugurate some th roughly tested and “'61! proven system for building stress, and make propel provision for putting in practice whatever svntem wr adopt; this, I think yuu will all figrec with me,i sound adv‘c», and if we hire a. desire to profit by - u- pset experience we ought to sc-mpt it, especialzy when it. 0 rules from we best. authority on roar: making in Ontario. and is given in a. generous spiri- and with an honest desire to improve the c nditi-m o' Ll!" Countrv. Mr. Campbell is a civil engineer with a high reputatiin and a character without ablemish, his integrity where he is best known is fully cscnblish- ed, and his ability as a good road builder is at. the top (I the profession. He has earned his spun; honestly by practical experience and by instituting a system that has produced satisfactory re alts, there- fore. I say. and I sly it sdvisedlv. that the proper iii-stem for us to adopt in the one laid down by Mr. Campbell, especially as it is backed up by his reputa- tion. There may be other plans just as good. and some may look more feasible. but I am thoroughly convinced that Mr. Campbell‘s plan, with the addi- tional facilities afforded us of obtaining access to him when further information is I’OQUI’CU, wrll meet on; requirements in every particular and eventually prove that. we acted Wisely when adopting his system and I trust. that. there will be no two opinions as r: the Idvisnbility of this course, and when on ‘4: adopted let us all, in the interests of the town. uuiic as one man in endeavor-inn to carry out his instruc- tions faithfully, honestly and intelligentiyfio the bur. of our ability. _ I an aware that some are averse to tbs adop rm 0‘ this system, but I have yet but d no argument. to th- contrnry with sufficient merit to weaken my opinion in ragul'd to the adoption of Mr. Campbell's plan in its entirety Objections have been made on th ground of cost. by saying that the system involves too great. an expenditure and that our finances are not in a sufficiently flourishing condition 19 warrant us In adopting such a system.

This howcvi-r is cuiside of the question, but - . itisamzitrcrihat rhould be taken up and agitated . ‘ ' by every village. town and city municipality in Ontario, and it is inst p0:siblc that I may deal with this quc;tion another time at greater length, and in my humble way endeavor to showsi s injustice. not oply to ihe representatives. but to the nunicipn itze... a so A primerly qualified board of works commissioner, bv umrng theory and practic- in road buildii-L'. will accomplish maxnnum results with minimum expense: it will remove the charge of favoritism from much better value for th: money txpcnded uncer his supervision than can i'wsibly be obtained under our pre‘ent unsatisfactory syszem, I trust, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen of the council, that y u will pass this resolution unanimously and allow the council to introduce the requism: fly-law at the next or some subsequent meciim,r of ihii-i council authorizing all streets to be built on the plan advoested by Mr. Campbell.

THE WHARF HILL. Moved by Coun. Baldwin, seconded by D.p ~reeve Rnbson, that the chairman of bond of works be instructed to engage a couple of term a to cut down and level . ‘ ‘ McDonnell’s hill. Reeve Toucl burn opposed this reckless system of gran'ing money. Dr. Burrows said it was alright for the reeve to object to anything that was not at his own door. They had put down timber so that teams could not go on the wharf and the road had to be made. Cum. Bald win said that they had pur chased the laid, and if it could not be used it was no use. Coun.

FAILED TO MATERIALIZE. Moved by Dep.-reeve Gillogly, second« ed by Conn. Baldwin, that the beard of works formulate a plan whereby a system of sidewalks can be laid down on Kent-st. to consist of vitrified brick or granolithic stone. Conn . Sootheran asked that the motion be withdrawn as his by-law would cover it. Dep.~reeve Gillogly, somewhat excited- ly, insisted upon a division on his motion. He objected to Coun. Sootheran trying to ' “rule the roost.” Conn. Soother-an said Dep.-reeve Gil- lozly was out of order as was also his l mo' ion. They had passed a motion authorizing a by-law to cover this point, and why pass another. He thought Dcp. rceve Gillogly had been used pretty well by the council in view of the way he had conducted his department, and he should thank his stars that he got off as light as he did, The motion was defeated. THE BAND STAND. Dep.-reeve Robson exhibited his plans for the proposed band stand on the market square. Moved by Coun. Soother-an, seconded by Dr. Burrows, that the plans submitted by Mr. Robson for a band stand be adopt- ed, provided it can be completed for a sum not to exceed $100, and that the pro- perty committee be instructed to ask for tenders and proceed with the work at once. â€"Ca.rried . 1 The council thvn adjourned. :Ii 5 .. n, "ugly... rum-ow .... . us. , «sir/W, ”w -~ Monacr .. . . ...u' If?" .. 52"th shuts» r_ a nu. . .
