Reeve Crandell replied that he would do so not later than next week. THOSE s’t‘oxlis AHAIN. Reeve Crandell found fault with Coun. Touchhurn for allowmg stones from the streets to l)C carried oft by difterent people without any pay being received for them. Coun. Keith also found fault with the street and bridge chairman for the same reason and thought that action should be taken to recover the priCe of the stone. r-x1.\:v‘\-111 lxi; dl‘ilfln in Ll“ ‘Illuw v. -0- Conn.

Touchburn explained his action in connection with the matter and denied selling to a person named by Reeve Crandell. He had no desire to Shirl; responsibility and took it for granted that all the stone taken had been paid for. That drawn away had not been measured and he was informed that the stone referred to was of no use to the council for putting on the streets, as “the devil himself Could not break them.” There had been a lot said about these stones and very little about certain other matters of far greater importance to the public, regardingr which he might have i something to say later on.

Reeve Kylie asked if the chairman of a committee Could not expend a limited sum without instructions from the committee? The mayor replied that the limit was $5 and Coun.

The Mayor then declared the discussion closed and called for reports of cmnmittees. ‘ Reeve \Valters asked permission to make a i luv remarks. lle felt cnnlident that Mr. Tmtchburn was all right and that there was nothingr shady about his action. lle also pointed out that in 1886 a resalution had beea ptuwd "y the council and had never been rt- pealed requiring that the clerk should receive ‘ all tenders and that the same should be opened in the presence at" the members of the com- mittee and the tenderers. If that course had been followed in the present case, all this cmnldn and talk would have been obviated. mince and the tcndcrc hccn followed in the trouble and talk woul 11c suggested that in f strictly adhered to. SIYlCUy itUHCILu Lu. Conn. Touchhurn, was attorded time to make an explanation. He was perfectly satisfied to pay for the work done on Russell-st. out of his own pocket, if after an inspection of it, the members of the committee were satisfied that the work “as not well done, cheaply done and was not urgently required. POLICE REPORT. Conn. liillahy read a report from the police 1 committee stating that several complaints had been made that the chief constable had been ofi’ duty on different occasions without leave and as the complaints were found to be correct, the committee recommend that the mayor suspend the chief for one month. The com- mittee had also checked the reports of the chief for April, May and June and found them correct in every 1articular.â€"The report was adopted. THE CARTERS ANl) LIVERYMHA. Mr. I). R. Anderson, on motion, was heard. He appeared on behalf of the carter-s and urged the council to adopt the schedule of rates prepared by the carters, as they did not ccn- sider the rates embodied in the by-law to be sufficiently high in many respects. The carters also objected to some other minor clauses in the by-law. He suggested the formation of a committee to confer with the carters. ' Mr.‘ Albert Jewett, was heard. He com- plained that the llvery license was excessive, when compared with the rates charged in neighboring places. He also felt itagrievance that liverymen could not run a carryall, on big days. under their license. ‘ ‘ ‘ r‘ , inland“ pnnnnrlml luv Conn, (layS, LUluCl Lllbll lAp» ...... Moved by Coun.

LINK PINS. The mechanical men are just hankering for the return game and they state plainly that if their old boss, Mr. James Storer, had umpired the game, that they would have more confidence in them- selves. They also have the consolation of knowing that the other fellows had an extra innings, at any rate. Brakeman R. Greenbury caught a four pound lunge. the biggest catch cf the'day. Ditferent parties made good catches of bass, a UFO pounder being the heaviest. Sandy Laidlaw was boss of the ballast on the Crandella and saw that the boat was kept in proper train. Railway men are essentially family men. The lower cabin was literally ‘ packed with baby carriages. The company fixed the trains so as to allow the greatest possible number of men off for a holiday. Roadmaster Ferguson was one of the big guns and lent his aid in making everything a success. w Wm‘fl Ffirt \- ‘L ‘ -â€"Aâ€"'A man *‘13 Totals Totals BVUl’uqu u- VVVVVVVV Mr, Galvm sad the crowd was the quietest and most jolly that visited the island this season.
