Malinda. Before the ordinary. business was proceeded With Mr. W. Steers «as heard re the write up of the town for the Trades Review. vHe-had brought the matter‘before the old Council but they had referred him to the new body. 7 What he desired was that council should bear the expense of the eleCtros with which the article was illustrated. Many merchant: were advertising their firms in the Review, and he thought that taken all together it would prove a good advertising scheme for the town. The electros cost him $15 and this was all the expense he asked of council. just what he was out of pocket. Mr. Steers was informed that the matter would have proper considera- tion during the evening, and that he would be notified of council's de- cision. a v u" av. Ald. Eyres: “You can‘t keep the cars off the Sylvester siding, they are loading cars there all the time. Ald. O'Reilly asked the‘town solic- itor why he was taking other grounds now in the matter. By his argu- ment he was apparently favoring the granting of the application. There was the same traffic from Midland to Peterboro, yet Peterboro was pro- tected far greater than we are: Is human life cheaper here than in Pe- terboro . Mr. G. H.. Hopkins. contmumg, said that there must be no cars left on the Sylvester siding and no cars left shunted on Lindsay-st so that people could have a. clear view of the track when approaching from either direction. If this concession was granted to the G.T.R. he thought council should ask for gates at Lind- say-st . ‘7». llv- v. Mayor \‘rooman. stated it had al- ways struck him that the traffic in Poterboro was far more dangerous than in Lindsay. Ald. O'Reilly said that no permit. men had been used at the crossings at all, only spare men; He heard on the best of authority.that during the month the tally had been taken, that one of these watchmen had} been asleep the whole of the night, and that others had been playing cards, and that the number of trains that passed had been guesswork.

The subject of the closing down of Caroline-st., or the keeping of a watchmam at that Crossing was next. discussed. Mr. Hopkins said there were two suggestions he would make. one was to do without gates and let: the watchman suffice; the other was the closing of Caroline-st to ve- hicular traffic but to be left open. for passenger traffic. He thought it would be a good thing for council to take a walk out to Caroline-Se and- discuss the question on the ground. ‘ Ald. McFadden did not believe in all this unneCessaPy fuss and expense. The town had had enough of this last year, wasting money on such matters. Aid. 0 ’Reilly (sotto voice) ",Oh rats.’ Ala. McFaddenâ€""I have a perfect: right; to express my opinion in this matter.

He believed in economy as a motto for the coun- cil, but he alsmbelieved in progress. The time had passed when wheat- {was the sole product of the farmer.

Sentiment must be put on one side and the appointment must.be made from a business stand- point. It was avery rare [quality in a man to do the work of assessor in a proper and thorough manner. Mayor Vrooman asked if it had been Customary to put a card in the paper. Some, would say they would have been a applicant had they known. Those who were hottest a!- ter the job were not always the bat. He thought the appointment of two good men very necessary. Ald.
