Among them was one providing for money to build granolithic walks on William street between Colborne and Durham streets. But the most important one was that placing the police force under a com- mission as provided f r by statute. LETTERS Enzineer Ashbridge wrote that at pres- ent the inspector of local improvement works gets three Pr cenr of the cost, but now that small jogs ere being undertaken some other method of paying him will be necessary â€"-}::inanee; The Ov'ven Sound Board asked council to join it in protestimz against Dominion aid to a new railway between Toronto and any Georgian Bey qut.â€"E_‘i_nance with power. Solicitor Hopkins said that in the inatter of the Bank of Montreal and a mistaken registry of lots in the east ward there was no doubt a mistake had been made. He did not think the bank had any case against the town but the mistake might as well be corrected. It was ordered that a copy of the letter be sent the bank solicit- ors. Mr. Hopkins wrote also about the local inipro enients at certain points. A ~Jas. Bogue tendered to do the iece 0f granolithic on the east side of ' illiam street between Kent and Russell for 13 cents a foot. One of Mr. Hop kins’ letters had said that Mr. Hayes would do it for 15 cents. Aid. J acksonâ€"I am sorry that Mr. Bogue‘s offer has come i1 as it has.

He alvo sa (1 that the subsoil should be taken from the surface of the streets that have been dug up or else the mud will destroy the good roads by pick- ing up broken stone on the wagon wheels. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES The Board of Works had considered Mr H. J. Lytle’s request that the Kent street granolithic extend past the front of the Ontario bank, and granted it. B. J. Mc- Laughlin‘s letter about the drain from Victoria Ave. to Lyle's tannery is in the hands of the chairman. Contractor Hart- nell's suret=es were accepted. G. H. Bayâ€" mond's claim from broken wagon was re4 ferred to the solicitor. The _san_itary drain -v-- V\- -v v..- on Kent-st. north side, will be done on the initiative plan since two-thirds of the roperty holders did not petition for it. A etter f1 om P. Curtin complained that the broken stone is interferring with swing- ing the bridare. The commissioner had told the committee that the trouble had gheen remeded. Mr. Alibe ti’s request for a croes ng wm referred to the commission- er. Jam Boiue had asked to be allowed to use the fine stone cruehed by the town. for granolithic. This was granted at $1.25 a yard for ordinary and cost price for granite._ A ’1‘ A 1--.} _AAAM A“... The Finance Committee had recom- mended that John Parker be sent to the General Hospital.

EDENâ€"MARIPOSA A large crowd witnessed the base- ball match on Laturday between the Eden and Pelcsnlne teams. The game was a “snagging” one, Palestine coming out second best. Prouse held Palestine down to 7 runs in 6 innings, and had two runs and none out in the seventh, when he wrenched his arm. Hutchin- son replaced him, but was pounded out of the box. and chketn finished the tuning, Palesbine scoring 8 runs, For the visitors C. Campbell and A. Graham put: up the best game. The fielding of the locals, with one or two exceptions, was wretched. Mr. R. Osborne of Peniel umpired, to the satisfacblon of both teams, Score by innings : Palestine ........ 1 0 2 1 0 3 8â€"15 Eden ...... . ...... 0 3 0 6 12 4 *â€"25 Much credit is due to the young ladies of Eden who so kindly provided tea. for both teams aft-er the game. After the baseball match, while Mr. N. Kearns of Palestine Was turning his buggy around to go home, the top caught in a tree, and the horse becom- ing frightened, ran away. Happily no one was in the buggy at the tune. The rig was turned over three or four times, the top and seats were broken off, and the horse, lesving part of the harness with the buggy, broke away. The horse was caught a. short dxstance away, and Norton rode home on horse- back while the buggy was tied behind ,another one. Moral : Don’t feed too Imany oats, Norton. Remember the anniversary service next Sunday afternoon ob three o’clock and the tea on the following Tuesday. A good program will be given on Tuesday evening. In the afternoon a. game of ball will be playedâ€"Lindsay Collegiate Institute vs. Eden. As this is the return nintch. and Eden only defeated the Collegiate boys by a. small Ecore in Lindsay, the game no 'doubt will be inure-ting. THE WATCHMAN-WARDER: LINDSAY, 0N1: LITTLE BRITAIN MEETING A BIG LINER UncldSam Grants Few Request: For Passes 'on the Revenue Cutters Which Go Out to Meet ti.- - Steam- .hips From European Ports. When it is generally understood, as it generally is not, that fully 300 persons make application daily in season for passes to board incoming ocean steam- ers from revenue cutters and that not more than 2 per cent of the requests are granted, it may be understood how valuable the treasury department con- . siders these privileges. The occurrence is rare, but is nevertheless legal for the master of the ship for which a pass calls to refuse to permit the holder to heard his ship. All revenue cutter passes are issued by the collector of the port and must be counteiswned by the sum or. The revenue of every country on dutiahle personal effects depends for its volume on the ability of the customs authorities to have them duly listed and taxed on arrival. In the event of a promiscuous granting of cutter passes it would be possible for a certain dishonest element that is to be found under every sun to meet inâ€" coming fricnds down the bay and sur- reptitiously bring ashore at the pier valuables purchased abroad. The treasury department trusts few, a fact that has increased Uncle Sam’s revenue a great deal, as the majority of the boarding officers know. Recently the holder of a pass boarded a White Star liner and was approached by a passenger to Whom he was a perfect ; stranger. The latter said: ZO._. m>m< ._.O mO>mU >2 ECOâ€"$.20 <mmmmr _Z Zm<< <wa w><. “I understand you are connected With so and so. I have a small pack- age here that I would like to take ashore. There is nothing dutiable in it. but you understand how the govern- ment piles it on. I will meet you at the head of the gangway when I get my luggage released, and I will take the package from you.” Not only did this pass holder not take the package. but the first thing he did upon landing was to point out the pas- senger to a member of the surveyor’s staff. who very promptly demanded and received the package. It contained jewelry of all descriptions. That an unauthorized person may not get on board an incoming craft in advance of the customs officials the following is attached to every pass that is issued for the revenue cutter: “This permission is understood to be subject to the assent of the master of the steamship and of the health officer as guardian of the public health, and boarding is strictly forbidden until aft- er the customs officers are in charge. according to the following extract from the passenger act. 1882: “ 'Section 9. That it shall not he law- ful for the master of any (such) steam- ship or other vessel not in distress aft- er the arrival of the vessel within any collection district of the United States to allow any person or persons except a pilot. officer of the customs or health officer. agents of the vessel and consuls to come on board of the vessel or to leave the vessel until the vessel has been taken in charge by an otiicer of the customs nor after charge so taken without leave of such officer until all the passengers. With their baggage. have been duly landed from the ves- sol. When the revenue cutter pass system was originally introduced. nobody in the government employ seems to know. In the old days it was the custom to meet relatives and friends back from an ocean trip on the pier heads. The revenue cutter pass is a simple piece of paper in itself. but is the study of many years and countless number of practical officials. The manner in which it is obtained, the demands made upon its holder. the restrictions as to its use and its composition in every way are the result of innumerable revisions of passes that have preceded it during the last 20 years. and it now omits nothing that will protect Uncle Sam. as it really should do. A few years ago it was possible for all sorts of idlers to gain admission to a pier while the passengers of a ship from foreign parts were landing. This had been the practice for some years, and the steamship gateman had the sole and exclusive right of deciding who should enter. It was supposed and frequently discovered in individual cases that dutiable goods were secretly passed to these friends who came down to welcome the homecomer. As a consequence the inability to get a revenue cutter pass did not make much material difference, the dock af- fording full scope for any desired work in a dishonest way. To protect the purposes of the cutter passes and to place a further barrier around illegal practices the treasury department re- cently made a new rule that admission to a pier during the docking of an in- coming; steamer could be obtained by card only. This admission ticket, like the revenue cutter passes. is not trans- ferable and must bear the name of the holder. the signature of the steamship company and the indorsementpf the collector of the port. The perfection of the cutter pass system as to transfer may be appreciated when it is stated that the beneficiary of the pass must affix his name to the pass on receiving it at the custom house and again when he boards the cutter at the Battery. This eliminates all chance of the pass being transferred. Transfers have been illegally made, but the holder, be- ing unable to furnish the same signa- ture as that supplied at the custom house, was compelled to leave the cut- UU§C, nun wv- Hr- --._ ter, and the pass was taken up. -â€"New York Mail and Express.
