IT WAS ON TUESDAY NIGHT-A STROKC DBPU EATION FOR THE LOCAL LINEâ€"WANT ONLY A PAIR FIELD. â€"MR. SCOTT OF THE BELL CO; POINTS OUT DANCERS. On Tuesday night a joint meeting of the council and Board of Trade was held to hears. deputation representing the Vic- toria Telephone Company set forth reasons why they should notbe excluded from this town. The company has a good many miles of telephone connection be- tween the villages of the county and want to connect them with Lindsay. Their deputation was composed of Messrs. C. B: \Veeks, Jos. Eyres and John Campbell of Woodville, and Robinson and Sinclair cf Cannington. Mr. Scott of the Bell Tele. phone Co. was present and spoke of the g efficiency of the service now provided and poznted out sundry evils that have else- where arisen as a result of a dual system. Alderman Jackson occupied the chair. At the outsec Mr. Hugh 0 Leary outlined the proceedings of a former meeting for the benefit of the wish ll'g deputation. Mr. C. E. Weeks then addressed the meeting. The trend of his remarks were as follows: I am not here as the solicitor of this company, but as a stockholder. I wish to present business reasons to business men why we shouid be granted pvrmission to come to Lindsay. We ask no favors, but only a fair field. It has been reported that this cc-ru pany is trying to sell its stock by promising large dividends. That is not so. At the outset . our Object was simply the. convenience of villages not comiected by telephone. We still have that as our chief aim. We are not a rival of the Bell people. They have no connection with m-.st of the places we reach. We hope that even where they do leach we shall be able to give a more prompt and effective service, for by tea: on of the volume of their business it is ultra necessary to wait for an hour to get the line from one place to another. Our system will shortly embrace Argye, Sutton, Lorneville, Grass Hill, Cambrny, Oak- wood, Woodville, Little Britrin, Beaverton and we want Lojorn these who L ndsay - which we regard as the bus nests centre (f ’ all these. Most- of the places named are already connected. We expect our system to be of great convenience to farmers and numbers of them intend putting instru- ments into their houses. We think it would increase the business of this town, «and be of immense advantage to the places named.

In vain did the mayor point out that as the by-law does stand till another super- cedes it and Ald. Jackson explain that the police are under instructions about its enforcement, and Ald. Sootheran venture that the citizens‘ committee recommend the present by-law in the meantime. All was in rain and after a fiery oration the is a rigorous, oppressive by-law, and ahardship on the people. Then pointing to Ald. Sootheran who was remonstrating, he cried, “Yes you and Ald. Jackson want to cut the people’s heads 011’." Both gentlemen dis- claimed the sanguinary desire and the report was adopted amid darkling glances and muttered protests from Alderman Crandell’s quarter. THOSE STREETS. When it was proposed to read the by-law to close Duke, Sioux and other streets named at the beginning of this report it was generally agreed that it would be an injustice to the pecple affected to read it. Mayor Walters was very definite in his remarks, holding that the fullest oppor- tunity for discussion should be given, that Mr. Tiflin of the G.T.R. should be present and that people on these streets should be reimbursed for any damage entailed if the streets were closed. Those interested are requested to appear at the meeting or council to be held next Monday night. THE COMMISSIONER BY-LAW was read three times. It is as follows '. 1. That James Graham, John D. Fla- velle and Geo. McHngh be and are hereby appointed commissioners to supervise the expenditure of the thirty-five thousand dollars to be raised under by-law N o. 848, for permanent improvements on streets, high ways and water courses. 2. That in the event of the death of any of the said commissioners, or any of them becoming incapable or refusing to act, some other fit and proper person shall be appointed by the council in the place of the one so dieing or becoming incapable or parents teaches a lessson which should b a model for children in regard to their behavior towards their parents. command of Godâ€"honor thy father and d thy motherâ€"and one that cannot be touched upon too often. a matter of fact our Our divine Lord in his Obedience to his we will come to Lindsay if the franchise is granted.
