' Council proposed to assist in getâ€" lting the patient treatment at her home, and later at the Gravenhurst 'Free Sanitarium for cons-umptives. SLACKED CEMENT. The other day Contractor McGeo- ugh, found that some of the cement work on the eastern approach to the Wellington-st. bridge was setting too slowly. It turned out that the ce- ment had been partly air-slacked,“ and hence did not set readily. It was got from the Rathbun Company. Waiting for another ear, of cement to get here held the wOrk back for two days, and Mayor Sootheran proposzxd; to make good that loss and that en- tailed by doing the slow work with the poor cement, by docking the company say 50 cents a barrel on the 75 barrels of defective cement. NO HALF-WAY SEWF. RS A petition for a sewer from peo- 1 ple on Glenelgâ€"st., between Sussex ‘ and Bay-tt., led‘ the maior to de- clare against building short sections 1 and Bay-st, led the mayor to dch 1 nelg from the south but does not cross it. The full block, though a long one, would reach to Albertâ€"st. The people on the west end will not sign for it and so the eaSt-enders want it built to Bay-st. The mayâ€" Ald. Cinnamonâ€"This reminds us that we have not a complete hospit- al. I' don’t see why it should not treat consumptive patients as readily) as people who meet. with accidents. LmDSAI’, ONT.;_ THURSDAY. JULY 14th. 1904 “You seem to think we have lots of money,” replied the mayor. “I do not. know whether, you have any money or not, ” went on Dr. Herriman “Here is a sufl'ering fel- low-being with no pi'ropc place to go. It is not a question of money but of right. The county should provide a place. We have a county hospital. From $2,000 to $5,000 would build wings for infectious pa- tients. In the meantime the town has a house that was bought as an Isolation Hospital. Use that.‘ The mayorâ€"It is not fit to be used. Dr. Herrimanâ€"For $100 I can fix up a room in it. the town physician, Dr. Herriman, that she was let stay until he could see the council. Hence his appear- ance before them on Friday night. “The young woman’s family are not in circumstances to take care of ,her," said the doctor; and at anyâ€" rate I shouldgbe very sorry to see a case of lung trouble taken into a home among several young children. Doesn’t this case suggest to you the propriety of providing some accomo-‘ dat'ion for such patients ?” TO PROTECT GOOD ROADS lint was Dr. Herriman's doclera- tion before council on Friday night, whenJiie mquéilt that a consumptive be looked after by the town was met by the objection that there was not money to provide {on such patients. Miss Cunning-ham was taken to the ‘Ross Hospital to be treated as ‘ an ordinary patient, but after she was; there a few days the doctors found out she had tuberculosis. Now the rules of the hospital Iorbid consump- tive patients being admitted, and it was only' at the urgent request of “It is not a guestion of what you have money to do ; it is a question of right, of what you ought to do.” BUILD WINGS min-"mm“ “9 TAKE IN commons CASES DP. Herriman Urges Gomcfl to take that or some Other Steps to Care for People with Catching Diseases. Thus things went on. . A member or two went out and came back. "I wish you would bring that bottle in, and not disturb the committee by go- ing out so often." growled the chair- man, as he mopped his brow and glowered after another of his colâ€" leagues making for the green baizo doors. {It was all over at 11.20â€" just “20 minutes late." i A timber of our high school boys went camping to-day to Pigeon lake. There has been a couple of horses stolen from farmers recently. and no tidings of them reogiyod. That vehicle was not to take ald- ermen home after their post-session- al refreshments, but for the use of the ma who fights with the sparrows on Kent-st. “One wheelbarrow $3.50." went on the chairman, reading at high speed. "What was that for ?" ‘ “You see it going 'up and down Kent-9L, every day.” “One keg of lager $1. 25, ” put in an irreverent spectator; but, the pea. lice were absentâ€"and the aldermen only wished the item had been cor- rect. “I want to know what I'm buy- ing for this town; and I’ll have those items read or know the reason why,” was Ald. McCraezs retort as he began to chafe a bit under the collar. It was gettingdate, and the weather was hot, but it had to be done. “Wire 10 cents, lime 36 cents, rope 7 cents, nails 86~cents, oil 34‘ centsâ€"” “There are a. good many items but they are all certified to. It's hardly worth while reading them," replied the chairman. “Hold On; read it all,” objected Ald. McCrwe. This is McLennan Company’s ac- count,” said the chairman. “The vouchers are all here. Somebody move that, it pass." “Yw, if it was big enough,” was the expert evidence of the hardware legislator. “flint was cheap en'ough," replied Ald. Cinnamon. “Is that all right for the pail ?" asked Ald. Robinson. ‘.‘I bought a pound of nails for three cents the other, day,” said the mayor. " what nails are worth. His position on the council board prevents him selling anything to the town, but he's going to see to it that those fellows who can, don t get. any fancy price for their stunâ€"hardware any- way. . “Wait, how much a pound is charg- ed for those: bails ?” asked Ald. Cin- namon. Now the alderman is in the hardware business, and he knows Possibly it was a little ruse of the mayor's by which he gave his col- leagues the tip that they are some- ;times too fresh. It may 1:0, 0! course. that aldermcn remember the directions of their boyhood days {or catching birds, and one going to try it .on some of the manufacturing con~ cerns that are looking for locations.

It has been mentioned by both tele- phone companies that Toronto has refused $20,000 a year for an ex- clusive franchise to the Bell people. . of that refusal the News of Monday evening said : “More than:a year ago the Boll ‘ Company offered to pay twenty thou- 'lsand dollars dor five years’ franchise. 'Instead of accepting the offer the Board has been searching for a com- pany that will give a better service at lower rates There could be no objection to that course up to a cer- tain point. But alter keeping up the search {or fourteen months they are not any nearer to what they sought. And yet they hesitate to deal with the Bell Company. Instead of taking- ‘Whgt is manifestly the right course in the general interest, they hang up the question, and lose twenty thou- sand dollars a year. There is no doubt whatever that the proper way- to deal with the telephone question is to make a five-year agreement with the Bell Company. If ever, a second system is installed it should be a. civic enterprise. To franchise! a sec-- ond company would be equivalent, to imposing an additional tax uponthe subscribers." 1- "Upon the broad question of the power of municipal councils under the amended Federal Act, the extrava- ‘gant claims of Owen Sound, that it rests with the town to determine as they see fit, where and how the com- pany shall construct their lines, "seems to be quite unwarranted by the Act." ‘ THE EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE It is well-known that Lindsay town Council has been negotiating with. the Bell Company about granting an exclusive franchise; and that the Machine Company of Peterboro has made a proposal to the town that stands in,the way of that bargain. “The defendants “ill, therefore be perpetually restramed from interfer- ing with the work of the plaintiffs in carrying their wires to their new of- fices under, instead of over, the high- .WBJ- “Any obiection to the work on this ground is purely a subterfuge to Cov- er some ulterior purpose, and that purpose ‘is plain; namely. to coerce the company to pay to the town a tax upon their business, which the tOWn has no sort of right to demand. Their objection to the work is not: made in good faith, but for the pur- pose ultra vires and wholly unwar- ranted.” \ WHAT PARLIAMENT HAS DONE. ‘ “Parliament has clearly and distin- ctly given the plaintifis power to car-v ry their wires over or under public streets, but has made that right sub- ject to certain rights. These latter rights must be exercisedjn good faith, and for a legitimate purpose, and should be reasonably exercised. Instead of that they have been unâ€" reasonably exercised in bad faith, and for a. purpose not authorized within the power of the defendants, so that whatever those rights may be. the company are entitled to succeed in this action. "The road is but a macadan: one, and one that. is often opened far less geyerally useful purpoeofi The company Went on without con- sent, and at a recent meeting of coun- cil Aid.
