Second reading '. That fixing the asses sment on the Flavelle Milling Co's pro- perty and on the Dundas dz Flavelle egg house; that regulating the caretaker of the dumping ground; that fixing the height of awnings and providing for the protection of the walks; and that adding a mill to the rate. The Flavelle Milling Co. were last year assessed for $37,000, and the egg house for $4,800. Tcese sums were fixed for 10 years providing the "former employ 40 hands 10 months in the year and the latter 10 hands for six months. The mayor held that the by-law to add a mill to the rate was out of order because money was still on hand in the town property committee for wliom the addition was being made. He favored going on till that was spent and then if necessary add the mill. That was the proper way. Aid.
