THE be money to Build then has Been} Voted by Coancl (The Drillia Packet) A special session of the county council was held last week, to pass finally the byâ€"law to raise money for county roads. The delay was made necessary by some Medonte ratepayâ€" ers having raised the objection that the former arbitration was not pro- perly made; also the claim had been advanced that the byâ€"law should be submitted to the people. But the legislature had not contemplated ‘this, and amended the act to make the meaning clearer. The byâ€"law was finally passed. The legislature at its recent ses- sion having amended the act so as to prevent any of the government road money being spent in towns, the county council decided to make a special grant of $5,000 from the gen- eral funds for the purpose of connect-g ing the county roads with the mar- kets 11) urban municipalities.

Kent- st was as yet practically untouched, and a bridge costing at least $3,000 must be built and granolithic cros- sings put down on Kent-st at a cost of say $1,000, where the old ones were taken up. These things made it evident that some money besides what had been provided for must be raised. Then last year’s deficit of $3500 ought to be paid. These things all together made council con- clude to submit a-bylaw for $12,000. That much money would pay the sums mentioned and leave over $4,000 to be used on the streets. The bylaw will be submitted on Sept. 11th. If it is defeated, the council will add two mills to the rate to provide for the bridge and crossings which must be built.

Calling to mind the Lindsay-st gong that form- erly did business in the lot next to his and disturbed his slumbers until someone One night made assault up- on it with an axe, the alderman de-‘ clared that if his colleagues had had as much trouble with railways as he had they would “be a little canâ€" tious.” He had been compelled to unhitch his team at the Cambridge- st crossing after waiting half an hour to get across, and walk home to dinner. “It was your own fault," charged Ald. Storer. Ald. McWattersâ€"The railway people are unreasonable. This inspired Ald. Robinson to de- clare that “you east ward people will curse the day that you let the rail- way get advantage over there.” Speaking Vof trains blocking the track Ald. Storer said it was a. man's own fault. id he waited longer than the legal five minutes. He him- self had asked drivers to pull ahead fin ‘the last rig in a tuner-a1 procesâ€" sion. It was winter ; he got out of that rig. walked foa'Ward to the locomotive, told the driver that if he didn’t get off that crossing in a brief space of time he would take down the figures from the side of that tender and make a case in the police court ; whereat the crossing was cleared. Ald. McCrae said he would rather wait half an hour for a train to move than 2 or 3 days for the law to do likewise. “Where did the company get their clutter!" demanded Aid. Storer. Did theistealit? Ifnottheycould go when they liked. Ald. O'Reilly explained that the company would build a station south of the west hall of John-6t and their proposal was to close that end of the street where so many tracks would be run and run a street south ‘0 Queen from the middle of John-st. Then people living over to the east could get down town without crossing the tracks, and the children from the west going to school could go up Queen and back the new street to the school, and avoid the shunting ground. The people on Caroline-st. had no cause to complain for their children go to St. Paulâ€"st only by tke grace of Mr. W. B. Fee in letting them use his ,lane. aux-ed him that the company would take the street anyway. Aid. Mc- Crae said tiny__d)uldn’t do it. They might cross it but couldn't close it. Aid. O'Reilly's statement that those interested had signed the petition in favor moved Aid. Robinson to deâ€" clare that some of them said the thing had been misrepresented to them. THE NEW STREET NAMED If the new street is opened it must have a name, and aldermen cast about to get one for it. Someone suggested that it be called Richard- st., but Ald. Robinson declared they would never call any railway after him. Aid O'Reilly said that in Col- lingwood the streets were named af- ter Canadian woods, such as BeeCh. Maple, etc., and the mayor remem- bered a place where streets go- ing one way were given the nam- es of women and those going the other way the names of men. C.P.R. avenue was a favorite name Canadian Pacific. The name Beha- pont manufactured on the same prin- ciple was rejected.

To call it after any citizen was a doubtful compli- ment. Finally it was decided to call it Edward after the King. Anybody who wants that name changed can have it done by giving $50 to gravel the new street. When the report of a California ex- pert on the use of oil as a dust-lay- or on the roads of that state, for- warded by Judge Dean and publish- ed elsewhere was considered, Ald. Storer said Dr. Gillespie had seen it used with good elIect in Philadelphia. were so different here that the mine results might not be got.

McWatters by way of interrupt- ing a contemplative silence of the legislators. How to get money, presented some difficulties that how to spend it had not. Ald. Robinson suggested closing up the north bridge instead of building new approaches. That very simple solution pt the difliculty did not proposition : go ahead and. build the bridge but see to it that the last touches were not put on until the 15th of January so that the cost would fall on next year's council. The mayor would not hear of that- He pretax-rad to “face the music" and pay Gnu-W than hand over burdens to their successors. He would ask for $12,000. Ald Haun- der said $10,000 would be enough. The larger sum was approved. The mayor said that they could not buy any more lake gravel at A load brought up that the baseball coach. but. the mayor remarbd that it he wcm to Guelph he could soon make that disappear. Ald. McWatters said the Town Pro- petty would be “in the *hole. ’ mean- ing presumably the orifice under the perforated iron cover in the floor of the hog pen. "Well we are up against it," again remarked the mayor. "The only thing I see we can do is to go with- out the street light till the end of the year." If‘ we don't get more money we must stop all work on the streets. Would you ask the people for money ? _- _ "We are right up against it," said the mayor. “Is there any other de- partment we can get money from ?" Other chairmen said they needed all they had. There was the $1500 set aside to pay on last year's deficit. That looked small. however, in view of the many needed for the bridge. Kent-at crossings and a $3500 deficit of last year. Besides, although only 8600 had been allotted @ the Board of Health 8887 had been spent. 01 $167 for election expenses $130 was already gone, and only $32 remain- ed of the $200 for fuel. The $100 for deputations all remained but 36. That would “help a little" as saith THE HONEY QUESTION. Then came the statement of .eXpen- diturea in the Board 'of Works.

The reasons are so numerous that it would require much space to set them all down ; they are so cons elusive that they would prove, beâ€"1 yond doubt. that to be a farmer is something to be justly proud of. Many a boy. grown discontented on the farm, seeks the attractions and activities of the city. Thousands of ‘them would have been better on if ey stead.

Farming is the forerunner of all industries and arts ; it paves the development and the spread of civi- lization. Daniel Webster once said: 7. The best men have come from the farm. It. is there that the boy is provided with a sound, stong constri- tution that is estimable to him in afterâ€"life, that enables him to out- strip his city cousin in the race of life.

The Orillia Packet is responsible for the following : . To state that it is possible to kill the seeds of all weeds in the soil, and the larvae of all ins«.-cts. by treating it in a certain way in the spring, will raise a smile of incredu- h’ty on the part of the farmer, and Iyet it is true, for experiments con- ducted by the United States agricul- tural department show it can lie done. The principle of the method is heating the Soil to the scalding point. . The apparatus used is a large traction engine which hauls a barrow whose teeth are small steel pipes. The tops of these pipes are connected with the boiler by rubber tubes. When all is ready, the engine moves slowly along the field. while steam, pouring from its boiler into tin pipes of the harrow, is injected at a high pressure into the soil, which is thereby heated to 3. degrees that kills everything living within six inches of the surface. After the ‘ soil has been thus scaldcd. it is cul- tivated in, the usual way. he crops come without a weed and whatever ' insects -appear during their growth are immigrants from the neighboring fields that were not steamed. Ex- perience has shown the soil is in no i way injured by heating ; it is rather. - or improved in futility. by thesteam‘ helium to dissolve plantâ€"toad. The process is coltly. but against theiex-e g: i E E w weeds. The plan is being tried by large mica-gardeners in the neigh- borhood of cities, and may eventualâ€" ly be presented in a shape that will enable the ordinary tumor to nab it to some extent. . .
