Soonherau and he had “tended the municipal convention in Hamilton and had been impressed by the general agree- ment among the delegates that numerous changes were imperative in the laws relat- ing to municipalities. At this juncture Ald. Sootheran produced his official re- port and placed it in the mayor's hands to be signed, with apromise to read it ate. latter stave. Aid.

The market clerk and chief of police pre- sented their reverts for August. Engineer Ashbridge’s report recommend- ed the acceptance'of certain tenders for sewers and walks. Mr. Hayes of Peter- borough who built the first section of granolithic was the favored candidate for the rest of the south side of Kent-st. be- tween Cambridge and Lindsay. The price is 15:} cents per foot and 4.0, 00, and 70 'cts. for a five inch curb, the varying prices corresponding with the different heights required at different parts of the street. For sewer No. 3, which extends from Bond- su down William toWellingtori and along that street to Cambridge and then north 400 feet and south to Kent. Mr. Mc~ Knight of Toronto got the recommenda- tion at $6157. There were three. All related to local improvements. One asked for a stone road on the lane behind the Dominion bank, another for granolithic on Kent-st. north side from William to Cambridge and the third was from Squire McDonnell, asking for a. four-foot granolithic strip on the east side of York-st. to the lane at the rear of Dundas Flavelle Bros. store. These petitions will be scanned by the Board of Works, which in the last case were given power to act. COMMITTEES' DOINGS. The chairman of the finance committee read how his body had considered William- son’s letter for damages because of his horse’s leg being broken by a defective sidewalk. Since the horse had turned the joke on the veterinary by frisking about without a limp next morning the letter had not been preserved. D. Holmes’ re- quest for a rebate of billiard license had been successful to the extent of $15. Acting chairman Jackson read the report of the Town Property committee. It had advised allowing the Public Library Board to meet in the council chamber on nights that it was not needed; had refused the use of the town hall to the piccolo band for practice; had told secretary Robbins, who asks questions about the fire department, that a by-law to get money to build a new E hall was to be voted upon on the 12th inst; i had not favored a new pound, and had accepted Mr. Bol the river {or 3300. At its last meeting the Board of Works came to no decision abontflr. R. Sylvester‘e request. for 8 “3119 of land on Victoria-ave. It fixed on the 27th inst. on court. of revision day tor tho south side of Kent-st.

Sootheran read the promised renort of the municipal convention that the mayor “(1 he had attended at Hamilton. It ex- tended to three pages of type-written matâ€" ter. It related how the Lindsay repre- sentatives had arrived in good condition and got iheir names on the roll before anybody else. A committee whose report was adopted recommended that changes he made in the law so that (1) personal propertv can be assessed without regard for in... uebts owing on it; (2) that when a Col poration has its plant in difl’erent wards the whole shall be assessed at its value as a going concern and notas mere discon- nected sections as under the famous “scrap-iron" decision; (3) that lands can he sold for taxes even though their owner has chattels that are notdistressed; (4) that a delegation attack the local legislature at least a month before its next session, to press for these changes. The meeting also declared that a polling division ought to be allowed as manyas 400 voters; that local improvement rebates should be allowed on land values only; that cities of more than 15000 people should be allowed to elect aldermen by a general vote; and that fruit baskets should all have their capacxty stamped on them. The meeting then organized the Municipal Assocxation as a permanent institution, to meet annually and use means t3 make its ideas prevail with law-makers. Mayor Teetzel of. Hamilton was made president, and the next meeting will be held in London. Ald. Horn asked why the improvements on the plot west of the market had not been made as ordered. Discussion reflect- ing on the clmirnmn of the Town Propertv committee followed. Since, however, he. has been ill the matter was allowed to stand. The mayor said he had hemd that the firemen were complaining because their rubber boots are being used in the sewers. Mr. Pilkie said they had not: been used this year. The commiséioner asked what. is to be done with the broken etcne left over. and WJS instructed that. it. would be needed at various points on the streets, especially on Ridout-sr. Aid. Crandell wanted to know what became of the sidewalk torn up at different places in the east ward. 'Were they going to be left. up? He was assured they would be xeplac:d by planks from Kent~st. o A MOTION. It, was moved by Ald. Crandell and seconded by Ald. Soothemn. theta memor- ial be sent. to the Minister of Public Works asking that the dredging go on at once in the Sougog. â€"Carried. A memorial was also ordered to be sent asking for red and whlbe lights on the swing bridges at. night. SOME OTHER MATTERS These doings were divulged by TRIP TO HAMILTON. Robson's offer of fihe lot by PETITIONS. Rev. Thos. Sndwdon and Wife of Cambray, Have Lately Returned A NORTHERN PASSAGEâ€"TOO FOGGY FOR FAST SAILINGâ€"THE ENGLISH LABORBR .. TEMPERANCE SENT!- MBNT~THE TRANSVAAL QUESTION _CANADIAN NEWS Last May the parishioners of Rev. Thos. Snowdon, Methodist minister at Cambra)’. gave him a well-filled purse and a six weeks vacation. Mr; Snowdon had felt the need of a rest and like a wise man decided on a trip to England, his boyhood home. He and Mrs. Snowdon sailed from Montreal on the steamer Californian en the 17th of June. Regard- ing his trip Mr. Snowdon had a few words to say since his return some ten days ago. “Our journey down the St. Lawrence" said he, “was very pleasant. It is a best:- tiful sail. After we got clear of the banks , the weather “as wet, foggy and cold. I do not believe a fast line can ever be put on that route. It is too far north. The fogs and ice bergs maize fast sailing dang- erous and the river simply won't admit it- So that fast time between Montreal and Liverpool is impossible. We were on the ocean itself about six days. Moville, the first place reached in Ireland, is a verv pretty spot. There is a coast guard sta- tion there. We went to Durham City where we have friends. Our time was spent there and in the northern counties. I met John Wilson, the member for Dur- ham, and also Mr. Fenwick, member for \Vansbeck. He is a labor leader and by his kindness Mrs. Snowd on and I obtained admission to the House of Commons. He is prominent in the seaman’s strike now A on. The laboring men in England have come into greatly improved conditions 0’. late. Organizations are getting them their rights. They take an interest in politics and politics are clean over there. Temperance sentiment is growing, but very slowly in England. A Canadian is shocked every day by the sight of drunken men and women. 'I‘he Transvaal trouble was the great tapic when I was there. Canadian news was not to be got. Africa. took up the columns of all the papers. In fact Canadian publications seemed scarce. I looked all through a large reading room and one copy of the Montreal Witness was the only paper from here I could find. Mr. Chamberlain is a very popular man and the people will support him even in fighting the Boers, much as many of them would regret to see war break out. I went to hear High Price Hughes preach twice in St. James' Hail. He is râ€"vâ€"vâ€" . the peOple’s preacher and a speaker of great simplicity and power. His church is crowded. Of course fine singing and a grand orchestra [help to draw. One sermons was about. John Wesley, but he discusses social and other practical sub' jects a good deal. The workingmen throng to hear him. England looked as beautiful to me us ever. The green grass, great cities, por- fect roads, with their hedges on either side and all the activities of that wonderful country appealed to me with great power us I looked upon them after many years of absence.” Mr. and Mn. Snowdon came back by the steamer Tainin and are both greatly benefltted by their visittothe Old Coun- â€"In the September number of Harper's Round Table, Dan Beard tells the boys how to build and furnish the “Daniel Boone Log Cabin," and illustrates his article with drawings that show exactly the way the work should be done. The stories of the number are “The Mc- Williame Special." by Charles Broughton; 2M] Duel with Yellow Band," by Colonel Cde (Buffalo Bill); and "The Cruise of the Alfarata," by Sophie Swett. There is also a stirring war paper, "With Cnpron at E1 Caney,” and another instalment of the “Adventures of Gavin Hamilton." â€"Mr. John Kendrick Bang-I has never written anything more thoroughly amus_ ing than the first chapters of “The En. chanted Typewriter," which is now appear- ing Harper's Weekly. In it Mr. Bangs again ventures across the Styx for his ma- terial, and a number of the famous “shades” whom we met in the “House boat," are introduced. Mr. Bangs'etory will he followed by a romance entitled “\Vith Sword and Crucifix," by E 5-»Van Zile. The first instalment of Mr. Van Zile’s story will appear early in September- It will run through the winter months. â€"Never has the practical UStfful'JCSS of Harper's Bazar been more thoroughly proven than in its recent numbers. Among the most useful features may be mention- ed Dr. Grace Murray's papers on “First Aid to the Injured," Mrs. Bird’s lessons in “Bonnet Trimming," and Miss DeForest'e letters on the European fashions. There is always a plentiful supply of short stories, and Brander Matthews’s novel, “A Confl- dent To-morrow,” which is still in its early chapters, promises to be one of the most interesting studies of life among New York's artistic and literary set which has been written. â€"One of the most interesting features in the September Harper's is an article en- titled “Behind the Pink Walls of the For hidden City," by a writer signing himself “Cathay." It tells as none of the press despatches have told, the details of the drama which has been played about the Chinese throne, and throws a new light on the character of the Dowager Empress. The number also contains a powerful article by Mark Twain, in which be dis- cusses the present position ot the Jews and its underlying causes. Other valuable features are: Leila Herbert’s article on “The First American, his Homes and Households,” short stories by Seumas Mac- Manus, Frederic Remington, Wilmot Price, Brander Matthews, and W, B, Vanâ€" Ingen. There are also further instalments of "Their Silver \Vedding Journey,’ “The PrincessiXenia," and Dr. Wyeth’s “Life of General Forrest." A'YISIT T0 ENGLAND Books and Magazines.
