Backs out “You need not worry ; the Burlelgh POWer will not be here in three ymrs nor five.” That was the inspiring remark by which Mayor Sootheran at Tuesday night’s council meeting ioii'ised new life into the lagging negotiations for bringing to this town the most im- portant acquisitiOn to its assets that has ever been proposed. That hopeful remark was uttered in self-defence against Ald. O'Reilly's charge that the arrangement that the mayor had made with Culverwell' since 'the last meeting of council, promised to return both stock and mortgage oil the power came in three years, whereas the alderman's solu- tion of the case, agreed to by Culver- well ,would promise the return of the stock only. ’ "Oh, you needn‘t worry ; the pow- er Won’t be here in three years nor live' ’â€"-that .- was the mayor’s defence. It looks as if there is an end of hope over the pic cure-frame concern too. After drawing the by-law to provide for the 1oa’r'i”‘or $10,000, and allowing it to be printed, Solicitor Hopkins writes that there is a sta- tute that prohibits bonusing an in- dustry to leave another town. A letter from Mr. Woltz of the concern says he will be down this (Thurs- day) evening and mysteriously adds “Stay all proceedings till then." Likely enough the picture-frame fac- tor-y won‘t make enough product. to go around a group composed of the council and town solicitor. “Horror on horror's head accumu- lates." The Detroit chap that of. fore-d 97 for our town bonds and wanted them, so the mayor Said, for a. widow, suddenly finds that he won‘t give more than 94 for them. He didn’t know the interest came due every year instead of half-yearly and some other things. The ochr of 97 looks like getting gay, and 94 looks like the next morning. Down fell the town’s high hopes, an plan to put the waterwm'ks / in along with the town's at such a cinch. Does anybody around here Want to buy a few backâ€"numier de- bentures cheap ? There was a lawsuit on Tuesday andâ€"perhaps its better to not say anything .more though, for it .didn't come before the council ; but it was about to be explained that Bob. Lindsay beat the town on Tuesday in his suit for the hire of that horse that, the chaiman of Town Property thought he was good-naturedly lend- ing to run on the fire wagon, and that Solicitor Hopkins said the town didn't have to pay forâ€"but they. do This needn’t have been mention- ed here only it is as well to put It in with the other disasters. Alds. McCrae and Maundcr brought in a by-law appointing a taxâ€"collee- tor, but to Ald.

OMBy as hegrasped the big min- ute book open to the place where the motion he gave notice of at the Culverweu meeting, was recorded. ”Wes,” replied the mayor. ‘ Well, .I want to move this resolu- tion saying that Culverwell's stock Should be regarded as separate en. tirely from the mortgage we hold and that if the power is brought) hon; In three years only the stock shall be given up." The mayorâ€"That's all settled. Aid. 0119;] lyâ€"How settled ? When?- The mayorâ€"Why after the last meeting, and on the basis of the former. resolution making the stock a concideration for postponing the mortgage. and promising to refund both stpck and mortgage if power came in three years. Culverwell wouldn’t agree to it that night, but next day he and. Mr. Melaughlin came to my omce and agreed to the terms of the council's resolution. Ald. O’Reillyâ€"But, Hr. Mayor, you ruled that night that my resolution could not pass because no notice of it had been given. At the some time you added to the fonmer resolution a clause of which no notice had been given, and then acted on it to close a bargain with Mr. Culvcrwell. The mayorâ€"“1e rule says amsolu- tion cannot be rescinded without no- ,tice. It does not say it cannot be added to. Ald:'O’Reilly-â€",I should like to see a ruling on that point. I think “resending!” covers all charges in a resolution. The onjcct ofgthe rule is to prevent a part of the council getting togther and undoing' or tinkering with legislation adopted in full council before. If it allowed all sorts of additions and amendments it would be useless for if you let us make enough additions We can spoil any resolution. I think you could not legally act on the addition made at last meeting without notice, and 'I think that my motion of which I gave notice is the only method of settlement now in order. The mayor held to his action. "W011 Mr. Mayor, you \xi'l notice too that the arrangement you made promises to give back both stock and mortgage if power comes in three years; my motion says that only the stock should be given back. and Culvcrwell agrmd to that. Now if the power comes we shall be out the mortgage," said Ald. O'Rcilly. Then came the. mayor’s announce- ment recorded at, the first; “You needn’t worry ; there is no danger of the pdwer being here in three or‘fivc years." NOTES 01“ THE SESSION. â€"The G.T.R. want to put in un- other' siding on Durham-st .o faciliâ€" tate loading cattle. “Solicitor Hopkins advises apâ€" pointing a committee to [m‘scnt to the Railway Committee of the Privy Council the town's demand for gates at the railway crossings. â€"The opposition of lids.

The minister. re- plied ‘gthat the local authorities should act. promptly. â€"'I‘hc Canadian Manufacturer said it had put Lindsay on its list of towns that {Wanted new industries. It would keep it there for $5 a year. The mayor curiously argued that the offer. referred to the $300-a-year ad in that paper-,1, that Culverwell is paying for partially in this town's interests. â€"Mr. Hugh O'Leary, K.C. asked damages for Mr. W. McGregor who was hurt by stepping into an open cellar window area in front of the Dominion Bank. â€"â€"A bill of $4.80 for disinfectant moved Ald. McCrae to remark that you could get a lot of stuff for $4.80 whereat somebody replied : “ If you get! Seagram’s '83, you won't get so very much,” and council adjourned.

' By what system of figunng‘ or clairvoyancy he does . it has not been revealed but during the whole of this season he has dropped in cleverly belowâ€"sometimes a good deal and sometimes just a shaving below, but always belowâ€"â€" competing tenders. On Wed night of last week he captured the construction of the Glenelg and Durham-sits. sewers. In the Durham-st. tender his figure “as $630 as against $785 of another contractor. How such a wide vari- ation in prices occurs is a little puz- zling to the average man. Is it - a difference in figuring, or in the aâ€" mount of profit that contractors want ? Here are the figures :- , Glenelg-st.â€"Lindsay, “585; Mill- er, $598; Chalmers, $55578. Durham-st.â€"Lindsay $740 ; Mill- er, $785.84; Chalmers, $630. ' The 0.13.13. asked for permissic'm to gravel Lindsay-st. north alongside their track. It is so unusual for anybody to ofler to gravel a. street that this ~ offer was accepted, but not without adding that the company must pay for. moving five electric light poles now on the street. That's the way. If any- body wants to build a street for you make them do everything else needed in that locality, or else don’t let them build you the street. One good , turn deserves anotherâ€"several of them. Now that a start has been made, likely people will be comâ€" ing along asking for the privilege of putting a little gravel on those exâ€" pensive pieces of permanent streets that are being let go to ruin by ne- glect, and cut the weeds that furnish; lurking places in which the dogs and cats of this town are rapidly revertâ€" ing to the wild state. The C. P. R. also wanted permisâ€" sion to extend the sidings across Colborneâ€"st., but plans of ‘that must be scrutinized by council before it is allowed. Even if council have no plans, they expect everybody else to. _ The by-law to give the Woltz picâ€" ture frame people exemption and a $10,000 building was read twice. The site promised must. be arranged for in some other way than by by- law. So the law requires. Aid. Storer is aginf that by-law. So much does he dislike it that he re- fused to let anybody else have a chance to vote on it, and in splen- did aloneness held up his hand aâ€" gainst giving the people a chance to say what they think of it. Those people on Cambridge and other streets who petitioned against having the sprinkling cart go past their residences at 5 cents a foot were made an offer of 1; cents. If thqy don’t accept that they can go to â€"- well, where they will be glad to get water at that price. â€"â€"â€"â€"+â€"â€"â€"â€"' ‘. llymeneel. BRYSONâ€"ELMIIURST.

South Victoria Agricultural Society are not among the ens who .believe in the passing of the fall fair. '0! course with the record of the Lindsay Central before their eyes they cannot very well hold such a belief. 0n the other hand they have plan- ned and executed improvements 'on a scale that indicates belief that the fair is to become one of the very greatest county fairs in the Domin- ion and by all odds the leading pub- lic enterprise in this district. During the past few months, with a faith that not everybody was courâ€" ageous enough to fully share the directors have completed improve- ments to the aSSOCiation's property that relegate to the distant future the charge that the accomodation was inadequate. First, more land was bought at the north and the track made into a. half-mile oval. A stable 200 feet by 26 for cattle and capable of holding 100 head has been built to the south of the main building ; and the building at the north has been rebuilt to a capacity of ‘ 32. Along the south and " west sides of the grounds pens that will hold 200 sheep and hogs have been put in po- sition. At the south and west stands stabling for about 100 head of horses. Above the main cattle barn sleeping-rooms for persons tak- ing care of the animals have been built, and the town water has been piped to all the quarters for stock. In all there is now accomo- dation for about 500 animals, be- side the poultry, a new house for which was put up a short time ago. The grand stand has had its capac- ity more than doubled. To its former 7 rows of seats, 9 have been the roof extended in pro- so that now fully 2.200 people can sit comfortably in full view of the entire field, The adâ€" ditional land, extensions, and buildâ€" ings cost $4000 and of that $3000 has been provided. The whole work has been under the direction of Pres. Johnston Ellis, who .in its execution has shown com- mendable energy and a very high deâ€" gree of skill. The fair to be held on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of this month will both in point of exhibits speciall attractions and attendance, no doubt be a record-breaker.
