COUNT} GRANT TO HOSPITAL And Having No Reprcsentative Councillors Object to giving- Grant, â€" Town Must Help It is a Small One and the App- lication for it Was Severe- ly Criticized NAMED N0 GOVERNOR The county council met last week. The business was chiefly routine. The chief discussion was 11 the fine;- nce committee on Friday afternoon, when the request of the governors of the Ross Memorial Hospital, for a. grant of $500 current expenses. was being considered. A grant 'of $300 Was made on a division of 5 to 7. Friday morning a deputation of the governors asked council for a grant of $500 to pay off a debt of $300 and $200 of probable expenses .before the year’s end. and before the- endow- ment would yield any returns in in- terest. Councillor Johnstonâ€"The hospital must get help from the county, and now, is the time it needs it most, before its endowment can yield any returns. Councillor Grahamâ€"I move that $400 be granted. Councillor Fajrhairnâ€"I second the motion. Dr. Woodâ€"I sympathize fully with the purposeof the hospital ; but the governors have no right to come here and ask for aid on any ground. I an expect that this council would he called upon to assist the hospital; hut I did not expect that the de- mand would be made the Very day after the institution was opened. I must say, that speaking as a member of this council, my personal dignity was hurt b]: the way in which this council was treated in connection with the opening. Every member should have been taken into consideration. As it was, even to' the address presented by the warden, was not submitted to council for its approval. The least that could have been done was to have it laid before us before it was read by the warden, as on the authority of this council. The town of Lindsay will get more benefit from the hospital than any other part of the county. Why not ask it for a grant. It is the evident intention of the town, and thwe especially interested in the hospital, that this’council shall sup- ply the water to run this mill. We should give a liberal grant "to the hospital at some time. but we should also know whege we are at. , Let us not dribble out grants now and then, and after all have to put our our hands into our pockets and pay for the maintenance. I am ready to meet the town half way, but no more. Warden Austinâ€"I am perhaps to blame for what Dr. Wood complains of. As your representative, I was asked to prepare amaddress. I left it to Mr. McNeillie. 1 am sorry I did not summit it to you before I I read it. The request for money is not a. serious matter ; we can come to the rescue now, and our successors can do as they please. The hospital is a good gift, and the people will not find serious fault if we make this grant. " Clerk McNeifiieâ€"I may explain in; reply to what Dr. Wood has said, 3 that the address read by the wardgn - “One of my daughters had a terrible case of asthma. We tried almost everything, but without re- lief. We then tried Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral and three and one-half bottles cured her.”â€"-Emma Jana Summing“, Langsville, O. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral ccrtainlycures manycasms of asthma. And it cures bronchitis, hoarseness, weak lungs, whooping-cough, croup, winter coughs, night net an address from‘the county m 090's! 'a memorial hospital heated here. It will receiua paticnts from any fothor county the same as from this 3 one. I do not see that we have any tspecial Obligation. 3 Councillor Shaverâ€"It is a princely lgift to be sure, but we have already given $1600 to it, and if we give $500 more that. will be $2100. ;Now that would be more than a 'year’s charge to:- a House of Refuge, *and yet the people voted down that institution. In the face of that I Â¥do not see how we canmake the Evote. Will the ratepayers not take offence and take members next~year opposed to the hospital. and thus do .it more ‘harm than good in. the long read it. because he is the county's chief omcer. It. was not submitted to council, nor was anything said in it. which purported to come (tom the council. Thus the council was left perfectly free to take any action with regard to the hospital that. it. might. see fit. council, nor was it intended as such. It was an address on behalf of tho county and the warden was asked t_o Councillor Bryansâ€"The town will do its Share ; bvt the other parts of the county should do something for the business men of Lindsay have already given largely. The town will do its share. Coun illor_Ro‘;e’z-tsonâ€"I favor make ing a grant.

Councillor MrGeeâ€"I hospital Was going to the conty, but I see i Jun Councillor Grahamâ€"Lindsay has subscribed ten or twelve thousand, and is a part of the county, and will hen 8 pay her share of any grant made. I think that next year Lind- say will ask to be exempt from the county rate for hospital purposes, and make its own grant. Dr. Woodâ€"Mr. McNeillie’s explan- ation about the address is pretty satisfactory. I will say, hoWever, that sympathy is a. good thing for a man to have. When the House of llei-uge“ scheme was up, I was in faV'or of it and advocated the best. I could. But business is business.‘ It in all Very well for Mr. Fajrmirn in his enthusiasm to be willing to pay everything ; but the people will ask if it is businessâ€"like ; they will set aside sympathy and want to knew where they stand. I! this institution is to be wholly a charge upon the county, let us know it. Mr. McKenzie of Toronto is one 01 the largest ratepayers in this county and his contribution oflâ€"sets that of any Lindsay man, and largely ans- LfiL' Cuuu Ly.

There are many temperance people who for various reasons may not vote. Some resent the natural of the government to assume responsibility, some question its good faith, some do not lbelieve in prohibition, and some {ear the law could not be en- fiorced. Other considerations doubt- less obtain as well. but us suppose that such motives are so generally operative that. on December 4th., the “Yes” votes shall not simply fall short of the fixed standard. but shall be actually in a minority of the votes cast. What will be the rault'l Will parliament simply say that that particular mtasure was deteated. or will the leaders of both political pne- tia infer that, not simply prohibi- tion sentiment. but restrictive sentiâ€" ment as well is weakening ?
