The law lords hold that the evidence clearly shows that the vmel was us!» ing within American waters at the time of the seizure by the Petrel. and say: “The Supreme Court appears merely to have assumed that the trial judge made a. grave mistake as to the Petrel’s caurse. It would have been easy to apply to that judge to know whether he had in fact made a mistake. rather than leave it to hazard- ous conjecture that he was mleed by a printer's or a shorthandex's blun- der.” The law lords concluded: “In the uncertain and unsatisfactory state or the evidence it is impossible not to ob- serve that it upon the seizure the Pet- rel had carefully logged the distance to shore. no doubt could have remain- ed as to whether the place of. seizure was within Canadian waters. It may be that the excuses given for not do- ing so are valid ones, but the excuse for not having the evidence will not supply the place at the evidence.” Kitty D.

Smythe .will oppose Dr. Yoorman - - Township Nominations. MA‘YOR RAY first thanked them for his nomination but said he was not ,a candidate for re-election. The expenditure of the year was the first subject he referred to. The deficit, when the council took up their duties,‘ was $7618.59, but this was increased to nearly $8,000 by other accounts, and they had suc- ceeded in ~reducing the same to less than 34000. Some of council had thought it better to have raiSed the. rate so as to have paid the whole deficit in,one year, but he thought it better to extend it over a.couple' of years. They could borrow money at 5 per cent. and money was worth? more than that to many of the rate.L payers. Other‘unforseen items had also cropped up that council had had to contend with, and but for these he calculated the deficit would have been $3.500 less. Mayor Ray then went on to speak :of the bonded debt, the total being $439,709.54, whilst the net amount owed by the town was $399,111.72. The council during the past year had been as 1economical as possible, still it would ibe wise for the incoming council to lpractice strict economy. He then repeated the statement made to the old council that ii the bonded debt did not grow at all it would take 30 years to pay off the town's in- debtedness. This was a most serious question. Referring to the agree- ment made with the new gas com- pany which is to locate here Mayor Ray said it was a most reasonable and fair one, and the people would be asked to vote on the same. The assessment of the company had been fixed at $8000 for ten years, alâ€" though the company had at first ask- ed that it should be $5000. The company would pay the full school rate and the assessment Would be reâ€"adjusted at the end of the ten years. Referring again to the ques- tion of taxation he said that they! had struck a. rate of 29 mills, but this was not all .welhad to pay. The council of three years ago had deem- ed it necessary when constructing sewers to put in laterals, and ' these were proving a. great source of ex- Citizens Take a Lively Interest in Nominatons last Friday The genflemen norninated for Mayor were as {allows . WATER COMMISSIONERS. Dougald Sinclair, J. D. Flavclle. Before the names were read out Ald. John O’Reilly aSlced that his name as candidate for Mayor be struck off the list” The speeches may be outlined as fol-lows. The old council “'ch first heard. paying $8.78. but who on account of the local improvement rates, was tax- ed $45, a. rate of 150 mills one the dollar. Another case was that of McLen‘nan 00. who had purchased land on which to erect coalsheds for $550, and who afterwards found they had, owing to these same rates, to pay taxes amounting to $445. The putting in of these laterals was res- ponsible for this : it was a bad pos- ition for the town to be placed in,' VV_- ‘ pense to many citizens. He cited several examples, one a Mrs. Cal- lag' ban, who should for certain prop- erty worth $300 rate of 29 mills be And it had got to be remedied in one way or anfither.

If the incoming council followed in the same line, the future of Lindsay .‘Was exceedingly bright, particularly .50 i1: Dr. Vrooman was elected to the Mayoralty. ua ALD. JOS. MAUNDER said this was his third appearance before them to ask for their support. During- the past year the motto of the council had been “retrenchment." They had endeavored to reduce the debt, taking a little bit off here and there, and the appropriations were cut off in all departments. He had done the best he could; in his own department he had come out with half the money unspent. Whatever council is elected, careful handling is very necessary for the town’s inter- est. All citizens should take an in- terest in the welfare of the town, and should come in an help instead of standing aloof and chewing the rag. The aldermen were-doing a lot of work, and getting no recompenseâ€"â€" nothing for 75 nights devoted to town aflairs. not including number- less hours in .the day time. If our citizens came forward and gave counâ€" cil help it would certainly be much easier for them. ALI).

[fie thanked thetn for his num- ination, and said it was pleasant. to know that. the rate and deficit, had been reduced. Dr. Burrows: “Can you say how much you have raised the assossmdnt this past year; then we can really see how much you have saved." Aid. Robson didn't. seem to underâ€" stand the question asked and Mayor Ray explained that the assessment for 1905 was identically the same as the previous year. ALD. R. ROBINSON was not present. but afterwards ex- plained to our representative, that owing to being dehyed out of town. he was unable. to get the the meet- ing in time. , 'i‘his finished the '1th of the old council and the candidates for honors next year were then called on. the first speaker being DR. A. E. \‘ROOMAN. After thanking the mover and sec- onder of his nomination he said be- cause a number of citizens had urged him to accept, he did accept. It was a position of considerable honor but, he had not accepted for that reason. But these citizens Were men who. felt the burden of taxation. and also felt that .the time had passed now to let elections go by default. Thqv were men who were._anxious to know who were going to he the next council. He had been told he had no right to Shirk the duties of municipal affairs, and because of this he had accepted. if the citizens of Lindsay thought fit to return him he would certainly do all that lay in his power to do the bdst for the town. But let the peo- ple Vote on the matter, let therejbe a contest, let the people say who shall be mayor. He did not believe in pairing up and thus cheat the tax- payers. If the people did him the honor to elect him. he had one pro- mise to make, it was not much, but this he promised, "TO GIVE HIS MOST SINCERE ATTENTION AND CAREFUL CONSIDERATION TO THE MANAGEMENT .OF THE TOWN AFFAIRS.

He was not there that night to criticize the council the)“. had done their best. But he had heard on all sides that so little‘ had been done that it was imâ€" pasaible for them to haw done any harm. He believed in ecmmmy, but to'save one dollar one year to spend $011 the next was not. in his opinion wisdom. Take Durham-st. 60 per cent. of that composition was sand and mud. Well that will have to come on' in the spring; that is a waste of money. A good strong council was very necessary. and sov- Ir. J. Begg's name was callod.:but he was an cbsentee. When , MR. JOHN DI‘KI’. proceeded to take all his com there looked an though there would be some run. He slated tho ('mmcil in relevance to sowor in the smuh “gt-st pcrt ot-the town. of latoru‘ls on the John ItcArthur property. wfiere an extra tax or nine dnllars had been imposed. and then took up the "gran- ulated" sidewalk question. He claim- ed that Chalmers. [ho comractor had been paid (or 280 {0011 of sidewalk more than was bum. that what lho original contract called {or was 12; cents per foot. but that it hadcost .the ratepayers 35¢ per foot. Mr. Duko would have said much more but tho time allowed to him. five minmes) expired. and he concluded by saying- he would be in the field. Mr. J. G. Eyres was ahsvm.

If the people elected him his watchu'nrd would be, "Econâ€" omy and valw {or money spent." He had as they a" km-w another pet scheme and that was tho- and» relating; to tho opening of mu Gull Rivwr s; 5â€" tom, which he was convincwd Would be a grand thing for the town. Mr. J. Bomz’s name was callod./hut on or eight of our best men in town are none too good to represent it. Whate'Ver council was elected they would have his hearty support. Mr. H. H. Rider did not respond. MR. R. ‘11. REAL said he had no idea of being nomin- ated. There were a number of inat- ters he would liked to have address- ed them on. but five minutes were not enough. He was pleased to see so many present. and it was a pity that, a nomination could not be held once a month, it would-be a good thing for our citizens to get better ac- quainted with town aflairs. Mr. Beal then spoke of the gas plant saying that whilst it was a first-class thing {or the town, he did not think they had a right to a thirty year franchise they should receive the same time as others. He thanked them for the honor done him, but declared he was not a candidate. Mr. Wesley Staples askt-d that his name be withdrawn. saying. that as yet he had no ambition for alder- manic honors. Mr. J. O'Roilly asked to be heard again. and in reply to Mr. R. M. Beal re the gas plant franchise said the question had already been thrash- ed out with the Board of Trade. The company proposed laying eight miles of main next year. and during the next thirty years they hoped to make it thirty miles. but. they did not want to goto council any time they want- ed to make any small extension. But their presence in Lindsay did not de- bar any other company coming to town, because the word "exclusive" had been struck out, of the by-law. He then spoke for some length on the sewer question. maintaining that council of the the last seven or eight years were not responsible for the condition of affairs to-day. Of the old council there was only one man who opposed the present Sewer s53- tem and that man was the late Capt. Crandell. Mr. Jos. Staples: "The objection is not the present sewer system. but the construct‘ion of useless laterals." Ald. O’Reilly said the sewer ques- tion was a hard question to deal with: the mistake had been made years ago. In reference to the mud on Durham street he said you could not. get granite of 29 mills. HR. J. D. FLAVELLE uldlthat {or the last Hx years they had honored him by electing him as the commissioner. He was here again seeking their support, and promised if elected he would fill the position to the best at“: ability. and whilst do- ingosowroulh act honestly with the town. It was useless, however, to Dr. Burrows ‘ said that $140,000 had been added to the last assess- ment this year and asked if .A.ld 0 'Reilly would explain how much th council had really saved. Dr. Burrows: “*I didn't, expect to get an answer, You have very cunâ€" ningly evaded the issue." THE WATER COMMISSIONERS Mr. D. Sinclair and Mr. J. D. Fla- velle were the two nominated for this position, but. when called upon to speak Hr. Sinclair was absent. Add.

Hark, Township matters were discussed pretty freely for some three hours or. more, and although some of the rate,- payers could not understand why the taxes were going up, the climax came when Mr. Sh‘aver announced that there was a deficit of $10,000 in the county,. and all who have had any experience in municipal matters conceded that the taxes are likely to‘ go some higher. The by-law‘ to raise $10,000 for the erection of bridges was almost unanimously en-. dorsed. Mr. Channon thought it‘ would have been better to haw: ad-. opted the by-lnw for the good roads scheme, which would include several of the bridges at present under con- sideration. Mr. Powell remarked that the good roads scheme would benefit those on the principal roads, while those on the back roads whould get out of the mud the best way they could. Mr. Minthorn was well pleased to see the mud hole on the main road at East Oakwood, as it would give them a little idea of the mud he has had to plod through all this life. Mr. Hogg made the statement thafl the finances of the township were about $3000 less than at the same date last year, but the treasurer in- forms us that the difference is al- most wholly made up of drainage money on hand at the end of last'. year. - . .u -14 -n.....-:‘l and FOR MAYOR Robert Smythe, Dr. A.
