At a recent meeting of the Finance Committee of the council some dis- cuss , 5ka place concerning the do- nati 1 j $10.00 to the Garnet fire func 1 His Worship Mayor Wood. It was claimed by some that the grant should have been considered in When the matter came up in the committee report last evening, His Worship the Mayor vacated the chair and stated that he had assumed an undesirable position when he was ap- pointed to dispense the town char- ity. He did not covet the job. There was no glory in it, and ii there was, he did not want it, and would wil- lingly pass it around. He had been appealed to as mayor of the town to contribute to the fund. He had given his mite as a citizen, and thought the town would not hesitate to con- tribute, as the family was complete- ly burned out in inclement weather. The grant, he felt, was not enough, and he hoped the committee took that view in objecting to his action in the matter. He did not think it necessary to ask the council as an urgent appeal had been made to him for redress. If it was the rule of the council that no grants be made un- less the consent of that body is ob- tained, then .the appointment was a farce. The reflections cast upon him in the report, His Worship said, were uncalled for. Ald. Smale said the action taken was not to affect the donation which was not in order, but the committee felt that the prerogative of the May- or to dispense charity should be done cautiously. He should have assured the people interested in the fund that they could count on the coun- cil's help. that payments over a certain am- ount could not be made without b.- ing sanctioned by the council. . Deputy Reeve Dobson said that if Winnipeg. the grant had been made with the sanction of the council, of if the Mayor had said he would bring the matter before that body everything would have been satisfactory. The money has gone out without the cont? : sat“; there being a; c:- tah“? .6 rule bearing on such mat- * â€"_â€"__ BIUSt hr! Mtid M (552218 of LL - Farm for Safe g'mae .4 O HHMH Reeve Babrock said the council ought to have every confidence in the Mayor. The situation which prompt- ed the Mayor to make the grant was one calling for prompt action. 1\ r Wood stated that when the cou- H appointed a charity officer it should state the amount he was not to exceed. The case referred to was an emergency one. If it was neces- sary to go through the formality claimed, the town would have to apâ€" point another member to dispense charity. If the council refused to pay the amount he would pay it himself. Deputy-Reeve Lewis said he was not present at the commiitee meet- ing, but felt that no objection should be raised to the Mayor’s action.
