He did not wish to change the, specifications governing Mr. McMa- hon. but told him to have as little overtime as possible. Mr. Baboock was so positive that the top dress- ing would adhere to the underdressâ€" ing that he would pay for a block if it was a failure. Mr. McMahon had repaired the walks in the town in this manner and they spoke for them- selves. He did not wish the council to blame that gentleman, and inso- far as the chairmanship of the Board of Works Was concerned, it did not matter to him in the least if the council appointed someone else to act in that capacity. The stretches of work may not have been according to specifications, but the work will stand. He had ordered Mr. McMahon to finish up the work, because it it had 'been exposed 36 hours it would be in a worse condition than when he proceeded to add the top dressing. In answer to a query from Mr. Dobaon, Mr. Babcock said the side- '.bJ-‘IL§2 vb}? Mr. Smaleâ€"No; but serious harm may result if the work was done in this manner. The work was suspend- ed by Mayor Wood and in contradicâ€" tion to his instructions, Mr. Bab- cock ordered the work to proceed. I am surprised at him trying to prove that the work is all right. There was absolutely no proof that the work would bond perfectly. One hundred men can be secured who will 'say Mr. Smaleâ€"I am surprised at both Mr. McMahon and Mr. Babcock try- ing to justify their actions. Mr. Mc- Mahon was employed by the council; the chairman did not employ him. It was high handed work on the part of the chairman to override the Mayor. Mr. MoCloryâ€"You are not finding fault with the finishedwork. real had been repaired by Mr. Mc- Mahon a year ago and was an excel- lent piece of work. Besides he had built a crossing into Mr. Fred Thomas' garage on Williamwt. lay- ing the top dressing on the concrete. Heavy loads had since passed over it and it had stood the test. Mayor Woodâ€"Do you not- remember Mr. Babcock, that Mr. McMahon agreed to do the work according to specificationsâ€"that the walk would be dressed in its green state ? Mr. Babcockâ€"Yes, I remember that. I want to tree Mr. McMahon from blame. First because of the over- time he was asked to avoid, and sec- ondly because of the danger to the walk from a long exposure without the top dressing. Mr. Smaieâ€"I wanted the work fin- ished, and finished right. Mr. McWatters said the mistake was in not ioliowing specifications. With regard to the top dressing ad- hering to this kind of work, be be- lieved it would, but he would not iadvise people to build that way. It "was not safe. Mr. McMahon should finish the walks every night. There i‘had been something said about an finch of cement not being on the top. Mr. McMahon said the day he 18ft the concrete unfinished it looked like rain. He wanted to put on the extra stretch of- surface, but it rained. He said he was not afraid of the worv done, and that he had not learned the concrete Work today. It had rain- ed over a day and a night on the stretch in question. If he had put the surface on it. it would have been spoiled. Mr. McMahon admitted he had overrun the agreement. He was not craving for overtime on the work. Mayor Woodâ€"You agreed to have the work performed a. certain way. walk in front of the Bank of Mont- Mr. McMahonâ€"I don’t remember that I was to have the surface fin- ished. I saw the specifications when I took the contract. This will not oc- cur again. I will be up every night with my work. Mayorâ€"I will guarantee it won’t. Mr. Smaleâ€"You remember, Mr Mi:- haon when I said to you, surely you won’t leave the work in that form. that you replied. Do you want a. man to work all night ? Mr. McMahon said he understood a committee of the council would be up to inspect the work on the day in question between 9 anle o’clock. No trowel had been put into the work. until after the latter hour. he said. Mr. Babcock told him to go on and he would stand between him and the town. If he disobeyed, what was to be done ? In answer to a query from Mr. Babcock regarding his inspection of the work, Mr. McMahon said the chairman visited the job twice a day. Mayor Woodâ€"It would have been better for you. Mr. McMahon, to have taken my instructions, without call- ing up the chairman of the Board of Works. I am the Chief Magistrate 0! this town and I take the privilege of criticizing the actions of the chairâ€" men of the diaerent committees, as well as any work authorized by the town. It was out o'z'place for you to call him up and it looked as it you were trying- to put'youreell under the protection of the chairman of the Board of Works. I do not wish to override any chairman, but it work is not done according to specifica. tions I have a duty to discharge and I will discharge it fearlessly. It would have been muCh better for you to abide by my instructions. Mr. McMahonâ€"What I wished to convey was thét I would not work overtime. Mr. McWattersâ€"Mr. McMahon has got a lesson that will serve a. good purpose in the future. Mr. McMahonâ€"There was a good inch. and even an inch and a half. the opposite. The Scientific Ameri- can stated recently that a fortune awaits a- man who could make one coat of cement adhere to another. This job Was taken on the under- standing that the printed specifica- tions would be followed. 0n the con- trary they were disregarded and the work done any way that evidently suited Mr. McMahon and the chair- 5 BROOK ST., PETERBCRO Will visit BENSON HOUSE.

Meflullough The Town Clerk in response to a query said the walk on Colborneâ€"st. would ’cost approximately about 14c. or 15¢. a foot. Mr. Dobson â€" If His Worship or Messrs. Brown and Smale can show us any harm done or where the town is losing money, I would like to see it. I don't know if the walk will ce- ment or not, and am free to admit I understood the work was to befin- ished each night. I think 175 feet was quite a little to have on hand ,at 6 o'clock. Of course, if it rained and could not be done that is diflerent. Mr. Howe said it would be better to give Mr. McMahon another chance. He would live up to the agreement. He moved that Mr. McMahon pro- Mr. Smale said this was compara- tively a. very high price. Mayor Wood -- I spoke to men of long years' experience in laying ce- ment, and was informed that walks built in such a way would not stand. These are the men we should listen to. Mr. McMahon should live up to his contract, and the chairman of the Board of Works should see that Mr. McMahon kept faith with the agreement he made with the council. Mr. Babcock â€" Three men that I Spoke toâ€"men who were experienced, said that the walk would stand. In answer to Mr, Smale, the Clerk said the Walks last year cost 11 cents a foot. Mr. Claryâ€"Add the overseer's sal- ary of $3.00 a day to that. _ Mr. Dobson â€" As far as the cost goes, it is too soon to take it into consideration. The work is not fin- ished. Mr. McWatters said Mr. McMahon had admitted the mistakeymade. It would not be wise to be too hard. Give him another chance. and it be tuned. he could not expect to get other Work from the town. Mr. McMahon said he would guar- antee that he would have no concrete ahead. He would stay at night and finish the work. Mr. Babcock asked Mr. McMahon if that style of work was as good as when the surface was laid when the undetdreeeing was in a. green state. Mr. Smale â€" Order. I have the floor. Mr. Smale then introduced a. reso- lution that Mr. McMahon's resigna- tion be asked for. Mr. McMahon said it would be just as good if it was not burn-ed. Mr. Brown said that anything he said at Friday’s meeting concerning the walk he was prepared to back it up. He did not agree that the work would stand. He would not vote for a} contract and then do something, dif- ferent afterwards. The council en- tered into a contract, and it was our duty to see that it was carried out.

At the home of John Glover. who lives a short distance north of Osh- awa. an incident occurred Wednesday. morning that proved that all things that are supposed to be non-poison-. ous. are not such. Mr. Glover‘s little ‘ three year old bah-y got hold of a] lbottle of butter coloring that had‘ been left somewhere within its reach and drank about a tablespoonful of the contents. A short' time after it became very sick. and a. doctor was called and found the child had been poisoned by the butter coloring. This is an interesting case, as butter col- oring is supposed not to be poison- pus. The contents of the bottle com, taining the butter coloring liquid is! to be analized and some interesting: information may be brought out re-i garding butter color.
