Harris, after forty years of legal work in Port Perry The painstaking work of Mr. Ebbels has given him an enviable standing in public life, and among his fellow practicioners. He has taken a worthy place in the town life and his judgment in matters of public concern has been most valu- Cp : able. With the many years of good ser- "vice, the circle of friends. has grown, ~ = and a great many will hear with keen sregret that Mr. Ebbels is retiring from "artive life, To many he has been a trusted adviser, and to such the task of forming new business relations is not a simple matter of change. In announcing his retirement to his clients, Mr. Ebbels said: "In arranging with Mr. Harns to take over my practice, I was particu larly fortunate as his eighteen years of legal practice in Port Perry have thoroughly earned and retained un- limited public confidence, and T feel satisfied that my clients' will be safe in Mr. Harris' care." We are picased to know that the change will not rob us of Mr, Ebbels as a citizen, and trust that his health and that of Mrs. Ebbels may be improved, so that they may enjoy well merited leisure after "many years of excellent work.

D, Conant, Ex.-Mayor of - shaw a ; why In an open letter. addressed to 'me and published in some of the County papers, you begin with: . "It was with the most profound re- gret that I noticed your name among those present at the banquet ten- dered a "short time ago to "Bob" Rogers at Toronto; that you were one of the speakers of the evening and that you stated that you had no apology to offer for being' present. I feel that you do owe an apology to every worker and elector uf South Ontario who helped to secure your election in the contest of Dec, 1917" After carefully reading over the above, would it be any wonder if I smiled at your ruffled temper, brought about by your serious illness during the week of the municipal elections. However, let me say, [ have no idea of apologizing to you or anyone else for my presence at the Rogers ban: quet held in Toronto during the clos- ing days of November last.- But I certainly do owe you and some others an explanation for my presence there, Toronto was decply indebted to Mr Rogers for improvements upon their water front-- hence the banqueét--and it was quite natural that members of Parliament representing near ridings would be invited. I accepted the in- vitation because Mr Rogers and I were strong personal friends. Mr. Rogers was also a great friend | of the Town of Oshawa, having placed the sum of $100,000 in the estimates of 1914 for the improvement of the harbour; and, by the way, he The Council of {To get part of the last car of coal, ed have to ki ike: - |1 wonder when I also, having dealt very generously with you in the payment of $i 500.00 [for certain swamp and bullrush lands I necessary for the improvement of the | harbour. Mr. Rogers and 1 both koew that {the amount was excessive, but | rather than delay the wark, the above sum was ordered to be paid. You certainly should have been at the banquet. One word more Have I ever [ hesitated in giving the Union Govern: ment my warmest support in all their war measures. Before closing, allow me to thank you for your very generous support during the election of 1917, and fur- ther to express the lupe that there may be no personal estrangement, however we may differ otherwise. Your "profound regret" would be taken much more seriously had it ap- peared immediately after the banquet instead of allowing two months to pass WM.
