The '| present session will probably see the question of the Oshawa separation with all its many details finally set- od, Dy the appointment of arbi- "The. minutes of the January session | were 'gecepted as printed, and then the Council adjourned to accept the invitation extended by the Whitby War Veterans' Club to take part in the unveiling ceremonies of Whitby War Memorial. © The committees are as follows, with the first named being chairman: Finance and Assessment--Messrs. Gerrow, Figary, Spears, Dobson and Ross. Mr. Whattam was formerly chairman: = B| Roads and Bridges--Messrs. Sweet- man, Bott, Cassie, Mahoney, Nesbitt.

Governor Stiner of the County Goal, asked for an increase in salary for himself and Mrs. Stiner, as the num- ber of prisoners to be looked after in late years is so much larger than when the present salary was agreed | upon. Mr. Gerrow wanted to know if the Warden -or the Roads afld Bridges Committee had received any 'further information from the Dominion Gov- ernment in regard to the Atherley Bridge. The Warden had not and | Mr. Sweetman, chairman of the Roads #9 2nd Bridges Committee, stated that | 'report the committee were would carry on the work which is really necessary, but the work cannot be succesfully be carried on with the present levy, which will do little more than.take care of the maintenance of County Roads. Mr. Ross called attention to an- other bridge needing repairs, on the 12th, between Mariposa and Brock ownships, He thought the Advisory, Board might use more discretion in spending money, taking particular care to keep' bridges from becoming in a 'dangerous condition, instead of building roads where the old roads would have served a year or two longer. "Mrs Dobson and Nr. Philp also had a few words to say in favor of re- pairing the bridge of which Mr. Bott spoke. Bringing Wp matters mentioned at the last session, Mr. Downey empha- sized the need of something being done at the Grand Trunk Crossing near Myrtle, also the west bridge at the Base Line, which was destroyed during the detour last autumn, and is in a very dangerous condition. On motion, the usual grant of one hundred dollars was made to Mr. Mec- Millan as Warden of the County. Time was then allowed for the Committees to prepare their reports. The Warden again took the chair at 4 p.m, when a deputation was in- troduced and spoke in favor of es- tablishing a hospital in Whitby, now that Oshawa had separated from the County. The deputation stating that the Council was geod enough two years ago to donate $2000, and at present the committee have almost enough to erect a hospital, having in sight between $18,000 and $20,000. Col, J. E. Farewell left a legacy to the hospital if building operations were commenced within three years. The legacy was $3,000. Mr. Willis in speaking, stated that he did not see, now that Oshawa had separated should benefit by the County grants. If the County could make an annual grant it could probably 'be arranged to have the indigent patients of the County looked after in the hospital at a very low rate. The County receives nsiderable benefit and service from the. County town so that Whitby de- serves a Tittle more consideration than any oth The fueron was referred to the "Comm 3 for discussion when Mr. Forsyth, the | chairman of the Suburban Area Com- mittee reported verbally as to what had been done since the beginning of '| the year. He explained that acting on the advise of the Deputy Minister of Highways he had asked the War- den of Peel County to appoint a sim- ila». committee. in order that the two. might get together fot the considera- tion of legislation. Ly Shall Sessions be Advertised? The committee on printing reported, recommending the payment 'of ac- counts. The Warden thought it was unnecessary to advertise the sittings of the council in all the papers of the county, as the councils were the only people interested, and they were noti- fied by the Clerk. It was an unneces- sary expense. The Council were divided on the subject, a number considering that this was the only way the ratepayers of the County, who might have any business there, could find out about the The was dropped, the Warden giving notice that he would bring the subject up again at a later date. While in committee of a whole Oshawa separation Committee of the County Council, then presented the report of this important committee. There was a very lengthy discus- sion as to the reasons the County and City could not"agree on ceytain items, and the chairman gave the Commit- tee's method of arriving at the set- tlement of the clauses agreed upon. The points remaining unsettled are very hard to decide fairly and have been left to arbitration. The Council gave their views ap- proving of the action of the com- mittée and commending them on their stand. They were not afraid that they would lose anything by arbi- tration. The report was adopted with- out amendment. On motion the Advisory Commit- tee was authorized to" purchase Miller's gravel pit in the Township of Uxbridge, on concession 5, on which the Council now holds the option. The price was $300 an acre, and the pit is situated on the Provincial Couty Road, Claremont to Uxbridge. It was considered to contain real gravel, as good as anywhere in the County. Mr. Gerrow introduced a by-law to appoint County Valuators and to fix their salaries. This by-law was laid Tover as none of the members were ready to suggest names to fill in the blanks. The report of the County Property Committee contained many recom- mendations. The salary of the turn- key of the County Goal was increased from $900 to $1000. It was recom- mended that the remaining stones in the goal yard should be broken up small enough for road material to be placed on the street running from the County Property to the Kingston Road. They recommended that the town be asked to remove the stone after it had been broken up. The Council suggested that the memorial donated by the late Col. J. E. Farewell should be placed on the centre of the north wall of the County Council Chamber, and that a suitable flag should be purchasd to drape same. On Friday morning the greater part of the time was taken up with the hearing of two delegations from Whitby Township. One represented 8. 8. No. N3N, the new school at Brooklin and the other 8.8. No, 1. The Warden 'stated that if one section wanted it the Council must 'appoint arbitrators, and he hoped {men would be selected who would deal with the view to having the Provincial Govern. ment assume the whole cost of the} Provincial. Highway system. They were informed by these officials that 80. per cent, of the cost was all the Government was prepared to pay, but the Department would give more assistance to improving the sideroads leading to the main "highways and] acting as feeders to them. rm (Herries. MEN'S BIBLE CLASS, UXBRIDGE Last Sunday was a-special day for the Uxbridge Business Men's Bible Class. Three services were held in the Methodist Church. At the after- noon ing Hon. E. C, Drury was the speaker. He reviewed a series of articles by Sir Philips Gibbs, in which the following 1 were reached: 1. Humanity has a wonderful con- trol of the destructive forces of the world; and if another world war was brought on, there would. be great danger of the destruction of civiliza- ion: 2. Conditions of jealousy and sus- picion in European countries are so bad that they are a constant menace to the peace of the world. 3. Christianity has the key to the solution of this great problem and can save civilization if earnest, whole- some effort is made. This effort will not be to increase membership of some particular de- nomination; nor to impose a creed up- on a large number of people; but will be evidenced in the teaching of those virtues which Christ exemplified, and removing those evils which render clean progressive living difficult. The church was crowded at the afternqon meeting. There must have been five hundred men in the body of the church, while the galleries were filled with ladies.

Sanderson-Swain A very interesting event took place on Wednesday afternoon last, at 2 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanford Swain, when their eldest daughter Annie E., was uhited in marriage to Rev. Milton Sanderson, of Burketon Junction. The spacious home where about 60 of the immediate relatives were bled was b fully d with lily-of-the-valley and bridal wreath and in the drawing room a very pretty arch of evergreen banked with ferns and flowers, formed the alter for the ceremony. At the appointed hour Miss Agnes Swain, prettily attired in sand crepe de chene; took her place at the piano and the strains of the wedding march sounded forth. The bride, who was given away by her father, was indeed a picture in her gown o fwhite georg- ette with a touch of silver on the ful- led skirt and in the heart of the georgette rosebuds which decorated soft folds about her; her bouquet of ophelia roses being the only touch of color. Miss Eva Sanderson, sister of the groom, acted as bridesmaid and was charming in canary crepe de chene with hat to match--her flowers were pink roses and sweet peas. The groom was supported by Mr. Weir Swain, brother of the bride. After the ceremony, which was per- formed by Rev. R. G. Carruthers, the . bridal party remained under the arch to receive the congratulations of their friends, Later a sumptuous buffet luncheon was served from a table which was prettily decorated with pink and white ribbons let down from the ceiling to the four corners of which the wedding cake formed the centre part. Among the choice display of gifts were those from--her 8. S. Class in Blackstock, the Victorian W. I, of which she has been a valued member, her 8. 8. Class in King St. Church, Oshawa, and from the office staff of the Gas. Fittings, Oshawa, of which she has been a member for the past year, The grooms' gift to the bride was a lovely rope of pearls, to the brides- maid and pianiste, unique bar pins of gold, and to his gromsman, gold cuff links. The happy couple, amid show- ers of confetti and best wishes, left for Grand Rapids, Mich., the bride travelling in a tailored suit of camel shades, with hat and scarf to match. ----O rain OBITUARY Mrs. Eliza Thorn After a lingering illness there pass- ed away on Monday, June 9th, at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Fred Mark, near Port Perry, a well known and respected resident in the person of Eliza Thorn, widow of the late Richard Short, who predeceased her fifteen years ago.
