R. Dennis took the chair. It was decided to increase the present schedule of the assistant teachers‘ salaries $50 a year till the maxyimum is reached, instead of $25 per annum. The secretary was instructed to ask the teachers to refund 2%% per cent. of April, May and June salaries for superannuation fund. Weston Coal and Lumber Co.‘s tender for coal was accepted, they agreeing to deliverâ€" by September 1st four cars of soft coal, two to each school. Miss Hazel Goulding, Weston; Miss Donalda McKechnie, Shelburne, and Miss Florence Dixon, Weston, were appointed to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of Miss Florence Nattress, Miss McKay and Miss Ballantyne. _ An increase of salary was offered Miss Hall, kindergarten teacher, in an effort to secure a further continuance of her services, and the matter of appointing a successor was left open.

Mr. Donald Campbell was elected trustee to succeed Mr. G.._ W. Verral, who had resigned from the Board of Education. It was moved that our municipality still holds its membership in the Municipal Association, and appointed the Mayor, Dr. Charlton, and Councillor Macklin to attend the general convention as delegates, to be held in Toronto during the week of Aug. 28th. Important items regarding municiâ€" pal affairs are discussed. It is felt that this convention is of great importance to those attendin and all the municipality. { & A letter from Kent‘s re the arrears of taxes on lot 3, plan 256, are to be looked into. It appears that all arrears were paid up to 1915. ‘The former treasurer gave this receipt. The arrears were turned over to the county at this time, thus he di‘d not have the information before him. The amount involved is about $71.35. ; Dr. Meldrum, the Medical Health Officer, appeared before the council re the millk conditions. At a meeting of the Medical Health Officers in Ontario the Ontario Provincial Health Officer gave them a sample of the milk byâ€"law. This he explained was necessary for the safety and protectionâ€"of the public. All the Medical Officers were asked to bring this byâ€"law before their respective councils. He stated that at present there wag nothing definite for the Health Officer to work upon in regard to the milk. A tour of inspection was made of stable conditions, but nothing thorough.. The reaâ€" son of this was the lack of testers, byâ€"law, and another inspector was required. The Doctor recomâ€" mended that a Babcock milk tester be purchased for the Board of Health‘s use. This would reveal all impurities and foreign matter in the mill. He was also very strong on the passing of the byâ€"law. It made it imperative that the source of supply, the stable, the help, the cow and its food, were all in a perfect state. No milk would be allowed to be sold in town coming from a place that was not inâ€" spected thoroughly. Some of the council were not in favor of so strong a byâ€"law as presented. It was, however, left over for consideration. The Doctor stated that Mr. Campbell, with his many duties, did not have the time to devote to sanitary inspection. Therefore it would be well to appoint a second inspector. ‘The whole matter will be dealt with at an early meeting. A letter was received from the Deputy Postmaster General re the postal service for Weston. He pointed out the facts that no postal delivery can be granted to a place that bas less than 12000 perâ€" sons and postal réceipts of at least $20,000. As Weston has only 2600 people and an income of $7,â€" 517.00 at the post office, the petition cannot be granted. ‘This means no postal delivery here until we grow. The question of Mount Dennmis having a postdl delivery was explained. They have the delivery from the City of Toronto station in West Toronto. f Mrs. Luke wrote re the sidewalk on Wllhal’;» Stree‘g.

Report was made by the constable that conftgzne d this, :Q_‘;;_gf)mmittee will attend to the walk at once. & S te Sne 53 The Fire Chiefs‘ Association will meet at Port Arthur and Fort William. on July 24, 25, and 27. On account of the great distance no one will represent our fire brigade this year. It was decided to pay the annual fee for membership so as to keep in touch with the association. A sign board will in the future note where the Weston town park is located. This is an imâ€" portant step. Painting the hydrants red was spoken of. The complaint is that the grass hides the hydrant now both being the same color. This is a reason why all grass should be cut at once so as to allow the hyâ€"’ drants to stand out. > § It is a truism that the greater our privileges the greater our responsibilities In these days Canadian citizens bave a responsibility which they did not possess in the preâ€"war days. It is a time when politics is not the big thing, office seeking and popularity has no place in the lives of the true patriots. It is a day of actiom, of service, and most of all, forgetfulness of self. Not only Canâ€" ada but our nation is at the biggest crisis in her history. A life and death struggle is on. Out naâ€" tional life trembles in the balance, and whether we realize it or not, each one of us is doing her share to either win or lose the war. Let us as women citizens face the truth and rise to our full duty and responsibility, even though it means a reconstruction of our whole life. To win the war means to Mr. Shaw appeared before the council to ask for exclusive rights to sell refreshments on Wesâ€" ton town park. In return he will supply hot water and dishes to all_picnics free of charge. The Board of Trade are supplying necessary, boiler and stove. Thus our park is taking a definite shape. The council granted this request. & j on their country‘s altar the very idol of the heart, the one dearer to them than life itself. But we must be willing to do these things if we are to win the war, and more, we must do each one of us her own share. Nothing has been too hard for the women of France and England. Nothing shall be too hard for the women of Canada to prove her heroisim and loyalty. Returned Veteran Soldiers‘ Home Fund madean appeal to the Mayor through Mrs. Geo Roycee the president. The Mayor presented this to the council and they decided by motion to give ’.che sum’ of $25.00 for this putpose. us a different mode of living, less leisure hours to devote to literature, art and many other things which make life pleasant. For the first time it means to many hard work, change of occupation, unâ€" congenial surroundings, business concentration, an entire change from a life of comfort, and in some cases luxury, to one of strenuous activity.. To many it has meant the supreme sacrifice of laying Councillors Gardhouse and Scythes were appointed to see about a new storage battery for the fire truck. The old one is played out and they have no lights for the truck at present. _ Mr. Howard Gray was appointed to watch ‘the town‘s interest at the Court of Appeal for assessâ€" ments. This will be held on July 26th under Judge Coatsworth,. Eagle, Nason and Toronto General Trust are the main applicants for appeal. Each will have their lawyers at the sitting. Mr. Cole, of the Pease Foundry Co., was present with detail plans for heating system. It was decided to put in a proper heating system at the last meeting and ask for specifications and tenâ€" ders. Pease were the only people present and they gave a most complete detailed plan of the proposâ€" ed work. It will take care of the council chamber, assembly hall, Hydro office, firemen‘s rooms, cells, hose tower, fire hall, Hydro power house. and the cellar. No new foundation will be required. It is proposed to place the boiler under the fire hall where ample room is to be had for coal supply, ete. The system is steam and vapor vacuum, which was proven very satisfactory. It. gives the greatest heat at a low cost of fuel. At present nine stoves are used to heat these buildings. All will be heated it is expected for about $125 worth of fuel by this system. Soft coal will be used. The rough cost of installation was set at $2300 to $2500. A down draft smokeless boiler is proposed. This is claimed to give the greatest results and holds fire for a long time. All black smoke will be conâ€" sumed. Each unit can be shut off or operated as required. A free inspection is made by the vapor firm to see that everything is right. The system as stated by one of the councillors sounds good. The council, however, want to see other systems and make a thorough investigation before they go ahead. Further specifcations are asked from three other firms. One of these systems will be acâ€" cepted and tendered calling for the work as specified. The Clerk was instructed to attend to this at once and a special meeting will be called to attend to the details. & Tenders for the decorating of the council were to be called for at once. ‘The meeting adjourned at 11.35.
