He carries his age well and doesn’t. seem much older than he was a quarter of a century ago. There was a l’arge amount of busi- ness transacted. The orderly character of the meet- ings and the systematic way of get- ting at the business has been com- mented on and comparisons made. There was some very nice fighting on some questions but as soon as the smoke cleared away there was an atmosphere of peace. Our own Charlie McKinnon was up and at it every time the interests of Division No. 3 were in danger. Though he couldn’t convince the Council that Durham isn’t prosper. ing, he managed to keep down the valuation of it and the township of Glenelg. Mr, Brigham was equally tenacious in fighting for Bentinck and Hanover. Now We Have a Gordonâ€"Schenkâ€"That the Coun- ty Treasurer be paid $4 to cover livery hire in attending session.â€" Carried. It was interesting when the equal- ization question came up to hear of the extensive tracts of useless land to be found in every Division. Whenever Councillor Richardson speaks he says something, but; he doesn’t speak often. The session is now over and we believe it was a great success. While arguments may be made for and against the system of holding the Council meetings at different places in the County. we feel that it’s a good thing to go around espec- ially while the esential paraphernalia of government is of so portable a character. The members of the Council themselves by going from place to place to hold their meetings will form amore general acquaint- ance with the County as a whole while on the other hand it is a satiso faction to the peOpIe to get a glimpse of the whole body corporate to whom the business of the County is entrusted.
