This is the problem:â€" “The town of Durham issued ten thousand dollars debentures bearing 4;% interest, to be repaid principal and interest in ten equal annual pay- ments, also the face of each debenture for each year and the interest thereon , the first debenture being payable in Two comedies of the eighteeth cen- tury. and two alone, still hold the stugu, both written by Irishmen. “She Stoops to Conquer” hy Oliver Gold- smith, and “ The School for Scandal ” by Jas. Sheridan. On the fifteenth of March, 1773, Goldsmith’s comedy “She Stoops to Conquer” began its triumphantcereer. shouts of laughter greeted it from the “Jolly Pigeons” onward. The famous Some time ago we put the above problem in the Chronicle for our mathematical readers to solve. We have to thank Mr. Aitkinson, Town- ship Clerk, of Clifford for the first solution received. His equal annual payment is $126338, a small fraction less than the amount we obtained by our own solution. Mr. Aitkinson states that it is taken from Macpher- son’s Municipal Accounting, and we presume it to be correct. Mr. Chas. G. Robson, of Edmonton, sends in another solution showing the equal annual payments to he $1263,79. The interest and principal allotted to each year during the ten years they are to run are practically the same as Mr. Aitkinson and our solutions. This is the problem in mmneetion with our Furniture Factory Byvlaw, Debentures and developed out ofa statement made one night at the Council by which it was stated that an error in the calcu- lation lost to the. town about $163 in ten years. \Ve thought the matter 1°atln.-r.wrious and proceeded to in vesti- gate. To our amazement we found that the annual payment specified in the town By-law, $126334, was a little over four cents too low, hence the sub- mission of the problem with the grati- fying result so far that we are backed up by such authorities as we have named above In a multitude of Counselors there is safety, and we are now confident that the annual payments of the Debentures named arealittle less than they should be. WE have been handed in a copy of Hull (England) News of Oct. 28th. It was given us by Mrs. Jas. Falkingham who took some pride in an article re- ferring to a visit of His Royal High- ness King Edward to Londeshoro, Yorkshire, and the reception accorded him in the old town where Mrs. Falk- inghzun was. born. It is, no doubt, in- teresting to a few at-one-time residents of that part of England, but we have a sort of idea that the great bulk of our readers will care but little Whether King dezu-d rides or goes afoot in his hunting expeditions, and his lunch- ing at Londeshoro wouldn’t interest them half so much as if he took dinner at Billy O’Marn’s hotel at Dornoch. The former of these will be produced rm'ly in Dvcmnlmr by The Durham) Literary and Dmumtic Club under the auspices of the Public Library. It is interesting to note that “She Stoops tn Umquer” consists of a num- ber of personal experiences of Oliver- Goldsmith. The scene ut the inn ac- tually occurred to Goldsmith at Ard- ary. when enquiring for the best house to stop at, he was directed to the resi- dence of the squire of the village. Again. Tony’s practical joke upon his step-father by tying his wig to the back of his chair, had been played 03 on Goldsmith by the daughter,“ Lord Clare. Simihfly, one can feel confi- dent that the story at “ Wild Grouse in the Gun Room” really existed and was enough to “make you die alaugh- ” mg. Dr. Johnson in court mourning for the King of Sardinia sat in the front row of a side box and laughed heartily throughout, ”She St00ps to Conquer." DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30,1905. Those Debentures. .4 0.. *4 Dr. Jamieson began by saying that he thought that if there was any man in town deserving of favorable consid- eration that man is Mr. Smith. He was glad to know that Mr. Smith had done so well, and referred to the ex- cellent quality of the castings now be- ing turned out by the firm. He said they were now equal to anything of the kind to be obtained any where. He thought at first that it would be better for Mr. Smith to engage in the manufacture of staple articles such as stoves, but the success of many who amassed wealth in such enterprises caused too many to go into the business and he believed it was being overdone. He thought a stranger might meet with greater enthusiasm in presenting a scheme, but personally he always admired the ingenuity and stick-to-it- i‘v‘en’ns of Mr. Smith, who deserved support and should get it. Mr. Henderson next addressed the meeting briefly and spoke on the al- most unlimited capabilities of the gas and gasoline engines as motive power. “ Canada,” he said, “is the great coun- try of resources, having everything within its own borders.” He had about twenty years experience with such engines, and based part of his opinion on the belief that it would be better to manufacture than to import them as the country is now doing. A resolution was passed giving it as the opinion of the meeting that the Town Council prepare a By-law to be submitted at the annual meeting in Mr. Telford expressed himself in ac- cord with the scheme and pointed out that the interest on the loan, if grant- ed. would not amount to more than the wages paid one ordinary workman Whereas Mr. Smith ' would employ twenty or thirty men with families. Did not think any sane man woxild hesitate for the sake of the extra ou't- lay the town would have to make. Mr. Homage. ‘Mr. Laidlaw, M r. Gal» der, Rev. Newton, Mr. J.- H. Brown, Mr. Gilbert McKechnie, Mr. Cochrane, Ye Editor and others all expressedl themselves in favor of the loan being granted, providing, of course, that a suitable, number of hands be employed and the interests of the town be pro- perlyeafegnarded. In introducing the subject Mr. Smith pointed out that the iron indusury stood second only in importance in the industrial world to that of agriculture. He showed the difficulties he had to contend with during the early years of bis‘foundry experience, how for four or five years he lived on the farm and at the same time attended to the foun- dry. He referred also to the loss he sustained through fire a few years ago, and the venture he made in buy- ing over and putting in shape the ruins of the old Cochrane foundry which he now occupies. He also re- ferred to the handicapped position in which he was sometimes placed for want of funds, but notwithstanding all these impediments, he came 0 the town without a dollar of debt against his property and asked for a loan to extend his business. He believed that times had changed, that an evolution had taken place in the requirements for motive power, and that steam was rapidly becoming a thing of the past and would soon be replaced by the more compact, more convenient and less expensive gas and gasoline engines. He seemed to think that a man going into the manufacture of these engines now, was getting in on the ground floor, and that along time would yet elapse before the business was over- done as in many other lines of iron manufactures. Mr. Smith referred also to the fact that he had now in his employ a gas engine expert, and also that if the town granted the loan he would employ only married men, good mechanics and of sober habits. To secure the town he proposed giving a first mortgage on his property. Mr. Catton favored the grant, and felt quite willing to pay his share to keep Mr. Smith in town. \Vas glad Mr. Smith intended to bring in men of good moral standing. BY-LAW WILL BE SUBMITTED. A public meeting was held in the town hall on Monday night last to dis- cuss the question of granting a loan of $10,000 to Mr. Charter Smith who pur- poses to extend his business and go in for an extensive manufacture of gaso- line engines, school desks and thresh- ing machines. The lower hall was packed and during the whole meeting the best of harmony prevailed. Asking Town to Grant $10,000 Loan. J. 8: J. HUNTER HAT’S a very common remark by cus.
