There are lots of eligible men in town. . We would. be sorry to think other- i w:se. but we are confident that manv of the competent ones have , not a full conception of the amount of work to be done, and? when they come to find out thcv’ will think that $70 a year, the; amount Mr. Vollet would accept, is none too mLch for the work. .‘ 'l‘iw hy-law went through and was i carried on a vote of four to. The Baker case came up again and the discussxon of the case re- vealed a sad condition of_ things_. The family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Baker and two or three children, are evidently in most destitute circumstances. Mr. Baker is sick, supposed in an advanced stage of consumption. They refuse to allow the children to be taken to the Children’s Shelter. Baker himself is not in a' fit state to be removed to the hospital or else- where. and the council is up against a delicate proposition, but a proposition that needs prompt action. For the sake of the children, they should be removed or they, too, may contract the dis- ease of which the father is now dving. Only a short time ago Mrs. Biker was ill and underwent an operation and treatment that cost the town nearly two hundred dol- l: 11' s. The David Brown family is also in need of help. For some time Mr. Brown has been incapacitated fiom cataracts and became totallv 101 almost totally blind. He under- went an operation but is again ;hack in the hOSpital at me1 DSound under another treatment. ‘In the meantime, the family is in idistrcss and will have to be as- 'sislefL A strange change came over one member of the council who, at the last meeting a Week previous, vioced the opinion that Mr. Vollet had experience and was the only man who was eligible for the po- sition and that he should be the man to have it. Why should there be a complete change of front in one short week? Then there was an attack made on members who voted at the pre- vious session for a reduction of 8100 on the pool-room license, while the same economists were now haggling over ten dollars on the clerkship. The passing 0! a by-law to ap- point a Hydro clerk was the first busineays disposed at, Mr. C. Elvidge being the appointee at a salary of 860 a year. The name of Mr. W. B. Vollet was first insert- ed in the by-law, but a hitch came when the sixty dollar salary was named and Mr. yVollet reluaed to accept the position for the amount named. The council met on Monday night and remained around the table till 11 o’clock. For the time spent, we cannot accuse them 0! zetting through an enormous amount of work, but this is no uncommon thing in the history of Durham councils. . a__ aynno cnnnxurrournn: NOW I. B.
