Mrs. Brown had gone out to call a doctor for an- other son, who is a machinist at the Owen Sound Iron W orks, and is ill with appendicitis. In her absence the little fellows disappeared. and when they did net return a search was started which lasted well into the night. As two boys answering the description were seen around the docks at about the time the mother said they must, have. left home, a. thorough search in. that Vicinity reâ€": sulted in the discovery of their hadâ€"i ies in about 15 feet of water.

The service was called for 3 p.m., but it was nearer 3.30 when the march to the church began. Rev. Mr. Hartley of Shelburne, the District Chaplain,j was the preacher, and delivered a? most forbeful, eloquent and appro- priate Masonic sermon. to the brethâ€" ren assembled. There is no doubt that the feeling of the meeting is for a pavement and it is likelv the committee and council will start at once to formu- late plans for its accomplishment. The attendance was small, espe- cially of the business men, and it was freely expressed that those who failed to put in an appearanceeshould find little fault with Whatever was clone if they were not interested enough in the roadway in front of their place of business to give it a couple of liours’ consideration. The appointment of this commit- tee was made necessary by the fact that. a number of the citizens at the meeting favored a full-width pave- ment, while another section wanted a 20-foot strip down the centre .of the read. and macadam from there to the sidewalk. COMMITTEE OF FIVE WILL‘ WORK WITH TOWN COUNCIL The meeting of the ratepayers . called by the Town Council to deal with the paving of Durham’s main. street. was held lastnight in the Town Hall and resulted in a committee of five citizens being appointed to work with the Council and assist them in devising the best scheme for 1m- piloying our main thorqnghfare._ 11m Ynmmxttoe ‘is: hIcsSrs J.

Mr. Falconer said that instead of having laid in- formations against motor owners “my wholesale.” as he was reported to have done, he had laid only eight, and even - yet considered he ' was right. in doing so. Despite the fact that Mayor Allan, at the special met-ting a week ago Friday had de- clared he knew nothing about it, and had always cautioned the constable against too strict an enforcement of the law, Mr. Falconer told the Coun- cil that the Mayor had been informâ€" ed every time an information had been laid. Questioned as to Why he had not attended the special meetâ€" ing when requested to do so, Mr. Falconer said he had understOOd it was a ruse on Reeve. Calder’s part to get him before the Council and Give him a trmgue-lashing, and he Wghld not stand for this kind of thing. The Reeve thought he should have ap- peared with his. accusations against the Mayor when he (the Mayor) was there to defend himself.

Possibly the most important mat- ter dealt with was that of the paving of_tl_1e front street. This was introduced by Reeve Oal- der, who presented Mr. W.~ Holl'ing- worth, of the Hamilton Paving Com- pany, the firm that is laying pave- ment in the vicinity of Meaford. Mr. Hollingworth had made an estimate on the work apparently required in Durham and gave the Council a quo- tation‘ of $2.00 per square yard. His estimate was based on the possibil- ity of being able to use gravel from the town gravel-pit. If crushed stone were used, it would be that much more. After considerable dis- cussion, the Council decided to call a public meeting for Wednesday evening (last night). THE TOWlN COUNCIL The meeting of the“ Council last Monday night was largely a matter of the usual routine business.
