Mr. Calder then laid a plan before ; the Council that a company which 1 he had in mind would be willing to i take up the Jackson plant on the same terms as the Jackson company got it. They would not. however, pay any back debenturesâ€"the town would have to lose theseâ€"but they would take up the remaining ones as they fell due. The company would give the town a first mortgage on, all the holdings of the company. in-' cluding any new machinery or ma-‘ terial that. might. be purchased. andl would take up the Jackson agree- ment. as to the number of men em- ployed. pay the insurance and school taexs. Mayor Smith thanked the Reeve for his statement and said that now the Council had something definite before them they could go ahead and do business. Mr. Calder said he didn't care who started the Jackson building so long as it was started. He said that he had threwn this challenge to Mr. Allan on the platform and had Mr. Allan accept- ed it he (Mr. Calder) would not now be in the Reeve’s chair. To this lat-- “if statement, the Mayor requested Mr. Calder to keep on talking busi- nessâ€"cunt election talk. On the sug- gestion of a member of the Council that Mr. Calder put his statement in writing. the Reeve said that this wnuht he done. He stated definitely that the Cnmpany was prepared to take Up the 1924 debentures, and furnish the town with the proper security. but would give no bond. Mr. Calder further stated that if. in a month or so. the Council thought the new company was not going a- head fast enough. and some other Opportunity presented itself, it would be right and proper for the Coum'il to hand it over to the party that was apparently the better able to ran-y out its contract. This was the last order of business on the table and the Council ad- journod. Karl Homuth. who ran. on the U.F. nit-Labor ticket, was unseaied as the member for South Waterloo in the Provincial Legislature, by a judgâ€" ment given Tuesday at Osgoode Hall {by Justices Kelly and Masten. They voided the election owing to certain‘ irregularities, but do not find cor- rupt intent and. therefore, do not. disqualify him from seeking re-elec- tion. The petition against the valid- ‘ ity of the election was made by Arâ€" ithur W. Mercer, the Conservative candidate, and a by-election will follow. The court found that 21 persons had voted illegally, some of whom. cast a ballot whose names were not‘ on the list. and others. though on the list. had not been residents for three months immediately preceding elec- tion «lay. The'et.»urt found that such were not correct. practices within the meaning of the Act. but as Homuth ‘was elected by 15 votes only. the throwing out of the ‘21 irregular votes unsealed him automatically. There were nther irregularities. but nnthing to merit. a. charge of corruption against the candidate. He may run again in the hy-eiection to follow. and sympathy under the cir- cumstances may result in his elec- tien. Charged With Stealing Poultry. Mrs. M. \V’iloy of Tara. wife of an Arran Township farmer. appeared in police com-t. recently charged with the theft of poultry from her brother-in-law.
