T he local teams, composed of Messrs. Thomas Muff-at, John Back- us, John McQueen and J. A.

The Allan Park team. composed of Messrs. Archie and James Park, Nelson McMahon and Bob Patterson, though defeated, gave the local professionals a hard argument, and after the game, just to show that there were no hard feelings, served refreshments, and the balance of the evening was spent socially. It is expected that the-Allan Park boys will play a return match here in the course of a few days when they expect to turn the tables on their Opponents of last week and hand them out an even worse heat- ing than they received. There is no use denying the fact that the old game of quoits is com- ing hack into its own around Dur- ham, though both Tom Motl'at and John Backus declare that while a good sport for the younger resi- dents like themselves, they would not recommend it to the older in- habitants. who might find it rather stifl' amusement. In vogue here smcc early spring, quite a crowd is beginning to col- lect nightly 0n the grounds at the war of the town hall, and as the limo goes on more and more are slvpping up and taking an active inlvm-st in the. game.

In and around Durham. some damage was done. though this was light 1n etvmparison with other parts of On- tariu. At Allan Park, the shed of Fred Green, bee man, was struck and burned, together with considerable equipment, entailing a loss of ap- proximately $l,500. The residence caught fire, too, but was extin- guished before much damage was done. In Brant township, a house belonging to a Mr. Francis was struck and partially damaged. In the Ayton vicinity, two barns are reported burned, one belonging to Peter Yost, with an estimated loss of $4.50), with insurance of 352,400. Members ol' the family managed to get the stock out of the building, but some implements were con- sumed.

COUNCIL DISCUSSED THE DUST PROBLEM Calcium Chloride Decided on for This Year, To Be Applied lmmed- istely.â€"A Quiet. Session.

Alderman Noble, in the local hospital suffering from an al- tark of pneumonia. and () .Hunler prexenled through liusmess reasons from attending. The passing of accounts ammuni- ing to $859.72 by the Finance Com- mittee and the repurts of some of the standing committees were vogu- lar orders of routine business gone through. Councillnr Croft reported that he had called for tenders fer the decor- ating 0f the auditurium and stair- way of the hall, but that only one tender had been received. from Me- Dougall and Willis, asking far 3271 for the contract. This was dis- cussed hy the Council at same length. some regarding the figures as rather high. It was decided to have the Property Gmimittee deal with the matter. W. J. McFadden, chairman of the Board of Works, brought to the at- tention of the Council the condition of the tops of some of the water tanks aroundtown. notably the ones at Smith's corner, at Storrey‘s and at the furniture factory. Though not under the controLof his com- mittee. the matter had been brought to his attention, and he thought that they should be looked after. as they were dangerous for any young chil- dren who might be playing around. He was authorized to have them at. tended to at once. as well as any others in town that were in need of repair. Dr. Bell, M. U. 11., gave a lengthy report of the recent Provincial meeting in Toronto, touching with other things the advisability of the town supervising its milk supply with the view of protecting the health of the citizens from that source. The convention also urged the readjustment ot' the method whereby the health of the rural dis- tricts was looked after. In the small communities, it. was not. [M’issihle for them to pay sut‘licient salary to em- ploy a full time M. U. H.. but in the topinion of the convention, this han- dicap could be got over by divid- ing the province into areas. em- ploying whole time health officers and sanitary inspectors. and thus giVe these areas good service at a small cost per township. There will in all probability, be six of these areas tried out in Ontario this year. Dr. Bell also informed the Council that. the convention were favorable to inviting the members of the Councils or their representatives to attend at the next convention to the provincial body.

In car lead lots, it. anmuuted to utmnt $38.00 per ton. Considerable discussion W3.- in- dulged in. but as the Council had decided against the use oi oil. and the supply of water \V as inadequate, they decided to giVe the calcium chloride 3 trial for this year at least. putting it on the roadway I10- tVVeen the (1 P.

The matter of the Band Stand was also up for discussion, but as there was some agitation against haVing it. in the Federal Square on account of the flowers and shrubs, there were some that thought it might be moved Up to the ground on which the sol- diers” monument was erected. Reeve Calder thought this was not a good location and said that there was no doubt the flowers around the mon- ument grounds would be damaged as much as those in the square. The discussion ended by the (Loun- cil appointing Messrs. mlder. Mur- dock and McFadden to interview the business men and get their opinion, as well as the opinion of members of the band.
