Among the things discussed and passed were the appointment of Dr. J .L. Smith as Medical Oflicer of Health for- the balance of the year, succeeding Dr. A. M. Bell, resigned, and now practising at Alvinston; a discussion of the drain- age problems at Countess and George streets, left for the Board of Works to deal with; the replacement of the globes on the street lights and the purchase of new ones where necessary was left in the hands of the Fire and Light Com- mittee; a discussion of suggested chan- ges in the town dump. with nothing done; and a report from Mayor Hunter telling of an interview with the Library Board regarding the construction of a prOper drain , to protect the building on the hill; and a discussion of the request of some citizens as to whether it would be permissible to cut the curbs in front of their places where driveways are now .. V To Meet Board of Trade ‘ Mayor Hunter was the instigator of a decision by the Council that they should meet the members of the Board of Trade in a discussion of certain import- ant matters affecting the town. There was considerable talk around the Coun- cil Board and the press was reQuested to pass it over, for discussion at the meeting to be held this Thursday even- ing at 8 o‘clock in the Council chamber. It is h0ped there will be a full meeting of the present members of the Board of Trade or such others who may care to join up. Word was received from Owen Sound of the appointment of Chief Scott as a County Constable.

In the evening the annual concert was held and this, too, drew a large! house. The programme was in every! way up to the standard of other years.

R._WS Egremont' Farmer Had Hydro Installed To Norman Schenk, we believe, falls the honor of being the first farmer in Egremdnt to join the big hydro family; and secure for himself and family the benefits of hydro as enjoyed by the towns and villages of the province. For some time past he has been having his house, barn and other outbuildings summer run his cream separator, do the churning, do the family washing and make the toast for breakfast. In conversation with Mr. Schenk the Chronicle was given some interesting information which we pass on to our readers for their future guidance in case they, too, are thinking of installing hydro. ATTACKS A GOVERNMENT Jan Christian Smuts, famous South African statesman- and present leader of the 0111ch Opposition, is at present conducting a vigorous campaign throughout the Union against what he terms “the Govern- ment’s lack of leadership during this severe depression.” To begin with, Mr. Schenk’s cost for wiring his house and barn and bring- ing the wires in from the road will run approximately $275. This wiring is con- siderably more expensive than really necessary, as there has been nothing slighted and his house is wired as well as any house in town or city. In every room he has had switches placed, and wall plugs in different places for the laccommodation of extra lighting or Lanything that may be required. He has in all outlets for 14 lights or fixtures, exclusive of the extra wall plugs. In his barn he has installed five lights in his stable, two in the upper part of ; the barn and one in his barnyard. ‘ For this service Mr. Schenk tells us he pays a service charge of $2.50 per month, eight cents for the first 42 kilo- watts, and two cents for all over this amount. It is his intention to have an electric stove installed, as well as the other do- mestic necessities which would indeed be considered luxuries on any farm or in any town or village not served by the hydro or in which a twenty-four-hour service is not maintained.

No.4nithnyWutof'l‘thehc WidonedlndGIllyflCemcterywm There is considerable work being done at present on No. 4 Highway west of the tdwn which when completed will give the travelling public a wider road and make for safer motoring. The men are at present engaged in the work un- der Patrolman Archie Park and when completed will be a big improvement. At the cemetery another long-needed improvement is being made. Durham has long been noted for its well kept necropolis and for some time back _ it has been the desire of the powers be- hind the cemetery board that more im- provements be made, not the least be- ing the erection of a proper fence along the front. The old one has long served its purpose and would soon have to be replaced, but 'with the condition of the highway in front of the cemetery it was a broblexn. The intention is to erect a new iron fence along the whole front of the prOperty, but in order to do this it was necessary that the gully in front of the grounds and part of the provincial highway system be filled. sore and danger spot, which it is ex- pected will be completed early next week, the Cemetery Board will go ahead next spring and erect a fence and prop- er entrance gates which will not only be a much needed improvement, but! 'will further lend to the beauty of the grounds, which even now are said to be the prettiest among the smaller ceme- teries oi the province. New Crossing at C. P. R. ; Workmen were engaged Tuesday put- Iting in a new crossing over the C .P. R. lat the foot of the Garafraxa street hill. The old crossing of wood has been taken ‘up and a new one of railroad steel put dewn. It is a great improvement over the old one and, better than that, is more than likely permanent. TURN NATURAL WEALTH BACK TO PROVINCES Confederation’s two youngest mem- bers on Wednesday of last week were handed a wealth of Western lands and rivers, according Winnipeg. â€"_____r _ , To the 25-year-old provinces .of Al- berta and Saskatchewan the Dominion presented their natural resources, giv- ing them administration and control of lands and water powers, mines, forests and fisheries. Both provinces entered Confederation September 1, 1905. No ceremony marked the transfer of resources, worth many millions. Busi- ness went on as usual in the Dominion Loffices, despite the change of jurisdic- under the provincial plan, but the pro- portion will be small. It is understood that arrangements made at Ottayva will most part. The lack of ceremony at the provin- cial capitals, Regina and Edmonton was in marked contrast to the celebra- tion marking the transfer of resources to Manitoba. The Manitoba resources were handed over by the Prime John imam on July 15 last, so years after the province’s entry into Confed- eration. Resources have now been re- turned to all three provinces on the 'estern Lands and Rivers Returned to Youngest Members of Confedera- tion.â€"Wealth of Millions Transferred Without Ceremony of Any Kind.

That great day at Mount Carmel was, firstly, a day when Elijah put his God to a test; secondly, on that day the altar of the Lord was iébaired, aha thirdly, on that day the fire of the Lord fell. .

Season 3 Crop Was Destroyed By Fire Patrick Haney of Normmhy, Eight Miles South of Town, Suffered Seri- During the past threshing season nu- I merous tales of barns burned through being fired by the separator or sparks‘ from the engine have been quite cur- rent. This district to date has escaped fairly well until last Friday morning the barn of Mr. Patrick Haney, Normanby, on No. 6 Highway about eight miles south of Durham, was destroyed by fire which is supposed to have started from ithe blower of the separator, and all his lseason’s crop was destroyed. , Threshing had been in progress only about an hour when the fire started and its origin will always remain a mystery. The separator, a new machine, was owned by Mr. Adam Keller, an exper- iienced thresher, and so quickly did the fire make headway it was impossible to save it. As the motive power was sup- plied by a gasoline tractor, it cannot ‘be claimed that it was a spark from the engine which started the eonnagration. The loss to both Mr. Haney and Mr. Keller will be considerable, and we have Inc intormation as to how much insur- ance was carried.

Someone had helped themselves to it while he was unloading the chop at his barn. Police were notified but nothing was heard of the roofing until Wednes- day morning of this week. when it was found thrown at the side of the road. where the owner had left it nine days previously.
