AT high noon Tuesday a quiet wedd- ing was solemnized at “C ni‘gielee” the residence of the bride’s sxster Mrs. J. P. Telford. when Miss Margaret Cor- bet of Durham was united in marriage to Mr. Walter Hill Wilson, merchant‘ of Fairbanks Alaska. After the cere- mony a wedding breakfast was served and the happy couple entrained for an extended tour through Florida, El Paso Los Angeles, 'San Francisco, Seattle and thence to their home in the far north. Mrs. Hill is well and favorably known here and the best wishes of the community go with her from her many friends. The bride was the re- cipient of many costly presents. A QUIET wedding took place. on Tuesday noon at the rcsdience of Mr- Frank Livingston, Guelph, when his youngest sister, Edith May, was uni- ted in marriage to Mr. R. T. Bell, (3. E., of the C. P. R. I’ngineering Stafi'. Rev. Mr. Glassl'ord of the Presbyterian church, was the officiating clergyman. After partaking of a sumptuous wed- ding breakfast the young couple en- trained for Buffalo, New Yorl; and other places. Among the many valu- able presents was a magnificent silver cabinet purchased from Mr. \Vebster here, a mark of esteem from Mr. Bell’s cmnpanions on the Engineering Staff.

A public meeting was held on Thurs- 1 day evening of lastwveek to discuss the. question of a Railway Crossing at. the. foot of (iara'fraxa street hill. \Ve. un- derstaiul theoppositirm to the pmwposa1 of the railway company was not.

(Hunpany and the town specifying what the company proposed to do in relation to prohwting the street, (-rossings. At the Council meeting on Honda)" night Mr. \‘C. ll. Bean was appointed treasurer instead of Mr. A. H. Jackson. B 3' this appointment the remuneration for the treasurer has been reduced from $150 to $100. Mr. Jackson, we consider a most capable officer. and there are few, if any, who can dis- charge the duties equally well. Coun- 'cillor McLauehlan x'as not present at the meeting and there being no reeve since the unseating of Mr. Saunders, there were only five members present besides the Mayor. The vote stood a tie including Mayor Calder’s vote. He again voted to break the tie which re- sulted in Mr. Bean’s appointment. \Ve interviewed Mr. Calder as to the legalityof his double vote. He assures us it was quite in aceordzmee with the Statutes and that with a reeve and six councillors he could vote to tie a lnotion when the opposing vote is 4 to 3 and that he all then vote to break it- If this is the, law it’s a bad one and should be repealed at once. . It seems to us unreaS(i)m-1ble, not because Cal- der, but because. we think it absurd fo ° an y one man to have the power of two of his colleagues. T119 Municipal Amendment Act of 1903, Lhap. 18, Section 55 readq as fol- lows: “The head of the council or the pre- siding officer or chairman of any meet- ing of any council, except in cases Where he is disqualified to vote by reason of interest or otherwise mav vote with the other members on all questions, and except where otherwise expressly provided by this Act any question on which there is an equality of votes shall be deemed to be negatived.” ' The following from Auditors’ Re- port explains itself: “We found all the books to be kept in first class order, the work being very neatly and accurately done. [We notice that You have advertised for a new Town Treasurer. Considering the ex - cellent condition in which the books of the Town have been kept for the past year, we think it will be to your in- terests as well as those of the town as a whole to keep, if possible, the ser- vices of your present Treasurer.” WE have been informed by Mr. Michael Kenny, of Edge Hill, that he has procured an Auctioneers license for 1907 and is Open to engage for sales in any part of the County. Ap- plication may be made to John Mur- doch, Middaugh House, Durham, or to himself at Edge Hill.-4pd. ' skip ........ skip ......... 10 DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 3907. (Signed) TC»: ’1‘?
