The storm centre of the night was the Jackson Building, now leased to J. H. Harding, and it was concerning this lease and the renewal of insur- ance on the property, that much of the evening was occupied. Insurance, on 88000 of policies on the Jackson Factory was now due, and Conn. Hunter raised strong ob- jection to paying the high mate or 3% per cent, suggesting to change the Company or have warehouse rate ap- plied. Reeve Calder who has the in. surance placed, stated no other Co. would take it, because the building was largely vacant, no cheaper rate could be obtained and both the Com- panies and himself would be quite agreeable to have the insurance can- celled it the Council saw fit. Moro discussion ensued, then a motion to rmww same another your, for a prom- ium of $350.60, was carried on mo- tion of McDonald-McFadden. The Jackson Factory has been leas- ed to Mr J. H. Harding and in recent months used as a storeroom by him. As there was some disagreement re'- garding the rent, a committee com- mittee comprising Mayor Smith,Coun- ciliors Murdock, McDonald and Hun- ter were appointed to arrange a Bet. tlement. Accounts totalling $450.00 were passed but one of H. A. Falconer's for expenses in a recent liquor case. was withheld by the Reeve, who brought it before the CouncilC, claim- ing the Constable had no authorityto incur this expense, and at any rate the town should not have. to pay it. Coun. Bell asserted it was in order, the Council should back up their con- stable and he moved, seconded by Coun. Murdock. that Mr Falconer's account of $12.05 be paid. This was carried, the Reeve and Coun. Hunter voting nay. - Hunter-Murdock : That the Bickle Co.. Woodstock. be paid $1676 for chemical engine. Carried. tfr. Bell asked by letter for a re- fund on business tax, seeing he had been in business but little over half a year. A refund of $5.15 was granted. Calder-Hunter: That Mayor and Reeve be a committee to sell deben- tures issued for chemical engine to the highest bidder. Carried. Coun. Hunter brought up the ques- tion of the much-needed tire alarm system. He strongly favored a new suggestion by Manager Gagnon of the Furniture Co., that the town instal a phone in the boiler room at the fats tory, and connect up with three gongs. one on each floor. This would be a monthly expense of $3.55, and the alarm could then be rung in by phone at any hour of day or night. It was left with the Purchasing Com. to decide. Mayor Smith was forced to vacate hls chair before close of session, ow- ing to pain of his recently broken arm, whereupon Conn. Bell took his chair and expressed regrets for the mishap to Mayor and Reeve. Reeve Calder referred to the town's position after the recent Rob Roy Mills fire. The town has some $32, 000 insurance to cover guaranteed bonds, but of course would not secure all, as plant was not a total loss. He volunteered that the Mayor and himself would keep in close touch with the adjuster.

They were bur- led in Ventry cemetery Saturday and Sunday respectively. Ladies Aid Hold Successful Sale The Ladles' Aid ot the Presbyter ian Church held a successful sale or fancy work, baking, etc. in the school- room of the church on Saturday last. Throughout the afternoon music was rendered and an attractive tea table and willing asslltants, lured many visitors to partake of light refresh- ments. The schoolroom was prettlly decorated with the season's colors, orange and black. with pumpkin faces peering here and there. Tho Mission "and of the church also had a table of home made candy at which they realizvd $18. The Lale' Aid reapod about $105 from their sale of work and tea. Fire Brigade Had Two More Runs A bush f e just south of the town next the /lii'id'. track last Saturday afternoon, threatened to cause a dam gerous contiagration with prevailing high winds, so the Fire Brigade was sent for. A number of workers with pails and shovels however, hadoit Rt'- rested and under control when the engine arrived and the Brigade com- pleted the work of extinguishing. Many wondered why the delay with the engine, which was caused by the steam gauge. accidentally breaking ott in the flrehall and a temporary one was secured elsewhere. Tho blaze is supposed to have been caused by sparks ttom the railway engine. The same day titunes sprang up from the debris at the Rob Roy Mills, burnt almost a week previous, but the Brigade soon extinguished them. Mayor Dr. Smith and Reeve Wm. Calder had an unpleasant experience last week which resulted in a brokon arm for the former and scratches and bruises for the latter, ehietiy on the face. These town oihciais had been at Gravenhurst on town business trying to get relief from an impost charge for a patient in the Sanatarium there, which for various reasons they thought should be taken from the town's shoulders. On the way home the Reeve was driving and unfamiliar with the road. In Ora Township, they had Just made a turn in the road and were picking up speed again when another turn on a narrow road suddenly loomed up in the darkness. They were on the. high parb or out- side of the road, and turning quickly as soon as the turn was noticed, thu coupe upset on its side, with results mentioned above. The windshield of the coupe was broken and the top somewhat damaged but when the car was righted, the Reeve was able to drive home, though it will be some weeks before the Mayor will be able to handle the wheel. Both are around attending Council Meeting and other duties and we hope will soon get rid of the unpleasant evidences of their mishap.

While living alone he had been taking his dinner and supper with the McDougall tam. ily across the way, and not appear- ing Monday evening as usual. his neighbor Thos. Petty was notified and soon it was found that he was a victim of a paralytic stroke. With the help or Mr Alex. McDonald, an. other neighbor, he was lifted from the Mor to the bed, and it was eas- ily seen that the attack was to be fatal. A gleam of consciousness came as his old and warm friend, James Burt took his hand but death was in the cup and he passed away at , a. m. Tuesday morning.
