The Town is burdened with I debt, so much so,thnt Mealty is experienc- ed in meeting its tinaneial obligations, and were it otherwise, there ere other matters looming in the distsnee of intinitesly greater importance than a market place. matters which must be attended to if the Town is tooccupy the position which it ought to do.

Ido not for e moment suppose, that our Town Council haerchgnpd fertile worse. or rather, that it has degenerated in'ita pertained", for I am well ewars, that it will compare very favorably with any other municipal body, and I know. that several of its members are very estimable men. But nevextl-elees. the Council has changed. The time was. when the rule seemed to be "no feel no favour," when even-handed justice was dealt out to everybody.snd to all sections of i the Town alike. However this does not eer- l tainly seem to be the ease now. Take the matter of streets and side walks for in. stance, and it will belt once seen how much greater attention is given to those south of Chester street as compared with those to the north' of that unfortunate div. 1 idiug line. Then, there is the opening up of Chester street to the west. No one will deny, but that that street offers by far the beetroad to the stetion. With very little expense it can be made into I first. class highway, almost level, the one slight declivxty is as nothing compared with that on Garafran street from the bridge upmuds--frig1tttul to timid pedes- trians, but infinitely more so to hear- ily laden teams. Now unquestionably, this is a public mutter, tsffsseting the inter. ests of the whole town, and especially those of one section of it, and as such. the opening up of the street should have been carried out under the supervision: of the Board of Public Works. On the contrary, not only was a proposition to that effect thrown out, but the very moderate request to appropriate $100 out of the general funds in aid of private funds already contributed was refused. Such action on the part of the majority of the Council is intolerable and tyrannical, and all the more so, seeing that the Councillors representing the por- tion of the town more directly interested were a unit in favor of the appropriation being made. This sort of petty strife. has cost this Town a great deal in the past, in fact it has been the chiefeause of the Town being so much behind in the race. Better far that new, the hatchet be buried, and that the interests of the Town as a whole be paramount at the Council board. to the utter exclusion of sectional and local inter. ests. Then there are certain internal ar- rangements of the Council that require to be looked into. It is a well known law that no memberof the Council can while he holds oifiee, not " contractor for the council. The hurt of his doing: so disquali- fims him. if it does not disqualify the acts of the whole body. Noni, I find in looking over the public accounts that this very wise provision of the law is persistently broken by some of the members: of the Council. The work that these gentlemen do, or the goods they provide for the public conven- ience may be worth all that is paid. Never- theless. such a prsetice is wrong, and paves tho wey for jobbery and corruption of the very worst sort. There are many other matters in connection with the Council, to whieh,with your permission, I will refer at some future time, unless taken up by an nbler pen. Meanwhile.

Mr J amen Burnet in moving the follow. amendment to the amendment, said that I. market would enable the buyers to form a ring, and this would be to lower the price of grain, and that a market would not be to the Interest of . either the fkrtner or the Town. Moved in amendment, by J amen Burnet, seconded by J ohu Robertson, that it in not in the interest of the ratepayers of the Town of Durham that any steps be taken towards the selection of a market site at the present time. Mr. Anderson wanted to know how the Council had arrived at the conclusion that a. market was so urgent as to call a. special meeting of the Council on such short notice. He was not aware that any of the ratepay- ers had been consulted. or had expressed their desire for . market by I. petition. The Council only two or three months ago vat. ed t y motion and refused a. free offer of . market sile,but were now proposing to pur. chase a. market site at a heavy cost to the Town. The following is the amendment to the amendment. A. C. McKenzie said it would have cost more to make a market site out of the offer made then than it would to purvhue another site. J. H. Brown said a. market was now neceasary. Very little grain had been bought heretofore. It would be necessary to have a man at each end of the Town to buy grain as at present, and from the keen competition of other phcel this could not be mottled. m did not think them was much danger of rings being formed. The vote on the amendment was then taken and resulting in B tie, wu lost on the casting vote of the Mayor. A. C. McKenzie and J. B. Brown then found fault with the motion. The amendment to the amendment was then put to a vote by the Mayor, Messrs. W. A. Anderson, J. Burnet and John Rob. ertson voting for it, and the rest for the Council Against it. . Mr. B. Dull supported the motion. m said there was no petition from the rate. payers before the Council in regardto . market. J .H.
