Last Week a very un- fortunate one occurred in one of our exchanges,, which in writing of a local wedding .said: "The fpllowing guests were present at the funeral." Mr. Earl Alexander, employed at Down's garage, suffered a painful accident one day last week.

Thirty-one ratepayers of the town- ship of Artemesia petitioned the county council last week asking to have three responsible men, whom they named, put in charge of road work in this township, claiming that the present road foreman is not divid- ing the work up fairly, and that he gives it all to certain families.

' The clause advising grading and graveling about eight miles of the road in Egremont was struct out. With regard to the clauses advising the issuing of debentures to pave the streets of Meaford. Markdale and Fiesherton, the following discussion took place according to the Sun- Times: The deputation from the southern part of the county, which asked that the council curtail all construction work on county roads this year, was introduced by Reeve T. J. Brodie of C-lenelg. Ex-reeve John McArthur of Eg- remont Township was the first speak- er. He stated that the taxes are be- coming almost unbearable, with farm products selling at the present low prices. Therefore, he maintained the council should cut down expenses and not issue debentures in order to build new roads. Mr. N. McDougald was the next speaker, he aho urged economy. The address of Mr. Robert Dodds, th| third speaker, was the most concise. Ho dealt with the fall in the prices of fir" 1 pro'V'cts and cJsijEed that it was impossible for farmers to pay hierh taxes. "All the reduction poss- ; ible,'' was his request regarding c'ltt- 1 ir.g down expenses on county roads j Thi-3 reciuest was made in the interests | not only of the people of the iuth- ern part of the county, but of the ' whole county, he maintained. Mr. Hugh McEachern, a member of Egremont Township Council, Mr. W. P. Rodsers and Mr. Chas. Drumb, also spoke. Mr. Drumb forecast even harder times. He made reference to' Hie nowlv designated F.|rremo-t county read, stating that it was not i recess^y. Messer. Alex Carruther. jA. J. Pedlar, R. Purvis, W. Walker. . J. Campbell and Chas. Turner also I spoke briefly in support of economy ' j regarding road expenditures. The other clause which caused con- ! r-iderable discussion, read as follows : I "Your committee also opened tenders : for paving on connecting links in ' Fiesherton, Markdale and M?aford. j and would recommend that, when the type of pavement is decided upon, the (""virnitteo Vinvo DAWPI- tn award con- u racts." EC""" W. I. Field of Collir.gwood Township moved that this clause be struct out as it contained nothing . definite regarding the cost of these pavements. Reeve J. L. Lsmbke of Sullivan maintained that the general feeling of the people of Grey county- is against th? undertaking of anv construction work on the roads this i vear. Roove Noble Arthur of Meaford. and Reeve H. A. McCauley of Fiesher- ton. both snoke against Ree\\> Field's motio". Reeve Arthur maintired [that the municipalities will be pract- ically forced to undertake this or 1 similar work in order to meet the un- ' f mployment situation. Reeve Me- ' Cauley pointed out that this work had j br? approved at the January session : ">f *"ho council. Reeve G. Shortt of Osprev Town- , ship also spoke in favor of this con- struction work. He maintained that, ' even if no construction work is under-; taken, a ten mill rate will have to be \ struck, and urged that debentures j b" i<s"d. Countv engineer R. C. MeKnight informed the council that the share of He had three sisters, all deceased. Mr. Craig came to Kimberley when a lad of 15 years of age, and owned and operated the first threshing- machine in Euphrasia township in partnership with the late John Loug- heed.

TSTAN DING VALUE the cost of these pavements which will have to be paid by the council. when the government grant is deduct- ed will be about $15.000. Reeve D. J. McDonald of Bentinck informed the council that, if any de- bentures are issued, the issue will h-ve to be for about $200,000 to meet d -ficits of the past few years. He urged that a clause be inserted stat- ing that this work will not be pro- eeeded with unless the council sanct- ions the issue of debentures. This ^ouW act as a safe guurd in case th council declined to issue debentures. he stated, pointing out that while the rr>sd con*tTn -ti^n work might hp ap- proved by a majority of the members. it will take a two-thirds vote of the council to issue debentures. Reive McCauley of Fleshorton mai"tained that thp issuing r deben- tures had nothing to do with the ques- tion of road construction, a-? the tion of road construction, as the amount of $15.000 could be saved by cutting down on part of the road maintenance work. A vote was then taken, with <ho result that the disputed clau-j,? passed by a 20-11 vote. The other clauses if the vote were passed without dis- cussion. The passing of the disputed clause practically decided any ques- tion 'cgrardini; thp remaining clau-jes *3 they dealt with the proposed pav- ins work. Nice Juicy LEMONS 40c per doz.
