A And whereas within the said year another Company did l&y rails upon King Street from Albert Street to the Corpora tion limits and by reason thereof the said Port Dover, Brantford, Berlin and Goderâ€" ich Railway Company was unable to finance their said railwayZscheme. And whereas the said Company, in view of such laying of rails by another Comâ€" pany 02 King Street, requested this Counâ€" cil to return them their deposit of $1,000, which this Council did, taking from the said Company a waivcr or re ease of their alaim to the said bonus of $21,000. And whereas it having becoma probab‘e that the other Company, which laid rails upon King Stroot as aforesaid, willâ€"not be able to complete @r operate its line of railway and that the said Port Dover, Brantford, Berlin and Goderich Railway Companry either may Te able to acquire their road bed., ete., so far as now conâ€" strueted er may be able to finance and eonstrust an inde pendent line. AND WBEREAS the said Port Dover: Braniford, Berlin and Goderich Rai‘wa Company have requested this Council to consent te restore both parties to the posâ€" ition in which they stood prior to the payâ€" ment back of the said deposit of $1000. and the waiver of the claim to the said boâ€" nusand to extend the time for the com pletion of said Railway to Ga‘t and as an inducement to this Council so to do, hay agreed not only to again deposit $1000â€" but also to construct and operate & line of electric railway from Berlin toâ€" Wellesley Village and to consent that no part of the said bonus of $21,000. shall be paid to them until the said Railway to Wellesley shall be completed and in operation. . 1.

G. H. Bowlby, Esq , Mayor, Berlin. Dzar Sir:â€"I havg yours of the 16th inst, respecting the meeting of the Municipal Council on Saturday night, for which I am much obliged. _ If it is at all possible I will bo present, but ‘I am afraid, however, that a previous engagement will make it entirely out of my power. â€" I of course can have no objections to make to your City having all the railâ€" way communication it can possibly get, but I think I have done a good deal towards showing that I started building the road in good faith and an extension like what you are proposing of a company that has not done anyâ€" thing but talk and which have forfeited their franchise, would only embarass me in getting funds to complete the road I am building and make the delay a little longer than it otherwise would be. You are aware that I have never asked your city for a bonus of a cent except to take stock in the road on the same terms I was getting my own. I understand there was some feeling against me in your city for which I cannot at all account, as outside of the fact of my being a little embarassed this Jlast winter through having too many industries going at one time I was doing all that could be done towards getting the road completed. This is, I believe, the only way in which you can get communication with the C. P. R. and I understand that your city was at one time wi‘ling along with Waterloo to pay $90,000 for _ this privilege that I am offering youfor nothing. If I had not been able to complete the road as fast &8 I intended, it has not been my fault but my misfortune ad has largely been oc casioned by the amount of talk that was done by r.val promoters and others rgainst me in some of the banking institutions with whom I was dealing. I think I bave survived this, however, and will eomplpte the road as soon as it can be done. If the Council decides to extend the time of the franchise to Mr Clark without a new byâ€"law submitted to the people I think there woula possibly be & quesâ€" tion as to the legality of the proceeding, I would adviee you to ask your solicitor on this point. Yours truly â€" â€" JOHN PATTERSON. The Mayor made a few remarks reâ€" specting the meeting just called and manifested surprise that the Board of Trade should take npon themselves to have correspondence and hold meetâ€" ings in connection with railway matters without either notifying or consulting the Council. Ex Mayor Eden was called and adâ€" dressing the Council said that Mr Clarke sbould not ressive any countâ€" enance from the Councll unless he falâ€" #lled the conditions contained in byâ€" MBR PATTEPSON‘8 LETTER. May 17th, 1900 Carrled Mt law and that it was equally as legal for the Council to â€" again revive those claime, really, neither the Patterson or the Clarke road had a franchise on King street, excepting the inspired right which the Patterson people helé by possession.

One of those happy and interesting events which mark an important period in the life of individuals took place at the home of Mr George. Fry, in the Township of Blenheim, near Bright, on Wednesday, May 15th, wheu bis daughter, Adeline was married to Mr Ezra Haist, of Cassel.
