On Friday evening Secretary De Bus received a letter from P.D. Ross Stanley _ Cup Trustce, formally deâ€" clining to accept the Berlin challenge. It is alleged that thrce challenges prior to that from the locals had been received, all of which will likely be played off. Mr. Ross adds that the feeling of the trustees as regards the future is that owing to the impossiâ€" bility of accommodating a multipliâ€" city of _ challenges a rule will now have to be established that unless very special circumstances exist only the Ontario Hockey Association, aS$ the oldest and strongest league, will be recognized in the matter of chal lenges for the â€" Stanley Cup in . this province. This means that the Stanley Cup does no‘longer represent the Canadian hockey championship, as WaS intended by the donor.

After a consultation with Mayor Kranz and a number of the Council, Town Solicitor Clement has entered an appeal against the judgment . of Chiel Justice Meredith rendered â€"at the Spring~ Assizes this week in connection _ with the Clemens . and Bricker _ vs. Town of Berlin cases, when damages _ amounting to $800 and costs were assessed against the town. This: action is taken in view ol the ~fact that Chiel Justice Mereâ€" dith expressed ‘himself strongly that no negligence could be shown against the town, ‘The appeal will again be heard by the _ Divisional Court at Osgoode Hall, Toronte, A _ special meeting of the Market Committee was held in the Council Chamber on Friday evening to . dis cuss matters in comnection with the iWprovement of the present facilities of disposing of and purchasing proâ€" duce. Chairman Gross presided and all the members of the Committee were in attendance. â€" It was decided to change the hour of opening the Saturday . market from 7.30 to 10 o‘clock, and a specâ€" ial committee, composed of Chairman Gross, Mayor Kranz and Aldermen Cram and Campbell were appointed to draft a new byâ€"law making necâ€" essary changes in the present regulaâ€" tions. â€" e The committee â€"also authorized Chairman Gross and Market Clerk Hughnergard to visit markets in Lonâ€" don, Brantford, Guelph, and other places. . The bright sunshine and beautifol morning brought out a large atâ€" tendance and _ sellers at the weekly market this motning. _ The farmers: did not arrive until 7.30 and as late as 8.20 they were still arriving. But the townspeople were early in reachâ€" ing the market and crowded around the farmers as soon as they reached their tables. .A feature of toâ€"day‘s market was the high price asked for fowl. The writer saw a dealer ask 60 cents _ fora fowl that appeared no _ larger than a _ bantam, while chickens were sold at prices ranging from 385 to 60 cents. There were a few ducks and «geese selling at 11 to 13 cents per pound. There was a plentiful supply of butter, which sold in the majority of cases at 27 cents per pound. Eggs sold at 22 to 25 cents per doz. The report of the Postmaster Genâ€" eral for the year ending, June 30, 1903, has been compiled and deliverâ€" ed. The figures applying to Berlin and _ Galt are of unusual interest owing to the‘ fact that the Gaitonâ€" ians have boasted in the past fow years â€" that notwithsfanding _ that Berlin‘s population is larger Galt‘s gross postal revenue was considerâ€" ably larger. The report for the last year shows a different state of alâ€" fairs. The figures are as follows â€"â€" Galt,â€"Gross postal revenue $15,â€" 931.58; number of money orders isâ€" sued, 2,767; total amount $83,872.97; commiission from public $219.08; num . ‘ber of money â€" orders paid, 3,:841; amount of money orders paid $55,644. ‘83; amount of postal notes paid $5,â€" |454.88; salary â€" $8,577.04, including commission on box rents. | . ‘The gross postal revenue of other Waterloo County towns and villages are as â€" follows:â€"Watetloo $7,058.95; Preston $4,250.63; New Hamburg, $2, 168.75; Linwood, $544,81; Hespeler, $3,5834.88; Hawkesvi uu.va- Bt.â€" Jacobs, _ $442.88; &I-lq .58; Elmira $1,504.18; Conestogo, $202.14 Berlin,â€"Gross postal revenue $16,â€" 242; number of money orders issued, 8,589; total amount $25,063.42;, comâ€" mission from public $193.49; number of money orders paid 4,$10; amount of + money orders paid $58,456.85; amount of postal notes paid $5,114.â€" 651; salary $3,864.93, including comâ€" mission on box rents. o CHANGING MARKET HOUR The modern and scientific method of thawing out frozen waterâ€"pipes" by electricity is _ being successfully practised in Berlin.

Now the proceadâ€" ings taken alter the results of the [« election were made public, â€"and ~up ;Qo/tho last statement > made by Ube ] town clerk, looks to be of a very exâ€" | tuotdlugmutuo. The first report we had the election was 58 votâ€" | es short of the necessary oneâ€"third. | Although it was unofficial, it â€" was, I presume, a Coprect . report ukenL trom the voters‘ list; (which list was supposed to be comiect), and thenâ€" a | recount was taken the result of which | was still 3 votes _ short of carrying | thro '”lo"c}'fii’fl’nliin’d lanE, and controls the a of coughs. esn ui ie ies the byâ€"law. This statement was givâ€" en by the town clerk as true and corâ€" 1 1. . mc aizails Hard Coughs ME O m en n a 5 rect, and _ would in all probability, have stood without another change, of figure, or recqunt. But those that were so anxious to have the byâ€"law. i pass, . were not satisfied; but were still hopeful of two chances open for them, â€" to â€" have the byâ€"law carried . One was by special legislation, and the other by:another recount. So findâ€" ing that the town council did not faâ€" vor the idea of applying for special le&l:‘htion, being that it incurred anâ€" 0 expense _ of about $150, they took the other course still left opeun, and without any great expense. Conâ€" sequently another recount was taken, with the additional force of the town solicitor; and the result then was 11 votes in favor of the byâ€"law. Now the town solicitor ruled, that the revised assessment roll of 1903, and not the voters list should govern as to the number of available votes; that the law clearly states that a byâ€"law must he endorsed by oneâ€"third of the qualâ€" jfled ratepayers.. And then we are told there is a toâ€" tal ol 1719 property votes on the asâ€" sessment roll of 1903. But 1506 per‘ sons own the property so assessed. ‘Then deducting 16 _ property owners, who have died since the assessors roll COMMUNICATIONS was handed in, therefore reducing the total available ratepayers to 1499. Now the men in â€" charge in the diflâ€" ferent polling places were furnished . with the revised voters list and the voters cast their votes on the basis ‘of the 1719 votes on the list. Now it appears . to me if any changes atre wade in the total voters list, after the election, there should also be changes made t$he vote already cast. But that impossible, 1 hear soimmebody say. â€" Well I don‘t . know. If you can apply it to the total list, w can apply it to the votes cast, at is the difference? Of course my opinion is that il any changes ‘were necessary in the total list, it should have been done before election; and not meddle with it afterwards. If we are told that only the 1490 votes ol property owners count, and at the same time allow votes to be cast in all the different wards by one rateâ€" payer, looks to me anything but leâ€" gal. 9 > * Now a few words in regard to the othet _ method of hgvlg;the byâ€"law carried and that is By sphecial legislaâ€" tion. That is another loopâ€"hole to get a measure passed aifter the rate payers through their . votes have sais ‘No." The {dea of having a law on the statute books that says clearly, it requires oneâ€"third of the total ratepayers to maké a byâ€"law valid in granting a bonus to a railway, and it such byâ€"law is defeated the Legâ€" islature can(legalize such byâ€"law over the law already laid down and made :{ the Legislature.

F. Brandt in your issue of the 24th inst., concerning . the recent. Railway Byâ€"Law, would say that I believe ail the parties _ favoring the Byâ€"Law, vfll‘}p pleased to have the eluut scrutiny and investigation as to { vote cast and the act applying thereâ€" ‘to, as. otherwise, under the circumâ€" stances, many of our , citizens mighs accept _ too _ readily reports often made by â€" irresponsible parties . of "fraud‘" and _ ‘"fake‘‘ without ever looking into the matter. That the returning officer should lend himse‘l to anything improper under such cirâ€" 'cumtsncu, even if pressed to du so, is absurd, and the public, 1 think may rest‘assured that he got the best legal _ advice before making the final returns. With the town solâ€" icitor away and a dispute as to the interpretation of the Act applying Mr. Aletter merely gave out a statcâ€" ment in the first place, in the way returms had formerly been made, but reserved | his "declaration," until he had congulted the town solicitor. It is, af course, . unfortunate that â€"he matter was not correctly understood and the lists prepared in advance, as then there would have been no . a¢â€" casion for any criticism ar misgivâ€" ings in the matter. Regarding the roposed special legislation to tatiâ€" fy the vote referred to, I thik the large majority vote, even under unâ€" favorable conditions would have amâ€" ply justified such action. Majorities under our institutions are supposed |to rule. Here an artifical standard was set up, by the Legislature, largeâ€" ly through the efforts of the late Mr. Pattullo, but it has been amply (eâ€" | monstrated _ that it is largely | for \|‘"Onamental Purposes,‘"" and it would ‘{have been quite proper for the Leg: { islature to deal with its own artifical | |barrier, after taking all the circumâ€" . | stances ingo consideration.
