General Town Purposes rate Messrs. J. B. Hughes and E. P. Flintoft _ representing the Hospital Trust appeared before the Council in regard to a grant of $600 to the Hosâ€" pital this year.

The extra expense would amount to about $800. HOGGâ€"METCALFE BYâ€"LAW DISCUSSED The mass mecting held in the Watâ€" erloo Town Hall Tuesday evening for the purpose of discussing the Hoggâ€" Metcalfe byâ€"law, which will be subâ€" mitted to the electors on April 9th, was fairly well attended, about 75 being present. All the â€" speakers voiced their approval of the byâ€"law, and were confident that if passed it would benefit the town. The report of the Finance Commitâ€" tee, A. Weidenhammer, Chairman, reâ€" commending ‘that the rate for _ the year 1906 be struck at 19 mills, as per estimates submitted as follows, was received and adopted: It was pointed out that Berlin was contributing $1500 in cash in addiâ€" tion to a fire escape, which had been formerly. in use on one of the public buildings, valued at $300. The â€"matterâ€"will beâ€"dealt with at a full meeting of the Council, ® Mayor E. F. Seagram, who occuâ€" pied the chair, called the meeting to order shortly after cight o‘clock and in a brief speech outlined some of the benefits accruing to the town _ from the‘ establishment "of the industry here. The Company were only asking $7500 and would themselves invest $9000 in the business, not a cent _ of the loan to be paid until the whoic $9000 had been invested. He trusted that the electors would turn out and give their hearty support to the byâ€" law. Mr. Geo, Moore, in course of his speech said that the proposition when first brought to the attention of the Board of Trade was not looked upen as a strong one, but since the whole matter had been explained and everyâ€" thing carefully considered, and since the proposition had received the enâ€" dorsement of the Board of Trade, the Council had seen fit to submit a byâ€" law, he thought it a safe guarantce that the proposition was all right,; and that the people should vote for it. In order to prosper the town must encourage new industrics to Toâ€" cate here and although we could not hope to get large concerns here, the town ought to offer inducements for smaller industriecs to come to Waterâ€" loo. _ The men at the head of this Company woere energetic and experiâ€" enced, and the goods displayed were fine samples of their work, and would no doubt find a ready market, In conâ€" cluding he trusted the clectors would come out and vote for the byâ€"law and carry it by a good majority.

Mr. Haedke appeared before. the Council in regard to an extra grant of $25 to each of the auditors _ for their work during the past year. This matter was laid over until a _ full meeting of the Council. Mr. Eckert requested permission to place a pier in the creeck, which would rest on some town property. A comâ€" mittee of the Council will look into the matter. The Chairman of the Board _ of Works called the attention of the Council to several matters in conâ€" nection with hbis department, which veed remedying, including the grading of John street. 34 Mr. C. Shantz asked to have Erb street widened by taking in a part of his farm. His request was also laid over for consideration. Mr. Gutpel complained about .the overflowing of water onto his proâ€" perty in the vicimty of Park street, near the C.P.R. track, and Mr. Dotâ€" zert asked for improvements on Founâ€" dry street. Both matters were laid over. A petition from J. Hoffman and others in regard to teamsters enâ€" gaged in town work, asking $3.50 per day, was referred to the Board of Works. A letter was received from Mr. H. G. Lackner, stating that the comâ€" munication regarding Niagara power would be properly brought before the Government. A letter was read from the Mayor of Toronto asking that representaâ€" lives from this place be present at a meeting to be held in Toronto on April l1ith, at which the representaâ€" The Council will make a tour of inâ€" spection to consider what is to be done. The matter of butchers‘ licenses was brought up by the Mayor,. The Clerk will look up the byâ€"law in this regard and draft a suitable amendâ€" ment to same. The advisability of having milk tests oftener was discussed at length and a resolution passed to the effect that an ‘inspection be made of the premises of the milk dealers as well as the premises of the farmers from whom the milk is obtained, and that it be tested not less than four times a year, said test to be published. cost the ratepayer about 10 cents on] every $1,000 assessment. The town; will be secured by a mortgage on all the stock and machinery, and when‘ later they érect a building the tovqn! will have a mortgage on it also. . A similar concern had started in Dunnâ€" ville about three years ago with a staff of seven hands, which had since been increased to 125. â€" Indications were that this concern would also evâ€" entually become one of the . town‘s most flourishing industries. He conâ€" gidered the HMoggâ€"Metcalie byâ€"law to be the strongest ever submitted to the ratepayers of Waterloo. Mr.~J. H. Roos said that the proâ€" position when first brought to the attention of the Board of Trade was considered a weak one, but when its possibilities had been explained, they thought it would be a good thing for Waterloo. The town must get manuâ€" facturers to locate here, and he beâ€" lieved this concern would be the nuâ€" cleus of a big industry. Mr. A. Weidenhammer referred â€" 10| Teachers‘ salarics... ... ... .....$503.73 several industrics, ‘the Schierholtz;! C.

The industry had been in operation for about . two iwo years in Galt, during which time a thriving industry had resulted nndJ it had been found necessary to inâ€" crease the capacity of the factory Iu‘ order to meet the everâ€"growing _ deâ€" mand for their special lines of manuâ€" facture. They. would start with 25 hands and inside of a year would emâ€"« ploy 35 hands. Seven men with their families would also move to Waterloo besides a number of skilled men. They would get as many of the balance of their employes from Waterloo as posâ€" sible. _ The goods displayed in the windows of Messrs. Bricker & Co. and J. Uffelmann, would give them an idea of the goods they propose to manulacture, for which there was . a ready market. He was confident that it the hm was established here it would a credit to the town. Mr. John Letter also voiced his apâ€" proval of the byâ€"Jaw. ces In reference to a communication from Mr, J. H. Winkler, Secy, of the Waterloo Horticultural Sotiety, in reâ€" gard to allowing Mr. Peart, of the Agricultural Department, to address the school children on.the subject of gardening. The necessary permission ]was given. The property committee was instructed to ask for tenders for railings to be placed around the grass plots at the school.

SCHOOL ,BOARD AGAIN MEET WHEN READY FOR THAT PAlR OF Monthly Meeting Held.â€"Acâ€" counts Passed and Other Business Transacted. Mr. W. J. Swallow, â€" representing the Chamberlain Metal Weather Strip Co., of Stratford, _ appeared before the Board in regard to improvements in instailing weather strips in . conâ€" nection with the rooms of, Mr. Fischâ€" er and Miss Curry. The Property Committee was instructed to have the work done. 4 Mr. Cork‘s request to engage a paâ€" per hanger was granted, the Board to supply the paper. f The subject of building a _ ward school in the southwest portion . of the town was informally discussed. The accommodation at the public school is hardly adequate and as an addition will have to be built in ordâ€" er to provide the necessary room, the idea of utilizing . the money . which would go towards cnlarging the presâ€" ent school in building a new _ ward school was favorably received by the Board. The building of such a school wou‘ld relieve the congestion and also proâ€" vide more room, which could be utâ€" ilized in installing closets inside the building. _ However, it is notâ€"probable that any definite action will be taken for some time to come. In view of the alarm of fire sent in recently and the prevailing opinion that it was a fake, the Chairman of the Fire Committce, to test the speed of the firemen, in responding to an alarm, sent in an alarm from Box 43, at,the corner of Church and King streets, near the Central school on Tuesday morning at 12.55 o‘clock. The firememn responded in a very short time, Mr. Glaister being at the fire hall in six minutes, with _ his team, and at the school grounds in ten migutes, Mr. 1.

No one connected with the fire deâ€" partment was aware that an alarm was to be sent in, except the memâ€" bers of the Town Council, who were present"At the Council meeting.
