A lively" discussion took place rc- garding the Board recommending the appointment of a Senator trom North Waterloo. 'Mr. W. J. Moody introduced the question and pointed out ti .t the Galt and Hamilton Boards oi Trade had taken action in this respect and were urging the Government to ap- point a successor to the late Sen- ator Meme: in their respective dis- tricts. He was ot the opinion that Berlin was entitled to a representa- tive in the f‘tnate. !

The retiring President then read his annual address, as it appears in an- other column, which was sttcntivcly listened to and loudly applauded. M its conclusion he pointed out that the opinions expressed, while not necessarily sanctioned by tho Board, were his personal views on public mums of interest to the town. Messrs.
