The council appointed a commitâ€" tee comprising the Mayor, Deputy Roeve Brill and councilior Baner to confer with Reltsel‘s Limited reâ€" garding the purchase of a strip ot land extending from Allen to Norâ€" man Atreet, which had been sot On the recommendation of deputy reeve Brill of the Police Committee, new uniforms will be purchased for the police officers from R. Braun lick, whose tender of $117 was the lowest write the county clerk in regard to the matter. The question of paving the Bridgeport road was brought up by Eoard of Works chairman L. F. Dietâ€" rich, who said he had been assured by Engineer Irwin of the Highways Department that the town would receive 50 per cent of the cost of the 20 foot strip if the road was paved this year. The Bremnnan Pavâ€" Ing Co. informed him they could do the paving this year for less money than last year. In order to get the matter under way Reeve Dietrich suggested that the petition be circulated at once. Mayor Henâ€" derson, however, was not in favor of proceeding with the matter until the council had an understanding in writing with the Highways Departâ€" ment that they would pay 50 per cent. of the 20 foot strip. The town had not received its portion of the cost of the north King street paveâ€" ment from the county, said the Mayor. The clerk was instructed to New Uniforms Ordered. Amos M. Weber and Emanuel Weber of the town limits appeared before the council and requested that the public road leading to their farms be repaired.

Councilior Bohlender could see no reason for all the discussion as the council had previously disposed of the matter by a vote of 6 to 2. As far as the legality of the resolution was concerned, councilior Bohlen-‘ der said he would rather take the solicitor‘s word than that of counâ€" cillor Bauer. ‘ Granted $50.00. Reeve L. F. Dietrich strongly reâ€" sented the statement of councilior Kaufman that there was underhandâ€" e1 work. The petition had been cirâ€" lated by himself on instructions from the council and was properly signed. To say that there was underhand work is absolutely upâ€" true. | â€" _ Councilior Bauer said â€"he could ’not see that the council had the "anthority to exempt the ratepayers on Erb street from paying their just share of the cost. Because a misâ€" take was made in the assessment of the north King street pavement it is no reason why it should be reâ€" peated on the Erb street road. Ratcâ€" payers pay their roads on the 75 and 25 per cent. basis and it is not just or fair to ask them to help pay 60 per cent. of the cost of the 20 foot strip on Erb street.

A brief but warm discussion was hcld when Commissioner Bechte) moved that the press representaâ€" tives be excluded from the meeting. It was pointed out by chairman Huehn and commissioner (il'eumnx1 that the reports given of the meetâ€" Ings were not always correct nnd‘ as the business before the meeting concerned Kitchener it was not deemed wise to give it publicity until something definite â€"had been arrived at. Commissioner C. Gies however strongly objected to holdâ€" ing a closed meeting and threatened to withdraw if the motion was carâ€" ried. The motion was withdrawn by commisioner Bechtel and the matter closed. MRS. FRED McAVOY, FORMER WATERLOO WOMAN, SERIOUSLY INJURED was seconded by Allan Bechtel and carried. agreement with Kitchener and again manufacture at the Waterioo plant. Chairman Huehn stated that he had hoped the Kitchener price had been lower so that Waterloo could sell gas to consumers at a substan tisl reduction. He also pointed out that Waterloo would be required to keep the gas plant in condition in case Kitchener could not carry out its agreement, ' Mayor W. Henderson expressed the opinion that if the gas price was lowered there would be a subâ€" stantial increase in the number of consumers. His firm he said tound gas more satisfactory than electricâ€" ity and if the price of gas was lowerâ€" ed they would not use electricity. A goodly number of other places of business and householders would do the same with the result that it would help both towns and make a further reduction in price possitble. Commissioner A. K. Cressman said that no definiite decision could be made at this meeting because no agreement had been drawn up. Com:â€" missioner C.

With these exceptions, the deceased spent all her life in Waterloo Counâ€" ty, and chifefly in the homestea which was erected in Blair by her ‘\rarher in 1832 and remained in his possession and her husband‘s sucâ€" cessively for 74 years. in 1906 this place, now the home of Capt. Dick: son, was sold to Mr. J. Gault of New York; and thenceforth Mr. Bowman, with the deceased and their daughter lived in Preston. Mrs. Bowman‘s mother was a woman of notable kindness, a quality that réeâ€" appeared in the daughter; and the Blair homestead of that day was the scene of an endless succession of hospitalities to â€" relatives, friends and all other comers. From this standpoint the place, in its setting and all its surroundings, natural und other, was idegl; but its paraâ€" mount charm remained always the now departed hostess, and the host and their amiable family. The full force of this statement will be ap peciated by those only â€"and they are manyâ€"who from time to time enjoyed in this beautiful retreat a day, a week, a month, as the case inight be, under their deft, unoh trusive care. A like sanctuary none ever found, nor can one hope to find, again. Beside Mr. Bowman, there remain to mourn the deceased, two daughâ€" ters and one son, Miss Lida Bowâ€" man of Preston, Mrs. W. G. Lang of Winnipeg, and Harry of Vancouver; also two grandchildren. Of the doâ€" ceased‘s three ibrothers and threo sisters the only survivor is Elizaâ€" beth, widow of the late 3. P.

This was the first white settlement within the present bounds of Lancaster county and the first interior whice sottlement in the province of Pennâ€" sylvania. Mrs. Bowman‘s descert from Wendell Baumann was through his eldest son Christian, while thai of Mr. Bowman is through Wendel‘s gecond son, Peter. ‘ mill, and a granddaughter of Rev. Jeseph Bowman (1766â€"1849) who setâ€" tled> at Blair, from Berks county, Penn., in 1816. Her mother was Elizabeth Bowman (1811â€"1865) of Berks county, Pa. The deceased was was a descendant, in the fifth genâ€" erition, as is likewise her husband, Mrs. Bowman was born at Blair on July 25, 1839, and was married to Mr. Bowman on September 2nd, 1870. She was the eldest daughter and second child of Samuel B.
