The sum of $500 had al- ready been advanced `and a final pay- lment of $187.79 was authorized by council on Monday night when :1 complete statement of receipts and expenditures was submitted. The town had guaranteed up to $1,000. There was no `comment made at council and the celebration account at the -bank has now been closed out. In comparison with other towns of Barrie s size the statement is con- sidered highly satisfactory. There was absolutely no marl: or bruise on the .lad s head and it was most difficult to diagnose his case. Later Dr. W. C. Little was called in consultation and it was decided to summon Dr. McKenzie, a specialist, from (Toronto. The latter arrived just as the boy was coming to. The injury was pronounced by the doctors to be concussion of the brain. The youth stayed in the hospital until -Saturday and was kept under close observation. Medical men ex- plain that there have `been cases where victims -of similar accidents have not colllapsed until hours after sustaining the injury. These cases, however, are rare. --vs...- -. -. wvuuvllvo vv u.u uu UHC llt.'1' ll. `In some manner he tripped and fell v backwards, alighting on the back of his head.

Aacontentious Subject The chief point of contention -was the engagement of a town foreman, the choice finally falling upon Ed- 1 ward -Shuter, who just a month ago `1 resigned to take the position` of cash 7` ier in the government liquor store at Barrie. Mr. Shuter /has had some- what of a chequered career as 3a civic employee. Less than two years ago he was discharged by council. This spring council refused to entirely meet his demands `for a salary in-. crease, ecompromisinig at $120 a month. Monday night-he was re-en- gaged at $135 a .month.- Council was given tounderstand that he was pre- pared to resign his other position to take up his former duties, al- though there was yet'nothing cer- tain in this regard. n 43 Years Merchant Here; V Has Faith in Barrie Fair vo'n-: EIGHT TO` SEVEN Ald.
