The question of the position, size, etc., of ornamental signs on Kent and William-sts. was discussed at some length. ‘ Deputy~reeve Eyres though the Chief of Police should be relieved from the awkward position he was in at present regarding the matter. The Chief should be instructed to enforce the present by-law throughout, or the by- law should be amended. The several committees of the town Council were in session last week, with the following members present: Mayor Begg, Reeve Geo. A. Jordan, Deputy-reeve Eyres, and Aldermen McGeough. Smale, Dobson, Calvert and W. W. Jordan. Police and Lighting Committee. With Chairman McGeough in the chair, the Police and Lighting committee handled considerable rou- tine business, including the recom- mending of the payment for special constable fees for Labor Dav and on Fair days, and for lighting. There is no specified height for the signs at present, but there is for awn- ings, and some of the latter are too low.

Mayor Begg pointed out that a good ornamental sign could not be erected to go within the two feet lim it. allowed by the present by-law. Ald. Smale thought that some of the signs might mar the appearance of the main streets and he counselled special carefulness in making any change in the by-law. Ald. McGeough believed that a good sign was a benefit to the town. All the big towns had these signs. They gave a town a modern appearance, and many of them were real works of art and added beauty to the street. Advertising on Posts. .\l(l. Smale also called attention to the amount of advertising boards, hands and other devices on posts throughout the town. If allowed to go unchecked. Ald. Smale thought that all the posts in town would be. disfi- gured.

This amend- drafted by the ment will provide for the issuing of permits for the ercetion of oramen tal signs under certain conditions, and the signs will be under the super- vision of the Chief of Police or oth- er official appointed by Council. The height that these signs must conform to was not definitely settled, but it is likely that they will be about 8 feet up from the sidewalk. Machine Telephone Poles.

Lind- say for permission to connect with Kent street sewer was granted, and the Council will also pay for extra tile to the amount of $14.00 used. Mr. Lindsay had to build 144 feet of sew- er on Albert street at his own cost. owing to the blocking by some parties of the signing for the work. The clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Thornhill that he must remedy at once the trouble caused by excava- tions made at his property through which part of a town fence had fall- en down and other damage been caus- ed and further damage threatened. Snow Ploughing. Ald. Dobson brought forward the necessity of seeing about the snow- ploughing for the season. It was de- cided to advertise for tenders for the work. This year the East Ward will be divided into two partsâ€"north, and south, of Queen street. Finance Committee. The passing of a number of ac- counts was authorized by the Finance Committee with Deputy Reeve Eyres in the chair. Licenses for Moving Pictures. Then the matter of the license for the moving picture shows was taken up. In view of the fact that the by- law .had not been passed until the year was half through, it was decided to charge the two moving-picture shows $25.00 each to Dec. 31. this year.

The request of the Baker Lumber Company for a hydrant near their mill and for the use of hose for prompt usage in case of fire was considered. The general feeling was that a mill employing so many men should have every consideration possible. The Mayor was in favor of an extension _,_Â¥_u V as in other cases. The Mayor and the Chairman of the Finance Committee have appointed a committee to look into the matter and consult with he water comissioners and the Baker Lumber Co. to see what could he done.

There was plenty of land for a park and it would make. a dandy. Ald. McGeough wanted to give the people an opportunity to vote on the question. Aid. Calvertâ€"I think most of the people are in favor of it. Mayor Beggâ€"I would like to see a. park all right, but I question whe- ther we can afford it or not. Ald. McGeough asked the aldermen to declare themselves one way or an- other on the matter. Some of them. however. considered the question of cost was not clear enough as yet, and further consideration will be given the matter.
