Here again we have an example of Mr. Brodie‘s methodical methods. Looke in the book is a motion in the handwriting of Clarke and signed by him and Durham‘s house to appoint committees but the note on the back says "Motion not put. Declared by | reeve out of order." At the February meeting Durâ€" ham and Grout got a motion through with Clarke and Wismer voting nay. The electric light plant was transferred to J. W. VanDyke in this month; and in Apenmmzmwuv.nw -mmummmuummnm building of another one. The request was laid over . and apparently nothing was ever done for the ruins of the factory are still there.

(I have given the names all through in the order that they appear in the minutes, and surmise that they were entered in the order of the number of their votes.) Brodie‘s salary was given a little boost this year being raised from $75 to $85 on the motion of Grout and~Clarke. The H. G. & B. bylaw was somewhat of a shuttlecock for a time but was finally passed. The electric light system was changed early in the year from arc to incandescent, thirtyâ€"five lamps being installed. The board of works wanted $668 but had to be satisfied with $500. In May Doran, Durham and Burland were made a comâ€" *mittee to inevstigate the cost of a waterworks syâ€" stem and in June it was decided to employ an engiâ€" neer to make an estimate.~ amended to read nine instead of eight o‘clock but their motion was lost. On June 20 and 21 the fireâ€" men held a demonstration and the council put up $15 to have the reading room in the fire hall paperâ€" The H. G. & B. bylaw had not as yet been passâ€" ed and in September after a first reading of the byâ€" law Clarke and Wirmer made a motion that Grout and Wismer be a committee to interview the merâ€" chants and find out their views regarding the railâ€" put the motion and left the chair, and after Grout had been elected to the chair the motion was carâ€" ried. In October the bylaw was read a third time, Durham and Doran voting nay, but when it was subâ€" mitted to the company it was refused as passed. On July 15 a poll was heldâ€"to vote on a bylaw to raise money for a bridge on Gibson avenue; the vote was favorable and tenders were called but the bridge was not built until the following year. At the July meeting in spite of the bylaw passed in May, 1880, to prevent the use of fireworks the council in July, 18096, set off a whole bagful. Durham and Burâ€" land moved that the bylaw respecting the H. G. & B. be read a first time and the motion carried without friction. The crew then went at the bylaw and cut and spliced it in several places, and had it read a second and third time but the reeve refused to sign it. It was then moved by Clarke and Durham that "the reeve sign the bylaw re H. G. & B. railway beâ€" fore this council adjourns." Then, "Moved by Grout, seconded by the reeve that this council do now adâ€" journ."â€"Lost. The reeve having refused to sign the bylaw Clarke and Durham moved that Grout be chairman in order to have the bylaw signed. This was declared out of order; and it was then "Moved by Grout, seconded by Durham that W. F. Clarke be chairman on account of reeve vacating the chair. â€"Carried. Durham and Burland then moved that the chairman sign the bylaw which carried, Grout And they nearly had waterworks too that year. A committee had been appointed and reported that the engineer M. W. Hopkins had estimated that $17,000 would be necessary and a bylaw was preâ€" pared and voted on on Oct. 22, 1896, to provide the money. The ratepayers apparently preferred beer for they turned the bylaw down. The rate Was 18 mills that year, and labor cost had risen to a dollar and four bits a day; teams were being paid $3. But our old enemy vox populi was loud in the next election, an entirely new council being elected though some of ummummummm it being the first entirely new council since incorâ€" poration it is worth reserving for another chapter.
