The Agreement of Conditions on the Annexation, presented by the Town Council occupied the time of the council for most of the afterâ€" noon. NORTH GREMSBY COUNCIL The North GRIMSBY Council held a short session on Saturday in the Council Chambers, GRIMSBY. The other proposal, that steamship companies shoul(i come under the jurisdiction of the railway board, would also be considered in connection with the general revision. \ s After other evidence had been taken, Hon. Frank Cochrane, in a brief statement, announced that the bill could not be proceeded with this session, because legislation of a general character had not been taken up. He considâ€" ered that the fruit growers had made out a good case for stop over and other privileges, and it would be considered when â€" general revision of the railway act is proceeded with probably at next session of parliament. Jas. A. Livingston, fruit grower of Grimsby, was next heard in support of the bill. He said the railway companies should give fruit growers the same privileges as are given to other shippers. Mr. Fleming, on behalf of the fruit growers of the Niagara district, said that the fruit growers were all favorable to Mr. Armstrong‘s bill. It was reasonable that stopâ€"over privileges granted to live stock dealers and other shippers, should also be extended to producers of perishable fruits. Small concessions were particularly desirable in connection with the shipment of perishable fruit, but the Railway Board could not authorize them. For instance, fruit growers wanted the privilege of sending a man with largexy shipments of fruits to points in western Canada. All the fruit growers de sired that they shall have the same privileges which are extended to shipâ€" pers of other commodities. Mr. MaclIntosh, representing the Fruit Growers‘ Association of Ontario, said that in connection with requests they had made, the Railway Board, while admitting that it was reasonable and good business, took the view â€" that it would not extend or reduce the privilege. ' ? E. A. Lancaster, chairman, raised the objection that under the Rail way Act the Railway Board already has control over the special privileges granted to shippers by the railway. Mr. Armstrong quoted several judgments of the board to show that it does not exercise control in all cases. The Railway Committee of the Commons Tuesday morning gave considerâ€" ation to J. E. Armstrong‘s bill to amend the Railway Act.. The bill proposed to make steamship lines subject to the control of the Railway Board, _ and also to give the Board authority over the privileges and concessions which railways give to shippers.

The naâ€" tural flowers were very pretty, being composed of carnations, pinks, daffoâ€" dils single and double, stocks and primulas. The napkin rings were all made of tin and the pretty candlesticks were of home manufacturé and were much admired. Several asked for permisâ€" sion to take one home as & souvenir. The day and evening were most beautiful and fine and the home was prettily decorated with festoons of tin, made out of pieces cut in different shapes and anglesâ€"punctured in one end and threaded on red cord about 2% inches apart. These were used in ornamenting and draping the winâ€" dows, chandelier, archways, etc., and when the electric current was turned on, they shone like the morning sun in a clear sky.
