The transaction is'this--the com- pany cothe-to Port Perry and put} up a building with fixed machinery 'the combined value of which «is 0) be $60,000, according to the valia-] | tion ofan official to be appointed by the Couficil. © This Lod§ also: satisfy "tliemselves that the new} company have sufficient working capital. When ; these. points have been settled, the Council issue debentures to the amount of $40,000 who! proceed to sell them. The town receive in return a mortgage covering the entire buildings and fixed machine:y valued at $6o,000. This mortgage takes precedence over all other liabilities, gnd is drawn in-such a manner. that the company agree to pay one-twentieth of the principal and interest each year fog twenty years, 'These pay- ments fall due each year before tlie town estimates are made up. In case the company fail to make these payments the Council mut at once 'proceed to levy a special tax to mect the liability. It is for this reason that provision is made in the by-law to 'levy the special tax as the law requires provision for all contingencies. 2 What is the financial stauding of the new company ? So far as we can learn they will invest $90,000, $60,000 of which will be spent in erecting the factory and equipping it with machinery, leaving $30,000 for working capital. This statement, which is given in good faith, s should be verified by the municipal "authorities. I'he im- portance of the financial ability of the company to be a ** going con- cern " is too great to be skimmed over as a side issue. 3 What is the connection be- tween the Weber Gas Engine Com- pany of Kansas City, and the Can- adian Weber Gas Engine Company? In our issue of last week the new company is spoken of as a "branch" of the old company, but this term may be taken too broadly. There was 10 ..intention to mislead our readers by this statement, although such may have been the effect. 'I'he factsare--the United States con, per cent. duty on all of their goods entering Canada. To avoid that duty they are causing a. Canadian company to be formed to manufac- ture Weber, Gas engines for the Canadian trade. They allow this new company. to use the name 4" Weber," and also all of their patterhs'and patents, ' _present and future. They get no payment for these privileges if the company is not 'successful; because what is given to the old company is com- 'mon stock, which is valueless. until he concern is paying profits. 4 at vote is unecessary to carry the by-law ?

Presentation to Mr. Young A man'who does his duty be- cause it is also his} pleasure looks for no other reward, but it is most natural to bring gifts to him. Such a man is Mr. Young, for three years teacher of science in our High School." If the citizens could go throtigh the room over which Mr. Young presided, they would find an excellent assortment of appara- tus much of which has been made by Mr. Young. The ingenious de- vices by which he teaches the light and sound theories show at once an unusual amount of skill and indus- try. The sense of order is good, and all the apparatus has recently been neatly labelled and catalogued. All this is very creditable, but it would be of little value from a teachin point of view but for one other fact -- 'the scholars like him and are successful under his tuition. As some evidence of this fact a pre- sentation was 'made to Mr. Young on Monday Tast. Mr. McBride in | referring to Mr. Young spoke par- ticularly of his unselfishness and the fact that money was not the first object of his ambition, The gifts were a very complete gentle ling companion and a Ww fountain pen. .

The school to which Mr, Downey is oing has ten rooms and it is pr bable that it will be used by the 'school.
