Council Deci Clean Up May Expropriate Lands of Arthur Wilkinson--Coun- cil Looks Toward Disposing of Now Famous Case Which Has Taken Its At- tention for Some Time DISCUSS MATTER IN COMMITTEE Council Accepts Offer of So- licitors for H, A. Butt to Buy Land at $400 an Acre With Certain Restrictions Expropriation of such lands owned by Arthur Wilkinson as may be re- quired by the city was proposed and icceptance with certain reservations of on offer received from Conant and Annis, solicitors for H, A. Butt was decided upon by the council in session last night. In such manner the coun- cil hopes to reach settlement in the now famous Butt-Wilkinson affair wherein at one time the mayor, coun- cil and civic officials were threatened with a jail term. 'Regarding the sug- gestion that action be taken against the Hydro Electric Power Commission nothing further has been done. Col. J. F. Grierson, K.C., city solicitor, who was instructed at the last meeting to obtain a written opinion as to the vali- dity of the city's claim against the Commission wrote back asking that same member or members of the coun- cil accompany him when he goes to Toronto to interview counsel. This reply was veferred to committee, he offer made on behalf of H. A' Butt and which the city has now agreed to accept inolves the purchase of some twenty-five acres of land at 1 cost of $400 per acre from Mr, Butt. I'he offer, which was made without prejudice, specifically states that the city shall he forego its claim to tax arrears on the property. amounting to approximately $500, shall not require Mr Butt to share in the erection of a fence between this property under con- sideration and that which he will re- tain and shall pay the expenses in connection with having the land sur- veyed to find out what its exact area is. The council is willing to purchase the land at this figure provided Mr. Butt will release the city from all claims and demands for any damages heretofore suffered by him or that may hereafter be suffered by him by rea- son or on account of the storm sewer and the St. Julien street sewer dis- charging upon the property and also from any claims for damages suffered by him by reason of a city dump being on the property. An offer was also received from Conant and Annis on behalf of Arthur Wilkinson but council rejected it as heing unreasonable and ordered that the city solicitor fully advise on the matter of expropriating such lands be- 'onging to Mr. Wilkinson as required ior the purposes of the city. Council went into the committee of he whole to consider the offers made mn behalf of Messrs. Butt and Wilkin-: son. As council has voted against ad- nitting press to committee meetings 'ull details in connection with the Wil- <inson offer are not made public. It 1s understood that the members of ouncil in committee were by no means unanimous in the decision to accept he offer made on behalf of Mr. Butt. 't would have been possible to have net the difficulty by building a sewer ser the land in question and one fac- sion urged that this be done.

C. of Cobourg, represented the fam- ily in presenting the case to the So- Mcitor General's department at Ot- tawa. It will be remembered that a charge of manslaughter was laid against Percy Cowan on account of his motor striking a young woman on the Highway near Bowmanville The defence was that he was blinded with the glare of the lights of an oncoming motor bus and did not see the young woman until too late to , avert the fatal disaster.
