Speaking at a. dinner given to the directors of Alliston Hospital re- cently, T. P. Loblaw, whose gener- osity has made the hospital pos- . sible, stated that the stock present-. ed to the hospital trust a couple of years ago had more than doubled in value and that he had tied that stock up to prevent its getting on the open market. All things consid- ered, he said, it would be much bet- ter if the hospital trust -had some- thing absolutely definite on which vtO work. Briey, Mr. Loblaw stated . that he would take up the stock and lglve the board of trustees either $200,000 in cash or $100,000 in cash| and a block of stoc-k which at the `present time is worth in the neigh- iborhood of $7,000.a year.

A little figuring, says The Her- ald, soon disclosed to the members of the board the depth of generosity contained in the second offer which ` | meant that in all probability the Stevenson Memorial hospital would enjoy an income of ten or twelve, and perhaps fifteen, thousand dol- ilars a. year in a very short time.

That property was all burned on June 24th, 1870. The tire started -in the stable and went a- round the `whole block and there was not a stick left on it.

Where the` Bank of Commerce is there was a log building, which was originally owned by Mr. Rearny, sheriff at the Soo. It exchanged hands several times until it got into the hands of the King family and then to the Bank of Commerce.

The town was divided into factions as to what type of engine to gee-one wanted a rotary engine and another something else, etc.-and the ex- citement got so hot that there were actually four or five` steam engines here at one time.

THE ROADS AT BRENTWOOD To the Editor of The Examiner: , Dear Sir,-I read in a recent issue of a local paper that the Sun- nidale Council passed a resolution opposing t=he proposed change in the County road south of Brent- 'wood and instructing the clerk to write Isaac Scott to that effect. Be it known that Isaac Scott is one of three men chosen by County Council from its own ranks and of the best material available to work in conjunction with the County en- gineer on roads and bridges. Mr. Scott, an outsta-nding figure of the- County Council, is chairman of this committee which is considered to be one of the most efficient in the province of Ontario. This is the calibre of men who shall decide~as to whether or not a change in the road is essential. I learn from a reliable source that the cost of constructing the proposed routepwoulvd not exceed that of building the present road, would shorten the distance about three-quarters of a mile and remove the danger of. two bad railway cross- ings; also greatly reduce the cost of maintenance. a r M... cnem-mad that some time of maintenance. I am informed that some ago a. large deputation waited upon the Hon. Geo. S.
