'- Packet %- Every. railway promoter in the Province seems to be wanting to run a line to Orillia. j A meeting` of Orillia. merchants was held on Tuesday evening to con- _sider the `Christmas markets. The Packet is -adding another story to` its building, thereby doubl- ing the space for the mechanical de- partment. ' V The Council of the Board of Trade has given its endorsation to a `sys- tem of municipal boathouses, the iplans for which have been submitted ` to the Council. I Major Hay, who has been in ?charge of the ' Northern Ontario Div ! Office of the `Salvation Army, will leave Orillia shortly.` The of ce at Orillia will be abolished, the work to be centralized at Toronto. At aimeeting of the Council, ex- mayors, press representatives and members of the Council of the Board. of Trade last Friday evening, the placing of the power plant, water- works `and sewers in the hands of .1 commission was discussed. The meeting favored a commission, but the details and limitations of the- `powers of such board _were ref_erred `to the C011I_`lCll f0'f, decisive action. The Packet last week celebrated its fortieth birthday. In this issue the editor grows reminiscent, print- ing several columns of most interest- ing reading matter of the times `when the present . proprietors and ,founders of the Packet were two 'of the boys. Messrs. Hale have ` grown with the stirring northern town. and `although numbered among the patriarchs of Orillia, they are still in the ~ ring, looking forward to the achievement of `greater things.
