The insurance rates would be reduc- ed. and in the ordinary course` of events this. might have occurred. The unfortunate showing at the recent inspection by the Underwriters, how-l ever, postpones any such change and the business `section of the town must_ continue. to pay the price because of others blunders.

Beardsley had arranged to have the -old man sent back. for the .winter. He was last seen just before eleven o clock and it` is thought that he walked o the end ef the dock. The first drowning of the season occurred on Monday night, V when Jas. J. Hill, an agedresident of Essa, and as well-kno.wn `character about Barrie walked off the dock at Mulcaster St. Nothing was known of the tragedy until Tuesday morn- ing. when two lads saw the body standing` erect in about ten or twelve feet of water immediately in front of 'Carley sv -boat house. They notied C. W. Carley who immediately re- covered the body and notied Drs. Hart a11d'.Ross. How the body came to be so far from the dock and in an upright position is `a mystery, the theory being that when the Fishery boat, Naiad, went out in the morn ing, that it stirred. up the water and oated the body dove .
