He congratulated the mem- bers on the way in which the busi- ness of the town had been conduct- ed during the year. After briey -referring to the strenuous times through` which the country is pas-! sing, the speaker took up the rail- way matter. During his term as Mayor a franchise had been grant-| ,ed the company and now an exten- sion of time was asked in which to build` the road. He then read a let- ter from the Co., which was later` presented to `Council. Mr. Cowan said a certain amount of grading had been done lasttyear and a por- tion of the right of way purchased, but nothing *more accoinplished owing to nancial conditions. Now` yheknewthat the work would be! started in two months. When the agiieement was entered into it was considered as good an agreement` as, was ever made `with an electric: railway. The people had sanction-ll ed the agreement `with an over-l whelming majority. The -trouble was that the company had not been able to "nance the scheme. At the time Barrie voted for the railway they wanted it and he felt sure they still wanted it. The company was`, honest. in their endeavor to push thel work. What was asked was that a resolution be passed extending the} franchise for another year. _ q .
