Wallwin Charges Road E N or Being Laid As Specified 1 Ald. Wallwin laid rather serious! and sensational cl1arg`es before the: members of Council at the regular meeting on Monday evening, when llu ~ declared that the pavement now un- cler construction is not being put down according to the specications. , He told his colleagues that the War- ren firm was no ; living up to its obliiaations and that the town was getting` a rank deal. The alderman didn't believe that the engineer was fullling` his duty. He had quoted matters at Barrie to a man who knows a great deal about road build- ing`. This man, according; to Ald. Wallwin, told him that_the .firm was stinting the town, and that the en- _2,'ineer must be standing` in with the paving: company. The company couldn t get away with such work in Toronto. In supporting: his arp:u- ment, Ald. Wallwin read two or three clauses of the contract, which, he! claimed, were not being` filled. One was a clause providing for a test of each carload of cement at tlze com- pany s expense. This. he said, was not done. Another was that the con- tract called for a crushed stone mix- ture and that eravel was being: used instead. In reply `to his contentions, Reeve Rusk pointed out that the question of testing: the cement was merely a technicalit_v. The cement was all one L"l`1(l0. himself and knew it. to be all rig.-`ht. .-\s for the second, the clause that provided for the use of crushed stone, stated that either crushed stone or gravel mig"nt be used. He" had used it, The rlnhnfn in-nan like all other I l l ( Finds Fault BC('{l11S0 C1-uslled Stone Mixtllre Not Being Used; Certain Ch1L1ses Not Being Fulfilled; Other Melnbers ]_')0 Not Agree.

Particular re- ference was made to the situation in Quebec. He pointed out that the Minister of Justice, Sir Lomer Gouin had resigned. and while he did not openly say he did so oxving to the scal policy, there can be no doubt that it was responsible, for he was paired with Hon. Dr. Tolmie, and when absent on previous occas- ions lzis pair had always been re- corded, but in connection with the hudgzct he wired Dr. Tolmie cancel- line` the pair, which enabled Dr. Tolmie to vote against the hud,e;et.

The County has lost a valued and faithful servant, and his two sisters, Misses Mary and Caro- line, mourn the loss of a kind and some time past, none thought that the attack which confined him to his bed three weeks ago would prove fatal. But the truth was that for months he had been unwell, more than his friends thougl1t, more than: he himself believed. But, devoted to the last, he kept at his daily tasks as long as possible, and last June performed his duties as messenger for the County Council just as l1v':< had done for tlzirty-nine years past.

Shortly after his birth his father died and his mother continued as caretaker for over fifty years. On her death the position was taken by deceased s sisters, Mi.-uses Caroline and Mary, with whom 'he made his home. Until June of wlast year when the sisters rcsi_e'ned owing` to ill health, the family lived in the building of their birth. The late Mr. Alfred Beardsley was specially interested in municipal -govrrmnent, and for six years, from 1905 to 1910, he represented Ward '2 in the Barrie Town Council. Dur- inn` this time he was chairman of .'~`e\'(-ral commit-tees and*proved him- self a wise councillor.

ORILLIA GETS GROUP WITHOUT A PLAY OFF At a meeting` of the executive of the Geor.rian Bay group of the O.B.A. held in Midland on Monday, `it was decided to have no play off between the first and second teams. `This decision gives the group cham- ipionship to Orillia, who nished first, having lost but one game.
