Chairman Boys said he had given the power question a good deal of thought and from - gures he had received from Mr Dickinson, Toronto, and Mr. Johnson. the engineer. the price would be too high for local consumers to pay. The cost in Toronto is lower on account of the power being sup- plied bv direct current, instead of alternat- ing current as would be necessary in Barrie. Chairman Boys promised to submit figures and full information on the" power question at the next meeting of the Council.

The report recommending that the services of Mr. Carpenter be dispensed with on May 1st. was then adopted, the only dissenting voice being Alderman Bennett MINIMUM WATER RATE ABOLISHED. On motion of Alderman Boys and Ben- C nett. the $5 minimum water rate was - abol- ished. The mover explained that on one side of the street a man may have ve ten- ants all supplied with water throuah the `meter, at a total cost of $5` or $6, while on the other side of the street ve tenants not `using a meter would have to pay at least $5 each or. $25. This would be _very unfair. The object of the Council should be to en- courage `the introduction of water`-meters, -then the Council would receive pay `for all the water -they supplied, and a paying rate is 30 per 1000 gallons. Under the at rate system, a man may pay only $6 for a tap for a year and perhaps use $12 worth ot water; this meant a loss of $6 to the water department. The motion was carried`.

' T ' "I beg leave herewith to acknowledge the receipt of. resolution of sym athy adopt- ed by you at your meeting of uncil -held on 5th inst. Let me assure you on behalf of myself an_d family, that your kindly worded expression of sympathy with us in this dark hour oftrial is to us most com: forting. Not the least source of comfort to us at this time has been the oft-repeated assurances of sympathy from friends far and near Your reso ution came quite unexi peetedly-and is to us a further assurance if suohwere needed. of how deeply the hearts of our fellow citizens have been moved by this sad event. ` fI'!L- E_-A. 4.`._L ---.. ..___L -4.... an Ivan % Rev. .A."IV"inE1a-v"i.

UH UVUIJ Us - The fact that our gallant son fell as you I say in defence of the Empire and the rights and liberties at British citizens is to us a source of comfort. If this cruel war has the e'ect-which doubtless it will-of weld- ing more closely together the varied inter ests of that noble Empire of which we as Canadians are proud to form a part--while it secures for the downtroddn and oppressed those rights and liberties which under the British ag will be theirs--we feel honored` in being permitted to bear a share of the terrible price bv which these blessings are being purchased. .

Alderman Bennett ' asked if there was a dog by-law. The Mayor saidtherv was, and the dog tax is $1. . ROAD OVERSEERS APPQINTED. Chairman Powell recommended `that William Armstrong be appointed Overseer for that part of the town west of Victoria stre,et,and James Smith for the rest of the town, these men to get $1.50 per day when actually employed. Alderman Bennett said that if Overseers are to be appointed, they should becom- petent men ;` he thought there was no need of an overseer; a competent Engineer should be engaged who could superintend new sidewalk work as well as improve- gineer could be obtained ataoost not ex- ceeding what the two road Overseers will .-ant ' vvvv .-I.. .. --___ _, cost. . . Alderman McLean thought the town could not a'ord the luxury of Engineer, except for permanent sidewalk construction. Much of the work on the streets is of a very ordinary kind such as most men can super- intend. - Alderman Boys agreed with Alderman McLean's remarks. I: is their intention. he said to proceed at once with the extension of. the Waterworks System to Allandele, and for that work an Engineer would be re- quired. _ . Alderman Powell said that if they did have an Engineer, it would still be neces- sary to have an Overseer over a_ gang of men employed, for the Engineer would not be there all the time. .

Chairman Boys reported that it was necessary to reduce the number of employ- ees on the Electric Light Department, as there was not enough work for all to do. It was a question as to whether the man to be dispensed with should be Burton or Car- penter. This report `recommended that Burton be retained, his only reason for `the choice being that Burton had been working ' in the electric light plant for fourteen years. He recommended, however, that all wiring be given to Mr. Carpenter if he_ remained in town and his services were available. It was also his intentionto ask the committee to accept W. Hallettfs offer to remain in the Electric Light Station, and receive pay only when assisting at wiring for which the town is paid. or when acting as substitute for a pa d employee Chairman Boys said he had been interviewed that day by Stephen. Cle- ment who wished to become an apprentice at the Electric Light Station until the School of Practical Science opens ; he had agreed to take in what wood is required.
