This br.di^e was budt by money to the towngi ip from the co inty, but mi'ne\8 also'utily paid by the la'e payers indirectly. Tiio principle is this, if nieniory serves : This fund arose mit of buildm-i a bridje at Meaford, for which the whole County was liable. Now A le inisia's share was, my 8c<00, towards the bridge. I'.ulthe fathers of the county tliouuht that if they had to be taxed for this hrideo, an eipial siiin to the co.t of Iniildii.g ahiiuld be raised fur the pr h nt use of the inu licipdities. l{y this mode Meafnrd will pay her shuro of the new levy. It siaiids thus : In.sti ad of tax- iiiff the (leople 9300(J only (sav) for Mea- foid bndiro, the hum of gofKK) additional was raised, aim the additional Ji-'IOOO were divided proportionately aninng the town ships; §800 was Arteiin.siii's share, but it IS seen "-.bat the people pay the whole bill. This is indirect taxttion with a veiiL'cance. It is provided for by the county, and ratepayers are coni|)aratively ignnrant of it. Tiie Eii'jenia bridno was tmilt from such moneys. However, this system Was inanj!uriit"d many yeirs nyo. The fiijures may not bo correctly yiven, lint are sutlicient to exhibit the piinciple Tl-.e riiihteouaiKss of the nieihod is ques- tionable. These notes would bo scarcely complete without tnontioiiing our };rt<i<ent clerk, \y. J. Bellamy, I'Jsq,, who became clerk on the 5th day of April, 1880, succeediiiL' J. W. Henderson, Ksq. The council was very furtunsro in the selection'. Never offensive, Mr. nellamy is always really lo give to eveiy one any infonna- tinn ill his pi.ssesaion touchinc the atfairs of the township. His duties are per- fi'nind without fufs or fury. He pons- esses un(|eHtionalilo ability, and is truat- woitliy without comment.

He made himself rjuite proiniiient as a citizen. He was a rou'jh, rash m in, and met his death traKicdly. He was f itlier of a Inriie fsmily of children, but obverse in pbar.\cter in every particular.
