The snow on the upper part of the building over the big merryâ€"goâ€"round slid part way down the roof and then stuck, increasing the weight tremendously on the corâ€" ners of the building with the result that the northâ€"east and the southâ€" west corners collapsed. Caretaker Fair and Mr. Jake Walters got a gang of men and propped up the rest of the roof and then sent men up and shovâ€" elled the snow off. The damage will be close around fifteen hundred dollars.

A} little*® over fifty years ago, he was united in wedlock with Miss Margaret, Hippel. Last winter, surrounded by\ relatives and friends, they celebrated. their golden wedding.

The ratepayers and citizens of the said municipality reâ€" quest this council to forward this application to the proper quarter. This report was adopted. The Finance Committee handed in their‘ first report as follows:â€"We find it necessary to negotiate a temâ€" porary loan to meet current expensâ€" es until the June session and after consulting the treasurer we recomâ€" mend that a byâ€"law be passed author izing the Warden and â€" Treasurer to borrow $50,000. We do not anticipate that it will be necessary to use this amount as we expect those municipal ities in arrears for county rates â€" will meet theirâ€"obligation. We think _ it advisable to have a byâ€"law to borrow the above mentioned sum rather than make an overdraft. Your committee recommend that Mr. A. Zimmerman caretaker, be paid the sum of $10 for each session of the county council. That an account of Mr. Boyle was presented and owing to the legal points involved it was decided to deâ€" fer adjustment until the‘ June session.

President Crow, who presented most of the figures quoted above, and seyv eral growers maintained that â€" the president had estimated â€" several items of expense altogether too low. ‘"‘Well, gentlemen, I desire to be on the. safe side, We must beâ€" fair. We have a case that cannot be disâ€"â€" puted and I would sooner be a little too low than to get on an uncertain line that might occasion a dispute. Even as low as the figures are, it shows our position, I don‘t think we should be sacrificed altogether." . lt was reported that the averagze crop in Niagara township last year was but one hundred and sixty bush els to the acre. a good crop ‘and if you study‘ it close ly you will see the loss, but I can show where tomatoes have been grown at a loss at a yield of six hundred bushels to the acre. Now, how many growers had a crop that big last year?" "Twenty years ago it was more profitable to grow tomatoes at 20c per bushel than it would be this year to raise them at 40 centsâ€"ten cents in advance of what we receiv ed last year, and _ 15 cents \.above what the company would pay us this year," remarked Mr. ~Charles Secord. "Then lumber for frames ;was cheaper, and we could buy man ure for fifty cents per load. It is Row $1.50 to $2 per ton, which means ~$4 per load that we could get then for half a dollar. Lumber at that time was $14 per thousand feet, now it is $30. Hired help was $1 to $1.25 per day, now it is $2. Glass is double in price; land, three to five times greater in value; the diseases ‘and cost of coimnbatting them have increas ed until it staggers you. Potash only a year ago was fortyâ€"two dollais per ton, and this year, on account of the war, it has jumped to $150 and $200 per ton, to say nothing of the county rates on @ccount of patrio tic funds, etc. I tell you gentlemen, four hundred bushels to the acre is GROWERS LOSE MONEY conclusion that if the company want ed any tomatoes, thirty cents would have to be paid. It was gener ally taken for granted that the canâ€" ners have a big supply on hand, but were willing to _ pile up some more stock if they could find enough growers so carried away with the idea of producing tomatoes that they would grow them for _ twentyâ€"five cents.
