MAHONY STILL IN GRAPE GROWERS SOUTH GRIMSBY WANTS TOWN LINE REDlVIDED A co-operative spirit of a very practical sort was shown by the Nia- gara District Grape Grdwers Limited on Saturday, ‘when at a meeting of the directors held in St. Satharines, a resolution was passed not only In pressing Mr. Mahony to retain his position as president ot the grape growers it was pointed out by the directors that the interests ot the two companies were identical and the closer amalgamation that could be accomplished between them the better it would be tor the fruit industry. This is especially true. it was averred, in regard to the mar- keting, which with the grape grow- ers has successfully been carried on. That new problems have arisen in the marketing end ot the business was stated by Mr. Mahony. This year' the canning factories will buy on the open market instead ot under contract as heretofore. The increase in freight mustang}. than vytltptisrty1rf,l. of the privilege' ot shipping' bf“??? press will all tend tomake the mar- keting more difficult. Another fac- tor that must mot he overlooked . is the decreased buying power owing to reductions in wages and unem- ployment.

Marlatt asked the Council to consider the advisability of building a cement sidewalk from the Post Of- tice at GRIMSBY East, North to the lake front. Hans Gracey, -Reeve of South GRIMSBY intrviewed the council with regard to redividing the- town line between North'. and South Whig From the arguments put forth at the regular meeting of the Township Council on Saturday afternoon last, apparently all the residents in the East end of the Township below the mountain want a water service pro- vided. Jay Book appeared at the meeting with a petition signed by practically all the owners and resi- dents living between the Park road and the Clinton Township line, ask- ing that it the. proposed water main is built that it be extended on East. Following him came James Marlowe with another largely signed petition asking that the water main, it built, be extended down the Park Road to the lake. Hans Gracey, Reeve of South GRIMSBY intrviewed the council with regard to redividing the town line between North-and South GRIMS BY. This year the County'has taken over a mile". of NorttvUNrrNBBr'tt share of the town line road, and South GRIMSBY would like to have the road redivided so that each town- ship would again have an equal por- tion. As it is now South GRIMSBY has more road to keep up than North GRIMSBY. Ever since the County my} ”(build: Reeve Mitchell told the spokesmen that there was hardly any doubt but what the water main would be built but advised the men to go to work and have petitions circulated in their sections and. also along the Highway between the town and the Park Road. Wm. Stewart will look after the interests of the people on Nelles Aven. When the petitions are all signed, then the Council will take the matter up in the regular way. The main would have to be built on the local improvement plan, with the residents paying forty per cent ot the cost, to be figured out on either the frontage 'basis or on the assess- ment basis. _ tion North Grimsby Now Has One Mile Less to Keep Up, Than Southern Neighbor, Owing to County Taking It Over-Petr. tions for Water Services Put In --Help Farmers Build Road.

Friday last happened to be his birthday, and in celebration of the event a number of therottieitt1 family ot the county foregathered and said some nice things about him. W. G. Sutton, Reeve ot Port Dal.. housie, was master of ceremonies. He summoned the clerk into the county treasurer's ottice, where he was greeted by the glad right hands of the warden,. R. W. Lane; the chairman of finance, R. H. Kemp; ex- road superintendent, Robertson and the county treasurer, Camby Winner For a moment or two, the genial county clerk ditin't understand just what the celebration was all about. But Mr. Sutton came to the ”\‘rescue.
