From THE "NortH-Crina Dary News," or June 10, 1878
The minutes of the Municipal Council meeting, held on the 3rd instant, as usual very brief; but they contain two matters of much interest, one to traders and the other to the community generally. It appears that Messrs. H. Evans & Ca., applied to have their soda-water exempted from dues when exported, "on the ground that the materials employed have already paid dues as imports." The application was refused "the Council thinking that the articles are only entitled to exemption when exported in the same state as they were imported." The second malter is in respect of widening of roads, and we are sure the community will be glad to see that the Council are unremitting in their action in thi important direction, whenever opportunity occurs. In the present instance, offers from Messrs. Turner & Ca. agents for A. McCulloch. Esq. and from. Messrs. J. P. Bisset & Ca., agents for A. Cushncy, Esq., to surrender portions of land, at assessed value, for the purpose of wideeing Canton road, were accepted.
