WILDWOOD COUNCIL
In SEVERAL SESSIONS
Hold Special Meeting TO do More
Macadam Street Work. Reg
ular Meeting Held and
Grading and Gravel
ing Bids Opened
PROSECUTOR OF PLEAS LLOYD PRESENT


A special meeting of the Wildwood
Borough Council was held at the office
of John Bright on Thursday evening,
October /, 1908. Mayor Baker called
the meeting for the purpose of passing
a resolution authorizing the macada-
MIXING of Wildwood avenue, from
Philadelphia avenue to Park avenue.
Mayor Baker presided at the meeting
and there were present Councilmen
Bright, Goslin, Saul and Slaughter.
Clerk Hendee, Solicitor Baker and
Engineer Rice were also present.
Borough Engineer Rice reported that
there was enough money left from the
bond issue to macadamiZe Wild wood
avenue from Philadelphia avenue to
Park avenue, including cement curb
and cutters and recommended that
same be done.
The resolution referred to above was
adopted by motion of Bright and Cos
lin and reads as follows:
whereas, pursuant to ordinances
Numbers 100 and ITO and resolutions
passed in pursuance thereof certain
sums Of money to be raised through
bond issues were provided for the pur-
pose of matchmaking and otherwise
improving certain streets and parts of
streets in the Borough. And Whereas,
1t appears by report of the Borough
Engineer that the money SO provided
g in excess of the amount needed to
improve the streets and parts of streets
80 contemplated, al well as the streets
provided for in resolution Of Council
passed August IS, 1908, and Whereas
1t seems desirable that Wildwood ave-
nue. from Philadelphia aveuue to Park
avenue be macadamized with four inch
macadam and that cement cutters be
laid on either side of said portion of
said street in conformity with the
terms of the contract awarded. Be it
resolved and enacted that said street of
macadam and cutters of cement be
laid on Wildwood avenue from Phil
adelphia avenues Park avenue by the
present contractor under the direction
of the Street committee of Council and
the Engineer; provided, that said COM
mittee first make sure that said work
will not exceed the amount of work
contemplated in the contract with the
present contractor; and provided, fur
ther, that said committee find that the
money provided by the bond issue
aforesaid will be sufficient to include
-the-cost Of tins contemplated work."
BY motion of Slaughter, seconded by
Bright, the Solicitor was instructed to
prepare a supplementary agreement
with Stanley and Company, the con-
tractors, to cover the above work.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Wildwood Borough Council was held
on Tuesday evening, with Mayor
Baker and Councilmen Goslin, Kali
bach, Saul and Slaughter present.
Clerk Hendee read a lengthy set of
minutes, and Solicitor Baker and En-
gineer Rice were present. The report
of Collector Dubois read as follows:

tor of st. Margarets CHURCH, made a
special appeal to the city authorities
to organize some method of relief in
addition to those afforded by the
House of Industry and the other reg
uiar institutions maintained by the
municipality A large proportion of
these unemployed within the city linn
its were also newcomers from Eng
land or Scotland, and there was much
doubt whether with times as they are
there would be work for all the unem-
ployed of Toronto and Shacktown
when spring opens and something
like normal conditions are restored
Other Ontario cities have been
maintaining numbers of unemployed
this winter. Chatham has had a bur-
den of this kind. About 100 families,
including 800 children, arrived there
from England between August and
the end of the immigration season of
1907 OF the men of these families,
seventy-five have been out of work all
winter. The condition of these peo-
pie was brought to the attention of
the Government at the end of Janu-
airy by petition to the Department
of the Interior from the City Council,
the Board of Trade and the Associated
Charities of Chatham, in which it was
stated that unpaid rents were accu-
mulating; landlords were growing
impatient; that $1,000 had been paid
out in aid by the city, and that un-
less there were some immediate aid
from the Dominion Government most
of the newcomers would be homeless
and starving
Surplus of Labor.
There is thus a surplus of labor in
Ontario cities besides the large sur
plus in Toronto and Shacktown. The
Globe, which showed great energy
and resourcefulness in coping with
the situation in Shacktown, pointed
out that in 1907 Canada received
277,000 Immigrants, and that this un-
precedentedly large influx followed
an incoming of 2t5,0O0 immigrants
in 1906.
Mr.. Porritt states that when the
Shipping Federation of Montreal met
recently to settle the basis of long
shoremen's pay for the coming navi-
cation season, it was decided to re-
duce wages both at Montreal and
Quebec. These reductions were
made because it was the conviction of
the Shipping Federation that there is
to be less business at the two ports
than there was in the navigation sea-
son of 1907. In the lumber camps
this season also wages are fifteen or
twenty per cent. less than they were
in the season of 1867 Early in
November last, when recruiting be-
gan, the old rates were offered. Just
as soon, however, as it was realized
that men were more eager to go into
the camps than in 1867, wages were
reduced, and moreover, the seasons
cut will be smaller than that of any
season for three or four years back.
The Trade Union Congress of Can
ada early in the winter sent repre-
sentative to England to make labor
conditions in the Dominion under
stood there, and to endeayor to stay
some of the immigration from that
country and Scotland. His mission,
however apparently had little sue
cess, for the expectation at Halifax is
that the season of 1908 will make
new record for the port.
