TOWN AND COUNTY
[Welland Tribune, 15 March 1895]
THE Mellanby properties are advertised for sale in this week’s TRIBUNE.
HIGH Court will be held on Tuesday, April 23d before Justice Armour.
THE weather prophet will make his “spring announcement” next week.
THE T.H.&B railway now have their rails laid from Brantford to Hamilton.
MESSR. C.J. Page and Thos. Mains are away looking at some machinery suitable for running the electric light plant by steam. They go to Hamilton, Galt, etc.
THE proposition by the council to stop farmers cutting meat for sale on the market is very unpopular, and we understand that petitions are or will be placed in circulation asking the council not to consummate the proposed legislation.
TWENTY-SIX prisoners in gaol, only one vag, showing up during the week. There are lots of tramps about the country and less than five stopping overnight in Humberstone lock-up, but there is no money in running them to Welland anymore.
THE HOME-The prisoners have been planting trees at the Home this week, making quite an improvement. The trees, which are very fine ones, were donated by Messrs. D. Ross, Geo. Sutherland and E. Shotwell. Number of inmates now in the home, 55.
THE City hotel has changed hands. Mr. John Coghlin having sold out to Mr. Louis Schwoob of Berlin, who will take charge on April 1st. Mr. Schwoob is an experienced hotel keeper and will undoubtedly keep the City right up to date. Mr. Coughlin does not know yet where he will next cater to the public.
THE band stand has been moved from the west to the east side near Cumines’ corner. This is a movement but not an improvement in the general interests in the town. The playing of a band is sure to attract a crowd to its immediate vicinity, and crowding is sure to clog the streets and sidewalks at the new location.
THE Telegraph talks as if it expected the town to keep the government bridge clean. Perhaps it will want us to keep it repaired also, keep the thistles cut on canal grounds, etc. There would be as much sense as in expecting us to do these things as the other.
