WELLAND BUSINESS
[Welland Tribune, 19 March 1897]
CEMETERY- Mr. German has introduced a bill in the legislature to so amend the act respecting cemetery companies that a cemetery may be established in an incorporated town if the location is approved of by the lieutenant governor in council, municipal council, local board of health and provincial board of health. This will do away with the legal objection to Mr. McAlpine’s proposed cemetery, if passed.
THE Welland Electric Light company refuses to supply the court house and adjoining buildings with electric lights at any less figure than 10c per week each-the regular price charged for small users. The county takes thirty lights, which cost $156 per annum, besides renewals and some of them burn but a few hours each week. At the June session the committee will report on the advisability of introducing acetylene gas, or some other method-as per instructions of council.
