. “It’s none of our business—it’s a family quarrel.” said Cr. C. J. W. Barton, the veteran member of the Hamilton Borough Council, on Wednesday, referring to the conference with Mr. Sterling concerning the proposed change of name of Frankton Junction, at which the council was represented. The Mayor, Mr. J. R. Fow, objected to the term “family quarrel,” and claimed that, as the bulk of . the Frankton ratepayers desired a change, it was the duty of the council to support them.
