The annual meeting of tho Stan- dard Bank of Canada was held in 'l'oronlo last week, and on Wednes- day evening. the shareholders and managers repaired to the York Club, where a magnificent banquet was partaken of. about o'ne hundred and any of the managers of the various branches being present. .\s the dean of the service, Mr. John Kelly of this place may Well he said to have been the honored guest of the gathering. Mr. Kelly commenced his service with the old St. Lawrence Bank in 1875 and was with it when absorbed by the Stan- dard Bank that year. During the hanquet. it was quite natural that Mr. Kelly would be called upon to address the. meeting, which he did. and was greeted with a remarkable demonstration when he rose to his Fifty years in any business is a lung time. and in the course of his remarks. Mr. Kelly referred to his first entry into the service. at Newâ€" castle. and of his subsequent ser- \'ire up to 1926. In 1888 he was ap- pointed manager of the Durham lu-aurh. where he. has since re- mained. The speaker noted the many rhunzes that had taken place in the seryiee. and referred to the fart that during that time, the entire person- uel frnni management down. had un- dergone many changes until now he was the unly remaining member of the "Old Guard." "In aiilllitinn to being a valued member of the managerial staff of the Standard Bank, Mr. Kelly has been for many years a respected resident. of Durham. a man at all times vitally interested in the busi- ness life of the town, and his host of friends and business associates here trust that he has many more years of usefulness ahead of him.

COUNCIL WILL MOVE FOR NEW POST OFFICE Committee Appointed to Interview Sitting Dominion Member for Brec- tion of New Federal Building Hare There was nothing unusual to happvn at tho. March sitting of the Town (Louncil held 'l‘hursday even- ing, not wry much other than rou- tino businoss before tho town fath- ms. The Finance, Committee passed tho monthly hatch of accounts, this timo amounting to noon! S310, 311 of which were. ordered paid. One of the most impoitzmt things brought before the baud, that. is if the proper authorities can be aroused, was the question of Dur- ham‘s new post office. This was in- troduced by Reeve Bell. He referred to the fact that the estimate for; this building had been passed some time previous to the war by the Dominion Government, but the: the outbreak of hostilities had hath-d all public building and that up to the present, nothing haul been done. The result of the discussion that followed was the appointment of a committee consisting of Mayor Mur- tht'k. Reeve Bell and Celii'ieill:1)1' Mc- tllockliu, who will wait. upon Miss Macphail. the sitting member, in am yeutlemor to have something done. SUED FOR USING BAG PIPES A I‘oquost was i'eceiwd by the linunvil from Miss Jessiu Reid. ask- ing them in give hm' permission to conduct a teaching class in chno- graphy and iypvwriting. ’l‘his r0- quest was tabled, as the Unuucil felt. that, Hwy had no jurisdiction in tho" matter of privatigLeaching. Mayor Murdock was delegated to wait on the Glonolg Township Council at its next. meeting to try; and come to some agreement. with* that body over the upkoop of the roadway in front of the Thomas Young prooorty in [Inner Town on tho Durham Road. This property it will be remembered, was with- drawn from tho town two years ago, and no agreement satisfactory to both parties has as yet boon agreed to rogarding the upkeep of the road- way in front of it. The Durham Council feel that Glenelg Township should boar thoir share of the cost, but this they have so far not done, and the amiointmont of Mayor Mnr- dock was made in tho hopc that some satisfactory settlement could be arrived at. The tax collector has boon on his rounds for the. past couple of weoks but has had littlo success with the unpaid taxes. This is not as it should be. and it is likely that dras- itic steps will bo taken by the Coun- It‘ll for tho collection of the back ltaxos duo.
