WEDNESDAY, FPEB. 13TH, 1924. (ContiWued from Page One) tributing bills, samples, etc., and also maintaining _ hillboards, ete. He thought such a service wouldâ€"be of great benefit to local amerchants and ‘others as well as to ontside firms. He intended to join Provincial Association. The Town â€" Engineer said that before granting any licens it should be distinet!ly understood tha the billboards and the ground bheneat] must be kept clear of wasite and dirts paper. [Mr. MacDonald agreed tha: this should be done. A resolutior was passed to grant a license that would not create a monopoly and that would keep the business under thi resulation of the Town Engineer. A man present at Council meeting wanted to know who had to look after a poor workingman who was ill and in the hospital suffering apparently from tuberculosis. He said that the man in question was in a private hospital in a room so cold that the sick fellow had actually trozen his feet in bed. The Mayor, Dr. Melnnis, said that the man would have been sent to a saniâ€" tarium before this, but it hod first to be decided as to whether T:‘mmins or Tisdale was responsible "or the exâ€" penditure entailed. The Mavor said be had visited the patient and it waâ€" stretching the truth to say he had frozen his feet, The room migh: be cold, but ‘that was. benefical for a tubercular patient of this kind,, and the man had certainly not frozen any of his extremities. Another man complained to Counâ€" ¢il that a neighbor of his had been. fined for having wood on the sidewalk, while others obstructed the street with sleighs, cutters and so on. **Is it just the workingman that is to be fired, while the business man can get away with anything?"‘ he asked. The Maxyor said that there was no disâ€" against workingmen or aryone else. Chief Greer being askâ€" ed to explain the matter to the quesâ€" tioner, resented .« the idea that the police should be accused of any kind of favouritism. He quoted business men fined at the same time as the "*workingmen‘‘ referred to. He did not know of any business men or others Ppstructing the street in the way that was suggested, and he said that if there were any such he would promptly summons them anrd call the informant as a witness. He thought this man was ‘‘butting in‘‘ and would do much ‘better to mind his own bus:iâ€" ness, and Chief Greer told him so. The cman maintained that it was s hardship for a man to have to pay $10,.00 for wood left in front of his place a couple of hours while he was at work. The Chief had not the parâ€" ticulars of this case but thought the wood was obstructing the traftfice for more time than suggested, and provâ€" ing a menace to the fire department and others. He promised to look into the matter and also to investigate the ease mentioned of the blocking of Balsam street. * "*workingmen‘‘ re not know of any others obbpstructing way that was sugs A letter from Chairman Geo. W. Lee of the T. N.:O. Railway, exâ€" pressed ‘surprise that the Council no longer desired the proposed spur line along the waterfront. He had underâ€" stood that the Council and Board of Trade favoured this route. So far Canada â€" Unrited States Owner and Publisher. Subscription Rates: Telephones : $2.00 year $3.00 year as the Commission was concerned no further action would be taken until definite agreement had been reached as to the route of the proposed spur line. Mr. E. H. Hill, Division Court Clerk,. asked for a reduction in rent from $20 to $15, as he had moved into a smaller and less desirable office in the municipal building. Some of the Councillors laughingly suggested that the rent was tooâ€"clow at $20.00 and that it should be increased. rather than lowered. No action was taken in the matter. Forn Arnter. - On resoluti in the paid firemen were ranted aa increase to bring their pay to the same as the members of the police foree, â€" Councilior Charlebois dissenting. The pay of the V olunteer Firemen was raised from $£1200 to $1500 a year. The Chief of Police and the Fire Chief were each granted ‘nereases to $175.00 per month. The ‘lerk and Treasurer‘s salary was set t $225.00 per month. Councillor Drew called attention to he need for further lights in certain f the newer sections of the town. The Fire and Light Committee and ‘he Town Engineer were authorized ‘o go over the ground, see the needs, and report back to Council. ‘The Town Engineer, Mr. Murdock, reminded ‘Council that he had suwhâ€" mitted a report to Councilâ€" several weeks ago, the report containing a of recommendations that he thought should be dealt with one way r another. Council agreed to ecall a special meeting to consider and di cuss the report and deal with the recommendations. After the passing of accounts and ther routine business, Council adâ€" ‘ourncd the session being resumed s i Court of Revision. The appeal of the Fesserton Company was the onlyp anse dealt with.‘ Mr.. (G@ordon IE appeared for the Fesserton Co. ‘Mr. Gauthier pointed out that the land in question was assessed at $11,150.00, while it had actually been ourchased in the open market for $6250.00. The assessor pointed out that the land was surveyed into a townsite, and he had assessed the lots: at a very low figureâ€"around $60.00 sach on an average. Some of the lots in the block were owned ‘by private citizens and they paid taxes without 1 single appeal against the assess, ment. Mr. Gauthier replied â€" that while the assessment might have al} right when made, it was not fair now. â€" The original ownersâ€"the Goldâ€" rle Co. had intended to sell the land in town lots. The Fessertons intended to use it for a mill site and lumber yard, ete. The surveying into ‘own lots did not in any way increase the land‘s value. Mr. Gauthier quotâ€" ed from the Muricipal World to upâ€" hold his argument. After considerâ€" ation and discussion the Court of Reâ€" vision by resolution confirmed the asâ€" sessment, with the understanding that for 1924 the assessment should be on an acreage basis. Several rebates of income taxes were authorized for the usual reasons allowed in such cases.

The paper for the evening was by G. A. Macdonald, the subject beâ€" ing ‘*‘The Seot in Canada.‘‘ The paâ€" per was an attempt to show from hisâ€" torical records the important place taken by the Scot in every department of activity in the development of Canada. (The part of Sceots in the early settlement,â€"as early as 1621.â€" through the days of the Hudson Bay Company, the Northwest Company (a company organized and controlled by Sceotchmen) and on to Confederation and after was touched upon, with brief mention made of eutstanding Scots taking a leading part i@ Canâ€" ada‘s kistory. In concluding .~the speaker said the purpose of the paper was by no means to give food for empty boasting about Scotland or the Seots, but rather, by the quoting of great examples, to give inspiration and encouragement and enthusiasm for better living and better citizenâ€" ship. The next meeting of the Caledonâ€" ian Socicty will be held in the 1.0.0. F. Hall on Friday evening of next week, Feb. 22nd. It â€"will} bg.the President‘s Night. < The programme is to ‘be furnished by the President and Past Presidents of the Society and will include songs, readings, novelties, ete. Of course there will be dancing, refroshments, and the usual pleasant social time. ' MUTUAL LIFE OCCUPIES f ENVIABLE POSITION RHEUMATISM SCIATICA NEURITIS LUMBAGO During the past year or so there has been in some quarters in Canada a tendency to pessimism. Facts are the best offsets for this feeling,â€"ésâ€" pecially such facts as are disclosed in the pleasing annual reports issued by some of the specially progressive and prosperous concerns that give an inâ€" dex of the real conditions in the counâ€" try at latge. The annual report of the Mutual Life of Canada, for #xâ€" ample, gives pleasing refutation of the pessimistre idea. It is reassurâ€" ing to note the comparative strength of the Canadian Life insurance comâ€" panies, among whom the Mutual ocâ€" cupies so conspicuous a position. The fiftyâ€"fourth Annua,l Statemeat af the Mutual Life of"Canada, pubâ€" lished in this issue, is an interesting resume of the past year‘s ‘business. The operations of the Company are disclosed in figures that should cause the directors, management, field force and policyholders the deepest satisâ€" faction. The new business written amounted to $39,M0578. Allowing for terminations and revivals, the net increase to the business in force amounted to $23,495,912, the total asâ€" surances in foree standing now at £26590,982,566. â€"~The mortality experienced was less than 40% of the expected deaths acâ€" cording to the standard â€" tables, so that there will result a substantial profit to the policyholders from this source. The rate of interest was satisfacâ€" tory, although there is a general deâ€" cline from the high rates obtaining in recent years, but the rate actually realized of 6.55% will ensure more than satisfactory results to the memâ€" bers of the Mutual Life. The net results of all the various Temrktm\nkbmmtk ('prks TEMPLETONS TORONTO (Continued from Page One) ed out, was due to the discovery of minerals further on. Translated to the Poreupine Camp, he showed how the development of the mineral wealth of this country would hasten and assure the development of the country, other industries growing up around the central mining. industry. Mr. Brigham emphasized the importâ€" ance of the fire department to a new country like this. Mr. A. 8. Fuller, Managing Director of the Paymaster, in his response also proved an optiâ€" mist. Rince he came to the North this country had produced $350,000,â€" 000 in minerals, and he looked for a wonderful future. Mr. Alex. Gillies, in a brief humorous address, added his word of faith and optimism. Mr. transactions are summed up in the surplus which amounted to #$3,012,â€" Alec Dewar thought agriculture the most important industry, and emâ€" phasized the special importance of the pulp ind paper industries.
