' The London Advertiser states that' Col.

Thus it is seen that the gal producer company is ready to beat this price hy $10 per horse pow- er. which to tthcCiary Company would mean a saving ot 31,500 per annum on 150 horse power. Steam power now costs somewhere between $50 and $75 per horse l" wot according to conditions, in London.

The commission adds, how ever, that producer gas plants have a bright tuture. and as the design and construction are perfected the capital cost will be reduced and the cost of power lessened. The commission estimates the cost ot gas power at $43.17 per annum per horsepower tor a 150 horse power plant, operating 34 hours a day', or $35.87 tor 10 hours [in day.

The work of the assessment com- mission inaugurated last April in Brantford is said to have proven satisfactory despite the fact that the department costs the city some tl,- 800 per annual, more than formerly. Assessments have been equalized bet- ter than ever before, and the value of assessed property was increased during the past year by $815,000. 'rheutomnsission discovered an exten- sive system ot padding, which has been abolished at the cost of show- ing a decrease in the population ot the. city. The court ot revision made few changes in the work ot the de- partment during the past year. The assessment commission is also charg- od with the important work of secur- ing new industries tor the city, V and has carried on a great deal ot cor- respondence along that line.

Petition but Grant " Increase to All the Male Teachers and the Caretakers. The regular meeting at the» Panic new Board 01 - was unusually important and could-y erahle business was transacted. The; chic! work was the disposition ot the numerous requests tor increases ot salary iron the teacher: and care takers. The Board dealt with the pe- tition ot the lady teachers who ask- rd that the Ichedule arranged last May he changed my "ing the annual increase at tso instead ol 825, and 'the maximum salary at 8600 instead ot $415. It was. the general opinion that in view ot the tact that the schedule nt the lady teacher: had been raised this year, and all of the teachers had bmsehtted therehy, it was sutticiettt for one year, and it was foa1ly decided to take no ae- tion. _ REQUEST FOR REVISION 0F SALARY SCHEDULE REFUSED When the schedule ot the lady tea- chers was re-arranged in May the male teachers were not included in the general increases granted. but their turn came last evening and all ot them received a. substantial re- cognition by the Board. The care- 1talkers also were remembered. Alto- }getvher the increases granted by the Board will amount to 8625. The Board unanimously authorized the taking up of a collection ln all the schools tor a memorial of the late Alexander Muir, the author of Canada's National Anthem, “The Maple Leaf Forever." An excellent report of the German work in the schools was received trom Inspector 11omuam In response ttrthe request of the Hoard the [allowing teachers tor- warded reasons why they did not at- tend all the sessions ot the recerit Teachers' Association: Mrs. Ada Eby, Miss s. Hammond, Miss E. Pienderleith, R. Reid and T. A. Schulz. Their reasons were accept- able to the Board. my'. E. Homnan, German Inspect- or of the Berlin Public Schools, sub- mitted the following report: - uentlemrtt,--Having been appointed by you Inspector of the German work carried on in the Public Schools oti our town, I beg to report to you, i that I have made my first tour ot in- " spection during the last week aloe-.1 tober and rtrst week ot this month," having visited every school and at-'P tended every class. With sincarc s:rt-.e isiaetion I can assure you that the ‘ impressions I have carried away were'. decidedly pleasing, convincing me that the sacrifices of time and ox-l pense connected, with the teaching ct, German are bearing good fruit. An indisputable proof lg the teaching ot German being appreciated by the ett- izens of Berlin is the tact that very) nearly 800 children avail themselves of this opportunity to acquire a cor- rect knowledge of the German lan- guage, among them a goodly numberl oi children ot Eftglish-speak"mg 'lar-i .ents. Beth ot the teachers are splen- didly fitted for their work and tell of zeal, to imbue their scholars with that love ot the language that makes study a pleasure. Miss Borrahold's ex- perience oi many years accounts (or her success. it was a real treat let me to attend her classes and witness the readiness of the children in read ing, writing and speaking German. I was especially pieased at tre iro- gress made by one class, the pupils _ oi which having started enly about . two months ago, were well able to i read fluently simple sentences, and to join in a plain conversation on some , given subject. The excellent disci- ' pline kept by Miss Ilornhoid shows I that she has the tall confidence at her ' classes. Mr. Schulz. the rccently appointed teacher, has gone to york? in earnest. I am particularly pleased to report." that his German grammar as well as.I pronunciation is faultless and what- ever I have seen and heard of hisl work, his method, his discipline and the progress of his classes is ample proof that his appointment has been no mistake. That he applies himself to the same method at teaching asl Miss Bornhotd is very commendable on account ct the frequent translers of children from one school district to another. Both dt the teachers were seriously handicapped in their work at the beginning at this term through the dittietttty ot securing the necessary text books, especially the second and third book, which diiti- culty, however. will be overcome in luture with the aid ot the German School Association. .

The ec-operation of ‘the scholars throughout the Domin- ion is being solicited: in recognition of the great "service Mr. Muir ren- dered by writing "The Maple Leaf Forever." The Board was unanimous in favor of the request, and Principal Sud- dahy was authorized to have a cot- lection taken up tor this purpose. The rotilinn of the lady teachers tor a change In the schedule was taken up. Trustee, Euler proposed raising the minimum to 8500, but the other mraWers did not think that this would be satisfactory. Dr. Hett was at the opinion that the Crovvrnment at its nvxt session would regulate traehers' salaries" in towns and cities in the same manner» as it has done in 'the rural districts. fre thctgsht the teachers should re- ceive more, but considcrcd that this year's "and had done sufrre:'ent tor them. .
