DOGS RUNNING A‘T LARGE ARE DISPOS8SED OF WILL SHORTLY i REMOVE ‘TO FOREST CITY The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Grant will regret to learn of their impending removal to the city of London where they will make their home in future.

C. Strathers and Co. of London, will shortly sever his connecâ€" tion with this firm, having accepted a very responsible position with the large drygoods firm of Greenshields, Limited, Montreal. The change will necessitate his removal to London, where he will make his headquarters. It is understood the family will move to London some time in June. â€" HIS PARTNER The affair as far as the alleged theft is concerned happened on King street west. Gong Hong Lang and Wong Wong Pang were in partnerâ€" ship in the laundry business and had a common sinking fund which acâ€" crued from the profits of their busiâ€" ness. Overnight while Gong Hang Lang slept and dreamed of his celesâ€" tial homeland in the far east his partner Wong Wong Pang hit the trail for the big city taking with him a portion of the sinking fund which it is alleged, did not belong to him. KITCHENER . WATER SUPPLY NOT SUFFICIENT That the fire department would . be practically helpless at a large _ fire through lack of water and that the strength of the Fire Department is far short of the usual requirement for a city of :his size are two of the nost salient features of the report on lock] fire protecciion submitted to the C:ty Council and the Board of Trade by J. Grove Smith of the Commission . of Conservation. © It will be remembered thai through the activity of the Board of Trada m connection withâ€"arousing public sentiâ€" ment regarding ~ Canada‘s fire losses the Commission of Conservation was prevailed upon to take up, the quesâ€" tion on a Dominiqn wide scale. .
