Juu THE Hm :--Mr, legislator, introduced pointment of tire u To FARM Etbs..--'rhe organisation ofthe farm- ers of the House, which didgood work in watching ' legislationintheinterestsoftheagriculturalcom: ' munity, will continue during the present ses- ' sion, assuming the form of a. regular associa- . tion. A meeting was held yesterday morning, with Mr. Drury, the chairman of last year, . presiding. There Was a large attendance, and ' though the proceedings were brief and of the r character incident to the preliminaries of or. ganitsatiou, there was every indication that the new institution would be well supported. Mr. Drury was unanimously re-electeil chairman I and Mr. Awrey, secretary. A committee consisting of Messrs. Fell, Sprague, Gwen and n I Graham, with the chairman and secretary. was a appointed to draft a constitution. The next _ , meeting will be held at the call of the chair. : _ THE Bouts MUST Got-Mr. Balfour, whose ' measures generally till the historical long-felt want, will introduce a bill to repeal the clauses of the Municipal Act which enable municipal; ties to bonus manufactories. The system of i granting bonus has been very liberally l shunted by moneyless speculators and more i subsidy-hunters, and there are a good many 1 municipalities that would be money in pocket [ if the bonus system had never been born. l There is n good deal to be said in favor of the , View that "very industry should stand on its l , own bottom. Tm: N'BW Mmls'rm t--'rhe grows that Mr. Drury, of East S the new Minister of Agriculture. ford, has mule some material changes in " bill relating to tir" in hotels and other pubiio buildings. m proposes that all such buildings over two storeys in height shall have permanent outside stairways of iron, with hand . rails on either side and shall be able to sustain at one time . the Weight of at least six full-grown ereons. He also pro oses that the esoe to beEept in each room in" be but a singltstrand of rope three-quarters oi an inch in thickness. The doctor has had extensive correspondence on the subject and has Witnessed many tests, and he has convinced himself that few of the fancy escape ladders are of much practical use. He has information from New York State where a bill similar to that he is promoting is in operation, and he has telling statistics as to the necessity for legislation in the direction he desired to go, and he will, no doubt, be able to make out: strong case in support of hie measure. At least he deserves praise for an industrious effort to stay the slaughter by tires in public buildings. and it is quite likely he will secure the enactment of some practical measure of preventative legis- lstion.
