Had anv otper taken the council mioht in_the position it now in, nine months hence. However, there must be something underlying the action of Mur. or he wauld not have sent the council such a curt letter. He may hyve been mis dinformed as regards cer; tain points; he would not have taken such action without reason, At the-least;he-showed: the -council-seant courtesy. The speaker asked that the matter be leit in the hands of thes committee on industries to carry on further correspondence. Ald. Craig statgd his mind the same channel that of Ald. King in regard to the mattér, There was more underlving the action of Mr. Giilies than appeared on the surface. He would favor the appointment of a deputation of the council to wait un- Mr. Gillies® to learn the particul- and suggested the names of Mav- Shaw and: Ald. King. The matter ould 'be probed to the bottom. De als of this kind are often interfer- ed with by outside parties. Mr. Gillies when here, "had spoken highly of King ston's facilities hs suitable for the pro- posed industry, and. his letter now showed that there must be some strong reason for him desiring to cut off negotiations. . Ald. Harkness informed council he had been told that Me.

Adopted on motion of Alds. Walkem and McLeod. Regarding the clause of the report dealing with James McCulla"s petition Ald. Behan statéd that he. did not think that the by-law could be interpreted; either the new fee ) must be collected, or the old one of but a refund of a portion of the $50 fee could be granted by council. The mayor replied thatwthe finance cdmmittee had acted upon the advice of the city solicitor in the matter Ald. Behan maintained that the Jog- al license fee for butchers for 1902 was 82. The increased fee could not be collected if contested in court. Ald. Graham supported Ald. Behan's contention, and pointed out that as some of the butchers had paid S50 and some 82, it would be impossible to compel the last mentioned to pay the additonal fee. lt. was an impostion oa tiie public to pass and attempt to en force such a by-law after the béginn- ing of the license year. 1i/the butchers lesivedd to do they could. refuse payment of the increased fee and no court would compel them to pay it. "If 1 was a meat dealer I would not pay more than §2 for this. vear's li- p sand 1 would take my chances in the court," said the Victoria Ward warrior, who said the council had not the power to enforce such a mea- sure affer the license year begun. All Walkem pointed that matter was one of which the butchers had the remedy in their own hands, but the, council was hound to be ouid ed by the advice of its le soal adviser. Ald. Behan took the ground thatdt was unfair to collect 82 from some of the butchers and $30 from others. In any event, it was unfair to enact a by-law and have it into force after the beginning of the license year. Ald. Graham contended that those yutchers who had paid their fee of 82 and received a license entitling them to sell meat for the ensuing ould not be compelled to an ad- litional sum. Ald.

White had been given to under stand that those butchers who had paid ¥2 had deposited that much on account, that they were responsible for the balance of the increased. fee.
