There is no necessity of a change, anyway. It must be said, however, that under the command of Lieut.-Col. Rathbun, the 5th Field Battery has improved immensely. It has not been so competent since the late Lieut.-Col. Drennan was in charge. ; No. 2 Field Battery, Army Medical Corps, is to meet at the armouries on Monday evening for re-organization. Since its establishment six years ago, this company has done good work in camp, Lieut.-Col. Abbott is still com- manding officer, and Capt. Williamson is adjutant. Capt.

Members of the local Licensed Vie- tuallers' Association met, yesterday afternoon, to discuss the question of raising the price of drinks, in view of the increased license fee, from $330 to 8500. Definite action was not taken, but it was decided that there should be 'a raise on certain liquors. The rite of beer will remain the same. t 1s proposed to sell Canadian whis- key at the same price, ten cents, but to increase the price of imported whis- keys and wines from ten to fifteen cents, or two drinks for a quarter. All mixed drinks will be fifteen and twenty vents. Another meeting of the association will be held to take final action. The hotels, where farmers all along got free vard space for their horses, will hereafter charge for the same, ho ---------- A Morning Drink.

Elliott Opposed Action at Present--The Light Committee Decides to Buy 1,000 Tons of Coal. : The light committee, at its meting yesterday aftemmoon, decided to gubr mit to the city gouncil, on Monday night, for its approval, a bylaw to authorize the raising by debentures of $85,000 for extensions to the light plat. Those present were: Alds. ove (chairman), Kent, Hoag, Giv- ens, Gaskin and Elliott, 'und Mayor Mowat. ' Ald. Toye stated that unless the by- law was put to the people at once, nothing could be done this year, in the way of extensions, becanse it would take several months to get the ma- terial required. As it was, the by law, had been delayed far too long. Ald. Kent gaid that the by-law should be submitted to the city coun- cil on Monday evening. The people should be given a, chance to vote on the question: Further delay was whol- ly unnecessary. The committee was fully informed wpon the extensions, the need of them and the profitable re- sulis that would follow. Ald. Elliott claimed that this bit of information had not yet been secured : After spending $85,000 on the plant, what was to be the benefit derived ? What would be the lowering 'of cost in production ? That was a very im- portant point, he elaimed. Ald. Givens pointed ont that what the people wanted was light, heat and power. They were not looking for reduction in rates at present. The expenditure of $85,000 was chiefly to extend the plant. so that many cit- izens who had not electricity or gas could get the same put into their houses. He didn't think the commit- teen meed bothér at present about the cost of 'produetion, though he was satisfied that the improvements con- templated would reduce it. Mayor Mowat said that the whole question of lessening the cost of pro- duction was wrapped up in the extent of the extensions. He hoped there would be no further hesitation in sub- mitting the by-law. It was very im- portant that the people should be giv- en 4 chance to say whether or not the extension scheme was a good one or not. He was prepared to trust the people on that matter. The report of the expert was most satisfactory. Ald. Kent moved that a by-law for the raising of $85,000, to extend the light plant, be recommended the city counc | at its meeting on Monday evening, for submission to the people. to Ald. Elliott said that it was very advisable that the committee be unanimous upon the submission of the by-law, and he couldn't vote for it until he got more information. He was in favor of extending the gas plant, but not the electric. He didn't think there was any nece ; of spend- ing $35,000 on the [electric plant. ' Ald. Toye claimed that there was great necessity of extending the elec tric plant. Mavor Mowat held like- wise, stating that there was a large demand for electricity as well as gas. Ald. Toye asked what was to be done with the electric light plant. The outside expert had advised that fits present machinery be cleaned: ont. The motion of Ald. Kent was ear- ried, Ald. Eliott alone voting nay The Coal Question. The chairman said he had been look- ing into the question of ceal supply. | Two small lots had recently been picked up cheap. Now there was en: ough to do for six weeks. He pro- posed that 500 tons be purchased, =o as to have enough to do till August, when the strike would likely be tled. He and Mr. Campbell had sole} to the conclusion that 500 tons should be got immediately. In August, the usual vearly tender could be put! through. The works required 3,000 tons a year. He had asked local deal- | ers for tenders for hard screenings, and the following were received : R. Crawford & Co.--400 tons, £2.60 a ton. Rathbun company.--500 to 600 tons, , at $2.59. set- at James Sowards.--400 tons, at $2.68. James Swift & Co.--300 tons, at $2.75. Last year the committee paid $2.33 a ton, so that the lowest tender was twenty-six cents higher and the next lowest tender twenty-seven cents higher. t Ald. Elliott pointed out that to buy 1,000 tons meant an advance of $264 over last vear. He had been looking into the coal situation, and the ad- | vance quoted outside was only fifteen cents. Twenty-six cents, he thought ' rather large. He was opposed to buy ing 1,000 tons now, being prepared to risk a settlement of the strike, and the likelihood of lower prices. The Sun rising in its - «course, smiles always on the Stetson It is the hat of the world. It is wom by and satisfies 'then of all climes and nations. We have the Stetson. Soft and Derby Hats in all the latest styles. s 'Ald. Kent said that the committee would not in any case have ght conl at $2.33 as it did last year. That figure was very low, on account of a lively competition. He moved that the tenders of the Rathbun company and R. Crawford & Co., for 600 and 100 tons respectively, be accepted. 'Ald. Elliott moved in amendment, that only the tender of the Rathbun company be accepted. 'He thought it unwise to pile in 1,000 tons now, as the strize may be settled in a short time. pe Ald. Gaskia favored the purchase of 1,000 tons now, because if the strike went on, freight rates would increase, so that, in any event, coal would just be as dear as now, and perhaps dear- or, no matter whether the strike settled in a month or (wo. Nas He thought the committee would be tak- | ing the wisest course by purchasing LOO) tons. The motion of Ald. Kent, to par- chase 1,000 tons, was carried, Ald. Elliott voting against it. "You are just losing $150," was the comment of Ald. Elliott. "We'll see about that next August," replied the chairman. SUNDAY CHURCH SERVICES. Will Be Deing In The Church To-Morrow. St..
