Nash then moved that the NEW CHILDREN'S AD AGENT IS APPOINTED. Willlam Black, a Retired Cler-' gyman, Is to Succeed John * Pollle. At a meeting of the vly, held in :he general ¢'mmit'ea room at the ci'y buila- ings, at 4 (clock, on Tuesday atts noon the position of agent, of | Boclety filled for some time John Pollle, was declared vacant, and a new man was appointed to the position, in the person of Wil- liam Black, of 130 Victoria street, a retired Prespyterian minister, Fourteen applications were recelv- | ed for the position, but the cholce of Mr. Black was a unanimous one. The newly appointed agent is an honor graduate of Toronto Univer- sity, fn arts, and of Queen's Uni- versity in thfology, with several | years in medicine at Queen's Uni-| i versity and 'near six year's ex- | perience in military and D.S.C.R. hospitals. It {8 of Interest to note that when in Manitoba, where Mr. Black spent considerable time, he introduced and j carried through a measure in aia of defective children, with the re- i sult that eventually, the four west. 'ern provinces agreed to care for the mute, blind, mental defective ana | moral defectives in common. The president, Dr. E. C. D. Mec- Callum, presided at the meeting, and | there was a good attendance of ths members. At the opening of the | meeting, a number of accounts were paid, after which John Pollle, the re- tiring" agent, was asked .or a report for November. Mr. Pollie stated | that he had no notice of the meet- ns ; Chilaren the hy ing until Monday noon, and for this bo | raggon, he had not had time to pre- | pare port. The' all-important matter before | the meeting was then taken up, that | of the appointment of a new agent, and {t was announced tMat there | were fourteen applications for the | position. The applications were | read by the secretary. Prof. A. P. | Lothrop. As the communications were ue ing read, Dr. G. W. Bell raised the | question as to the vacancy in the position of agent, whereupon the president stated that Mr. Pollie understood that he was to retire. As regards the applications, Ad. F. J. O'Connor was desirous of hav- ing an age limit reached, and also desired to see the preference given to men who had served overseas, but some of the members did not think it would be just the proper thing to put on an age limit, as it would perhaps bar a good man, one who had experience, and who would be able to "'carry on" to the satis- faction of the society. At this stage of the proceedings, Oscar V. Bartels, city treasurer, ask- ed that the matter be cleared up as regards Mr. Pollie. 'Had Mr. Polli= resigned? Had his resignation been asked for? Did the society intend to appoint two agents? The speaker { sald that so far as he understood | the matter, Mr. Pollie had™got re- | signed, and was still acting Yat the | pleasure of the beard." In order to | go on with the bus: ness in a proper | manner, his resignation must be re- ce'ved. "Any discussion on this point?" motion asked the president, who pointed ou: that the appointment of an agen | was made from year to year, and | that Mr. Pollie automatically drop- | ped out of the position. In Novemn- | ber a year ago, Mr. Pollie had been | re-appointed. | Mr. Bartels explained that last No- | | vember Mig Kelso, Toronto, had been in the city, and that Mr. Pollie had been urged to send in the re- ports required of him from the gov- ernment. At this time, Mr. Pollic had consented to do so, with the re- sult that he was re-appointed . Mr. Bartels contended that M: | Pollle was still the agent until he | resigned or was asked to resign. | Ald. Nash and Ald. O'Connor ap-, | pointed a deputation to walt upon | Mr. Pollfe, in regard to the matte- | {and see if it was his intention to | drop out of the office. { While the deputation was absent, | Willlam Murray stated that he un- | derstood the city solicitor was to be | Interviewed regarding the appoint- | ment. He had been at all the meet- lings, and he had not heard of any | action being taken to discharge Mr. | Pollie. Mrs. Bruce Taylor stated that Mr. | Pollie had been asked to put in his | resignation, that he had promised to { do 80, but that the resignation was not forthcoming. | "Well then, Mr. Pollie must be i ray. "I dp not want to be a pariy { to anything that is foolish. If there |.are any charges against Mr. Pollio, ! Jet us have them. Perhaps Mr. Pol- | lle has good reasons for not carrying | out certain Instructions. I must say | that I never heard tell of any per- | son being discharged in this way, ! without being tried." Miss Mowat recalled the fact that Mr. Pollie had refused to send in | government reports as he had heen , requested. Even at today's meeting, | Mr. Pollie, she thought should have | | been In a position to present a re- i port, no matter how busy he was. About this time the deputation | consisting of Ald. Nash and Ald. O'Connor returned from their inter- view with Mr. Pollle, and Ald. Nash, who was appointed chairman, report- ed that the interview had fiot been + 'satisfactory one.
