Me- Cartney, that a fee of $4 be charg- ef for night meetings and $2 for day meetings. Ald. McCartney stated that his committee had the matter under consideration and that in view of the fact that the chamber was used to such a large extent, it was felt that a fee should be charged, so that the city would derive some revenue to help pay for the heating, ete. Ald. Nash drew attention to the fact that when Ontario Hall was, used for charitable purposes, the fee was always refnnded. Would the same action be taken as regards the council chamber? Ald. Peters questioned whether it would be worth while charging a fees for -the use of the council chamber. It had always been the rule to refund the fee when the city buildings were used for chari- table purposes. Questioned by one of the alder- men, Ald. McCartney stated that the military authorities paid at the rate of $4 per day for the use of the =| chamber for the holding of examina- tions, MAKE YOUR WORK EASY Have the Hotpoint Electric Goods in your home.

Cullen's CASE AND CARRY Ald) Kent sald that the city should have some place where citizens' meetings could be held, He thought that very few meetings were held In the chamber outside of those under the auspices of chari- table institutions. Ald. Kent also stated that he did not think there should be any charge for organizations working in the interests of the city. Ald, Chown suggested that the property committee withdraw its re- commendation until the council se- cured more information regarding the use of the chamber. A list of the organizations using the cham- ber could be secured. Ald. Laturney favored charging the fee suggested with the excep-| tion of "philanthropic societies." "There shodld be some place for the taxpayers to hold meetings," "If the taxpayers want the chamber for the city's bu- s'ness they should have it fre of charge." Ald. Price felt that all outsiders should pay a lee for the use of the chamber, "Let the matter stand over until we get more information and get au idea as to how many meetings are held in the chamber," suggested +| Ald. Kent. "When we have this In- formation we will be in a better po- sition to vote on the matter." The council finally decided to al- low the matter to stand over for information.

Altogether some eighty people sat down to the sumptuous banquet provided, and of this large number there were very few outside. of the family circle.

It is certainly fine! That was the upanimous opinion among those who saw the first local presentation of George M. -Cohan's "So This Is London" at the Grand Opera House last night. and is one of the cleverest pieces of work seen in a long time. It {s' an explanation of England to America and of America to England and--in the bad points, as well as many of the good points, of both nationali- ties. We find the American with a dis- torted Adea of Sir Percy Beauchamp is family and find Sir Percy with an equal ridiculous conception of Hiram Draper and his family. These "mental" pictures are pro- duced during the play and cause up- roarious laughter. The stiff, self- satisfled Epglishman {8s no more true to type than the gum-chewing, loud-voiced and money-shrieking American, yet there is no doubt that they present the pre-war conception lantic. Of cdurse there 1s a very charm- ing Hite love tale woven imto the comedy, which serves as an axis about which the main plot revolves. One cannot single out any me er of the cast for special me.
