This St. John's, Nfid., Sept. 6.--The Newfoundland legislature was prp- rgued this afternoon after a session Ll. sting four months, the longest on record. Premier Monroe's following in the House outnumbered the com- bined Opposition by only one mem- ber throughout the session. Among important' measures pass- ed at this session was the agreement whereby the International Paper Company may assume control of the Corperbrook pulp and paper plant, which has been carried on since 1923 by the Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Company, and which has been developed to the extent of pearly $50,000,000. The agreement also provides for the etsablishment of pulp and paper mills with a daily output capacity of 200 tons. Aother measure provides for de- velopment of Buchan's Mine, a min- eral area mear Red Indian Lake, where the American Smelters Comp- any in conjunction with the Anglo- Development Compnay, have already started operations.

Norman Dean, Chief Statis- tician of the Board. Each day Mr. Dean posts a memorandum giving the total number of accidents re- ported to the Board on the previ- ous day, together with the amount of money awarded for the day and the number of death cases. Another part of the exhibit is devoted to re- hablilitation and a blind operator is seen at work. The accident pre- vention features of the booth are being handled chiefly by the In- dustrial Accident Prevention Asso- ciations with Mr. V. L. Mummery, Chief Inspector of the Associations, in charge. The Safety Exhibit in- eludes guarded grinding wheels, safety goggles, protective footwear and other forms of safeenarding. Demonstrations of resuscitation of persons apparently drowned or suf- fering from gas poisoning or elec- tric shock are being given by em- ployees of the Hydro Electric Sys- tem and demonstrations of first aid are given by teams of the Bell Telephone Company, Capadian Na- tional Railways and Capadian Pa- cifie Railway. The safety motion pictures shown by the Industrial Accident Preven- tion Associations have proven of un- usual interest, in fact Mr. Mummery states thas the safety pictures shown during the exhibit hold the crowd better than the scenic films used as "fillers." The motion picture shows are put on several times each day and the films in the main are those used by the Industrial Acci- dent Prevention Associations in plant and other safety meetings held throughout Ontario.

The property owners on Welling- trn street presented a petition to the Council submitting that the street was impassible last winter and asking that it be gravelled in order to prevent a recurrence af such a condition Chairman Kenny of the Streets Committee stared that the matter was already nnder consideration. A letter was read from Mr. Bailey, caretaker and concessionaire of the Town Park asking the use of the Park again next year under the same conditions. Councillor Mowat ex- pressed satisfaction with the man- ner in which the property has been cared for and on putting a motion it wag decided to leave the manage- ment in the same hands during next year. The report of the Standing Com- mittee on Finance was discussed and adopted. Councillor Mowat asked for a little financial assistance for the band. Another trombone player has been secured and an instrument was bought at a cost of twenty dol- lars. The council voted to pay for the trombone, which is to become the property of the Town and the band was also authorised to dispose of several worn-out instruments and to devote the proceeds toward new ones.
