Though it was drawn up by Premier J. C. Coates it was not a cabinet measure and supporters of the Government were left free to vote as they personally wished. The Bill provided for the taking .0f a referendum on the licensing question every six years instead of every three years as at present, and it also provided that 55 percent of the total vote in the referendum would be necessary to carry the measure. Despite the fact that the bill had passed its second reading in the House by a vote of sixteen to ten, and by 68 votes to sevem when it came before the ' committee of the House, the 55 percent. majority pro- posal was defeated by 43 votes to 32, NORTH OSHAWA MAN COMMITS SUICIDE (Continued from page 1) further investigation disclosed that he had threatened to commit suicide on previous occasions, and even by the very method that he employed finally a web of evidence was woven and the resolution substituting for! 56 percent. vote a bare majority of 'hee, votes in the referendum being car- ried. which satisified. the authorities in charge of the case that suicide had n committed by the deceased.

R. Rogers, of To: ronto, mourn the loss of their sister. Mrs. Morphy's death followed an illness of some seven months. The end of her noble career as wife, mo- ther and benefactress came very peacefully with the members of the bereaved family who had been sum- moned about her. One of Mrs. Morphy's deep interests was the Children's Aid Society which she had served both/ as a director and as convenor and treasurer of tine Shelter Committee. She was also very active in the work of the Oshawa General Hospital, and had rendered effective service both as a member of the Hospital Board and as treasurer of the Ladies' Auxil- iary of that institution, Mrs, Morphy had also long been in- terested in the work of the Red Cross Society, being a member of the local branch's executive at the time of her death. During the late war, Mrs. Mor- phy was in the forefront of that or- ganization's great work into which the womanhood poured out the very es- sence of their souls in service for the men overseas.

CITY PAVING IS HELD UP BY RAIN (Continued from page 1) as they were in the trenches during the war, and the rain continues to pour down with sodden, relentless pertinancity, Not so in other districts, however. Complaints ranging from the pitiful, the humorous to the highly indig- nant are keeping city office wires busy; and the mayor and aldermen are going about with the look of hunted men, starting each time they hear a telephone ring. The present weather has thor- nughly upset the weather bureau at Toronto. A few days ago,, following a day of May-time splendor, the weatherman warned that a cold wave was on its way from the west and that within 24 hours the thermo- meter would drop 40 degrees by the Fahrenheit scale. But it didn't. The rain came, and with it éame a somewhat irascible statement that the cold wave had "slipped" by in the night to invade the New England States.
