They should be questioned there af to their intentions om ar- rival in Canada, whether they pro- pose to farm or locate In the urhan eenires. Dut more particularly they should be given a critical phy- sical examination, so as to prevent feeble-minded persoms, or persons suffering from diseases coming to this country. That this examination kas not been always what it ought in the past has been stated by var- ious authorities. Making the examination at the Canadian port of entry may reduce the expense by making mecessary a smaller medical staff, but this is off- set by the expense someone has to pay of returning the immigrant who is barred to his former home. Can- adian inspectors amd doctors should be at the principal ports from which immigrants embark on their jour-| ney to Canada.

Nott was voted an honorarium of $120, each club to donate $15 from the gate receipts received at the games on May 24th. and July 1st. An important amendment te art- | icle 3 was passed. This called for the | executive to be composed of the pres- ' ident and one representative from | pach club who would have the power to vote while ,past presidents, vice- | presidents and the secretary-treas- ruer would be ex-officio members but | without voting power. The principle reason for this was 19 prevent any one club having more than ome vote. For instance last year ,Oshaws had one club having more than ome vote and two members as officers of the league giving the local club three | votes Many Amendments . S0 numerous were the amend- | ments presented by the various | clubs that a greater part of the sess- 'jon was devoted to discusing the | suggested changes, As a result of { many of them being with mi- { nor changes, Secretary Nott will be {forced to write out am almost new |ccnstitution.
