Reference-was made to the gallant, part played by the Can- adian soldiers. On their return home these brave men should receive a cordial welcome and an earnest effort should be made to help them back into the paths of peaceful industry. These men have done great things for us and it is proper that we should assist the government in the plans to benefit them.

In connection with the building account there was an item of $2 that Mad to be met out of current recerpts, as the Carnegie grant of 315,000 was not suff- icient to complete the work. so considerable re- quired for laying walks and fix- ing up the grounds. Altogether there is about $800 of this ex- traordinary expenditure to be provided for and it is probable that an extra grant will be asked from the Town Council to meet'it. The indebtedness cannot be met by reducing the purchase of books, even if this were desired, as such a reduction would mean a marked diminution in the Government grant. ---------------------- Arthur, Stewart, Wilson, Sheehan jMinutes, the tally honor finally 7 OS.
