Harold Griffin was saved from death by drowning on Saturday when he was rescued by Mr. Clifford Car- ley after he had fallen into the water at the end of the dock. Harold and .\lrs.

At- cries v Mr. Carley hurried to the scene and saw the boy about three feet out from the dock and _e'rabbed the sink- ing` lad's hair and eflected a rescue.

In conclusion Mr. Millar urged that the Province of Ontario seek some way other than _e'overnment control to settle this question. It would be a great thing if this banner province would say to the wave of wet" that has swept the west--This far shalt thou go and no further. Rev. J. S. Shortt, who has re- cently come from .-\l-berta, spoke briefly on conditions in that province. After the prohibitory law in came into force there was a wonder- iful change in Alberta. smelling: liquor. appeared and some thought the zinc- tors and drup:gists were making a for- tune; there was dissatisfaction and a vote requested. Now, while they haven t got the stand-up-to-bar, _they have the sit-down-to-bar, and boot- legrgers are flourishing. There was no real issue, and had the prohibitory law been allowed to stand a little longer Alberta would never have gone wet. This is a critical stage for On- .tario, and if we retain the O. T.

CONTROL IN | I BRITISH COLUMBIA} More Bootleggers and Taxesl Higher; Government Can t Control The Opera House was well lled on Wednesday night when the tem- perance forces gathered to hear Rev. F. J. Millar, of Penticton, B. C., dis- cuss government control, as it exists in British Columbia. Until June, 1921, the laws with respect to` liquor were much the same as we have them in Ontario today. There were Violations of the law, and there was consider- able bootlegging. In some cases boys and girls were learning to drink liquor. Many were dissatised with conditions and the government was asked to give the people an oppor- tunity to vote on the question. The result was that there was a majority of over 35,000 for gxovernment con- trol. A liquor control board (':onsist- ing of three men was appointed. This board was given sole char,{2*e of buy- ing` liquor and opening up stores. All a person has to do is to get a per- mit, cos-ting` $2 and he can buy all the liquor he wants in sealed pack- ages, if he takes it away. The gov- ernment said it would be kept out of politics, but, said the speaker, it is impossible to do this. . What. has been the result under impossible to (10 this. What has been under government control`? In one month in Vancouver 140,000 gallons of liquor was imported. Of this the gov- ernment got one half. Bootle_a'.':e1's got one half and besides handled a considerable part of what the government imported. There is an excise duty of $21 a case on all liquor imported, but the 'ooot.le;`f.',l`e1's evade this tax and so are able to undersell the government stores. Moonshne is put in bottles with gov- ernment labels and sold for sxood liquor. Bootlegging` is rampant and conditions never were as bad. The only way to get rid of the bootlegyze:-vs s for the government stores tokeep open 2-! hours a day and make it just as easy as possible to get liquor. Whatever way you want to deal with the problem in Ontario, don t try :20`;- ernment control, advised Mr. Millar. # -- V . At the regular meeting of the town council on Monday night considerable of the time was taken up listening to a delegation representing the Board of the Royal Victoria Hospital and interested citizens, requesting; a grant of $10,000. Some of the alder- men,.apparently came in a ghting mood, but fireworks were pretty well staved off owing to the good nature of the chairman of re and police. Ald. Litster, under enquiry, wanetd to know why the resignation of Con- stable Davis was asked for. Aid. Walker wanted -to know who asked for the resignation. Deputy-Reeve Poucher said he had interviewed the chief and was told that the chairman of 1`e~and police had instructed him to ask for Davis resi-,:'nation. It was up to the chairman to make an ex- planation. He had not been con- sulted in the matter and he was on the conimittee. The charman, Ald. Bricker, said he was not shirking his duty. He requested the chief to ask for Davis resignation, but was re- quested to do so by some members of the committee. The resignation was not accepted and the matter was closed. r~,,,,: v_.,_LI., I:.._.l....:.... ;.\...1. ..1..,..-. \.. ........... --..._ -_, Taxes Have Increased It was contended by some that taxes would be lowered under gov- ernment control but the opposite is the result.

We can t drink ourselves rich. The number of busi- nes failures is increasing. In 1919 there were -'12 failures in B. C., last year there were 162. In DOCCP.1l)0l', 1921, Vancouver's liquor bill was $20,070. In December, 1923, it was $629,847. That does, not look like government control.

No one seemed to be very clear on this point. The mat- ter came up when the report of the committee on works and sewers recommended that Mr. Ord be en- gaged to measure the walks put down by the Warren Paving Co. Deputy- .Reeve Poucher introduced a motion that the name of Chas. Tymon be in- serted in place of Mr. Ord. Ald. Wallvin objected to ths, as there was - no engineer on the job and it re- quired a competent man to measure the work. The mayor explained that the engineer had taken charge of the sidewalks and had the measure- ments so the council was in duty bound to accept his g-'ures. Ald. Wallwin asked if there was any agree- ment with Proctor and Redfern for other than the paving` and gutters. Was there any agreement for side- walks? While there was no agree- ment there was an _11nderstandin,L', said his worship. The motion went \_to a division and carried 10 to four, Alhermen Huxtable, Wallwin, Hook and Bricker against. ` "' Want Pavement on Elizabeth Street West A petition was presented, sig'ne(l by H. J.

Beecroft, chairman of the Hospital Board, was the first speaker It was not, he said, a pleasant duty to appear before the council at a time when taxes were already high and large out-lays being made for local improvements. The hospital has been in existence for 25 years, and only once before` had the town council been approached for assstance. Five year ago the hospital was free of debt. Since then a nurses home had been purchased for $4,900, and about $2,000 has been paid. Some quarters had to be provided for the nurses, as the rooms they occupied in the hospital were required. In common with all hospitals in the province the board has been strug- gling along to make receipts meet ex- penditures, but have failed. They had delayed coming to the council in the hope that conditions would im- prove. The hospital is not a money- making` institution and it must expend what is collected on patients each year, according` to the Hospital Act. Just a the cost of administering the affairs of the town has increased in the last ve years, so has the cost of the hospital. Fuel bills that used to cost $1,700 now cost $4,200 a year; HIE uu. nu: ucuu. ` grocery bills that were about $1,500 are now $3,500. The board was pre- pared to meet any charges as to ex- According to the Blue Book, the average cost in the province per patient is $3.07 per day. In Bar- rie Hospital the cost is 32.06 per pa- tient. The board and the ladies in- terested were trying` in every way possible to save. They had tried to find some way to meet the situation. If the rates were raised it would be putting the` hospital in the rich man s class. They had considered disposing of the nurses home, but this would leave 25 girls to provide homes for and it would be a retrograde step. The matter of an appeal to the public was consdered, but felt that the public has no more right to subscribe to the hospital than to the home at Beeton, or for building` sidewalks in the town. The board came to the conclusion that the only way was to come to the council. When at the Hospital Board's convention last week Mr. Beecroft said that he learned that Mr. Bee- said that he learned that in most towns the'council.-1 were meeting any decits in connection with the hos- pitals_ 4tW'(, must have assistance from lance on hand of $5,082.73. pitals.` We must have assistance from some source or close our doors. This is no threat, we ask for municipal assistance to the extent of $10,000, said Mr. Beecroft. There is an over- draft of about $7,000 and a mort- gage of $3,000 on the nurses home. If _:'i\'en a clean sheet the board will endeavor to keep expenses within the receipts. 111`. H. )1.

There are accounts payable of $1,881.10, and accounts receivable of, say, $1,000, which leaves the to- tal decit at present $7,039.39. In- dig.-`ent patients treated 103 days stay 2,576, at cost per patient, $1922, $5,- 206.56.

This, however, has only been (lone here during the past year`. Mr. Donald Ross was speaker. He wished to raise two points. First, why, in 25 years this was the rst time that assistance was zxskerl of the council. There is a ten- the next `_. dency at present to have all hospitals run as yzovernmcnt institutions. "Times have changed and the hospital Mr. Ross cannot 5:0 on as it is. 7.quoted gures from the grovernment report showing the municipal grants `that were given to Various hospitals. {The avera<,=:e municipal grant per pa- ticnt for the hospitals of the province was $3.88, while the grant for Barrie 93c.

Arnold Must Pay for Car Purchased ' i From Dr. Ross on Tuesday. Judgment was given for Dr. F. Ross to the amount of $247.70 in his suit against Henry Arnold of Barrie. Dr. Ross was suing forvtwo notes of $150 each which Arnold had giv- en him in 1922 for a Ford touring car owned by Mrs. Tailleur. The latter, a client of Dr. Ross went to British Columbia in 1922 and left the car with him to dispose of as best he could for her. Arnold bought the car on Aug. 2, 1922, and give Dr. Ross two $150 notes, one due in 19 days, the other in SlX months. Dr. Ross had the car looked over at Buchanan s garage and upon his own evidence Mr. Arnold was well pleased. The notes, however, were not paid when due and Dr. Ross allowed mat- ters to slide till March, 1923, when, according` to him, Mr. Arnold, under pressure, agreed to pay $200 on the 15th and the rest when he could. The payment was not made, however, and on May 19, and again on Aug. 17, Dr. Ross wrote Mr. Arnold re- minding` him of his agreement. Get- ting` no satisfaction he went to Ar- nold s on May 1, 1924. They said then that times were hard and they had put at least $100 into it in re- pairs. As they were paying; $4 a month garage rent for it, Dr. Ross, upon his own evidence, suggestecl that they might leave it in his yard and he would send any likely purchas- er to Mr. Arnold if he heard of one. Mr. Arnold was also '0 try to make a sale if possible. Tn Anrrntf.
