Relief Oicer Jas. McGregor is tor` be commended on the way he has hlandled the relief problem in Barrie '. this year, and few towns in the pro- vince have a better record. The re- lief ofcer has been most successful in nding work for th unemployed, which, after a`l, is what most of them want. If citizens would cp- operate with the relief officer to the \ full, we believe there would be few able-bodied men on re`-jef. This isl _.\the only way thta-1: municipalities are r \ever going to get away from heavy '?e1ief expendirt-ures.
