The most serious crime during the y of he ing, The culprits are no ing a short term wilh the hope of reformation. During the year 279 communications were receiv- ed and answers written and 113 communications sent from the office. A great deal of this corfespondence was in reference to Food Control and M. 8. A. 'There were 56 L. D. phone calls attended to and 33 sent out and 29 telegrams received. Ten ap- plications were made for permits to purchase air gums and revol- vers, of which three were grant- ed. Four lost children were re. turned to their parents. During the year weight of bread has been tested 14 times, coal tested 35 limes and 58 loads of wood measured. Convictions by constables and fines collected were as follows: Con. Hagart, 30, 379; Chief King, 21, $531; Con. Lambie, 3, $5.00; Con. Raynor, 1. Total, 8615. There were $165 from other prosecutions, making a total of $780 fines and costs during the year. Town Wood Supply A query from Ald. Payne as to why the Town wood was not coming forward brought out the only discussion of the session. Fuel Controller Smith explained that it was due to lack of snow al the shipping point and to the influenza epidemic which had completely disorganized the con- {ractor's camps. Last week the contractor said he expected to be able to go right ahead and ship sincere sympathy of the couneil in their great bereavement Continued Growth of Assets Continued growth of assets is a feature of the annual report of the Union Bank of Canada for the year ending November 30, 1918, which has just been made public. It is evident, however, that this growth would have been yet larger but for the occurrence of the Victory Loan payments just before the making up of the balance-sheet, which have caus- ed in all the Canadian Banks a considerable shrinkage of sav- ings deposits. In the case of the Union the savings Qeposits are actually five million dollars less 4han in 1917, but this loss is more than made up by oth classes of business, so that t total assets at the lose of 1918 quarter are nine and -- thre million dollars more than a year ago. » Those assets now total $15 181,451, and are responsible for the very large earning power f the Bank. Current loans in Canada, which a the measure of the Bank's to the business community and the chef souree of its profits, are now 74 millions of 'dollars, an increase of over 15 millions in the year and of 2 millions in two years. In spite of this expansion in loans, the liquid assets still amount to the respectable total of $73,368,327, and represent more than 51 p.c. of the public liabilities. . With current loans thus in- creased, it is not surprising to find that profits were much larger than last year's. _They amount to 8824,175 as compared with $763,464 in 1917 and 86514,- {84 in 1916, "But in both of the last-named years the profits were subject to a deduction of 8150,000 appropriated for meet- ing con{ingencies or depreciation of assets, whereas no such appro- priation is necessary this year, and the directors were therefore able to make the first addition to Rest Account since the war began. [his addition of $200,000 with our own efforts to supply an adequate wood supply, will ensure a proper supply of fuel at reasonable prices. During the war period little has been done to maintain our nain streets in proper repair, and il may now be necessary meeting the labor -- situation which is almost sure to confront us. Our other town, in common with towns, throughout -- the has been visited by a vide epidemie -- Spanish Influenza. We have been most fortunate in having a small number of deaths as compared with other towns of our country.

Past experience has shown that the reduction in savings de- posits of the Union Bank like the! loan flotation is purely tempor - ary. It is, therefore, reasonable to assume that the savings de- posits of the Union Bank, like the other items of its business will again assume an dency in a few months. themselves up to the task of car- ithe those who gave so much and earnest stands for in the hour of need.|so Se RE ever fully appreciated. the it is earnestly hoped that the ganizations throughout the coun-icommittee on Finance and ty would be unpardonable.

But I have this satisfac- tion: that the new Collegiate is where | worked to have it--and there it will remain, an ornament to the town, and as years go by it will be more and more appreciat- ed by all citizens, irrespective of wards. . T cannot close without paying tribute to the members of the Building Committee for their loyal support, some of whom strongly opposed me when the present site was first moved, but who, after the people spuke with their ballots, helped heart and soul in the work, These trustees were, Love, Fisher and Sinclair; and on them--and them alone (with myself)--have devolved the whole and sole work of the pre- sent building up to date. During the past year there have heen many changes in the teaching staff, owing to ill- ness and resignation, all of which have been dealt with efficiently; and as chairman of management, Trustee Love has had no easy task--for it entailed much work and sacrifice of time on his part. A patent has been obtained from the Government for the old Collegiate grounds and will be held in trust for all time, for school purposes only, and conse- quently cannot be sold or other- wise disposed of. In conclusion, I speak for my something for town.

Place orders without delay as wood delivered direct from the cars will cost 50 cents per. cord they are equal to the conditions improvements pointed out above will be accomplished. x War Savings Stamps pay well. less than wood that has to be unloaded before delivery. As wood is being handled at cost it is necessary that it be paid for before delivery. 3-4 A, W. SMITH, Treasurer
