the june session of council which opened mouay this question has been be fore the members for the past two years april 1925 saw the force reduced to six county constablesandj siderable overlapping and at times each municipality given power to organize one of its own since that time several townships especially those in the south of the county have formed their own forces and now some of the representatives from the south are not satisfied and want all constables put back as county constables under high con stable r w phillips the question ofc putting all con stables under one chief from what can be learned will meet with con siderable opposition all southern re presentatives with the exception of those from york township it is un derstood will favor it york town ship which has the largest force of any municipality with a chief and 21 men and york representatives are satisfied to remain as they are it is thought that if york is de termined to remain as they are the majority of council members will not urge that tliey go back under the old system even if the other municipalities do although it will be suggested that york constables be made county constables and al though being under their present chief will work in cooperation with the county force it is understood that members from york will be agreeable to this at present with so many police forces in the county there is con- county men are sent out to do some thing that has already been done by the local police a report on the police question will be submitted in accordance with the resolution passed in january on policing the county as a whole the question of building a bridge over bathurst st at cedarvalewill be brought forward by members of forest hill and york township council and it is thought will cause considerable discussion another matter to be debated will be that of appointing another school inspector for the county at present there are four inspectors nd some members feel that they

lioness through her stunts before an audi ence was struck down by the brute and badly mauled before she could be driven off so long as there is morbid desire on the part of the public to see dangerous performan ces of this kind so long will there be foolhardy men and women to give them perhaps however if the public knew of the terrible and ex cruciating torture that these beasts of the jungle have to go through to render them submissive for stage and ring performances that they would not so readily extend patron age towards such exhibitions the late jack london who had visited almost every menagerie and animal training school in the world says that these beasts ferocious by na ture are beaten whipped prodded and even iburued in the most merci less manner to make them amend able to
