The price of houses today had dropped 25 per cent. The Commission sold them for $100 down and as low as $18 a month payments, but the purchas- ers, securing them at a certain price fixed by the Commission, could not benefit from the drop in the price of houses generally, Commission houses - costing $3,200 could be built for $600 or $700 less today than the people were paying for them, Coun, Preston. held that the Commission was driving the legiti- mate builder out of town, as he did 'not care to compete with the terms {of $100 down and 5 per cent, money, At that he ventured to say that the legitimate builder would build a | better class of house than the Com- { mission, Reeve Morris said the Commission {today did not care whether or not tit built any further houses, in fact, { he thought that they would like tc {rid themselves of the trouble. But he felt that they had rendered a service to the town. Reeve Morris explained that the reason he wanted {the matter disposed of at once was | that the Commission must right | away take up the money available at five per cent. in the hands of the) Government, and that no harm could | come from allowing the Commission | to build ten more houses. Deputy-Reeve Hill, who last year | favored the notice asking the Com- | | mission to quit, said that he did so because of the industrial depression. Today, when things were mach | brighter, he had changed his mind {and therefore did not think that 10 ! houses wore too many. {© Coun. Trick said that while h- was personally opposed to the Com- | mission building any more houses, ki believed that those already built | had been a benefit to the working | man, enabling him to secure a home | for a small thought it would be build ten more this all right to year. | Coun. Moffatt pointed out that the | ! new houses had increased the tow: | assessment by $188,000, and that he ten mew houses now authorized | would increase it further.

KAISER ADDRESSES | SIMCOE SCHOOL CLUB A large number of Simcoe Street Home and School Club members, the largest in months, came out on Monday afternoon to hear Dr. Kals- er. Dr. Kaiser was asked to give something of an intellectual nature and chose as his talk for the after- noon some stories from the works of Frances Partman. The speaker said that every hoy and girl should become familiar with the works of this man, President of Harvard Un- iversity, U. 8., but intensely inter- ested in Canada's settlement and her early associations with the Indians. Many spots have historical value through his writings of these earlier happenings. Then Dr. Kaiser went on to tell a few of the stories as told by Fran- ces Partman and in the telling and in the interest exhibited by the chil- dren proved himself a _story-teller, He carried his audience through tales of the heautiful athletics, Mol- ly Brant, so adept a horsewoman that she could jump on a horse gal- loping around a ring, on to tales of the man who later became her huss band, the man who pursuaded the side with the British, Sir Wm. Johnston, In- Sir Wm. Johnston's strategy in winning land from the Mohawk chiefs, as well as lining them up with the British forces. Dr. Kaiser told of his trip this summer down through those val- ley, and illustrated these with pie- tures bought on the spot. The speaker brought tears to the eyes of his audience as he told of the privations and hardships of those early Jesuit priests, murdered and tortured at the hands of the In- dians. It was an intensely esting talk, and an interest in the works of Frances Partman was no doubt inenlcated Mrs. IL. Corrin gave a very report of the meeting of the tral Home January the 30th Rev. Mrs. McMullen delighted the audience with a solo sung to her own accompaniment on the harp. Miss Doris Bishop also gave a de- lightful piano solo EXAM.
