"The increased amount of septic tonk inspections js caused by the de- velopment of the Wilson sub-divi- siom on King street east, where there is no other means of toilet convenience disposal. "If the stories which we hear re- lative to the nossible development which is to teke place in the mear future, we will without any doubt have 50, or 60 septic tanks in this district within the next eight or ten months, or perhaps more than that. "Water samples have been taken from the wells which supply the ereater portion of the citizens liv- ing on Knights road with their supply for domestic purposes. The result of analysis have been very favorable, and the water is reported 2s upsafe for human consumption. This report has been forwarded to the Chairman of the Water Com- mission of the City of Oshawa. ad- vising them of the danger which might be lurking in this water sun- rly; for the unfortunate individuals who may be compelled to use it. "The finding of wilk analysis from samoles collected" from zeps of the City of Oshawa. has been very favorable indeed. It is possible however t9» cut down the bacteria coupt in fome eases. *The drsinage from some of the | cellars in the older buildings which are in use is far from what it should be in very many cases, and many are the requests to visit such a place and pass upon its condition as either being favorable or unfav- orable. "To arrive at the proper solution of conditions which come under this catagory, fit is quite necessary to use as good iudement as one might possess, for it would be impossible to fix a set standard to govern such insnections."

Culling, life saving officer. Ninety per | cent. of the mishaps resulted from broken glass being strewn about the beach. This fact drew comment frm the mem- bers to the effect that people should take more care in leav- ing bottles and other forms of glass in any place which might cause injuries. "This shows aross meglect on the part of somehody "" Dr, MeKay assert- ed, 'and also the need for something to he done to clear the sands to make it safe for bathers." Sanitary Inspector helieved the 1928 council should ap- pnint some one to look after the heach ciltne instances of rnelean conditions which made it unsafe for bathing. Reviews Work of Public Health Nursing Service And Emphasizes Needs or less anxiety, by those interested in the cleanliness of the muniei- pality"s milk supply, owing to the fat that at this season of the year comes the change from pasture to stable, and the accompanying sweep- in- and whitewashing operations in in the stable, and the clipping of the cattle. It is, therefore, at this time, we usually find a more or less clondiness of the sediment discs. Tt is nleasing to be phle to announce that the 79 dises, representing each ~f the milk producers for the pda'ries of Oshawa, taken during the month prove, in no uncertain way, that in spite of the handicap under which a majority of the producers ra temporarily working, that excep- 'io~al care is being exercised in their mi'king and straining onerations. to deliver their nrnduct in the best no~<ihle eanditinn, "Puring t"e meath 17 visits were mede to a like number of dairy fa ms, when it was generally noted thet the work of the fall cleaning aperations were well under way, and 'n many cases finished.

Five T. B. livers in cattle were the only evi- dence of dizease discovered. The con- ( dition of the animals slaughtered waz generally very satisfactory. Only one. T B. test was made dur- ing the month, and that on a newly purchased cow for a tested herd." HUGE QUANTITY OF LIQUOR SEIZED Approximately 6,000 Cases and Barrels of Contraband Secured By Officers Quebec, Que., Nov. 24--Approxi- mately six thousand cases and bar- rels of contraband liquor, valued at between $200 000 and $300,000, seized in three houses along the wa- ter-front at Platon, Lotbiniere Coun- ty, Quebec, Tuesday, by customs of- ficials of the Province of Quebec, arrived here today aboard the barge Lemay. The story of the raid and seizure was made known only to- day, after the greatest secrecy was kept by the police surrounding the affair. No arrests were made. Customs men, according to the story, suspected that unknown in- dividuals stored for some time past, barrels and cases iu three Platon houses. Last Tuesday an expedition was organized, and the officers left Quebec City without making their mission kmown, aud proceeded to Platon. Om arriving there they found several large motor trucks, which had been abandoned in ditch- es along the road. Making their way into the houses, the raiding party came upon thousands of cases and barrels of liguor, apparently ready for shipment to some unknown des- tination, but they could not find a single person in any of the build- ings.. The barge Lemay was called into service, the liquor was loaded aboard the boat, and then shipped to Quebec. . CLAIMS AGENT DIES Winnipeg, Man. Nov. 24--D.

V ETERAN MEMPHIS JOURNALIST DIES AT AGE OF SEVENTY-ONE Memphis, Tenn., Nov. 24--Sim L. Barinds, first correspondent of the Associated Press in Memphis, who risked his life in order to ob- tain an accurate report of the yel- low fever here im 1878, died last night at the age of 71. During the scourge, thousands of residents who fled depended on him for informa- tion about friends and relatives left behind. He had covered many oth- | dents' er big stories in his long career. one of six offices which were con- tested and not counting cases of ah- sence through sickness, an almost 100 per cent vote was®poiled. \ithough the poles closed ap 1.45 o'clock, it was not until 4.30 in the afternoon that the final results were fl shed on a screen in the assembly hall especially produced for the oe- casion, which had been scanned gince four o'clock with anxious an- ticipation, by the eight hundred students and teachers who formed the electing body. The "Pre-ipitate'"" party carried the day wit hfour seats against their wponent's the *Hesitates" two Margaret Anderson in fifth form, leader of the 'Precipitates' and lassmpte of her opponent, Hugh Cilrhrict, leader of the "Hesitates," wos elected president. Her election was a popular one and is the first time since the Councils inaugura- | tion in which a girl has been ele~l- ed to this high position on the Stu- Couneil. In perhaps the closest pe!l of any, another *Pre- cipitate," Kenneth Heddon, in form 4A. was elected as vice president, in avor of the strong bid made by his opponent, Ernie Marks. Other de- idedly close contests were seen in the election for treasurer when Ed- ward Burns nosed out Clifford Car ter for the, responsibilities falling to that office and in the -election for nroctor, which finally resulted in Dorothy Patten being named by a small majority over Flora McRob- erts. For Marshal, Stuart Carver, wrs given the choice over Jack Hen- y. who, nevertheless, conducted a brithi ant campaign, while for secre- y, Daisy Callaghan on a '"Hesi- (at e" ticket, carried the polls over Molly Sinclair, who drew an es- pe dally large vote in the Commer- cial forms. "Hesitates' elected were Daisy Callaghan and Dorothy Pat- ten, a Ithe remainder, Margaret Anderscn, Kenneth Heddon, Ed. Burns and Stuart Carver, as men- tioned above, being "Precipitates." The elcetion, wsa carried out in the most elaborate style of anytmng of its kind ever seen at the Collegi- ate. Deputy returning officers, poll clerks, scrutineers, messengers anu regulation ballot boxes along with printed ballots, were all brought in- 'o service and with fixed voting hours, voters' lists and advance ad- vertising and propaganda all the at- mosphere of a genuine election was in evidence. The "Precipitates" platform which they now promise to curry out, was as follows: Plank 1, the revival of the Acta Ludi, (the s hool magazine); Plank 2, the iu- auguration of a lecture course; plank 3, the installation of eleva- tors and escalators for the weary; plank 4, Uniform dress for all Sol- legiate girls; plank 5, the establish- ment of a "Lost and Found' de- partment. Needless to say planks 3 and 5 are more or less visionary but the other three might actually come into being. At the general school assembly this morning the candidates spoke ard thanked the students for the honor which has been conferred upon them. RETAILERS HOLD BANQUET wen Sound, Ont, Nov. 24--The annua! banquet of the Retail Bureau of Trade of Owen Sound was held this evening. The principal speaker was Mr. Frank E. Mutton, whose sub- ject was "Merchandising." BIRTH RATE IS DOWN IN EIGHT PROVINCES Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 24.--In every province with the exception of Quebec, Canada's birth rate is down. Figures for last May were issued by the Bureau of Statistics today. They give a Dominion birth rate of 25.1 per 1,000 population against a rate of 26.1 for May of last year. Quebec's rate of 34.6 against 33.6 in the previous May was the highest in the Dominion. New Brunswick had the mext highest rate 'with 26.8 cbm- pared with 27.7 for May last year.
