,?bm were the Principal Questions * _ Before Council at Meceting Last Woeek At the ajourned meeting of the Town Council on Wednesday evening, in addition to the passing of the esâ€" timates of the Public Works Departâ€" ment, referred to elsewhere in this issue, thechief topics discussed were MJPCUOHS to the assessment, the AGGESGMENT, ORAYMEN HOVSING 203 10408 jections to the assessment, the r of cartage clicenses, hetter roads for the district t, and the Housâ€" ing Commission Plan. The Mayor occupied the chair, and Councillors Fogg, Newton, Studor and Brazeaun were present. The estimates of the Board of Works were first considered and passed on motion of Councillors Brazeau and Studor. Councillor Brazeau then suggested the erection of posts bearing signs to indicate the way for the trailice to go at the principal corners. He said that towns and cities in the south had these indicators, and without tltem this town was liable to have a serious accident sometime. The posts would bear a red light at nights. The questâ€" ion was sidetracked while some other matter was being dealt with, and the Mayor directed attention back to it by saying:â€"‘*Well, how do you wish to dispose of this Red Light District plan of Mr.â€" Brazeau‘sâ€" I mean Red Light Post Plan.‘‘ On motion of Councillors Brazeau and Newton the Council decided to erect one of these patent traffic directing posts at the Goldfields corner, one at the Marshallâ€" Eccleston corner and one at Dalton‘s. Mr. Brazeau referred to the danger from autos travelling too fast in town and the motion included a eclause to enforee the law for the protection of life, the town speed limit for autos not to exeeed 12 miles an hour. Onr motion of Conuncillors Newton and Fogz the pay of the V olunteer Firemen for the first three montlhis of the year was authorized to be paids On motion of Councillor Brazeau and Studor a grant of $50,00 was made to the loeal Boy Sgouts to asâ€" sist in naying the expenses of the lmu {fo Toronto to meet the head of their organization, General Sir It. Badcvm Poweli. Friends of the Boy Sequts land ‘he returned was in the swampy part and not valuable for other purâ€" poses. Mr. Wallingford is erecting a new amill and so tae additional land [ was required. In view of the â€"fact| that the > ". N .. 0GO: llli;_:hl n:quire ' some of the land, and to allow of in-i s * vestication as to whether it would be a good business proposition for town to sell any of this property, the matâ€" fer was laid over for a Committee to report, setting a price if it is practiâ€" eal to dispose of any of the land. The Mayor, Dr. Mceiums, referred | to the importance to the districi of | good roads. HMe pointed out the lw-' nefits that might acerue from a Road Commission, probably composed of the heads of the municipalities in the Camp and representatives from the Motor League.. When â€" Hon. Mr. Ferguson visited here recently he said tht the Governimnt would add a dolâ€"| lar to every single dollar pult up by the municipalities for the betterment of the roads.

Mr N. MceKinnon, Secretary of the local Miners‘ Union, presided and brief addresses were made by Counâ€" cillors W . De Fenand L. 8. Newton. Mr. De Feu gave a brief summary of the interview with the Royal Comâ€" mission recently in Cobalt on a Dominionâ€"wide review of industrial‘ conditions. Mr. DeFenu said. that he had explained to the Commission that any dissatisfaction among the workers in the Porenpine might be traced to three leading eauses:â€" the improper prejudice against recogniâ€" tion of the Whnion, the matter of wages, and the lack of proper hospital accommodiation, particularly for woâ€" men, and children. The methods of appointing mining inspectors and the composition of the coroner‘s juries sitting ‘in connection with fatal acâ€" cidents at the mines were also critiâ€" cised. Mr. De Feu thought the preâ€" sent mining insp@etor competent and 'squaro and satisfactory, but ])le\l()lla appointments and the method of apâ€" pointment were open to objection . He also thought that the imle should !m«lmlv at:least some men who knew lmmol ling about mines, so that intelâ€" ligent verdicts mightâ€" be. reached. "l"u.» aften now the juries were picked iup mwriedly on the street and the evidence meant little to them.

Mr. De Feu recomâ€" mended Industrial Councils, composed ot" representatives of ‘both Labor and Capital and to which both sides should be compelled to submit their case, as (re best probable guarantee of peace and coâ€"operation industrially. Mr Newton said that people did not get often enough in tirese matters. He referred to the general unrest and suggested that the ‘‘getâ€" together‘‘ spirit would hbe the only cure. **When both sides get to know each other better, they will be surâ€" prised to find what good fellows they are,"‘ he said, ‘‘and adjustment will be comparatively easy then."‘ He suggested that the time was coming when the â€" employerss of labor !\\'nuld insist upon dealing only with I:n-gunizod labor bodies as the more Ipm(-li«,\l and eonvenient way, and prejudice against unions would be a |thing of the past even in the mining cused it as camouflage. â€" Real lite on earth, he pointed out, would begin at the point when the workers reached complete â€" Democraey . He _ boidly ‘declared his patriotism, his love of * * his own ecountry, ‘‘and this,"" he said ‘‘is the very reason why I want to see my co@ntry the best place on earth for a man to flive in.‘" A certain i!carned gentleman had once illustratâ€" ed the eeonomic conditions as regards the workers by a reference to the Am erican Beauty Rose, which he said was |the product of brains and was a sampâ€" le of the ‘*survival of the fittest .‘!
