In the business section the chief items among the new buildings are:â€"Timâ€" mins Bottling Works, Birch street, $18,â€" 000; Korman Dairy, Wiilson avenue, $10,000.

As all who saw the parade here know, this is not the fact, The Ukrainian Prosvita Society section was in the parade, as it has been in all other festivalic parâ€" ades here, and as in previous events, it was a valued and appreciated part of the parade. When chieéf Gagnon was shown a translation of the story in the Winnipeg Ukrainian paper he made it plain that the story was withâ€" out truth so far as the police were conâ€" cerned, The Ukrainian â€" Prosvita Ssociety was in the parade and included the route in the usual way. They were, as usual, a credit in every way to the Canadian Ukrainian people. It is absolutely untrue, Chief Gagnon says, that the police had any call to interâ€" fere with the Canadian Ukrainian Prosvita Society. "I have always found these Canadian Ukrainians orâ€" derly, lawâ€"abiding and~loyal people," was the chief‘s expression in he matter.
