Before the ’ first meeting opened the use of the Town Hall was generously altered by Mayor J P.

What may be considered an official summary of the progress of the war (Continued on Page Six) Wholesalers Not Hoardin Sugar Here Mr. Wm. Nicolson, manager of Gain“ ble-Robinson’ 3 Wholesale, this morn- ing explained the sugar situation in town and showed that there had been no attempt. to proflteer. Wholesalers here had no sugar on hand and were not hoarding'it. This was why it was necessary for the moment for the stores to ration sugar to some extent. A chief trouble" thatrhérszw" was the “factrthat it is the preserving season and there is special demand for sugar, with less than the normal on hand. However, he was emphatic that there had been no increase in price, but simply a tem- porary shortage. Some weeks ago the wholesalers had put in their usual orders for sugar to meet the needs, but these had not been filled. This year they had one car of sugar shipped here this month, whim last year there had been at least three at this time. Mr. Nicolson thought that the difficulty arose from the government stopping shipments of sugar from the refineries until full control could be made of its distribution to prevent profiteering or unequal distribution as , happened in the last war. So far as the Wholesales are concerned Mr. Nicolson said, there is absolutely no hoarding, no increase in iprice, no profiteering. and so far as in’e knew the same held true about the .stores. “There is lots of sugar in Can- Iada," he said, “and it’s only a ques- No Sugar Shortage in the ‘~ Country, Says Mr. W. Nicolson. tion of distributing it." The Town Council was asked to con- sider a resolution. passed by the Police Commission at a. special meeting on Tuesday afternoon, that the Chief Con... stable be given ’ authority to hire tem- porary constables during the crisis. The nesoiution arose out of the fact that orders were received by the Ontario government to place guards on several municipal .prOperties around town. Guards took their place on Saturday of last‘week. Mayor Bartleman received word from the government that it was imperative that. men be armed and placed at. strategic points on town pro- party, such as the sewage disposal plant, the town hall, Mattagami bridge, gasoline tanks and the new hydro sta- tion under construction on Pine Street. The Town Hall has been closed in the evening and even the library above has been closed so that entry may not be We to the building. The bridge is W patrolled, the sewage disposal plant and the new hydro station being built in the south end of the town.
