THE LIQUOR BYLAW New Regulations are Embodied in the Amended Meas ure. Objection Raised to Sections Which It Is Feared Clash With Act. There was exultation in the ranks ■of the dominant section of the City Council on Tuesday evening as they pushed the different sections of the new liquor bylaw through. As the portions objected to by Aid. Smith. and Aid. Hildltch, on the ground that they were beyond the powers of the council to pass were protested against by these members of the council, a chorus from the other section of the council sounded forth from time to time all in unison, the burden of the refrain being arbitrary power of license commissioners, down with Victoria Vancouver has proved its power, this wilrl soon be tested in fhe courts. To the accompanying marry maidenlike ripple of laughter from Aid. Naden and Aid. Pattullo, the chorus proceeded. The bylaw had been objected to ln some details at the previous sitting ot the council and when It came up for consideration on Tuesday evening Aid. Moblyey said he would like to see the bylaw pass through its third reading at the sitting. He did not care when its reconsideration was given it—before or after the third reading. Aid. Mobley moved the third reading of the liquor bylaw, seconded by Aid. Naden. Bylaw Re-Committed Aid. Lynch moved in amendment that the bylaw be re-committed. After some discussion the amendment carried ad the bylaw was recommitted with Aid. Naden in the chair. , Aid. Mclntyre referred to the sec- ilc.n which forbids an intoxicated jier- son from being allowed to enter a bar. He said that this would require each hotel to have a doorkeeper. Aid. Mobley thought it was unnecessary. It was not to be supposed tliut hotel men wished to harbor drunken people. Ills Worship thought these people were better In the bars than on the streets. It. was finally, on motion of Aid. Pattullo deckled to amend the bylaw io that no license should allow an ntoxlcated person to leave the prem- ses except under the charge of a lerson not under the influence of iqiior. Liquor at Meals Aid. Harrow wanted to amend the lylaw so that a person spending 50 ents on a meal should be allowed to ■e served with liquor. It was pointed out that there were o restaurant licenses and this was llowetl to drop. The solicitor explained that clause and 7a had been embodied tn lause 37. Aid. SmfYh wished to know if the ylaw should not come before them 3 it left the committee and not Itered. It was explained that in reality tere was no change. The sections ad been consolidated simply. The section dealt, with the cancelation of licenses which could only be Me by the license commissioners >r violation of the law or in case of iductlon in the number of licenses i a result of the showing of the ipulation. Question of Power Aid. Hilditch wanted to know if e council had authority to pass is. W. E. Williams, the city solicitor, id that they had. Aid. Hilditch asked the section d the reply was given that It was ider section 205 of the municipal tuses act. Aid. Hilditch referred to sections 3 and 204 of the municipal clauses t, and contended that according to sse the commissioners had powers it they were taking away by this law. The city solicitor held this power s given to enquire into nay "lrgcs against a licensee. Aid. Hildltch contended that his plied to the renewal of licenses. Vested Rights Aid. Pattullo felt that licensees mediately the licenses were grant ed had a vested right created and should not be rendered liable to losing those licenses. - Aid. Smith said he protested against this clause as he felt that it ran contrary to the municipal clauses act. Aid. Pattullo felt that it should be passed. The city solicitor gave as his opinion that the section was within their power to pass. He wanted ■the authority of Aid. Smith that It was contrary to the act. Aid. Smith said he understood that the city solicitor only stated that In his opinion the section was within the power of ithe council to pass. Solicitor's Opinion The solicitor explained that until a question had gone to the privy council, no counsel could say positively what the final decision would be and a counsel could only speak to the best of his understanding. Some further discussion followed, Aid. Pattullo and others saying that it was right that the section should be In force. Aid. Smith said this might be but it was not on that point he was opposing it. He opposed it because he was satisfied it was useless as the council by so enacting, purported to take powers it did not have. Aid. Pattullo and others support- • Continued on Page Four) o LUMBER BIDS IN Only Two Firms Tender on the Supply Needed for the Streets. Georgetown Sawmill Ask to Re Allowed to Give Prices on Small Quantities. Tenders for two million feet of lumber for the city were received by the city council last evening. Before proceeding to open these a letter was read from the Georgetown Sawmill company. That firm WTote that they oould not tender for two million feet in competition with the larger mills in the south, but were prepared to tender for smaller quantities that might be required from time to time. The tenders received were as follows— J. T. Todd—fir decking, $20 a thousand. Swanson Bay company (J. T. Todd), dimension spruce, $18 a thousand; spruce decking, $1S. Westholme Lumber Co.—dimension spruce, $15.25 a thousand; spruce decking. $15.25; fir decking, $,19 a thousand. The lenders and the letter of the Georgetown Sawmill company were referred to the streets committee. o GRANT TO HOSPITAL City Council Sets Aaide the Sum of $1,000 for the Institution This Year. Question of Additional Grants Next Year to lie Fully Gone Into. The City Council has decided to make a grant this year of $1,000 to the city hospital. This action was taken on Tuesday evening on the report of the finance committee. In presenting the report Aid. Pattullo said that the Board had asked for $2,500. In view of the fact that the flnancels of the city were not such as to warrant a larger expenditure than necessary the Finance Committee of the Council felt It could not advance more than $1,000. It was felt, In fact, that the whole question of control should be gone into before a larger note was made. The report was adopted. Charles Cullin left for the south last evening. He will spend the winter In Victoria. * * * Mr. Bondeaux and Mrs. Bondeaux left last evening for California, where they will spend the winter. * * * After making an inspection of the line as far as Hazelton, B. B. Kelliher, chief engineer of the G. T. P., returned to the city this week and left laBt night for Vancouver on his wny east. He will report upon conditions to his principals. CAMPAIGN OPENED Interesting Discussion of Questions of the Day at Ward Rally, Ald; Pattullo Holds First Public Meeting in Skating Rink. What might be termed the first meeting of the municipal campaign was held on Wednesday evening ln the Skating Rink, being called by Aid. Pattullo who is again a candidate for alderman in Ward No. 2. There was a very fair attendance in spite of the disagreeable weather and quite a few speakers were afforded an opportunity to make known their views. In opening the meeting Aid. Pattullo took occasion to magnify upon bis magnanimity in connection with his invitation to other candidates to speak. He said he would explain why he had not invited candidates opposed to him to take part in the meeting. He had the honor of calling the first, meeting of the campaign. He had on the last occasion on which there was a contest invited Mr. Man- son to appear. He had given Mr. Manson all the time he desired. When Mr. Manson later held a meeting he had not nivited him (Aid. Pattullo) to speak. He then invlthed all the candidates and Mayor Stork to come forward and take places on the platform. Aid. Pattullo Aid. Pattullo said he appealed to the electorate on the record of the year. The work done could be ascertained by looking about the city. Aid. Hilditch had objected to too much work being done in section 1 rather than in the residential section. He felt that this was done by Aid. Hilditch particularly for the purpose of gaining a political advantage. The first business was to build up a business section. Having decided to do what toad been done for the business section, all that could be done was to give plank roads to the outlying section. It was Impracticable to grade South Avenue. It would be impossible to get the finances. Had the money that was provided for in Section 1 been proposed for outlying sections, the Bank of Montreal would not .have come through with the funds it did. Day Labor Questions In the matter 'of day labor, the council had given a good deal of thought. He had an open mind on that subject. Where he believed it would be an advantage he would favor day labor. During the pasl year he advocated contract work because the engineering staff was not organized. He did not pose as the particular friend of the labor men. He himself was a middleman. It was the duty of this class to see that neither the labor man nor the capitalist encroach upon the other. The man who was responsible for the G. T. P. assessment difficulty was not the man to settle it. What he meant was that Mr. Cuthbert, the man who made the assessment was the nominee of Mr. Manson. He referred to the high assessment on the waterfront and the low assessment in other sections. Mr. Cuthbert was appointed by the McBride Government on the recommendation of Mr. Manson. Mr. Manson was the man responsible for the G. T. P. assessment. Last year the G. T. P. company and the McBride Government took a part In the election. Tiny were taking a part again. The G. T. P. assessment matter was not yet settled and he warned the people against electing Mr. Manson for fear the G. T. P. would get all it wanted. Do you want n wobbly-wobbly man like Mr. Manson., or a man like Frank Mobley? asked Aid. Pattullo, indicating the character of his campaign. Liquor Proposition He was of the opinion that this club which was waved over the heads of the liquor men should cease. That was why he supported the clause in the liquor ylaw which took the power away from I lie commissioners to cut off the heads of license holders. No one In the building felt that the heads of the hotel men should be cut off except for misdemeanors. Yet Aid. Smith and Aid. Hildltch were opposed to this. He believed in continuity of policy and felt tihat Frank Mobley and himself were the men best posted upon affairs of the city. Aid. Mobley Aid. Mobley in introducing himself spoke in the highest terms of Aid. Pattullo. He had the courage of his convictions. He was not a stubborn man. He had worked hard. His work on the finance committee was a great work. There had been a concerted movement he felt to press this city to the wall by the powers that be outside the city. The city was not stuck and the city had to thank Aid. Pattullo for it. Had the debentures of the city been put on the market they would have been kuocked in London, In Montreal and in Vancouver. He had no quarrel with Mr. Manson nor with the McBride Government. It owas a good government and had done good work. That government should keep out of municipal affairs. He did not say that the government had attempted to interfere. He would, however, see that it did not do so. Mr. Manson might fill the position he had well. He did not believe that Mr. Manson was able to fill the two positions. Mr. Manson was a good politician, but he (Aid. Mobley) could run the cit ybetter than Mr. Manson could. [Continued on Page Three) SEWERS ARE COSTLY Proposition for the First Section of Work Would Cost Nearly $200,000. It Is Provided That These Local Improvement Debentures Shall Extend Over 40 Veins. The sewering of the city, judging from the first proposition brought before the council last evening, will be a very costly undertaking. Aid. Lynch, the father of the sewer plan Introduced, was somewhat dismayed himself at the proposed cost and the engineer's figures were referred back to the streets committee. It was explained that the main trunk sewers are to be paid for out of general levy. The lateral systems will be paid for under the local improvement plan. The first local improvement district proposed to be done is that basin from the use of ground, between Lynch's store and Eighth street extending to the high ground about Fulton street and running back to the ridge along the line of Fourth street. The cost as submitted by the engineer for this district was put at $191,000. It is proposed that the debentures shall extend over 40 years and that the city shall bear the cost of the work for street intersections. Aid. Lynch while expecting the cost to be high, was'a little in doubt about thmis,point and proposed that it should be referred to the streets committee. The motion carried. PLANS NOT FILED Letter Received by Council Relative to the G. T. P. Right of Way. The city council last evening received a letter from the department of Railways and Canals with respect to the resolution protesting against the closing of the bays along the waterfront. The letter states that plans were filed by the company, but were later withdrawn before being approved of. Nothing had, therefore, been done in the matter. Aid. Mobley said the inference from this letter would indicate that the matter was still open and open to an amicable settlement. Aid. Pattullo suggested that the department be asked not to approve of any plans until the city had been given a chance to be heard. Aid .Naden n:' ed In this direction and the motion carried. o " PRIZES FOR G. T. Information received at the Grand Trunk System offices announce the fact that the grand jury of the In- terndational Exposition, Brussels, have given the Grand Trunk four awards in connection with their exhibit at the exposition.

Cum- mings, who was in charge of the exhibit. 1 Gold Medal to the Architect of the building.

NELoON, Editor. e Friday, December 30, 1910. REMOVING GLAMOR. The meeting held by Aid. Pattullo on Wednesday evening may be regarded as tiie opening of the municipal campaign. Aid. Hilditch, who was asked to speak at the meeting, did much in the course of his remarks to remove the glamor with which it has been studiously attempted to surround Aid. Pattullo as a financier. The speech of Aid. Hilditch went to show that in the handling of the financial arrangements, the chairman of the finance committee only fo'lowed Ihe suggestion made to the council by the representative of the bank. On the part of the dominant section of the council there has been of late an attempt to make it appear that Aid. Pattullo was a heaven-born financier, that he was practically Indispensable to the city in this de- partment. The history of the nego- tiations which Aid. Hilditch makes public woud tend to remove the halo with which it was attempted to surround the head of the finance com- niiiiee. He is shown to be common clay, in fact, and to have done little or nothing more in the financing of the schemes of the city than any other member of the council would have done under similar circumstances. The Bank of Montreal made advances and the finance committee accepted the terms. It has, in fact, been a policy of drift to a large extent. We do not use the term ln any offensive sense. What is evident is that the dominant section in public business worked hard to keep up with public opinion and took the course which presented itself to view. In that course it has been generally accepted that Aid. Lynch and Aid. Pattullo had the most to do. When the question of deciding what course to pursue with respect to street work, the local improvement plan was adopted. Without going into the merits of the respective systems, there is no question that the local Improvement plan found favor more on account of its removing the trouble of deciding between what portions should he improved than on account of its Intrlnsii lerits. It was easier to say to t! : iesidents of any district that il should have what it asked for than to weigh the matter and decide the matter on its merits. The local Improvement plan has its advantages, but if we are not mistaken, it was the principle of drift thai actuated the council more than anything else to adopt it to the extent to which il was carried in Prince Rupert. There are large questions to deal with in Prince Rupert. The coming year will call for careful administration, There are larger questions to be deall witli than have come up this lasl year. Among these Is Hie water question. Il Is essential that careful nun should be selected. In William Manson, the electorate have a man who lias had wide experience in dealing with public mailers. He is cautions and the city should be glad to secure such a man to administer its affairs. to do it that would counteract effectually any such action. It is like the outcry against the danger of police search for liquor without a search warrant. While in theory it throws the door open to abuse it would never be taken advantage of by a chief ot police but once, for he would be dismissed if lie made a search without excellent reason. This putting up bogey men to try to stampede the electorate will fail, for the public will not be mislead by any such methods. There are those who see party politics in all kinds of out-of-the-way places. .Mayor Stork boasted that only three members of the city council were members of the Liberal Associa- tion. He might have added that while he was president of the Association, he was not as fearful of Conservative bogeys as a member of tho council who is not a member of the Liberal Association, but who sees party machines by day and by night. This is Aid. Pattullo, whose usefulness as a municipal representative ia lessened very materially by the predisposition he has to see a Conservative party move in the shimplest of actions. o BLIND PIG CRUSADE. It is announced that a crusade is lo be instituted against the sellers of liquor without licenses. This will be welcome news to all who wish to see the law carried out strictly, but the question at once arises, why has this not been done earlier? It looks loo much like an election move at this stage. There has been a determined demand for enforcement of the law for some time. The police commissioners cannot be regarded as blameless that more stringency was not shown in the matter. There is again evidence that the police commissioners, Mayor Stork, and Aid. Mobley, for Mr. Halsey has been away most of the term of office, following a system of drifting allowed matters to run on without interference according to the sweet will of those concerned. The approach of election time alone aroused the commission when it was found that the bylaw was not effective in some respects. Under the excuse of getting a new bylaw through, further delays have followed. There was the machinery, however, under the old bylaw to put down illicit selling. The administration of police affairs has not been such as to recommend Aid. Mobley for the mayor's chair. o Banker (to new tutor)—Always bear in mind that in my children I am entrusting to you my most precious possessions and give them youi best. And what is your lowest price? MISREPRESENT SITUATION. Capital Is attempted lo be made oul of Ihe tacl thai Aid. Hilditch and Aid. Smith oppoved certain sections in the new liquor bylaw, it is being represented that they favor putting power in the hands of the (Oininls- si iiers to deal unjustly with license holders. Such an attempt Is mlsrep- til ' on of tin- worst kind. Aid. Smith during the discussion stated that in practice the object aimed at, namely, the ensuring that licenses should nol be cancelled without good cause was all right but It was a question whether the council had the power to enact as it was proposing to do. These aldermen simply aimed at keeping the bylaw clear of clauses that might render It liable to being quashed. The outcry ugalnst the commissioners being liable to cut off the heads of hotel keepers without good cause is very easy material to use in an election campaign where an attempt is made by cheap clap-trap to gain a few votes. In practice il does not work out. There is no danger of a commission so acting. Publico ln< lon Is such that there would be S'mh an outcry If an attempt were made WATER NOTICE.

ROCHESTER, - Centre Street Job Printing of all kinds neatly executed at the Journal Office. Friday, December 30, 1910. PRINCB CAMPAIGN OPENED (Continued From Page One.) He was going to wait until the criticisms were put forward before saying much. He believed that Mr. Manson did not wish to run but was practically forced to run by his supposed friends. William Mnnson Mr. Manson, being called to speak, thanked Aid. Pattullo for an opportunity of appearing. He would not take up any time, however, at this stage. There had been a sort of understanding between himself and Aid. Mobley that the meeting should not commence until after New Year. He was going to stand by this. Aid. Pattullo is entirely wrong when he stated that Mr. Cuthbert's appointment was made by himself. He did not say that Mr. Cuthbert had not done his work well. In the matter of his appointment, Mr. Cuthbert was recommended by the citizens' committee and the composition ot that committee was read, including Mr. Manson, Mayor Stork, Aid. Naden and others. Mr. Cuthbert had no instructions from himself nor from any one else as far as he knew. Mr. Cuthbert had to follow rules laid down by the act. No suggestion had been made by anyone. He did it on his own judgment as any assessor would do. Referring to a statement of Aid. Pattullo that Mr. Cuthbert was given a government position as a reward for his work as assessor, Mr. Manson said before the assessment proposal had come up It was arranged that Mr. Cuthbert would take a position in the civil service. Dealing with the criticism that he was not independent, Mr. Manson said that he was as free and independent as any man, including Aid. Mobley. He was just as free and independent of the provincial governors as any one in the room. M. M. Stephens M. M. Stephens was somewhat surprised at the turn which the speaker had taken. The meeting had resolved Itself into a mutual admiration society. Aid. Pattullo praised Aid. Mobley, and Aid. Mobley regarded Aid. Pattullo In a similar light. Aid. Mobley was a man' that he regarded as a friend, but Aid. Mobley had never been blamed for being the father of any legislation in the city hall. Aid. Mobley—"I do Is right, that's why." Mr. Stephens, continuing, referred to the fact that Aid. Mobley was running for mayor instead of some one else. He would regret to introduce party politics into this campaign but was it possible that a federal election was ln sight and some one must be got out of the way? G. T. P, Taxation He referred to the mayor's request that the G. T. P. assessment question should be kept out of this campaign. He had not intended to introduce it but Aid. Pattullo had introduced it at the meeting in the theatre and again that evening. The more closely this G. T. P. assessment was looked into the less advantage would come to the members of the council in the matter. Aid. Pattullo had said there was danger of the city being handed over tn the G. T. P. Had the city not been handed over lock stock and barrel to the Bank of Montreal? There had been a lot of talk about the financial policy of the council. All that that consisted of was the getting of money wherever it could be got. .. As the campaign went on he would j have an opportunity to more fully explain his position. There had been a lol of talk about, the financial policy of tbe council. All that consisted of was! the getting of money wherever it could be got. As the campaign went on he would have an opportunity to more fully explain ills position. Mayor Stork Mayor Stork referred to the immense amount of work that has been entailed upon the members of the council. It has also entailed a lot of criticism. The press has kept very busy criticising. The council lias, served well. They were prepared to : answer any criticisms. The papers had done a lot of harm in criticising •the council. They have been chared with creating a Tammany Hall. This originated when members of the council went into the market nnil bought stock in a newspaper. There were only three member^ of I lie council who were members of the Liberal Association. If there was any Tammany Hall In Prince Rupert the passing of the liquor bylaw by the council would show it up. Liquor Interests For his part he could not see why B*rank Clapp, a man who could buy out Vernor Smith and Joe Merryfield ten times over, could not get a license for selling liquor by the wholesale. Continuing, the mayor said that the Scott act was brought on to smash up a gang that was trying to control the liquor interests in Prince Rupert. He believed that the objection to the getting of money by the council was not so much as to where the council got the money, but that it got it at all. Mr. Manson had a faculty of getting bad advisors. He has a great respect for Mr. Manson, but he had hoped he would get better running mates. But tonight he read that he was supported by S. M. New- ton.fl He was afraid Mr .Manson was running in bad company again. H. Douglas H. Douglas being called to the platform, read the planks of his platform. Aid. Hilditch Aid. Hilditch, in opening, said that any criticism he had to offer during the campaign would pertain to matters of policy alone, and there would be no personal feeling. He did not say that any man in last year's coun- cil had not done his duty. He believed each had done what he felt was in the public Interest. He was opposed to the policy pursued in many instances. Dealing with Aid. Pattullo's financial policy, Aid. Hilditch said that up to the time C. D. Rand arrived in Prince Rupert there was no financial policy in the city. Mr. Rand laid a proposition from the Bank of Montreal. The bank offered to ad vancve the money provided the city made the Bank of Montreal its financial agents. Aid. Hilditch said he asked Mr. Rand if it would make any difference in the rates if the money was borrowed on the credit of the city, to be paid back out of general revenue, or if borrowed on the credit of the whole city, the work being done by the local improvement plan, or if borrowed on the credit of the local improvement section when the work was done. Mr. Rand said the cheapest way to borrow money was according to th© first method. He said that the difference between the rates in the method of borrowing for local improvement on the credit of the whole city and the borrowing for work to be done out of general revenue on the credit of the whole city would be about six points in favor of the latter method. This would make a difference as between 100 and 94 in the prices of the debentures. Pattullo's Finance Aid. Pattullo was given a great deal of credit for his financial policy. Aid. Pattullo did nothing but follow the line of least resistance. He followed as Mr. Rand said on the local Improvement plan as laid down by Aid. Lynch. When Aid. Pattullo took upon himself the credit of the financial policy he was taking too much. Application was made to other members and they did not give as good terms as the Bank of Montreal. Mr. Sweeney, of the bank, came up nnd drew up the proposition and Aid. Paltullo signed it. Was there any Lloyd-George financiering in that? i laughter). The Situation But worse still, when Mr. Sweeney refused to advance more money, Aid. Pattullo has said the u. T. P. was responsible for the money not being advanced. If that were true and the G. T. P. was able to influence the Bunk of Montreal not to advance it, then it was able to influence it to advance it. But the city had borrowed $500,000 from the I'lank of Montreal. It was pledged to make the Bank of Montreal its agents. If the G, T. P. had the influence as represented It could knock the city when the debentures went on the market and the city was in a worse position than ever. "We have the $500,000 instead of $163,000," said Aid. Pattullo, "and had that as a club," Aid. Hudltch relurned thai the pity had not the money. It lias been spent and the money lo repay It had to be raised. Com mission System On the liquor bylaw he felt better pleased with the present system of commissioners. After the action of Aid. Pattullo and Aid. Mobley and Ihe dominent faction who tried to make it a political machine, he had come to the conclusion that the commission system was the best one. He would deal more fully with that later in the campaign. Aid. Lynch Aid. Lynch said that the finance committee was forced by the adoption of the local improvement scheme to secure money as AU!. Pattullo did. He felt that with the guarantee of Hie district and the guarantee of the city back of that the security must bo as good as bonds guaranteed by the city for Investment out of general To the Electors of Ward 2 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: — At the re request of a number of electors I have consented to stand for the office of Alderman and respectfully solicit your vote and influence.

Railway Commission Has Fonnd That the Prices Are Now Too High. Judgment has been given by the Canadian Railway Commission on the express rates cases, which declares that rates are too high and orders the companies to file lower tariffs within three months. It also states that express com panics are owned by railway companies and therefore there is no occasion for the existence of separate companies to handle the express business of Canada, but that it could be done by the railway companies, as it ish in fact being done now. The judgment declares that the express companies over-pay the railways for accomodation in stations, and intimates that this is a convenient way of disposing of profits which otherwise might be so conspicuously large as to be inconvenient. The judgment declares that the forms of contract which express shippers are compelled to sign are unreasonable and are designed to enable the companies to escape responsibility for shipments lost or damaged, in spite of the fact that their high charges are supposed to provide for this hazard. The form of contract is abolished for through express business, a rate reduced by at least ten per cent Is ordered and local rates are to be reduced accordingly. COUNSEL FOR 0. N. II. E. P. Davis, K. C, Vancouver Leaves C. P. R. Service. At the end of the present year E. P. Davis, K. O, of Vancouver, who for the past 19 years has aocted as chief counsel for the C. P. R., in that city, will sever his connection witli that company to become counsel for the Canadian Northern Railway Company in this province. Mr. Davis has been connected with the C. P. R. as its chief legal adviser in British Columbia since 1892, and during that time has acted for the company with conspicuous success in many important, suits. Some surprise is expressed that he should sever the connection, and it is accepted as proof of the shrewdness of the Canadian Northern that they should have secured his services, as he is generally acknowledged to be a leader of the bar in this province. In addition to Mr. Davis' appointment as counsel, his firm, Duvis, Marshall, Macneill anil Pugii, will after January 1, act as solicitors for the C. N.

Smith, Hilditch and Mclntyre. Suspending Licenses Another section that caused some discussion was one dealing with an inquiry which it was specified should be held into any alleged infraction of the law when the commissioners might for a first offence suspend the license and for a second offence cancel the license. The use of the words "may" or "shall" was discussed and the advisability of incorporating such a clause in view of the fact, as the solicitor said that the commissioners had this power according to the act without incorporating it here. Aid. Smith could not see the ad- PUBLIC MEETING. LONDON, Dec. 21.—Two pieces of ancient tapestry recently discovered at angford Hill, a Jacobean house near Bude, Cornwall, were sold for $33,000. The purchaser was Captain H. Lindsay. The principal piece, measuring 13 feet 4 Inches and 13 feet, 9 Inches, wasl one of a set of panels of fifteenth century Arras tapestry, originally belonging to Cardinal Wolsey and representing t hseeven deadly sins. Three other of the panels are now hanging at Hampton Court Palace. The second piece of tapestry was part of a frieze, 14 feet by 2 feet 4 inches, originally made for Hampton Court Palace. Small pieces of the frieze still hang there in the great hall. The tapestry was found packed away in a box at Langford Hill. The house belong to two maiden ladies, who were unaware that heir roof was harboring such treasures. It was stated in the salesroom yesterday that some years ago the panel, packed in a box and described as a carpet, was sold at auction for £1 10s. * On Tuesday evening William * * Manson will address the elector- * * ate In the Empress theatre on * * municipal affairs, enunciating * his policy.

Lamb, director of the immigration and colonization work of the army from its London headquarters. The colonel was in Ottawa a few days ago in company with Commissioner Coombs and Colonel Mapp. At the capital they waited on Earl Grey, who has ever shown sympathy with Hie endeavors of the Army to the securing of their co-operation in this class of immigration, anil that It was expected that special provision would be made by the steamship officials lor the transference of children, anil for their proper care While on Hip ocean. Children of five to twelve years of age would be brought across said the Colonel, though Ihe Army would concentrate Its energies mainly on the removal of those of seven io nine years. Homes would be secured for them in advance, anil Hie Army officers already had applications from persons who desired to adopt boys and girls. Country homes would be selected, and a constant supervision of these proteges would be maintained by the officers of the Army. The country districts, ho found, were in need of help. As a rule the children of farmers drifted away from home to the cities or to the west at an early ago, and many agriculturists were desirous of adopting children brought over would be care- help as they grew older. All the chldren brought over would he carefully selected, anil those only of the best physique would be chosen. vantage of burdening the bylaw with something that was not necessary. The commissioners bad the power now and why should it be put In? Aid. Pattullo thereupon broke in with the remark that it had been the history of all time that there were those who wanted arbitrary powers and the sooner they burst it the better. Application Forms The section relating to the application for a license was referred to by the solicitor and he made a request that It should be put back to the original form in which he had submitted it, namely, that application "may" be made in the form set forth. At a previous sitting a motion of Aid. Pattullo that had been changed to "shall" as the alderman said it meant nothing the way it stood. The solicitor explained on Tuesday evening that "may" was the safer course to follow. The anti-Oriental clause in the license was not one that could be enforced. Legal difficulties might follow should they enact that an application had to be made in that form. By leaving it "may" the form would be used. Aid. Pattullo moved to alter the wording to the original form "may," which was carried. The committee rose and reported the bylaw complete. Wanted Record Aid. Hildltch then wauled lo have I a record of the opposition to the two j sections. He said that while he was j in favor of the bylaw as a whole he wished to record his vote against the two sections which he felt should not. be there. He voted against the bylaws on that ground. Aid. Naden felt that what Aid. Hilditch asked for—a record of his voted against these two sections In committee of the whole—was contrary to all parliamentary procedure Aid. Smith said that he felt that he would like to protest against these two sections. His worship said he would take the point under advisement. The bylaw passed its third reading. Hilling of .Mayor. Last evening Ills Worship gave a ruling on the point raised by Aid. Hildltch. He said that while the practice in British Columbia seemed to bo against the recording of a vote in committee, yet, he saw no reason why any alderman should not have liis stand on any question recorded on the minutes and he accordingly so ruled.
