This House further

opinion that inerease power

and nobility of the Imperial navy

by the addition by Canada under
the above act of two fleet units
to be stationed on the Atlantic

and Pacitic coasts of Canada, re-

spectively, rather than by a con-

jtribution of money or ships, is a
|}policy best caleulated to afford
relief to the United Kingdom in

respect of the burden of Imperial
naval defence and in the words
of the admiralty memorandum,
to “restore greater freedom to
the movements of the British

squadrons every sea and di-
rectly protect the security of Do-
and that the govern-
ment of Canada should take such
steps as shall lead to the accom-
plishment of this purpose as
speedily as possible.’ ”

Clause A in Premier Borden's
resolution referred to above reads
as follows:

“That from and out of the con-
solidated revenue fund of Canada
there may be paid and applied a
sum not exceeding $35,000,000
for the purpose of immediately

minions,”

increasing the naval forees of the
Empire.”

 

 

 

Although last night's

|afforded a certain amount of am-
to the litthe band of
who turn .up religiously
every Monday night, to listen

, the “pearls of wisdom” that
fall from the lips of our respect-
ed city fathers.

City Clerk Woods read a let-
ter of acknowledgment from the
General Hospital Board, thank-
ing the Couneil for their dona-
tion of $10,000,

Miss Hurst, stenographer
the city clerk, asked for leave of
absence without pay from the
}24st inst to the 31st, which was
| eranted.

The Atlin Construction Com-
pany wrote the company regard-
jing the subjeet of the laying of
jthe water pipes from the main to
jthe Cold Storage plant, according
lito the plan laid out in the letter,
as received by the council
jat its last meeting. They state
that they are agreeable to the
terms agreed upon, and the mat-
ter of the drawing up of the
agreement between the company
and the city was left to the city
solicitor.

of the opening up

was the cause of some heated
passages at arms between the
mayor and Ald. Morrissey. It ap-
/pears that it a question in
which no less than four sets of
interests participate—the pro.

are not in accord with the pro-
posals of the railroad company.

of the Mayor's repeated state-
ments that he was out of order,
the latter finally ignoring him
altogether and requesting the
clerk to proceed with the next
business, even Alderman Morris-
sey’s Irish pertinacity gave way.
Twiee afterward the alder-
man’s fighting spirit flaunted it-
self in an abortive effort to ob-
tain a hearing, but went down to
defeat before the calm, cold, sar-
donie remark of His Worship that
he was out of order.
Chagrined at the unfair treat-
ment that he deemed he was re-
ceiving at the hands of his chief,
the irate alderman at one time

in ringing tones announced that
he was not there to receive chas-
tisement from Mayor Newton or
any other member of the board,
and for a moment it looked as
if there would be something
doing.

The former replied that the al-
derman would obey the mandates
of the chair or he (the latter)
would see to it that he did so.
At this point the dis¢ussion was
dropped, the Council going into
committee of the whole, with Al-
derman Bullock-Webster in the
chair, for the passage of sundry
bylaws that were put through
their final reading.
