On a slightly raised platform is the mayoral chair and slightly lower on the right the desk of the city engineer and on the left that of the city solicitor. The new ar- rangement, with the comfortable swinging chairs for the aldermen, has a businesslike and dignified effect. One suggestion may be made in the line of a possible im- provement: that the city engineer be instructed to wrestle with the | problem of the chamber’s acous- | ties.

The com- munication set forth that the initial expenses would be heavy and they would suggest that such improvements justified a redue- tion of rental. In reply to Alderman Kerr, the mayor stated that the land in question was on the southwest corner of the armory site, and that the council were unable to consider the application until a cedence of the land had been ob- tained from the Grand Trunk Pacific. On the motion of Alderman Naden the time for completing the assessment roll was extended from April 7th to April 14th. Bylaws referring to public health, defining the duties of municipal auditor, revision of improvement bylaws, indemnity of mayor and aldermen, etc., were read a first time, amd tenders were opened for the printing of the building bylaw and referred to the finance committee.
