Mayor Castilian Hondo ciSollontreal,
Mayor G. G. McOeer of Vancouver and
Mayor James 8lmpeon of Toronto, the
mayors declared that tbe municipall-
tem across the Dominion, owing to the
relief load, face default on their debt
obligation. They asked that the
'astral Government assume the relief
costa, assisted by the Provinces. If
relief were cut down, It would be prac-
tically Impossible to 'maintain peace,
order and good government in their
respective cities, they solemnly de -
dared. Bir George pointed dui that
Ube taxes, however collected, must
come from the same ten million
people, but be neglected the two im-
portant factors, that the Dom'nlon's
credit is much greater than that of the
Provinces or of the municipallttes and
that the Dominion alone has the pow-
es- to
ow-es:..to issue new money. There is to
be a Dominion -Provincial conference
en relief matters later thIg:-montff,
probably when Parliament is taking
recess, but It would appear that the
municipalities will have to be reneged
of practically all their share of the
relief load.

word of God among those people, and
Dr. and Mrs. Oolortb, after their ar-
rival In Canada, received • letter from
Paul Davis stating his intention to
become ■ miadonary.
The text which Dr. Goforth chose
for his address was from Paul's
epistle to the Romans, 10:13-15, and
the words gained a new significance
