The Agricultural Deveiopment Fin-
ance Act empowers the Treasurer of
Ontario to borrow money by meant of
deposits in order to finance either of
the above Acts. This measure, however
does not conte into effect until proclaim
ed by the Lieutenant Governor in Coun
cfi, and if other arrangements are made
for tife money necessary under the pre-
vious,cct it is riot probable that this

The Dairy Standards Act Was amend
ed in two important points among oth-
ers, One amendment provided that the
Act instead of coining into effect at a
date to be fixed by the Lieutenant Gov.-
ernor in 'Council shall conte into effect

empowers the Minister to appoint in-
spectors to carry out the prftvlsions of

when the machinery of the Act is put
into operation.

ered to issue bonds up to'It500,0o0 on
