The 'council urianbnously coincided.

Mr. A. J. ,Holloway, ono 'of the
local coal .merchants, asked for a re-
duction in weigh scale charges and
after considerable discussion, in which
one member claimed that if we cut
here there. •will have to be reductions
elsewhere and that as a matter of
fact it costs more to weigh than
years ago, it was decided that the
fee fora too an f coal d less o • 1 wi '1

be half a dime,
The oigaretto bylaw first passed in
1910 iuiposed a fee of fifteen dollars
and it stood unamended until a few
weeks ago when the fee was raised
to sixty dollars and even at the
greatly advanced rate two licenses
were taken out.
Councillor Ford, chairman of the
street conuuittce, said : We had a
general clean-up on Friday last and
I believe made a pretty good job of
it, but I must sap that .the biggest
half of the expense was borne by the
Horticultural Society. We purpose
using the Drag on Rat•tenbury
and Mar}, streets and if it works as
claimed for it we will put it en oth-
er streets as well. -While my re-
port recommends the use of tarvia on

very evident its was SO lttneh water-

dition and .I would suggest that we
write or send personally for infor,n-
ation and that we Burry up for the
season is advancing,
Councillor Paisley : As the. cost
for the first season's use of tarvia
will be about 1500 I think we should
make use of tits experience of others.
Councillor Wiltse What about the
wearing qualities " of a roadbed tar-
via treated ? I' certainly would ob-
ject to going ahead with it without
the fullest iiiorntation. Further-
more, to every season's ekpenditure
