GOVERNMENT TO BE. ASKED
(Continued from page 1)
were now off the 'relief list.
Under the heading of unfinished'•
business Councillors Inkley and Liv
ermore introduced a motion that the.
band stand be placed on a permanent
base in the south-west corner of the'
Recreation' Park, which could be done
at an approximate cost of $250. Ir
this connection Mayor Trewarthr
read a litter he had received from the
Postoffice Dept., in answer to one he
had written, at the request of the
band, expressing willingness to allow
a band stand to be erected on the
postoffice point, but suggesting that
the council take action and ,make the
request officially.
Councillor Inkley, speaking to his
'notion, expressed' himself as oppos
ed to having the band eoncerts on the
front streets. -Should a fire occur on
band night he said the likelihood was
that damage to life and limb would
result, as cars endeavored to get out
of the jam. A bandstand in front of
the postaffice building, also, would
detract much from the appearance
of the property. The park was the
logical place for the band concerts
and if the park -was properly im,
proved it would in time begone a
beauty spot in the town. At present
it was but a field .but it could be im
proved with small cost until it would
be a place bo which citizens would be
proud to go and to show visitors.
Councillor Paisley also thought the
park was the proper place for the
bandstand. It would cost a good deal
more to erect one which would be
suitable for the middle of the town,
he said, and if the old one was utilize
ed there would be no place for the
band en special occasions, when
sports are in progress lin the park.
He also stressed the danger of hav-
ing crowds .on the front streets.
Councillor Livermore was also in
favor of the park. He said when the
stand was moved to the park it -was
the fifth time it had been moved, the
suggestion was made that it should
be on wheels. He was in hopes thea
it had reached a permanent place.
Councillor ,Holmes said in his op-
inion there was but one spot for the
band stand and that was the post.
office point. He pooh poohed the ids
ea that the merchants wanted the
band near their places of. business, as
he did as much business when the
concerts were down in the gather end
of the town as when they were near
him; people would go to the place
they wished to shop, he said. But he
thought that the concerts should be
held in the centre of the town. The
element of danger could be eliminate
ed by care in parking, he declared
Councillor Cook agreed with him and
they proposed a resolution that the
Government be asked ter allow the
erection of a bandstand on the point,
Councillor Inkley's motion was put
first but only the mover, seconder ane'
Councillor Paisley supported it. The
last motion was then put, when the
decision was reversed.
Some discussion was indulged in in
regard to drains, etc., and Chairman
Paisley presented the fallowing , fin-
ancial report for the month:

ssurance o ff- SAFETY
The first -requirement of the investor, particularly the
small investor, is assured safety; income yield is of lesser
importance. That is why so many hundreds of thou-
sands of Canadians regardtheir savings deposits in this
bank as the best type of investment. The income may
not be so attractive as the promised yield of certain
securities, but it is sure and steady, while the principal
itself is safe and always'•remains at full face value.

GOVERNMENT TO BE. ASKED
(Continued from page 1)
were now off the 'relief list.
Under the heading of unfinished'•
business Councillors Inkley and Liv
ermore introduced a motion that the.
band stand be placed on a permanent
base in the south-west corner of the'
Recreation' Park, which could be done
at an approximate cost of $250. Ir
this connection Mayor Trewarthr
read a litter he had received from the
Postoffice Dept., in answer to one he
had written, at the request of the
band, expressing willingness to allow
a band stand to be erected on the
postoffice point, but suggesting that
the council take action and ,make the
request officially.
Councillor Inkley, speaking to his
'notion, expressed' himself as oppos
ed to having the band eoncerts on the
front streets. -Should a fire occur on
band night he said the likelihood was
that damage to life and limb would
result, as cars endeavored to get out
of the jam. A bandstand in front of
the postaffice building, also, would
detract much from the appearance
of the property. The park was the
logical place for the band concerts
and if the park -was properly im,
proved it would in time begone a
beauty spot in the town. At present
it was but a field .but it could be im
proved with small cost until it would
be a place bo which citizens would be
proud to go and to show visitors.
Councillor Paisley also thought the
park was the proper place for the
bandstand. It would cost a good deal
more to erect one which would be
suitable for the middle of the town,
he said, and if the old one was utilize
ed there would be no place for the
band en special occasions, when
sports are in progress lin the park.
He also stressed the danger of hav-
ing crowds .on the front streets.
Councillor Livermore was also in
favor of the park. He said when the
stand was moved to the park it -was
the fifth time it had been moved, the
suggestion was made that it should
be on wheels. He was in hopes thea
it had reached a permanent place.
Councillor ,Holmes said in his op-
inion there was but one spot for the
band stand and that was the post.
office point. He pooh poohed the ids
ea that the merchants wanted the
band near their places of. business, as
he did as much business when the
concerts were down in the gather end
of the town as when they were near
him; people would go to the place
they wished to shop, he said. But he
thought that the concerts should be
held in the centre of the town. The
element of danger could be eliminate
ed by care in parking, he declared
Councillor Cook agreed with him and
they proposed a resolution that the
Government be asked ter allow the
erection of a bandstand on the point,
Councillor Inkley's motion was put
first but only the mover, seconder ane'
Councillor Paisley supported it. The
last motion was then put, when the
decision was reversed.
Some discussion was indulged in in
regard to drains, etc., and Chairman
Paisley presented the fallowing , fin-
ancial report for the month:

The first -requirement of the investor, particularly the
small investor, is assured safety; income yield is of lesser
importance. That is why so many hundreds of thou-
sands of Canadians regardtheir savings deposits in this
bank as the best type of investment. The income may
not be so attractive as the promised yield of certain
securities, but it is sure and steady, while the principal
itself is safe and always'•remains at full face value.
