Two unlooked for expenditures had
Come uf during the year, one, the op-
ening up of the sewer .on Catherine
St., and the other the purchasing of ,
500 feet of fire hose to replace the reel
of absolutely rotten Bose, but even in
the face of these expenditures he be -i
lieved the council would end the year
with a surplus, as most of the Coin-
mittees had kept under their estimate
He; expressed regrets that the council
lead been unable to get,the, CanadaZ

IN MEMORIAM
1 In loving memory of Lance -Corpor-
al William Percy Moore, who died
for his King and country, Monday,
November 27th., 1916.
He is not dead, but only iieth sleeping
In the sweet refuge of his master's
breast,
And far away from sorrow, toil attd
weeping,
He is not dead but only taking rest,
What though the highest hopes he
clearly cherished,
All faded gently as the setting sun;
What though our own fondexpecte,
• tion perished
Ere yet life's noblest labors seemed
begun.
O glorious end of life's short day of
sadness, : 1
O blessed course so well and not 0
ruti
O home of true and everlasting glad-
Hess,
O' crown unfading and so easily won.
Tho tears will fall, we bless Thee, Ca
our Father,
For the dear one forever with the
blest,
And wait the Easter dawn when thou
shalt gather
Thine own long parted to their end-
less
ndless rest.
Mother and Brother
