MEETING OF TOWN COTJNCIL.
At Monday night's meeting, of the
town council Bakers Bartliff and. King
asked that a, bylaw be passed mak-
ing 14 and .3 pounds the legal wei-
ght of loaves instead of 2 and 4
pounds as at present. This was gran
ted so that the old four pound loaf
is a thing of the past. Nothing was
said before the ,council about the pri-
•ee. 'felling in keeping with 'the wei-
ght, though most housekeepers would
consider that quite an important
matter. '
Mr, D. A. Forrester, representing
the Collegiate Institute board, ad-
dreseed the council to request that
$1500 be provided for improvements
to 'the school building. • He • said, in
part.. You do the collecting, . we do
the . speeding, We are not asking for
Money, hut merely notifying you that
oertain imptoyementa must be made
and thatit is up to the council to
provide the funds. The board has •the

the inspector says it is wretched,

Mr. W. Brydone, who has always

library and has given Much' of hie
time: to advancing its interests, ad-
dnessed the council, He said : When
in 1899 we asked that the public
library be made a free library the
circulation of books was 3000, last
year it was 13,595. Under the old
regierne .we had 17.0 reading members,
whereas we how have 640. We ate
conducting the institution as cheap-
." 17 as possible ; we pay small salaries
and have luxuries. In '99 the Go-
vernment greet was $250, but for
some reason, perhaps owing to a
great increase in the nureber, of lib-
raries, we last year received only
$150 which has left us with no' • im-
mediate funds. • In consequence • I

facts and vote for the bylaw ;

(b) We give the town ample

It • is understood that the license
act will be mado more stringent and
that it will be entoiced without fo.ir
or favor. Among the amendtnents to
be made this session is one providing
for the total exclusion! of snarlers,
from bar -rooms. The present law
permits children to secure liquor up-
on Presentation of an. Order from e
parent, guardian or master, but it is
felt that this is almeet as dangerous
as .allowing a child to got for
himaelf, and aceordingly the act will
be altered. If the Temperance people
•will take cognizance of these facts
and assist the officers in a fair en-
• forcement of the law, It is bclleved
that they must arrive at the con -
elusion that there is some good in a
liquor license not.
