day appointing the Trusts and Guaran-
tee Co. of Toronto -=aa: •a committee to
manage the estate. His lawyer explain-
ed that Lindsay, a widower, married an
aged widow about four years ago who
was later forced to abandon him when
he complained that a stange woman was
in his house. He failed to remember
his marriage with the widow and when
his memory got worse in 1917 he appoint -
a son to take care of his property. His
son dies last Jan., but the old man knows
nothing of the event and since that time
has visited his lawyer repeatedly for a
reassurance that he had money available

lawyer's office was. Justice Kelly made
a reference to the local master at

The report of the Department shows
that of 101,599 passenger cars owned
in the Province last year, 64,900r of
them were owned in towns, villages and
townahips, and only 36,699 in the cities.
Of the num t er owned in the cities,- less

create of 25,584 in the number of cars

It is also interesting to note in an
analysis of the occupation of the own

number owned. by any other cease. The
others are owners as follows: iekilled
