Reports have been rife during the last week as to the number of patients in the hospital suffering from typhoid, and many hold that there are over twenty in there at the present time.

A commumisation from Chief Bruce was read, asking ifthe city had any crest. If there was not one, the city was of the size and import - ance to adopt one, and get it regis- tered. -He also Suggested that a large copy of the crest should be made and hung outside the door of the City Hall, -before the Duke of Coxnaught s visit.

AGRIC, SOCIETY 1S-1N Ask the Council to Give Them Grant Get 2,500. At the meeting of the City Coun - cil held last night, Mayor Spencer presiding, and others present. were: Aldermen Brown, Doty, Evans, Pratt, and MeClellan. Mr. H: Haz- zard, Secretary of the Agricultural Society wrote: In order to cheapen the Gost OF transportation from the city to the exhibition grounds during Fair rime out Board of Directors respectfully request the City Council allow gers to and from the exhibition grounds, without procuring a license, Provided they charge not more than 25 cents each way. I may say there are sutomobile owners who are willing to do this from a poiat on the hill to tho Fairgrounds gate, The Society anticipate putting up a shed at top of hill as a shelter and resting place for passengers. I wish also to request that your Council will see fit. to let us have the city grant 2500, as the Society are in much need of the money. The Councillors discussed at some length the method adopted last year of. transportation to. the Fair- grounds and did not think it al- together a success. The Mayor said. he noticed ut a- monton-and some other ities that they regulated, the rate sharged by vabs and autompbiles, so there could be no overcharge. Ald. Brown thought as they were considerably interested in tho Fair they should make some amendment in th by-law fixing a rate. The Mayor thought if that done some difficulty might with owners of automobiles. might not run them at all, and that would be worse than. over- charging. They might. appoint a committee to act with the Agricul- tural Society and make arrango- ments with those . running autormo- biles. After farther discussion it was de- cided that provided the Agricultural Society and Finanes Committee could make arrangements with driv- ers of automobiles ard teams, that the license be left in obeyance for that day. Referring to the 2500 grant ask- was arise They that Mr. Hazzard came to and told him that the funds were in bad shape. They had to get 4000. to pay the contracts for buildings. He wanted the Council to make some arrangements, so that they. could get finances on the bonds. He the Mayor) told him it was impossible for the Council to guarantee any amount, but if he applied to the Council for.. 2500 that the Council would stretch a point and give it to them. The grant was made. ATER SYM? ATHIZES WITH MINERS FAMILIES He and His Brother Visited Scene of Recent German Disaster. W. A. PLD.
