If 34 of the votes against the by-law had of switched or had the by-law got 98 more votes, it would have carried. The result brought to'a close one of the hottest and hardest waged contests In the hist ry of the city. All the other by-laws including the Anslpy Spur carried by good major- itles, The result of the vote was not known till about 7-30 o'clock, ward 2 being the last to come in, and up to, that time the result of the voting or the fate of the bylaw was still in doubt, That a deep interest was tak- en in the by-laws is shown by the record vote that was polled and the crowds that flocked around the News and the polling booths, awaiting the result of the vote. Wards 3 and 4, voted on at the court house were the first ready and ward one quickly followed. Ward two, however, was a great deal larger and many anxious ones deeply inter ested in the results of the vote flock- ed around the door of the booth, en- deavoring to find out just how the appointment to many, when the re- sult Was made known, some admitted it, others didn t, Outstanding features of yesterday's voting were the big vote polled, the campaign waged by the two factions to get out the voters, and the large number of women who turned out. Between 715 and 735 votes were polled, probably the largest on any bylawe in the history of the city. Those opposing and those in favor of the by-law. were out in full strength, practically every auto in the city was going all day, carrying-vot- era.to the polls. The women turned out strong and while there are many on the voters list who did not vote ,the number that did is the greatest in the city s his- tory. Those-of the fair sex who fail- ed to vote did not do-so because they did not have the opportunity.

On the south side, facing Buckinghain Palace; there will be a bronze statue of King Edward, a lit- Ye over 10 feet high.

He BO TOWARDS NAVY Question Which is Causing Great Deal of Interost on Account of Borden and Hazen s Proposed Visit. ADITRALTY WILL PLACE ALL PAGS BEFORE THEM Will Make Ro Suggestions, However Imperialists Have, He Plans for er, Outlined lonies. (W. AP. Cable) London, April 18 The question of Imperial defence Bas been much to the fore of late, afd the question of what the colonies will do Great Britain to Maintain her naval supremacy has received its share of attention. Borden, Prime Minister, and John D. Hazen, the Minister of Marine of Can- ada, are to pay to London in May has heightened the Int rest in the mat- ter, particularly as to what Canada s contribution s to be under her new administration. The admiralty will not Jnitiate any proposals ,the policy of the govern- ment. being that the Dominions must hake up their mind as to what they desire and are able to do. They will, however, be given uidance, and the accumulation which England hag gathered will be placed at thefr disposal. Winston Spencer Churchill, to help The visit which Robert L. of faval knowledge First tralla, New Zealand and Canada prac gt; contended that the Dominions should each have a fleet. Australia and Canada should each have four Dread- nought cruisers; South Africa, two to four; New Zealand, two; and the crown coloni s one at least. These fleet units should be part of the Brit- ish fleet. Doubtless England would like to 46 this addition to her fleet, but the ma- ity.-here. would be-satiefi d i-the- Dominions would in time relieve the mother country of the necessity of protecting outlying parts of the Em- pire, and enable her to keep her fleet for home defence, This is what Aus- tically agreed to at the Imperial, De- fence Conference. Canada s new pro- gramme is expected to go further in this direction than did that lald down by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. In this matter of imperial defence, too, a good deal of attention is being devoted to the oil resources of the Colonies. It is said that the British navy has made greater advance in the use of oil fuel than has the navy of any other country, and in a few years immense supplies will be re- quired. As,it does not-wish to be de- pendent upbn forelen countries for this supply, the British government has had inquiries made in all the Col- onies, not only in regard to fuel oil, but also as to possible supplies of petrol for submarines, aeroplanes and the new internal combustion engines which some believe will- soon be in- stalled In smaller vessels of the fleet. An expert who visited all theColonies has stated that Canada and New Zea- land will be able to supply their own navies, with ofl fuel, and that in Aus- tralia, Somaliland, Egypt. and the Soudan the output is increasing. It has been suggested that instead of breaking ap or selling obsolete London County Council, has been ac- quired for the purpose, and the Port of London authority has given a small plot of land adjoining to enlarge the new breathing place .
