dissatisfaction.At least three important resignations are practice.y definite, those of Mr.E.C.Catien, secretary-treasurer; Mr.J.T.Martel, superintendent of roads, and Mr.Leopold Fortier, assistant to Mr.W.L.McSwiggan.Mr.B.A.Dugal, chief accountant, has accepted conditions at least temporarily.His Worship Mayor William Brault is accordingly in receipt of a letter from Mr.E.C.Catien, secretary-treasurer for many years past, in which he observes that he refuses to carry on the duties of secretary-treasurer of the city of Sherbrooke at the reduced salary.No specific date of resignation has, however, been mentioned.Mr.J.T.Martel, superintendent of roads, has officially handed in HON.JAMES LYONS, Minister of Lands and Forests, who has announced plans for a great aircraft
