that the surplis land, after being sold by the council, was resold within a few weeks .at ome hundred.percent increase.Further, that it was sold without being aîtvertised and nat by public auction, and that nobody but one man had a ehanos to Buy it.I think that the town has sustained a loss of not less than $100,000.There are, further, some other twenty or twenty-five appropriations where the amounts appropriated were.exceeded, and thig also is the work of the present counil.* Expensive Park Deal wie a LL Mr.Galbraith said the deal had cost the.ratopayers -nearer $150,000.than $10#000.Mr.Murphy protested .that Ald.Sheirard\u2019s name was.not before the meeting, apd pointed out that the em 1 300 arpents, and are situated on :the.given a full and satisfactory explanation of the transaction, end.it had been resolved that in future no sales of public property should be made without being advertised.,k ° When the balloting took place, only one additional name to.thoge sugiest- ed by the committee: of the assopla- tion was put to the vofe\u2014fhat of Ald.J.T.McBride.- Only the members of fhe ation voting, the straight ticket wh sup~ ported, and Ald.nel name failed to replace any of those \u201cthe list, ) The chairman appeated to the mem- inees should be elected.AH communi loyalty of the citizens if\u2019 Westmont: was to remain the model \u2018community place on Jan.0th, b ;

spite of the efforts of Ald, La- | pointe and Martin, the Citizens\u2019 Comi- \u2018mittee scored another point when the clause was passed providing that once the Council has passed a report of the Camtrotlers recommending the undertaking of any public work, the Con- _trollers can go ahead, let the contract, and carry out the work, without submitting the matter to the Council again.The next clause adopted was that providing that reports other than the budget from the Board of Contre! shall be considered as :adopted by Counell unless rejected or amendeq within thirty days.The Board of Control is given full control of all the elvic officials, except the City Comptroller and City Clerk.By a vote of 23 lo 6 the committee adopted the clause laying down the principle that in all cases not spec!- fioally dealt with in the bill, the Con- troflers shall have full administrative jurisdiction and the Council leglsla- tive jurisdiction.The amendments of the Citizens\u2019 Committee as amended by the committee were then adopted.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHESTER YATES BREAKS JAIL.Ossining, N.Y.Dec.18.\u2014Chester { Yates, serving a twenty-one year sentence in Sing Sing prison for the robbery of Aaron Bancroft, an aged New York broker, was missing from his cell this morning when guards made their rounds.The great whistle of the prison was Immediately blown and a search was begun.No trace of the - prisoner had been found up to 10 o'clock, and the prison authorities reluctantly admitted that he had probably escaped, _ ;

Quebec, Dec.18.\u2014 The governments new automobile bill passed its third reading In the Assembly yesterday, but the Hon.P.8.G.Mackenzie withdrew the clause containing the most striking change, namely the raising of the speed limit from 9 to 15 miles an hour in towns and cities and from 15 to 25 miles a» hour in the country.He stated that the government fully recognized that the public must be protected.A.request hed been made for the raising'ôf the speed limit, and he had said that he had no objection to bringing the request before the Legislature.There was a great variety of regulations, he added, in the different states across the border.A number nf states allowed from 10 to 15 miles an hour in towns and cities, and from 20 to 30 miles an hour in the country.New York State had a maximum of 30 miles an hour: Vermont, 10 milés in cities and towns and 25 miles in the country: Kentucky, 10 and 35 milès in towns and cities and 20 miles in country.The Province of Ontario allows 15 miles an hour in towns and cities and 20 miles in the country.Mr.Walker (Huntingdon), was Op- ~nsed to any increase in the legal rate { speed.In his country, he sald, the +1ves and daughters of the farmers, «ho used to drive out through the ~untry or in to town, were afraid to .so since the automabiles begau -to, .se the country roads so much and at ich high speed.Mr.\u201chat, if the speed limit were raised \u2018rom 15 to 25 miles, many motorists «nuld go at a speed of 35 to 20 miles.\u201cTe considered 15 miles an hour quite vfficient especially as the roads were rat very wide and made it necessary \u2018nr vehicles to be careful in passing ane another.The Hon.Mr.Mâckenaie said the amendment in regard to the speed limit ~4d been brought before the House -n Ai-cuss it.Since the bill had been ntroduced, however, he had received numerous letters protesting against an increase in the speed limit, and he -ad also observed In many public murnals articles expressing strong op- prsiton to the change.Under these reumstances, he said, and with the rerneral opinion of the House against ncrearing the speed limit, he accord- nelv withdrew it.Mrs.Armand Lavergne wanted to \u2018rtke out, algo, the clause exempting ificers of the government from the nneration of the Act as far as the speed \u201cmit is concerned.The minister would not agrée to this.tt was necessary, he said, for officers nf the government to chase violators of aw respecting automobiles, and it was 1isn necessary for officers of the At- \u2018arnev General's Department to pursue at great speed fugitives from justice.Mr.Lavergne's motion was lost.The clause to prohibit the use of \u201cead-lights in the business sections of towns and cities unless they were low- sred 80 as not to blind other drivers nr pedestrians, was struck out.Clause 9 of the bill to do with \u2018curves\u2019 and \u2018turns.\u2019 After a good deal of \u2018alk these words were added to the wnrd \u2018angle\u2019 in the present act, as the Judze at Sherbrooke had held that an angle\u2019 was not a turn or curve.Mr.Labissonniere (Champlain) mov- #1 an amendment which would, have made the owner or driver of anfauto, in case of an accident, net only bear the onus of showing that they were not responsible for the accident, but make them actually responsible for the accident.This is the law at the present time.The ameéndment, how- aver, was defeated ou a vote of 48 | 15, and a motion for & six months\u2019 hoist, by Mr.Jean Prevost, was defeated by a vote of 47 to 15.During the debate the Premier explained the present Act and the amendments contained in the bill before the House.He said the intention of the zovernment was to protect the interests of the public as far as necessary.FOR FIRE PROTECTION.The Government Bill for the pre- ention of fires, Introduced by the Hon.Mr.Tæschereau, third time, after an amendment was carried which removes the compul- \u201cnn on cities, towns and villages to provide fire-fighting apparatus satis- Walker feared wp wag read à.factory to the Fire Commissioners The efforts of the.Government Pi therefore be confined to encouraging and assisting the \u201cmunicipalities to Provide fire-fighting facilities, and prevent fires as far as \u201cpossible, In the Railway Committee yesterday the put to incorporate the Farm- erurban El das uésreran ectric Railway Ce, POLYTECHNIC Lo SCHOOL BILL.°°.7 \u20ac The Legislation ¢ommittee adopted the bill regarding \u2018the Polytechnic Bchool of Montreal, aftér amending it so ihat the -board.of examiners for architécts shall consist of two pro-, fessore of the Polytechnic School and two members of the Association af Architects.: An Order-in-Council Nag been passed creating a section of the National Laurentides Park as a spe- ctal permanent reserve for the protéé-\u2018 tion and breeding of fish and game.A -deputation from .Rimouski -ac- companied representatives.of the Canada and Gulf Terminal Rallway;

but John sat almost silent, and, in spite of their liveliness, the others eyed him a little anxiously now and then, knowing that he had been living on excitement .through a physicai- ly exhausting day, and\u2018 they were fearful lest his nerves react and bring him to Ÿ breakdown.But the healthy fiush of his cheek was re- R&Surin&; he -iooked steady and strong, ang they were pleased to believe.that the stirring up was what he needed.It had been a strange and beautiful day to him, begun in anger, but the sun was not to go down upon his wrath;

Mr.Wilson added, \u2018in which I have éndeavbred to speak of things, not of persons, but you speak of persons by implication when you speak of things and the plainer you make the irmpii- cation the more effective ysu make of trouble in the future \u2018s tr see trat your name is connected vith the riglit thing.I say this not as a threat hut to convey this intimation that mer and put their names down.I think so sobp as men see this is business.not amusement, an enthusiasm will artae by which ft will be rsvealéi that honor and Integrity of purpose breed more prosperity than any other *nings in the world.God knows the poor suf- \u2018ferer enough.A man would hesitate to take a single step that would involve any further suffering.Wa must move to the emancipation\u2019 nf the ponr.\u2018The task ahead of.me 8 far as it is making appointments to office \u2018in it 1s leadership of the I nitel States is full of everything that ts right and touched with conflde : \u2018e° because I know that all you have to do ls\u2019 to appeal to the people of the United \u2018| States on the right srouad and put | those who are wrong out of business.\u2019 .: Negr\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 # \\ 5 MORE OUTRAGES - BY SUFFRAGETTES London, Dec.18.\u2014There were numerous pillar postal box outrages again ast night, mainly in the southeastern part of London.Three women were arrested.«There were similar out-rages Twelve men who were in the boiler at Tupbridge Wells and Edinburgh.À young woman was also arrested here -for breaking the fire box at Covent \u2018Garden and sending in a feise alarm.[| \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014i\u2014\u2014 * WHOLESALE GROCERS\u2019 GUILD.At a recent meeting of the Montreal.Wholesale Grocers\u2019 Gulld of the 1 Board of Trade, Mr.Zepherin Hebert, 3 The other: offices were .filled as follows: vice-president, N.Gendreau;
