(hb) Do you favour a reduction in representations? (e) Bhould the term of tne council he extended from one to two years?" Inequalities Acknowledged Alderman Carnell declared that while the committee acknowledged that there were inequalities in the present division of the wards, it evaded the issue and did not ask the municipal board to investigate the subject of redistribution of wards, This request must he made by July 13 in the year in which it was proposed to have action, and the question should not he defers red any further, he declared, Be sides the three questions outlined in the report, the people should also have an opportunity to vote on the ward system, with one new ward east of Ritson road, said the alderman, General Vote Alderman Macdonald said that it would he very likely that the question of election of aldermen hy general vote would in all probabil. ity he submitted to the people In January, If the electorate decid ed on election of aldermen hy gen~ eral vote, all the work and ex- pense of submitting » proposition to the Nallway Board for an extra ward would be wasted, An ex- DODD'S KIDNEY ~ KIDNEY BAC kac rH!
