He submitted the following mo- tion which was seconded by Coun- cillor James, y "That this ' council wedopt a system of receiving. tax payments to be made in two installments and that a committee be appointed to work out the details, the commit- tee to be composed of the Fivunce committee, Couneilior Corbett and the clerk, Councillor Rehder however thought that this question should be submitted to the people at the annual municipal elecion, and he foved an amendment to this ef- ect. Reeve Thickson said he thought that the council was quite able to act on the question as it was ap- pointed . to represent the people, and Councillor Corbett quickly backed him. Councillor Rehder then made. a motion which was second- ed by Councillor Edger, that the council appoint a committee to prepare a report on the collection of taxes twice a year .and that this be placed before the people in January. More discussion fol- lowed. Reeve Thickson said he be- lieved that this shoyld be changed, and an amendment was made to the effect that the council appoint a committee of farmers, labourers, industries and the council to in- vestigate a report on the paying of y | taxes twice yearly. The vote on this was tied and in order to carry the mayor had to cast the deciding vote, Propose Police Signal Another {important y il was also discussed. It was concerning the placing of a bell connected with the police department tele- phone and placed at the corner of Temperance and King streets to let the constables, when not in the station, know when the telephone was ringing. The necessity of this was pointed out by the fact that last week shortly after the robbery in the south ward the residents could not get in touch with any- body at the police station, This bell, it was claimed would remove this difficulty, It was moved by' Deputy Reeve Carruthers and sec- onded by Councillor James that this be placed in the hands of the police committee with power to act, Several other items of business were brought forward and discus- sed but nothing done. These con- cerned the payment of a bill at Oshawa hospital for a local resi- dent, the hydro question, and a complaint of the rain water flow- ing over the lawn of Mr. Alexau- der, These items will be given more attention sometimes in the near future, the latter one im- mediately, Miss Jean Clark, Correspondent Telephone 800 DR.

PHOTOGRAPH RUINS FROM AEROPLANE Santa Fe, N. M., Aug. 7--Indian ruins that were old before Cortez and his armored band made their way into the southwest, have been photo- graphed from the air with an ultra modern aerial camera by Colonel Charles A.' Lindbergh. Colonel Lindbergh brought. the films here and they were developed in the laboratory of the American School of Research.

Hewett of the Board o Research the first successful ap- plication of aerial photography to archaeological purposes. Photographs of entire districts from the air, taking a few hours, re- vealed all the information which could be gained by weeks or months, of travel over the same districts, on horseback or on foot. In addition, the aerial photographs reveal traces of ruins which might easily be pass- ed over by a trained'archacologist on the ground. Students of the University of New Mexico, under the guidance of Dr. Hewett, have uncovered a three story stone tower, with underground pass- ages and a huge kiva, an under- ground 'ceremonial chamber said to be the largest ever discovered in this state, at Chetro Ketl, on the Navajo Indian reservation in Chaco Canyon.
