Oh, if papa would let them live on the Napa ranch! He paid a man feed the stock, and Cassy and Dan would go for nothing, and save him that, and make money for him, too, This evening, that she had so dreaded, passed in a golden dream for her and Dan, "Of course an old ranch in Napa mightn't be your idea jhe meal she had just PASSION FLOWER & Kaigw Nori the task of rearing a dozen babies Dan {dled about the house happily for a few days, helping Cass Mendousty, and fralcog her wish that they thrée might be left alone for. ever, with nt enough money for the inexorable butcher and grocer, On the fourth day Dan went down: tows to seq about & Job and, .s Gran. ny Choate providentially turned up a few minutes later, Cassy determine ed to leave Tommy, go 0 to see her father, and put the question of the Naps ranch to the test immedi. tre- ately, Granny was a bowed, emaciated, weak-witted old woman who had ap- peared at Cassy's kitchen door some months earlier, weak with hunger and cold, With a natural quick impulse of, charity, the | oung woman had in. stantly placed before her old guest prepared for Granny came ersell, Alter that about twice a week, and Campy fed or, She suspected that the woman had run away from some poorhouse ; any- way, she was a friendly old thing and appeared to know a good dea about bables, Tommy loved her in stantly, and Cassy felt no hesitation in leaving him with her for short in- tervals, Cassy dressed herself care- fully, trembling a little with exgte: ment and fear and hope, kissed the haby goodbye, and started for the down-town car with one desperate prayer moving her thru the afternoon quiet of the winter street, like & fige ure in a dream. At half-past five, when Dan came home, she. was back in the kitchen, back" In _her old blug dress, frying chops, Granny was gone, and Tom- my, on his back, In his erib, was watching the world of the kitchen thru its bars, "1 moved his erib out hers.

The Queen Is attired in a long coat of light material trim. med with fur in the fashion she so much favors, Her mauve tinted to. que and parasol have coma to be inseperately linked with her, total trade with Europe and. the rést of the North American contin- ont was 90.7 per cent, of our total trade, leaving 9.3 per cent, for the rest of the world, But In 1029 this percentage for tHe rest of the world had increased to 13,1 per cent, of our total trade, Although this change is but 3.8 per cent, of our total trade, it represented in 1929 a total monet. ary value of approximately $100, 000,000. At the sage time It 1s well to bear in min® that the ag- gregate Increase in our total trade was well on 'te 20 per cent between 10256 and 1929. Another series of calculations, all of which are based on official data issued by. the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Mhows that while our imports from other parts of the British Empire and United States have remained about in the same proportion from 1886 to 1029 thére has been a notable expansion beyond those units in our export trade. Thus in 1886, 12.2 per cent, of our total imports were {rom other paris of 'the world than the Brit- ish Empire and the United States, and In 1029 this proportion stood at 11.1 per cent, ~~roughly the same, But there is a different tale to tell in connection with our exports, In 1886 only 4.5 per cent. of our exports went to other parts of the world than the Empire and United States; while in 1029 other parts of the world than the Empire and United States bought 24 per cent, our exports, It will thus be seen, although the periods are not the same, that whether we group the rest of the North America with all of Europe, or the United States with the rest of the British Empire, Canada iv expanding her trade, chiefly in the direction of obtaining new buyers for exportable surpluses in our various lines of production. In other words, more and more customers througout the world are coming to Canada for supplies, which in turn means that no mat- ter what the economic future of olf best customers may be, we have already a greater guarantes of foreign markets in the increasing buying-interest of other parts of the world, Export Ratio High. These facts are placed in sharper focus by the following consider~ ations. It 1s estmatéd that between 12 and 15 pbr cent. of total pro- exported, Canada, however, has & much larger proportion of export. able goods. In 1020 we exported 28.6 por cent. of our total produc tion, that revénue from which 1s popularly sccounted to be "new wealth," It Is also interesting to note that between 1927 and 1020 our total foreign trade increased by 15,1 per cent, while the increase in 1929 over 1928 was 12.6 per cent. There is an interesting comment too, on our agricultural industry in the following facts: In 1029 we ex ported about 70 per cent, of our wheat production, only 8 per cent. of our buter production and. 79.4 per cent, of our cheese, We also ex~ ported as cordwood about one- quarter of our pulpwood produce Wines.

In 1028, #500 was spent on plans for a municipal building. In 1020, another $2,600 was spent on plans.

A brief summary of the points presented by each of the six speak. ord follows; Mayor Mitchell The oity of Oshawa is in a de plorable condition as regards its municipal buildings. This is In part due to.the faot that in the past we have cgnoentrated on the bulld. ing of pevhools, and tahe laying of pavement, Our school system now represents a two million dollar in. vestment, while our area of paved streets probably exceeds that of any oity of the same size in the pro- vince, We have lald down on pubs lie buildings, because so much mon. oy has been spent In other ways, I know of no Ontario city of thi sine without a olty hall; certainly no oity in the province of compare able aire is without a better police tation. The ¢ity is passing through a fod' of unemploxment, Already his year $567,000 has been spent in sewer construction primarily to pro« vide relief employment, I feel that wé night as well spend thix money In somé constructive work, every dollar spent ob the municipal builds 'should be apent, it possible, in Othawa, : rthermore, construction costa are cheaper now than they will be when greater prosperity retuins, The only alternative relief work in the sewage disposal plant, which would invol rs 0,000 and a years Iy cost ot 0, : BR Boddy The Councll do not propose that the tax rate will be raised by the construction of new police and ad. ministration buildings, The estim: ated onal debentures le. to 08 Drogessd $10 tional heat and will run this up to 3 A The Med tsument of he ity for next year In $400,000, which will absorb $10,000 of that $11,080, at mill vite. 1 believe we ie present ® AR put up the bulldings, without 2. There are 400 unemployed in this city ready and willing to take work of any kind if they can get it, Oshawa should have a municipal building fit for her needs, with a city manager to supervise all the eity offices, The Publie Utilities Commission have announced that they. must have a new building by January Slat, 1031, Alderman McDonald The Public Utilities Commission have offered to put up a building, and provide apace in it for the city ofces, 1 hellove this offer should have been accepted, The people of this city cannot afford inoreased taxation, [I ven ture to assert that the administra. tion building, the police building, and the new subway, would togeth- or add two mills to the tax rate, Taxes are coming in more slow. Iy than they have for the past four yoars, and we will have graater ar. rears of taxes thin year than we have md in the past. I admit the necessity for the new bullding, but at the same time, before you oan buy something, you have to have the money to buy it with, Alderman Salley I am interested in Keeping the tax rate down, At the same-time, we have to do something to relieve the unemployment sityation, or by the fall we will be establishing free soup kitchens. I know of families who do not know today where their next meal ia coming from, I would estimate, from reliable figures, that 50 percent of the mon. oy appropriated for the municipal buildings would be spent on labour, and 30 percent on common or unskilled labour, Alderman Jacks son's estimate notwithstanding, that $40,000 for relief work might Just as well ba employed In civic bulldinges which we need, as In pewer digging. A brief period was allowed each alderman for refutation and ques. tions ,and the debate was wound up by His Worship the Moyor. In his concluding remarks, Mayor Mitehell pointed out that the coun« oil have gone thoroughly into tne question before presenting it to the Deopla ang hat all hut hwo of fhe 8 ormAn Jackson an MoDonald, have indicated their ap. proval of it. He called attention to the fact that construction ; wou ve employment to have kifisd d bor, as well an , An many ecarponts ors and bricklayers are now walks ing the atrests looking for & job.
