AST MEETING OF TOWN COUNCIL WILL BE HELD TONIGHT Large Deficit Is Expected to be Noted When Depart- ments Have Annual Reports Tonight the final meeting of the 1930 town council will be held in the council chamber and the busi- ness of the year will be brought to a close, There is little doubt that the meeting will be the means of 'bringing to the public knowledge .some facts that will prove a little disconcerting, Citizens will not be the least surprised if a big deficit is noted and it will be for them to decide in the municipal elec tions in the near future whether or not this deficit was avoidable, To the minds of those who have been in close touch with municipal affairs during the past twelve months the council was faced with a prodigous task, Throughout the summer, usual- ly a time when it is hard to find sufficient labor without bringing in outside men, it was noted that local men were out of work, So serious did the situation become that Councillor Lockhart wanted a list of all unemployed compiled. This showed that there were sixty men out of work, and since that time; just two months ago, this number has increased nearly a hundred per cent. Thus the hand of the council has been forced in expenditures to meet an unusual situation. They started out on a year of retrenchment and finished up by going through with a num- ber of works which would likely have never been thought of had it not been for the depression, So it is that should a large deficit be noted in the council to- night citizens should realize that this deficit was almost impossible to avoid. Had the money not been spent in relief works which will be of future benefit to the town the town would have been faced with the necessity of feeding a hundred families this winter with- out hope of ever getting any tan- gible returns for their expense. Citizens should however be present at this meeting and hear the reas- ons at first hand for themselves.

It Is hoped that they are supported by a much larger crowd than they were in their first game, Tom Spencer will likely be handling a stick tonight but Johnny James has an- nounced that he is out for the whole season.

They did not however expect their kindness to be taken advantage of, It has been found that transients would call at the home of Dr. Best and secure a ticket, another at the home of Rev. Mr, Robbins and an- other at the home of the Rev, Mr. Spencer and finish up by getting another from the Chiet of Police. However their little game was nip- ped in the bud and in future all tickets will be handed out from the police station and there will be no duplication, Mrs. Margaret J, Elliott London, Ont., Dec, 15.--The death occurred yesterday at the family residence of Mrs, Margaret J.

WHITBY DAILY TIMES TRANSIENTS ARE INCREASING AT THE LOCAL LOCKUP 15 Guests of Town Sunday Night Find Good Quar- ters Here Fifteen men, of all sizes and ages, sought the town of Whitby's hospi- pity in the local lockup Sunday n.ght. They came from every part of the country, and were glad of the shelter afforded them. When they saw the cots provided for them in- stead of the hard, cellar floor they compared local conditions with those anywhere. they would not be allowed to leave the town hungry they smiled. One man, who has been on the road for some time, told of conditions in Sudbury where he said hundreds of men, mostly all of foreign birth, are herded together in the police cells, The city has opened the old fire hall and is sheltering some of them there. There is work for skill- ed labor in the nickel city, they said, but not for laborers. The mines are running at only half capacity Sim ilar conditions prevail at North Bay, The north country towns are feeding the transients, they said. Plans for taking care of Whithy's winter transient visitors are matur- ing. A number of citizens have don- ated cots, most of the men are now being ted and the matter will be dis- cussed by the Town Council this ev- ening when a communication the Chamber of Commerce is read asking that food and cots be provid ed. Whitby is being commended in out side places for its humanitarian spir it shown towards men who are work- less and homeless this winter. 3 Outstanding Values Tuesday On Sale All Day Fancy Aprons Made from the fine est Peter Prints, styles from and a host of pretty meat print patterns in dark or light shades, Tuese day's selling. 49c Pan Several choose ity, fect. ing, pair, to Mens Bi-tex Silk Socks 39¢ pr Pure Silk Socks for men with the under. hose attached.
