Provincial registration of all barbers ind their places of establishment in mario is said to be sought through i bill of which Fred G. McBrisn (Con-- :ervative, Toronto--Brock:on) has given rstice to the Legisiaturs, and which, it is expected, will be introduced to the House at an early date. ' At the present time the legislation is reported to be under consideration of Hon. Dr. J. M. Robb, Minister of Health. The bill, it is said, would pro-- vide for an annual license fee, and for stiff penalties for any contravention of regulations which, it is understood, would later be requested to implement When Horace Colliver, Conservative member for Prince Edward, spoke before the Agriculture Committee nf the Legis-- lature yesterday, he may have cleared up--if quite unconsciously--a mysteri-- ous warehouse explosion which occurred on the outskirts of Paris back in 19183, and which, at that hectic time in the lifte of the French Capital, was attrib-- uted to the "beaucoup bombard" of the Germans' famours 80--mile gun. the legislation. Mr. Colliver, who is an apple--shipper of considerable prominence, as well as a tried and faithful supporter of the Henry Government and of the Ferguson Administration before that, has, during his business career, engaged in the manufacture of high--grade ciders, and in 1918 was "hard put," so to speak to find a home market for the apple concoction he was then turning out. Much of his product had to be treated with a special powerful preservative to maintain its sweetness, and had to be put up in 120--gallon casks for purposes of the long storage which the uncertain markets necessitated.

It did not take him long to root out his oldest cider stock and despatch it to Montreal and a waiting ship. * On the Montreal dock, however--as Mr. Colliver related the incident to the committee yesterday--a number of the containers blew up.

Registration Sought Of Ontario Barbers Considerable discussion arose over a bill introduced by Wilfrid Heighington (Toronto--St. David), at the request of York Township, to enable municipalities adjoining cities to regulate the location of incinerators. Other city members voiced opposition to this on the ground that Toronto was seeking legislation to enable it to buy a site for incinerators outside the city limits Mr. Heighing-- ton explained that the bill would not prevent the city establishing an incin-- erator in another community, but would simply give the township the right to regulate its location. The bill was car-- ried. Another bill, sponsored by Mr. Heighington. was carried, which pro-- vides that after a property is sold, taxes owing, and assumed by the purchaser, shall not disqualify the vendor from election to public office. Several bills affecting Toronto and other municipalities were passed at yes-- terday's sitting of the Committee on Municipal Law. It was announced that bills respectively to abolish and to make optional municipal income taxes, would come un at the meeting of the commit-- tee noxt Wednssday. F. G. McBrien (Toronto--Brockton) was successful with several bil's before the committee. Thess included amendmeonts to increas> the amount of money Toronto can spsnd on entertainment from $20,000 to $30,000 yearly; to permit the city to pay pen-- sions to the dependents of policemen killed in the performance of duty, and to create a new Ward 9. Mr. McBrien's bill to enable cities to reduce the speed limit in parks to a lower rate than fif-- teen miles per hour, was defeated. Pers_ons receivinz old--age pensions inNIAUN AIIEMP!
