HIM IM MAKE MANY HOMES HAPPY. The Citizens Are Urged to Help Make a Fund That Will Bring Cheer and Giladness to Every Destitate Home. The Whig had really no idea of the contract - it . undertook, in conjunction with the Standard, to see that Santa " {Clans was so aided and informed that no home in this city would be missed by him, It was islormed from one source that there was really very little need of the fund, that the exist- ipg agencies were numerous enough to inept every 'contingency and that there was no Hebessity for adding to the machinery. Well, it odeurred lo the writer that local eomditions could pot be so un- like conditions im other places, and the prosd eldewhere had found cases that but' for. the newspaper fund would bg very distressing. An experince of nearly: taventy years with Joeal eondi- tions "Kad Lawght ite own lessons. So the fund grew and with it the infor- mation that has demonstrated the im- portance and timeliness of the 'move ment. The first report, based on facts, a personal knowledge of the circumstan- ces, intimated that there were at Jeast a hundred children who should Ie remembered by Santa Claus . and who, but for this special fund, would be made to feel the cheerlessness of an empty stocking. he énquiries went on, as the letters game to hand, and the number of de- serving chiidren increased to 150, then 195, then 200, and (on Saturday night), to 325. The names and ad- dresses are with the general agent of the Associated Uharitees, The meaning of all this is ent. Have you subscrived, reader ? 'There is time yet, but only time, and you eannot give to any: thing which appeals so much to your generosity and kindness, Miss Sara Gill, principal of Syden- ham school, in enclosing 57 to the fund, says: "she children gave will ingly of their own pocket monoy.

The committee met on ternoon, when a report was presented by a sub-committee, consisting of asyor Grabam and Alds, Fair and Shaw. The ory said "Realizing the importance of abbre- viated methods, having in view the reduction of "aber, snd if possible, the curtailing of expenditure, your committee very closely examined the svstem adopted by each department, giving special attention to the system of original entries and registration, going thoroughly ower their books accounts, ote, and found that the method under. report sof Ape 'dla, 1904, and continued with few changes, commends itself as a system well adapted for a musieipality desirous retaiping departments separate and distinct from each other, affording, as it does, opportunity for the ofticials to prepare wigh despatch any state ment required by the city. The committee stated that the total revenue collected in taxes and water and light rates in 1910, was $342,. 106.81; and total expenditure, $317, 915.27. The expense in connection with the handling the funds and keeping the accounts of these depart- ments is less than ome per cent. The officials of the treasury department handle debentures amounting to #i,- 224,564.16, on which half yearly divi- dends have to be paid, and the cou pons properly filed, and as these divi dends range from ten dollars up- wards it is readily seen the amount of work this entails upon the officers. Owing to complexity in details, separ- ate accounts must be furnished water and light consumers, "The report of the committee con- cludes as follows : "We congratulate the city upon the very efficient staff of officers in charge of the difjerent departments of this work, composed of only five men and one stenographer; also upon the small outlay in econneetion therewith, and would give it as our opinion that nd more efficient painstaking staff of officials could be procured." The mayor's suggesiion of one cash book for the treasury department was shown to Wg unworkable. Such a book would be #o large that it could hard- fy be-handled, and, further, it would be very unsatisfactory. Civic Utilities Committee. The conwmittee also concluded are rangements for the mmalgamating of the light and water committees, which the city council endorsed last month. Ald. Elliott brought up the matter, as it is desirous of arranging for the appointment of a new committes be fore the present council completes ita work for the year, The following was the resolution moved by Ald. Elliott, and adopted : That the committees on light, heat and power, and on waterworks, be amalgamated into a committee-go be known as the committee om civie Wili- ties, with ©. C. Folger as superinten- dent, at a salary - of $2,000 a year; that this committee recom: to council that the work on the public streets be performed by the city em gineer's department, which shall bé held responsible for the condition of the said streets; also setting out the prices at which the work ghall be paid for; this to be embodied into an agreement beiween the engineer's de partment and the civic utilities com- mittee; also that a competent mo- chanical engineer be placed in charge of all machinery coftrolled and oper: ated by the light and water depart ments, . 1 SENT IN FALSE ALARM. ¥iremen Were Given a Ran Tate Saturday Night.
