At the Town Council session, the matter of the town ' securing the Gananoque driving park was brought up by Mayor Gibson, who was one of the parties who had been looking after .the property, lest it might fall into other hands. The matter was very favorably received, and it will doubtless be taken by the council and paid for out of the proceeds of their annual Dominion Day celebra~ tions, y Cd (08 Anniversary Services ui. uc congregation of St. Andrew's church will be held on Sunday, May 10th. tev. 8.

It was ap- ~proaching the time for the supper recess, and the members seemed in- clined to take the temperance ques- tion less seriously than usual. Wil- liam McDonald (Centre Bruce) urged the provincial secretary to bring in amendment giving country-wide ap- plication to the local option law. The present weakness of this law was its teritorial limitations. He also want- ed the three-fifths elause abolished. Mr. Rowell declared that the gov- ernment's proposals were disappoint: ing. They had hoped for a larger measure of reform. He assumed that the government had received many requests asking for a shorten- ing of the hours of sale from peopl: who believed in the license system as the best means of promoting tem- perance. The opposition would glad- ly support any move in that diree- tion. The only change made in the bill was an amendment introduced by Albert Grigg (Algoma). requiring that all bottled goods sold by um- licenses persons would have to be labelled that they contained less than 21 per cent. of proof spirit, other- wise they would be liable to the us- ual penalties under the eect.
