The 8th C.M.R. is un-| | doubtedly one of the best trained | | cavalry units in the country, and if | | the opportunity .occurred would do | splendid work at that kind of work. | As infantry, the work would be quite {different. | The men of the 8th C.M.R. and | | 7th Artillery Brigade paraded on | | Tuesday for the selection of the men | | for the draft which leaves in a few | { days. The officers in both cases ask-| |ed for volunteers to step forward. | Every man immediately stepped for- ward. The officers then realized {that to choose the men to be sent {would be a difficult task indeed. In | several cases the choice would be be- | |tween two men and lots would be drawn.

O'Connor took exception to} this, after reading from a document | wherein it was stated by Mr. Stuart | at Ottawa that roadways so treated | * would not withstand heavy traffic. | Ald. O'Connor raised the objection of | laying out' money that would only be | wasted. | Ald. O'Connor finally asked the | Engineer if lie would recommend | tarvia for Brock street. The latter | replied that he would not. Ald. Nickle and the Engineer had a lively argument, the former up- holding the good qualities of tarvia, and favoring the treatment of Brock street roadway as recommended to the City Council recently.
