SEPTEMRVR 15, 1915. THE COUNTY COUNSIL CONSIDERING GRANT IT SHOUL D MAKE Various Suggestions Made--Coun- cillor Halliday Suggested $1,000 a Month Tal the End of the War. The Frontenac County Council was in session Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday considering what fur- ther grant it should make to patri- otic purposes. Prof. L. W. Mulloy addressed 'the Council and suggested that arrange ments be made for the holding of! about . fifteen recruiting meetings throughout the county during the: tall. , Arrangements were made for a deputation of thewSpeakers' Patriotic League to address the Council at 2 Wednesday. At the Wednesday morning ses- sion in committee of the whole, with Councillor Kennedy im the chair, Warden Donaldson said he had been met with the question das to what Frontenac was doipg as compared] with other counties. Was jit doing its duty?: He wrote the council l} wembers and ali expressed themsel- ves in accord with his suggestion of giving four machine guns to the Militia Department. Later after consultation with the military auti- orities, he was advised that the de- partment had enough machine guns, and that Frontenac had better make] its contribution to thé . Patriotic Fund. A public meeting was arrang- ed for Tuesday evening, September in the City Hall, and he was | surprised when he came to the city | that day to find that the meeting had been called off. He had noth- gi}! ing to do with the cancelling of the if | meeting, which he was sure would | have aroused the county peop.e to a | ould sense of their duty. While Froa- tenac may haye Jone something it do 'better. Were the peo- ple of Frontenac to-day going to be as worthy as their fathers? There I'was a crisis throughout the empire, | tenac if | to follow | counties, and a chance was afforded the peo- ple to do something. The Warden did not think Fron- was doing what it should. This county should not be content| in the footsteps of other It should lead he declar- ed. Those who do not go to the front should do everything possible ito assist the empire in these trying days. Warden Donaldson said that the farmers of Canada had been blessed | with a bountiful harvest and good | prices, and it was his' opinion that { the farmers could well afford to give| {from 15 to 25 per cent of their erop to the cause. . He was pleased to be | able to"state that the people of Fron- Hi grant [| would be $6,300, and let next year's 5 thought best. | tenac. were' behind the: Council in doing what it thought best in assist-| ing. this great cause of the Allies. Councillor Balls said that Stor-| rington had always been willing to! assist. It had already donated $1,000} to the Patriotic Fund and given to| Belgian Fund. i Councillor Munro" remarked that] Oso was proud to assist in aiding! those who had gone to the front.| Chancellors Parks and Gray spoke likewise for' their townships. Councillor Thompson suggested | that Frontenac pay, say $260 a| month to the fund for several years. | Councillor Stoness "congratulated | the Warden for calling the Council | # together to consider the best cause! to pursue.in assisting in the great | struggle. "Frontenac should be able] to assist in proportion as much as| any other county. in the Province, Councillor Reid favored a monthly grant as suggested by Councillor Parks. ---- Germans In North Frontenac. Councillor Wensley held a similar view. Let each year's Council make a grant. In Councillor Wensley's township (Clarenden- and Miller) there was a large German element, and that gentleman remarked that atter he had moved the grant of $2,- 000 to the Patriotic Fund last fall, a move was made against him in sev- eral quarters for doing so. He wasn't afraid of this, but if he hap- pened to be left home, at next elec- tion, he would like to: have his sue- cessor put on record ae how he stood in régard to a patriotic grant. Councillor Halliday regretted that the county meeting had been can- celled, but thought good = results would accrue from the present coun- cil meeting. - All along he felt that Frontenac was not doing what it should do as compared with other counties. He was of opinion that the Frontenac Council Should make a. grant of $1,000 a month till the end of the war. That was not too much, "The people had to make some sacrifices, and money sacrifice | was not a big one. His idea, he claimed was the fairest way of con- tributing, Thé Council grant was levied on all in the county. Coun- cillor Halliday said he did not think his proposed grant would require any additional taxation. The present revenue, he thought, would cover it. Councillor Foley thought it was too late in the year to levy a debt pn the county for future Councils to ar- range for. Let the present Council make a grant for this Is Year, 4 as yr tax rate has already been fixed, and let next year's Council --- its duty. Councillor Foley said he was not 'in favor of holding recruiting meet- ings throughout the county, as there, were too few men on the farms to ge to the war. Farm labor was we scarce, Any recruiting should done in the cities. Councillor McKnight favored a lib eral grant by the Council at once. The people, herwas sure, would back up the Council. Councillor Franklin favéred a this year equal to a mill, which Council make whatever grant it Councillor Redden expressed him- self in sym! ¥ with a reasonable grant. He favored the suggestion of Councillor Franklin. Councillor Kennedy said his opt ship was willing to do anything reason.

RESIG NATION OF S. J. M. COMPTON. Paid Warm Tribute To Pastor For His Work And Offer Of Services ¥or Front. At the Kingston Presbytery meet- ing in Belleville, the resignation of Rev, S.-J. M. Compton, paster of St. Andrew's Church, Kingston, was accepted. W. G.- Craig for the chureh- urged leave of absence as did Cou. G. H. Ogilvie. Both spoke in high terms of Mr. Compton. When Mr, Compton spoke he said he wished nis resignation to stand. He felt that he could not be at rest in his work overseas among the soldiers, if tie still had the pastoral charge of St. Andrew's, even with six months' leave of absence. Rev. Dr. Jordan moved that the resignation be accepted, at the same time paying tribute to his work, and moving that a suitable minute he prepared and placed in the min- utes of the church. Dr. Jordan in an eloquent address referred to Mg.! Compton's action in going overseas. Rev. Mr. Cumberland seconded the motion, and it. was passed, Wafter which the members of Presbytery arose and sang the National An- them. LATE SOCIAL NOTES.
