All the colonels of the different Battalions would be waited on in due time regarding th: matter. He was sure that there would be no difficulty from this quarter, Trustee Monk said that to him it Was a question of what the working- men intended to do. He was given to understand that all the ab- or unions would turn down the dyy- light saving scheme, and that o side contractors would do the same. Then the retiring hour for the chil- dren was governed by the weather. They would have to get up an hour earlier and would be at school dur- ing the hottest hour of the day, People in Favor Trustee Meek said he was sorry : the Federal Government had not act- ed upon the suggestion of the As- sociated Boards of Trade, the Mont- real Labor Council, and the Labor Congress, and passed an Act to make the scheme universal, How- ever, the Government had been too busy with very important matters to take it up. When the jocal Board of Trade had been asked by the As- sociated Boards of Trade, to en- dorse the scheme, the question was Talsed as to what effect it would 'have on the business men, and they stated that they would fall in line With it. He felt that if a plebiscite were to be taken on the question in the city, the people would vote in favor of giving the scheme a trial. Better for 'Children Trustee Meek also stated that the earlier 'hour for commencing work would not be injurious to the health of the children. More work in the morning would be better for = the children. It had been found that far better work was accomplished in the kindergartens in the morn- ing. Teachers agreed that the morning sessions accompli more for the children. The scheciie was at the present time under comsider- ation in Ottawa and Toronto. given a trial in Kingston. Then, again, it was better for the mew time to 'be given a trial before the Government passed an act, as we did not know as yet whether it would be a success. The 'House ¢* Com- mons, in England, had pasced such a scheme, feeling that it was an ec- 'onomic necescity. As to the chil- dren working the hottest hour of the day, the schools would he clos- ed in twenty days, and not open un- til Septemiber 1st, so the children would not suffer very much, Trustee Laird said that there was no principle involved. There could, of, course, be many good arguments both for and against such a scheme. He felt that the Board should fail "n line and give the scheme a trial. He could not see as it would hurt the children. 'He lived near a school where the. children got to school as early as 7.30 o'clock and played ball for an hour and a half, During the discussion, the ques- tion of whether the banks would observe 'the new time was raised. Trustee McKay said that the bank- ers had a meeting and had decided to adopt it. ; Trustee Meek asked Inspector Stuart regarding the attitude of the teachers. 1 The Inspector stated that the teachers had not held a meeting re- garding the matter, but from what he was able to learn, they were gen- erally in favor of it. Trustee Eliott said that to his mind it was not a question as to how others would take the scheme, but rather as to how the Board felt towards the children. The children would benefit by the new. time. Re- garding the argument that the children would suffer from the heat he could not see that they would suffer much until closing time on June 23ed. During the last two weeks of this month more coal had been consumed in 'the schools than ever before during this period. The city newspapers stood to lose more by the new scheme, but had agreed to observe it. : Trustee Macdonald questioned whether it would be wise to start the scheme on' Thursday June 1st or on the "following Monday, which would give the children the week- end rest. The departmental exam- inations would be held shortly, and would the Board have power to dhange the time for these examin- a Trustee Meck said there would be no trouble on this point, ag it would be known at what hour the exam- nations would be held. * 'After some further discussion, the motion of Trustee Elliott was voted on and adopted on a major'ty vote. yeas and nays were not called Albert Sellers Leaves Prison.

At the Utilities Commission meet- ing on Monday afternoon W.F. Nickle and H, C. Nickle, representing the Street Railway Company, were pres- the Commission as to power. Ow- ing to the very high prices of electri cal machines at this time, the Street Railway Company cannot see its way clear to purchase the generators re- quired should hydro power shortly be secured. The new agreement gives the company power at 1.20 for ten years, and if the installation of the generators takes place within the ten years, then the agreement is to run on ten years after the installa- tion. Commissioner Elliott pointed out hat the agreement then might run over nineteen years. Mayor Richardson said he did not like mak- ing such long. contracts, while Com- missioner Elliott raised the question as to whether the law would allow an agreement for more than ten years. The company's representatives pointed out that the Commission had nothing to lose by the agreement, as 1,20 cents was a good price for pow- er,:particularly as hydro power was about to be secured. The company wag faced by war prices in electrical machinery. It wanted a chance af- ter installing the generators to pay for them by the profit the Commis- sion would make at the 1.20 rate after hydro power was secured. It was figured that ten years' profit might pay for the machines, the Com- mission to credit the company with the difference between 1.20 (steam rate) and the lower hydro rate. The Commission decided to have the power agreement executed, after making some minor changes in a cou- ple of clauses. * These coal contracts were award- ed: 1,800 tons anthracite coal, R.
