At the civie Fire and Light Com- mitte meeting Thursday afternoon, the bill of the Utilities Commission for street lighting for the first quar- ter of 1917, amounting to $5,391.- 25, was held over for further con- sideration as the amount is much in excess of the .budget appropriation. "The question of placing lights on the streets was discussed, but no de- cision was reached. The members may make a tour of the city somg night and see just' what is really required. H. W. Watts was given the con- tract of laying a concrete floor in No. 1 Fire Station at $1.39 a square yard. The committee passed a further amount of $50 for five fire alarm boxes. Some time ago an order was given to a firm for the boxes. The old figure was $75 each, but this has been raifed to $85. It was decided to grant the re- quest of the military Hospitals Com- mission and extend the fire alarm system to the Mowat Hospital. Members in attendance were Alds.

Coutlee, K.C., CLOSE OF CONVENTION PRESBYTERIAN MISSION WORK- | ERS TO MEET IN OTTAWA. | Rev. Dr. R. PP. MacKay, of Toronto, | General Sec'y of Foreign Mission. | ary Board, Gave Inspiring Address | --Fifty Thousand Women Yet fo] be Interested in Work. The third annual meeting of the Provincial Women's Missionary So- ciety of the Presbyterian Churc h in| Canada, was brought to a close with] Thursday afternoon's session. It was decided to hold next year's meeting in Ottawa. 7 A special feature of the closing session was an address by Rev. R. P. MacKay, D.D., of Toronto, gen- eral secretary of the foreign mission- ary board. He spoke on the progress along missiopary lines in various parts of the world, as carried on by the Presbyterian church, and point- ed out that even the great war had not affected the work of missions very much. i The speaker referred to China and | how the country was on the brink| of war, but everything had been set-| tled satisfactorily. Missionary work | was now progressing nicely in China | and India. He congratulated the) "members of the missionary society on| the noble work they were doing. | The keyngte of his address along the line of comtinued effort, was that every member should be a living missionary. © He made reference -to the young women who were making off mission fields, and appealed to the members to pray for them in their work The address by Rev. Dr Mackay was a most inspiring one, and was listened to with keen interest. Mrs. D. G. MacGregor, of Hamilton, | presented the report of the committee on resolutions. which was adopted. The report expressed sympathy for the president, Mrs. Charles Robertson, in the death of her husband; ex- pressed appreciation of the ' work done by the officers during the year] and the board of management; thanks to the local committee who had charge of the arangements for| the convention; to the speakers, the] choir and soloists and to all who had in any way helped to make the con-| vention a successful one. A message of greeting was read| from the Women's Missionary So-| ciety of the Anglican Church. A number of the members spoke briefly on the question, "What have we learned from this meeting.' and| brought forth some very valuable points for the delegates. | Mrs. J. Panton, of Oshawa, gave the closing words of the convention, | and in a most inspiring address told | about the work that should be done, and the manner in which it could be | best done. Her address was brim-| ful of timely remarks. ! The members regarded as a great blessing, the fact that their mission: ary work had not been upset as a| result of war conditions. One state- | ment given made known at the ses- sions, was the fact that there are 50.000 women of the Presbyterian] Church who do not take an active] part in the work of missions, and special effort will be made by each| Presbyterial to have all the members | who are not now engaged in the work | enrolled for service. An effort will| also be made to have more YOumg| people attend the convention as| delegates. } ------------ 7 7" HAD MADE ALLOWANCES For a Greater Shipping Wastage | Than Had Taken Place. London, May 4.--Earl Curzon, member of the War 'Council, speak- ing of the submarine situation, said he recognized the submarine men- ace to be formidable, but stated that in its calculations the Cabinet had made allowances for a wastage of shipping greater than that that had already taken place. He did not himself think in practice it would diminish shipping so greatly as to affect the ultimate issue of the war. The situation in Russia, Earl Curzon declared, was still regarded not 'without anxiety. Great War Veterans. Canada Millary Gazette * A convention of war veterans was held recently at Winipeg.
