Chown and Clow, to Petition | Ontario Legislature--The Fire- Cent Wage Increase. This is Leap Year and the City Couneil is going to pay its compli- ments to the young ladies in a way out of the usual. If a motion intro- duced into the council on Monday night receives the sanction of the ma- mority--and there is every indication | that it will---the Ontario Legislature twill be asked to levy a poll tax on all" "girls" between the ages of 21 and 60, excepting those who are al- ready paying income or otBer tax or whose husbands, are taxpayer¥. That is the gist of the notice of motion that Alds. Shown and Clow sprang on the council. In order that the aldermen might thoroughly understand the im- asked that it be made a notice of mo- tion, and the movers acquiesced, Ald. Chown assured council that the la- dies would just be tickled to pay poll tax like the men, now.that they are voting in Dominjon and provincial elections and occupying seats on the Board of Education and the Board of Health. He was sure they would not object to "coming across". Ald. seconded the resolution was because he read of a western Ontario city having already charged women with poll tax. ' "Do you think you would dare again to run in.Rideau ward if you vote for this motion * asked Ald. Smith of AN. Clow, but the Question waly left unanswered. Increase For Firemen. The recommendation of the fire and light committee that the firemen be given a wage increase of twenty- five per cent was carried by a vote of 13 to 7. Those who opposed the re- commendation were not opposed to the increase, but did not desire that it should be made until the finance committee had reported that there were funds for the payment. Accord- ing to an old by law this is the pro- cedure laid down, but the mia jority of the council were satisfied to vote for the increase now. They regarded the objection as a mere tecnicality | chiefly in view of the fact that the increase is passed upon be- fore the budget is struck. Alds. Chown and White pointed out that the firemen could not be expected to wait two months longer trying to live on 1918 wages. Ald. Chown explained that the Du- plex motor truck which George Boyd was loaning to the fire department would be used at No. 1 station and would go to fires in place of a team of horses. The fire committee was authorized to at once arrange to have steel rods put into No. 2 station so as to stiffen the upper floor which was in danger of collapsing. Finance Report.

MUCH RIVALRY REPORTED AMONG MILITIA REGIMENTS RE- | GARDING WAR SERVICE. | It is Presumed That Only Officers | With War Records Will Constitute 3 the Staff of Each New Establish. | ment, In connection with the reorgani- zation of militia units and the pre- paration of war records there 1s reported to be much rivalry among the old regiments regarding the part each played subsequent to Aug. 4th, 1914. Many are reported as train- ing and sending overseas large num-~ bers 'of officers and men, but while this is true there is one point over which there is room' for much en- lightenment and that is: "How many of the officers and men of the per- sonnel as it existed o Aug. 4th, 1914, served in the late It is presumed. that in the reorganiza- tion only officers with war records will constitute the staff of each esta- blishment. There is another aspect of this matter, too, that will scarcely be overlgoked. Officers who served in the late war have gained an ex peffience that the country cannot af-f ford to lose because it is needed in the training of the militia, which | should have the benefit of the ser- vice of all officers capable of impart- ing information of value in tactical matters, bivouacs, camps, sanitation, trench warfare, bombing, and the co- operation of dnfantry and the arti} lery barrage, besides transportation, equipment and supplies. : fh ion ot prcsdoses tn Se question of precedence aud the Gov t will no doubt matter of efficiency and nothing should be permitted to intervene 1c 'the detriment of any unit or brane! -| of the service. have an eye single to the fmportan: Were never known than we offer you during this Sale.
