The Board of Works held an in- | formal meeting on Wednesday after- noon but no business of vital im- | portance was considered. At the re- quest of 'the members, the. city en- { glneer and. the chairman will pre. | sent:a report at the next meeting as to the paving work which should be | dowe during the year, Although a | vote was not take, the various mem- bers stated that they thought the | paving programme which has been | underway for some years should be | continued. It was the opinion of the committee that the citizens were an- xious that. most of the streets be paved. It was stated that some .ot the debentures which have been is- sued for road paving in 1914 would expire this year which would mean that any work undertaken this sea- son would not increase the ' tax rate. - The city engineer was given auth: ority to call for tenders for material that will be required for the build- ing of the pavements. The Blue Garage on Bagot street was given permission to erect a second gasoline pump in front of its property. ; The, request of Thomas Lovett for damages for injuries which his daughter received when she fell on the street some time ago was referr- ed to the city soMeitor. Several "of the aldermen brought to the attention of the city engineer bad pleces of roadway. Most of these places will be paved during the sum- mer so the trouble will be remedied. The following members were pres- ent: Ald. Peters (chairman), John- son, J. B. Holder, Sargent, Boya, Godwin and Joyce. T. J. RIGNEY TO ACT Island Roll Butter Fresh shipment. Get your supply early.

Fifdey led his Royal. Military College troopers through several feats of almost in- credible agility, which were included in the jumping features, which prov- ed such a popular attraction, says the Ottawa Journal. Riding three abreast with arms folded, the troop- ers flew over the obstruction on their rushing horses with the great- est ease, or, turning abont, took the high jump without difficulty. At the conclusion of this, perhaps, the most popular event of the evening, Rt. Hon, Arthur Meighen rose and took the general salute from the de- tachment. In this great ride Capt. Finney's troop consisted of B.S.M. R. Betts, Bombadier Smith afid Gunners Ran- frew, Williams, Cook, Barton and Robinson. To_Address Boy Beouts. : Prof: K.
