At a. meeting of the Portsmouth Council held on-Monday evening the assessment roll was confirmed and the tax rate will be struck at the next meeting of the council. It is not known as yet what the rate will be as the school estfinates have not yet been presented. The question of drivers of autos be- ing fined for speeding in the village was under consideration, and it was pointed out that the council did not desire to make any money out of the cases, but that they wanted to protect the people. Reeve Halliday thought that the drivers should have been given due warning before action was taken and asked that the fines be remitted and that the offenders only be called upon to pay the costs of the court, but the council took no action. It was announced that Union street was being prepared for oiling and the work will be proceeded with just as soon as the holes have been filled. A request was received from the Health Association, to take over the drain constructed for the use of Mow. at Hospital, but council would not agree to take it over, as it could not be used to any great extent by the residents and further, the council did not care to assume the responsibility in the matter. Reeve James Halliday presided at the meeting and the other members present were Councillors Kennedy, Hartrick, Westlake and Weller. ST. LUKE'S PICNIC. Was Held Monday Afternoon In Spite of the Rain.

When Albert Newell, a.young-man came before Magistrate Farrell, on Monday morning, on a charge of be- ing intoxicated, he swore that he had been drinking extract of lemon; which he had purchased at local stores but this was not the case. He purchased a bottle of liquor from one, Francis Clark, On a charge of perjury Newell was on Tuesday morning sentenced to one month in jail and on a charge of selling liquor without a license, Clark was fined $200 and costs, with the option of three months in jail. Clark pleaded "not guilty" to the charge of selling liquor without a li- cense on being arraigned, but after- wards changed his plea to that of "guilty," admitting that he had sold Newell a bottle of liquor but that he did not know there was any harm in making. the sale and asked the magis- trate to pardon him. "I have no right to ed the magistrate. / "But I did not think there would be any harm in doing what I did," said Clark. Newell stated that on Sunday after- noon he had a drink' of two per cent. beer at a local hotel. As he came out of the hotel he remarked to Clark, who was nearby, that he would like very much to have a drink of liquor. "I can get you some liquor," said Clark, and the latter made off and re- turned in a short time with a six- ounce bottle, which he sold to Newell for $1.25, A tippler gathered in Monday night stated that he had been mixing some extract of lemon with two per cent beer. He secured the lemon extract from the pantry at his boarding house.

He was fined $10 and costs. BAND CONCERT In Victoria Park This Evening by ° the P,W.O.R. A concert will be given in Vie- toria Park this (Tuesday) evening at eight o'clock by the P.W.O.R. band.
