The civic parks committee held its final meeting of the year on Wed- nesday afternoon, but the business was of a routine nature, chiefly in the passing of accounts and winding up the affairs for the year. The parks committee has had one of the most active years in its his- tory. The taking over of the man- agement of the e¢lvic playgrounds this year provided a great deal of extra work for this committee, and the members of the committee have the satisfaction of knowing that {| thelr work was well done. With a very small amount of money at their disposal for the operstion of the playgrounds, the members of the comniittee laid théfr plans accord- ingly and made a great success of thelr undertaking. The chairman, Ald. R. B. Kent, who has served as head of this committes for many years, was warmly thanked for_his services in a resolution passed by the members, Chairman Kent presided at the meeting and other metftbers present | were Mayor Angrove, AM.

The Board of Works held its final meeting for 1924 "on Wednesday afternoon, .and cleaned off all the business on the'slate. The chairman, Ald. Peters, was in the chair, and the other members present were Mayor Angrove, Alds. Johnston, Godwin, Kidd and J. B. Holder. In order to cope with the heavy snow drifts on. King. sireet west, opposite Hales' cottages, Dr. J. C. Connell petitioned the council at a recent meeting to erect a snow fence. Tenders were called for the fence, and that of John Peters, at 14 1-16 cents per lineal foot for 1,200 feet, being the lowest, was accepted. The board also. decided to erect a snow fence on Upper Princess street, on the property of E. J. Metcalfe, and Mr. Peters will be asked to provide for thfs fence, on thé same terms he quoted for the femce on King street west, The Belleville Creameries, located on Lower Johnson street, asked per- mission to effet a 750-gallon gaso- line tank, to be located twenty-five feet away from any building. The request will be gramted, *he instal- lation of the pump to be inder the supervision of the city engineer and the fire chief. Al On the advice of the city eolicitor, the council will be asked to pay a claim for $7.25, presented by C. J. Corrigan. The latter had a spring in his automobile broken, as a re- sult of driving his car into a hole In the Barrie street pavement. On the advice of the city engineer, the board will ask that the men en- gaged on the work mepped out for | | the unemployed, be paid every week instead of every two weeks. Obairman Peters regarded the sug- gestion as a timely one, and the other members of the board felt that it was a good move to help the men given employment so they would not have to wait so long for their money. Before the board finally adjourned, Ald. Kidd moved a hearty vote of thanks to Chairman Peters, for the able manner in which he had pre- sided at the meetings during the year, and for the co-operation he had given all the members of the board in the carrying on of the busi- ness. Ald. Johnston paid tribute to the work of the chairman, in seconding the motion, which was carried by a unanimous vote, and with much en- thusiasm. Chairman Peters thanked his col- leagues, in a neat address. He sald he had carried out his duties tc the best of his ability. "I could not have had a better committee," he added, "there has been no trouble whatever, every member co-operating in the work, and we have a good year's work to our credit. We have plished a great deal of street work; some may be of the opinion that we are doing too much paving, but I do not think so. We must carry on until we get over the hill and I think that some day we will all see the benefit of it." Chairman Peters also took octa- sion to thank City Engineer Dick for his work. "With the aid of the engineer we have been able to do a lot of good work," added the chair- man, "and I am more than delighted with the co-operation he has given me."

Touch fay © bear retires to a hole when winter comes does Captain Neil McDougall, C.N.R. sportsmen's representative, at Nipigon Lodge, Orient Bay, emerge from his sum- mer quarters, with accounts for a flying visit over last week-end to To- ronto. Mere chance made Neil McDougall a woodsman, or as he terme himself, a "bushwacker" instead of a doctor. Born in Kingston, Ont., he was at- tending Queen's University and was in his second year in medicine when his father died. Determined not to be an expense to anyone, when an old colonel, friend of his dad's, and a factor of the Hudson Bay Com- pany, offered to take him along, he grasped the opportunity--from then on the great outdoors claimed him. Almost at once his medical know- ledge was turned into good account, A Night in the Woods. Many interesting Incidents he can tell (if he will) of long treks in the wilds when for months they were shut off from civilization and a mail- boat was a yearly event. Once, when oft a mission with an Indian guide, he discovered he had left im- portant papers behind at the post, and his faithful little guide offered to return for them while he pushed on. When night came he was miles from any human being and alone in a forest.
