Thompson and John- on reside in Belleville. In presenting the report, Trustee explained that the reason for committee recommending that plans and specifications be call- for, was due to the fact that the of the architects mentioned, not meet with the full require- ments. Trustee Baldwin sald that the Ans of the architects were not en- ] satisfactory to Inspector who was consulted in the matter by the property committee. Trustee Macdonald also stated that the plans were not to the satis- faction of the in=nector so as to war- rant the going ahead with the erec- tion of the new school at once, and pointed out that the alterations de- sired would change the cost, but if i were called for and were re- as satisfactory, tenders could called for.

He felt that either of the { would meet with the approval the board, with some minor de- alls. He suggested that the board one or the other of the two 8, and then call for tenders. Lemmon said he would in amendment that the plans 'Thompson & Johnson be accepted, they be engaged as architects, the minor changes be made in plans and specifications, and ten- "called for.

ODESSA-YARKER ROAD NOW COUNTY HIGHWAY And WII Be Rebullt at Once-- To Be Made Double Present Width. The roadway from Odessa to Yarker has been taken over as a county provincial highway, and will be rebuilt at once. Already work- men have commenced construction on the outskirts of Odessa. The road, which fn some places is only about thirty-three feet from fence to fence, js being. widened to sixty-six feet. The fences On either side of the road' are being pushed back, and the ditches along the new roadway are being started. This will certainly be a fine thing for the travelling public, as this piece of highway, starting at Odessa for a distance of some miles, has been in a dreadful state of repair this spring. It is a wonder that the county council has not been called upon to meet damage actions. A number of telephone poles own- ed by the Ernesttown Telephone Co. are being taken out of their origi- nal location and are being pushed back to make way for the new road. A stone crughing plant has been put into place and will commence opera- tions in the course of a few days. This road-building work is giving employment to a large number of men who have been out of work, and have had good farm hands, have lost them, as the men seem to prefer road work in preference to farming.

Ottawa, May 38.--Premier King at the opening of the House of Com- mons yesterday afternoon replied to a resolution passed by the Grand Lodge of Orange Young Britons, at Peterboro, condemning as unpat- riotic and unProtestant his action permitting the House to adjourn over Ascension Day and not over Victoria Day.

The Right-Hon. Arthur Meighen when leader of the late Government had observed Ascension Day. Regarding Victoria Day, the prime minister had cabled to the Cana- dian high commissioner to ascer- tain whether or not. the British | parliament would sit on Victoria | Day. It was found that the British | House would sit, and the prime minister said he thought the Cana- dian House might do the same.

Poison gas is said to be responsible for many cases of lung trouble since the war ended.

The fire started in the porch in front of Percy York's bake- shop, on the west side of the buliding, the floor of the porch and the door having been soak- ed with the inflammable ma- ter'al.

There is also a large number of foreigners. The permits to be issued will not likely cover more than 10 per cent. of those who have ap- plied.

SIR WILLIAM FETERSEN IS HEARD AT OTTAWA He Can Carry Immigrants In Good Olean Ships at Cheap Rates. ------ Ottawa, May 28.--Testifying be- fore the ocean rates committee of the House of Commons today, Sir William Petersen, Atlantic steam- ship owner, declared that the high ocean rates prevailing were due to frills chiefly. He mentioned the steamer Urania launched last year at & cost of one million pounds. This boat with its gymnasiums and nurs- eries must enjoy high rates. If the service was confined to ideal cargo ships, with fair immigrant accom- modation, they "could beat them all." Bir William sald he had car- ried immigrants in 1907 and later for three pounds, ten shillings, while conference rates were seven pounds and at that rate he made money. He could, he said, carry immigrants today for eight or nine pounds in good clean reasonable ac- commodation. 1 Find White Indians.

Board of Works Decides to Ga detake Additonal Construction, 135 MEN ARE ENGAGED At Preseat Time on Street Work The Roads That Are To Be Undertaken. At a meeting of the Board of Works held on Wednesday after noon, Ald. John Fife Johnston brought up the question of unem- ployment, and asked if the board could undertake any work to help out the situation, which at the pre- sent time is alarming. He thought 2 it would be well for the city to pro- vide work now if at all possible, as there were many men who would have to be given assistance by the city next winter, if they were not provided with work in the summer. "The situation is very serious," sald Ald. Johnston, "and 'I would like to see the city do something to help out if at all possible. Ald. Johnston suggested that pere haps some more paving could be une dertaken, or perhaps some more walks laid. He brought up the ques ' tion of paving Ordnance street, from Montreal to Sydenham street, and it was decided to undertake this work. Another plece of work that may be undertaken {s that of grad- ing Chatham street. 2 The board is willing to undertake all the work possible to help out the unemployment situation if the Los ney can be provided for. .... i. As regards employment, the city engineer stated that at the present time, he had 135 men at work, and ) that perhaps in a short time he might be able to take on twenty-five more. ' In addition to the present pro- gramme for paving set down for this summer, there is also a chance of paving being undertaken on Col borne street, from Sydenhem to Di- vision street, and also Victoria street. The Utilities Commission will be asked to carryyout their work om these streets.
