Present, Mayor Pitt, councillors Wilde, Mathews, Klose and Reid. Al rather brisk session resulted, owing to. the discussion of the electric light ser- vice. First however, bills and accounts were passed that depleted the treasury | of over $8,000. An offer, the only one, for the $5,000 hospital debentures of a' request for the issuance of $8,000 school debentures received from the board of education. The matter was attended to forthwith and after the fire and property committee was in- structed to confer with the fire chief town electrician was asked to explain why the lights in the neighborhood of of a of the town. The explanation given. was logical and to the point. The wir- ing is not of sufficient magnitude to: carry the required load. Then the lights of the town came up for discus- ion. Each member of the council re- lated harrowing experiences with irate 4odet the others in on the secret of ed at: 1 view with more equanimity the present tention given to 'phone; citizens complaining of the quality of! his lights. An explanation was elicited from councilor Mathews in reference to the dimming of the town lights at 8 o'clock. He told of an additional load of 300 horse power being utilized at the mill at that hour and explained that the town and mill voltage was comparatively the same and that when the town suffered the mill was in a likes} © position. Councillor Klose reported the circulation of a statement Mayor Pitt and himself were receiv- ing better light than the ordinary cit- izens. The electricians present a- sounted for this phenomenon by calling attention to the fact that both city fathers were very close to the trans- Zormer and Mayor Pitt and Councilior Klose breathed freely once more. Town electrician Bartlett mentioned the fact that the metre at the home of coun. Klose had been stopped for two suc- cessive months, Jim, however, refused that manipulation, much to the disappoint- ment of his brother members. _ Here is the gist of the deliberations of the council and the conclusion arrive The members were Eom inied of the! accuracy of the statement made by councillor Mathews, that the mill shar- ad pro rata with the town in making the best of a shortage of power and none were disposed to ask for a great- or concession along that line. It was deemed advisable, that as the power by the mill management to be some- what deficient, to place the council on record as in favour of a reduction of! the rate to the price named in the Wainwright Power agreement between the paper mill and the town, and a re- solution was passed by the council! calling upon the Paper Mill Co. to adjust the change at once to the new. schedule. would entail a reduction to the consum- er, and the citizens, it was felt, would ality of illumination.

While they are proud to be able by their own efforts to contribute towards the up- keep, of St. Luke' s, their greatest re- ward comes of the emotion of having shared in 'the preservation of that ST siritual entity to which they have given something of themselves.

They speak in the highest terms of the endurance and heroism of the vie- tims of the conflagration. The fire did not make a clean sweep of the devast- ated area, occasional stretches of a mile or so in width having escaped, and the settlers on these unharmed sections were among the first to estab- lish a system of relief, in fact they put their every possession at the service of their less fortunate neighbors. - The burned rural sections contained homes with large families, consequently there is a large number of small children affected. The relief committees have rendered effective service and the gov- | } ; Northern Ontario Still Needs Help Now that winter has gripped the North help is more urgentiy needed Here is a typical scene--a little boy who travels many miles for-the daily supply of food, for a large family. His father is building a in the big fire. In the meantime shack on the outskirts of Cobalt. ernment is looking after the estahl ish ment of new houses of a primitive character as well as stables for stock, and other outbuildings. While thers are mo cases of actual want in respect to bare necessities, a great deal of hardship is being undergone, and the spirit in which this is being met evid- ences the highest courage and self sacrifice on the part of the stricken populace. It can be readily understoou how cash is preferable to goods in the hands of the committees. Each in- dividual need can be supplied by cash, while in the gift of clothing, ete. there is apt to be. duplication on the one hand and shortage on the other. = Al- though strenuous efforts have been made to meet all actual requirem ; | there is much yet to be done, and cash is essential to the accomplishment of that which remains to be accomplished. 'At present there are five or six public health and some half dozen Red Cross nurses in the district, and everything possible is being done for those who are ill, There is great cause for thankfulness from the fact that not even an epidemic of pneumonia or kin- dred ailments followed in the wake of the exposure that resulted from the lack of adequate shelter after the des- truction of the homes. * The visitors left Wednesday on No 1 for Winnipeg, where they will attend a conference of the Public Herlth Nur ses of the > pr ovince of Manitoba.

The actual sum raised was about $67,500 due to the earnest work of the Women's Institute and the response of the people. - It} therefore well to note that if a cert section of our people are going to devil, the human heart still beats w tt sympathy in a large proportion of our citizens. In view of the further eit or relief committee, and the obvious nes of the stricken district, there is "ho doubt that an addition will be made to the sum already raised.
