THE TOWN’S REVENUE $4000 UNDER ESTIMATE BY AN ERROR OF THE AUDITOR THE TOTAL TAXES WERE OVER- ESTIMATED Some Departments are Already Over- Drawn â€" The Water Commission’s Debt to the Town is $l639â€"Will Mayor lngle See the Duke? â€"-â€"No Road Roller This Year The iegular meeting of council was held 011 \Iondm night. A gener 11 meeting of committees was held 011 Stitui (1.1V night to get leady for it. iAt that meetin a fact was made known that accoiding to his own" statement, deprived Aid. Jackson of his atmospheric inhalation and pro- duced :1. decided bulging of optics among his colleagues. It was contained in a letter from the auditor saying that by mistaking some figures at the foot of an asâ€" sessment sheet. for the total of that sheet’s contents. he had been led in- to an error of about $150,000 of as- sessment and had reckoned the pro- ceeds at :26 mills on that exaggerat- ed basis. The result Was that coun- cil counted on having 554000 more than it actually had and made ap- propriations to the difierent departâ€" ‘ments accordingly. The corrected appropriations cut down those very heavily and leave some departments largely over-drawn. " The Board of Works for example is already $1320 behind. Other Business of the Committees Mr. Rich. Sylvester asked that re either be allowed to build two con- nections between his factory and the sewer or have the town do it at his expense. He was certain that he was exempted with regard to local improvements, but council was not and the whole matter was allowed to stand. . 'u- 7‘ 7 Rnthbun Company and Kennedy.

It, is' hoped to get wood cheaper lut- er on and so far as charity grants are concerned 'the firms will deliver ‘them at the places indicated as ‘clieaply as at the market and save the cost of a second carting; hence the. small order.‘ It was found that the reason Why the old- stove put up on the south side of the" .new Lewn hail]. did not draw is that the pipe had been put into another hole in the wall instead of the one in the chimney. m: court, Ul luvxa-u...

Book Reviews PRO PATRIA. Max Pemberton, The Copp. Clark Company, Limited, Torâ€" onto. This is a fascinating story, well told, which must make its reader pause and consider. If the reader be a British subject he will probably wear his considering cap for some length of time, while he ponders long and seriously on what he has read. "The description and conversation are in the easy flowing style peculiar to I’emberton's books and particularly in the conversation some bright, cle- ver gems sparkle from many a line. The story is told by Capt. Alfred Hilliard, a wealthy gentleman of Cottesbrook. Northamptonshire, who had been ordered to Nice by his phy- sicians to recuperate after a fall from his horse While hunting. Front Nice he drifts to Pan Where he meets Colonel Lepeletier and his daughter Agnes. with the latter of whom h. straightway fell in love. Colonel Lepeletier is a splendid specimen-of the true, polished French gentleman. Later they go to Calias.

It happened that another gunner, who was about to give up his day's work. heard the sharp and repeated whistling of what he supposed were grass hirds,‘ and quickly reloading his gun, he, too, picked up his whistle and began to call. First the man in the tall grass would whistle, then the man in the adjoining stand would answer, and this was kept up for a long time until it got so dark ner he could not have seen them. Presently the gunner who was crouch- ing in the tall grass ventured to rise and scan the marshes, when to his sur- prise and chagrin he saw the gunner iu ; the stand do likewise.
