A '21 ing to the P‘rovinciai Treasury from this source of revenue an additional $2,000,000 annuallyâ€"were approved by Order-in-Council of Ontario Gov- (rnment yesterday, were subsequent- 1;: announced by Hon. Leopold Mac- aulay, Minister of Highways, and are effective with the issuance of the 19- 3:2 markers, on or about Dec. 15. The basis for the computation of the fees has been changed. Heretofore Ontario’s practice has been to fee for cars on the horsepower, as developed by a formula used by the American Society of Automotive Engineers and the Royal Automobile Club of Eng- land. In future, the number of cylind- ers of the automobile will govern the price to be paid for operating it. Con- sequently, the revised passenger car marker prices will run as follows: Four cylinders ........................ S 7.00 Six cylinders ............................ ' 12.00 Six cylinders ............................ ' 12.00 Eight cylinders ...................... 20.00 Twelve cylinders .................... 30.00 Sixteen cylinders .................... 40.00 Electric .................................... 20.00 Steam ...................................... 20.00 These fees represent an increase of $2 each for all four-cylinder machinâ€" es: an increase of $2 each for all six- cylinder; and an average increase of $10 for all eight cylinder. For twelve and sixteen cylinders the fees have Roan nanlla flat rate.

Although hope for Nicholas’ rec-ov- ery was almost abandoned last week physicians now report that he is gain- ing a little. However, his sight is said permanently destroyed. According to police, the two Indians consumed a bottle of anti-freeze and felt no ill effects. However, two days later Dockstater suddenly took ill and died. Then Nicholas was struck. Corporal E.

At his request police arrested Marion Bishop, 26, who told officers she telephoned all Sheehan’s calls because he paid no attention to her. canadian Mint Opens At Ottawa MRS. RHODES OPERATES MA- CHINES FIRST TIME Ottawa, Dec. 1.â€"Canada officially to- day took over full direction and con- trol of the mint at Ottawa. The mint was operated for years as a branch cf the Royal Mint at London, but now Canada has complete charge of makâ€" ing her own coins. Members of the Dominion Cabinet, headed by Rt. Hon. Sir George Perley, Acting Prime Minister; Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Acting Minister of Finance, and Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce; wives of Cab- inet Ministers, Sir William Clark, British High Commissioner to Canada; leading bankers and prominent Gov- ernment officials were present. ESTABLISHED 1869. Blinds Indian Bank of fientreai Statement Makes SatisE actary Showing Business well maintainedâ€"Total As- sets stand at $794.523,§33â€"â€"Liquid Assets at $417,406,508 are equal to 58.11 per cent of total liabilities to the publicâ€"Savings deposits hold at high levei--Pr0fits for year while lower, cover full regular dividend and usual appropriations. The Bank of Montrealâ€"for the fis- cal year to October 31stâ€"is forward- ing to its shareholders a strong and satisfactory statement. Under the general conditions that prevailed dur- ing the period there is, as expected, a decline in total assets, as also in pro- ‘fits. Perhaps the outstanding feat- ure is the manner in which the busi- ness of the Bank, as represented by current loans, has been maintained. It is also of interest to note that de- posits bearing interest, in which is in- cluded the savings department, are practically unchanged from those of the previous year. Among the largest gains reported are those in such high class holdings as government and municipal securit- ies. This is apparently due to the steady reduction that has occurred in the call loan department. Shareholdâ€" ers are sure to appreciate the strong showing made in face of the unsettled business conditions and will readily note the resources available to take care of any business expansion that may occur throughout the country. The statement, which is published elsewhere in easily understandable form, gives considerable information regarding the main features of the Bank’s position. Liquid Position Strong. At the end of the fiscal year total assets were $794,523,333, down from $826,969,537 at the end of the previous ‘year. Of this amount quickly avail- able resources amounted to $417,406,- 508, equal to 58.11% of all liabilities to the public. Included in these liqu- id assest are government and other bonds and debentures to a value of $236,433,817, the majority of which are gilt edged securities which ma- ture at early dates. Included in them jare Dominion and Provincial govern- ment securities, amounting to $169,- 089,426, up from $131,107,484; Can- adian municipal securities and British. foreign and colonial public securities $58,034,199, compared with 46,447,â€" 441; and railway and other bonds, de- bentures and stocks, $11,095,421, up from 85,074,726. The holdings of cash and deposit in Central Gold Reserve total $83,625,- 914, at which level they ale equal to 11. 64’,’ of pupblic liabilities. $1.59 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. (Continued on page 8) “m
