He explained that he was one of the committee appointed to urge the council to purchase the building now used as a Home for the Aged, as it would be a good inVestment. The rent now being paid represented the interest on a sum of 83,500, leaving 85 per year to pay fire insurance. while the building and the lot adjoining could be purchased for 82,000. Certain repairs were necessary, but the board of management had 8327 in the treas- ury. and that sum would place the building in first-class condition. Coun. Burrows --“Tho purchase was approved of last year, and had the money been available the deal would have been gone through." Dep.-reeve Smyth said the matter had been discussed for the past three years, but each council had disapproved of the scheme. He was not in favor of the council purchasing the buildingâ€" the Home eing incorporated, the man- agers were in a position to buy the building if they thought the price was reasonable. In his opinion the time was not far distant when the council would have to revert to the old method of distributing charity. Reeve Brady, seconded by Coun. Wilson. moved that the finance coni- lmittee be requested to consider the l advisability of effectimr the purchase ‘ and report to the council. l on ..... .h Ho‘oâ€"i‘lOO-lm cocoon-Io 83%888R882 Coun. Crandell urged the immediate purchase of the building as a money- saving scheme.

Couns. Crandell and Mallon thought :Ulfi by~law should be introduced at i once. Coun. Burrowsâ€"“Well, the by-law I provides for certain changcs involving l a saVing of 3230 in salaries, andevery member should be given an opportunii v to state his views." . Coun.
