These bonds were bearing 4 p.c interest, and as tne highest tend- er, that of the Dominipn Bond Co. was only $50,808.00,-1eaving a ser- ious shortage to meet the build- ing contracts, it was decided to apply to the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board, to change the rate to 4; p.c. and also to make the bonds straight term instead of in- stalment. This change would call for the establishment of a‘ F‘nking ity and the Town Clerk “”5 in- Fund to meet the bonds Pi matur structed to invite tenders from fin- ancial institutions for the placing of the Sinking Fund. At last night’s meeting of the FinanceCommittee, it was decided to accept the prop- osition of the Victoria Loan and Savings 00., offering the town 4; p.c. interest on the Sinking Fund. for a period of thirty years.

If we have one benevolent institution in our midst, it is our hospital, said Mr.‘Dobson. Mr. Lewis said he was pleased to second the motion, and all should vote on it. He felt that they could not real;ze what such a gift meant to a community.

The account was laid over, {and when it was being considered Dr. Vrooman took the opportunity of emphasizing the necessity of a chari- ty doctor for the poor of the town. No class of men, declared the speaker practised the precept of charity to [such an extent as the members of the jmedical profession. They were frequ- ‘ently called on to treat poor patients and no remuneration was looked for. The town had on one occasion, the services of a charity doctor, but a former Mayor had dispensed with them. Dr. Vrooman gave an instance of a poor family being afflicted with . a contagious disease, and if the town had a charity doctor in this instance the obligations of the head of the family would be lightened consideraba ly. Dr. Vroonzan brought out very clearly and convincingly the blessings that would accrue from the appoint- ment of such an official. l an I (From Wednesday’s Post.) Messrs J. D.
