Having some business to do with the Company's local agent, Mr. Switzer, he had him called to the hotel. Upon his arrival, Mr. Switzer | found Mr. McKee quite cheerful an. apparently recovering from his ba attack of what appeared to be heart trouble. In fact, at supper time and for some time thereafter it looked as Mr. McKee would he able to continue his. journey next morning. About. seven or eight o'clock, however, he took a turn for the worse, and the doctor was called. Sometime between nine and ten o'clock he seemed to be 'comfortable, 'and thought "that: "with a good night's sleep, he would be ua right in the morning. 'Shortly after ten o'clock a disturb- ance was heard in his room, and i 'was fond that he had risen from his bed and had fallen to the floor, oi which he lay unconscious. Every effort was made to restore the sick man, and the doctor was again called, but before he could arrive, Mr. Mc Kee was dead.

In this mat- 'might be stated that it is ex- that the total cost of the pro- memorial will be between $800 1000. © Of this 'amount the the I. O. D. E. will give $200 G. A. U.

Aside from these sources income it is intended to raise some 00 or $500 by public subscription, and that subscription will' be taken 'Jon Friday, January 26th: that is, on Friday of next week. It is intended to place the memorial 'Inear the G.T\R. Station, on the space ee north of the weigh scales.

On these three cement structures, to be suitably finished in white or some other attractive surfacing, 'tabléts will be placed. The one in the centre will be erected to the memory of the Port Perry soldiers who died in their country's service. On the two pil- lars at the front the tablets will be placed bearing the names of the sol- .diers from' Port Perry who served in the Great War. At either side of the _central base suitable flower beds will 'be made and kept, and the rest of the enclosure will be in grass. This work of erecting a memorial has been in the hands of a committee consisting of representatives from the I. 0. D. E,, the G. A. U. V.,, the Board of Trade, and the Town Council, and it is sincerely hoped that the towns- people will see that this long delayed work is given the support that it de-| serves, and see that the work is car- ried out at the earliest possible time. The memorial is being placed near the station so that visitors -to our town will be sure to see it, and this will also form part of the general im- provement of the water front, which it is hoped will be. continued next summer. . When Letters Blur STANDARD BAN K OF CANADA TOTAL ASSETS OVER EIGHTY-THRER MILLIONS CEMETERY COMPANY MEETS The annual meeting of the share- holders of the Pine Grove Cemetery Company was held at the Treasurer's Office, Port Perry, on Monday, Jan- vary 16th, at 2 p.m. The attendance was not as large as usual - but there was considerable business put through. The public oes not seem to be aware of the fact that every owner of a lot in the cemetery is a shareholder and entitled to a vote on all questions at the an- nual meetings. The Board of Directors of 1922 were re-elected for 1928 and are as follows:-- John: Jeffrey, S. Jeffrey, P. Christie, W. L. Parrish, J. Sttone- house, W. H. McCaw, W. F. Weir, J. Rolph and A. W. Allin. The financial report shows a sur- plus of $978.83 on hand of which amount the sum of $375, was paid in for perpeaual care of lots. This is a method of caring for lots which should become more general as it relieves the owners of all care and worry for all time as to the upkeep of the last resting place of their loved ones, as the Provincial statutes re- quire that all monies paid for. per- petual care shall be invested in Gov- 'ernment bonds and -the interest ap- plied Tor upkeep, While we have one of the finest and best kept cemeteries east of To- tonto, it was pointed out at the meet- ing that the entrances are not in keeping with the interior of the cem- etery and there was a strong feeling that the old wooden posts, especially at the west entrance should be re- placed with something more durable and artistic. The books of the earetaker show that a large number of owners of plots are in arrears in their payments for taking care of their plots and the treasurer was instructed to notify all such that a clause in the by-laws 'of the company empowers the direct- ors to refuse to allow any further interments in the plots of delinquents until all arrears are paid and that the directors intend to enforce that rule in the future and the caretaker was noified to put this decision in to effect. After the adjournment of the shareholders meeting the directors met and elected their officers for 1923 as follows: President, John Jeffrey; Secretary, John Rolph; assistant sec. and treasurer, James Stonehouse; House and grounds committee, Messrs W. L. Parrish, W. F. Weir, and A. W. Allin, Caretaker, Louis Bond. Auditor, T. J. Widden and Geo. R. Davey. ; By-law No. 20 was amended to read as follows: "That the found- ations of all monuments hereafter put up shall be as deep in the earth as the bed of the grave. That the di- ameter of the foundation. shall be as large as the diam of above ground. That the 'foundation shall be rade of all cement or stone and cement and the cement in the latter case shall be as good as 6 to 1. No dry foundations allowed Port Perry Branch, - H. G.
