Councillor Emmeluth opposed
the resolution. Colonel Soper had
been fully paid and the unpaid
volunteers were certainly more en-
titled to it.
Minister Hatch hoped the reso-
luton would pass. a compliment
to the commanding officer was a
compliment to every man of the
force, paid or volunteer. Colonel
Soper had taken this Office at a
time when few were willing to do
so, and had been with the Govern
ment throughout its whole period
of danger. He considered the coma
pliment highly appropriate.
President Dole spoke strongly in
favor of the resolution. The col
onel had been constantly watchful
and vigilant and the compliment
was due him and the force.
The resolution was adopted, En-
meluth dissenting.
Councillor Brown held that COM
mittees must be re-appointed.

tween this country and North
