day was marked, also by the absence,
to a certain degree, on the friction
which has hitherto existed among the
notarieS public, as the special COM

matters in hand and seems to have
Strengthened things out to the sat

q Major smead Talks.
Major w. Fl. smead, the prime 9
mover in the campaign for uniform
opening and closing hours for the mo-

believe that step has been taken in
the right direction, but am not pre- [
pared to state whether or not will I
put up my free registration tent to-
day. believe that the city is en-
titled to havo the visitors stay long /
enough to see the place and form an b1
opinion of it's good points. do not !
wish to appear too radical in the mat :

as the money is concerned, but simp- !.
ly think that the city should be en- ],
titled to have the visitors stop over
long enough to see the place.
