member of the board of works in the
discussion of the question stated that
something like this should be done
each year in order that the people
might be fully acquainted with the
finances of the city. A complete re-
port is. made elsewhere in these
columns.
But one dissenting voice was heard
in respect to taking a census of the
city. The remaining members OF the
club voted aye to the motion to
master ]. A. Spekenhier, who will
start his organization Immediately.
He stated last evening that the pres
ent population was $4,000 and being
postmaster he is in a position to know.
Each ward will have it's organization
and 1t Is believed that the census can
be taken in one night by all members
''buckling down" to the work.
Wilfred Jessup who was against the
matter stated that it would not benefit
the city any He stated that the pow
er to take the census was invested in
council and that within short time,
the national census would be taken.
However the purpose OF the club in
securing the census each year is to
compare the results and find out
whether the city is standing still, adj
vancing or losing in population.
For Permanent Headquarters.
Until the club secures headquarters
of its own, it will continue to meet at
the council chambers. The PROPOSE
ton of holding the regular monthly
meetings in the Commercial Club
rooms was turned down by a class
vote.

ed by the committees was read last
evening, but no action taken. 1t will
be read section by section at the meet
