A statement was given out at the
Anti-Saloon League headquarters
when defeat seemed certain that the
result will be contested, notice to
be filed within the required ten
days. The principal ground for
such a contest, it is said, will be
that all but one OF the registrars
failed to require written appIica-
ton for registration, as seems to be
provided for by statute. The con-
test will probably operate to pre-.
vent the opening of the saloons for
some time.

o'clock. the council meeting having ended.
motion Of DR.. Nicholson that all re-
ports be reduced to 100 words, amended
by DR.. Baldwin that any board could
make its report longer by paying for any
excess. was adopted.
The board of stewards made a report
of apportionment. which was declared to
be unfair. on the grounds that churches
paying the same salaries were assessed
different amounts. DR.. France contended
for the right OF the conference, not the
board of stewards, to make the appor-
tionment He also made the point that
many churches could not stand the strain
of the increased apportionments
