Quebec and Ontario provinces for

Track employees of the Canadian Pa
cific through Quebec and Ontario
have been ordered into the widespread
hunt.
Railroad Men Aid.
Ten thousand officers, contractors,
and employees who are building the
national trans-continental railroad
joined the ranks of the searching ar.
my today.
The vague report reached Supt. J.
E. Rogers, of the provincial police,
according to advices from Toronto,
that the America II may have landed
in the Northern district, the exact 10
cation not being given.
According to the report reaching
Supt. Rogers two balloons descended
in the Northern district. One of these
was accounted for in the landing of
the Swiss balloon, Azurea near Bisco-
tasing, Ont.
Supt. Rogers, upon request of the U.
s. government, transmitted through
the Dominion government, orders for
all his men to keep sharp watch and
report Immediately. Little hope il
contained in this report.
Every foot of Canadian territory
where the balloon could have possibly
landed will be searched in the most
thorough manner. The country will
be laid out in blocks and lakes Huron
and Superior will be patrolled by
boats.
The question which mostly concerns
the searchers is:
Which way did the American II
drift? She may have followed the
northeastern trend or she may have
been driven north. American tugs will
be utilized in searching the lakes.

Mayor Zimmerman Alleges
that the Bill Passed by
Council Is Not Legal.
CALLS SHEDS DANGEROUS
AND CITES A SUPREME COURT
DECISION SUPPORTING HIS &C.
TIoN-coUNciL MAY PASS IT
OVER VETO.

Mayor Zimmerman vetoed the shed
ordinance amendment this morning be
cause he said the amendment was IL
legal and that sheds over sidewalks
are dangerous In case OF fire. This
amendment was before council severa
months and finally passed. against the
advice OF the Mayor, three weeks ago
It provides that an ordinance passed
In 1889 prohibiting shed awnings from
being built over side walks. be amend
ed SO that sheds may be used on all
streets but Main street.
In his reasons for the veto Mayor
Zimmerman quotes supreme court
decision. which says only necessary
obstructions, as sewers. gas pipes. and
shade trees. are legal on Main street
He holds that this clause cuts out shed
awnings. The mayor writes:
"A long shed not for the purpose OF
protection Of the public Is to be erect
ed. The court does not make any dis
tinction as to one street from another
And I would ask. What's the differ.
ence between Main and any other
street? How soon until North Ninth
North Eighth, Seventh or Sixth be.
come business streets. Richmond is
becoming more metropolitan every day
and is to be classed with, cities, not
country towns.
Look to the future as to the past.
As to consulting with the chief of the
fire department with reference to OBJ
struction in case Of fire a most i'm.
portant matter. and further the posi-.
tion OF the supreme court decision. in
which Is clearly denied the right to
make such ordinances I am advising
against this act. After hearing the
reasons for vetoing the ordinance l
hope the council will consider the
danger 1t makes by fire to property"
When the amendment passed coun-
Gil the vote in favor of 1t was unani-
nous and there is said to be little
doubt but that the ordinance will pass
over the Mayors veto.

Probably there will be fight over
the possession of the territory, as 1t
is valuable. 1t is owned by the Rich

opening up part OF the land for the
purpose of establishing gravel pit

the answers showed that red cedar
block is the most satisfactory. The
