control of this dreadful and ravaging
disease Addresses which ought to be
widely circulated as public documents

accomplished the fight against con-
sumption is yet only just begun. The
housing problem which underlies it
still needs solution, and the made

The Board of Trade Meeting.

4 wholesome interest in local affairs

Questions taken BY the board at this
meeting was with reference to police and
iremen's pensions. a resolution being
unanimously adopted Endorsing the move
lent for the creation of a permanent

board wisely refrained from entering into
detailed consideration of this subject,
which is widely inclusive of many factors
