A large number of citizens attend
ed the meeting of the Commercial
club last evening. In the absence
of President J. B. Nielsen and Secre-
tary C. A. Keene, G. e. Ball was
elected chairman and d. Donahue
was elected secretary pro tenn.
The frontage tax recently estab-
lished by the council was strongly
objected to as being too high. 1t
was generally considered that the
cost of intersections, hydrants and
incidentals should not have been
used as basis in figuring the
rate. 1t was not considered reason
able that the bulk Of the cost of
the water system should be borne
exclusively by the property owners
whose property was fanked by wa
ter mains. AS the homes on many
of the streets where no water mains
are laid are as completely protected
against fire as where mains are
laid.
Since the action of the council in
establishing a rate of SO cents per
foot frontage tax the citizens in
general have freely expressed the
opinion that the rate was too high.
A few weeks previous to the last
meeting of the council it was given
cut by members of that body that
Il rate of 40 cents would more than
cover the cost of the mains. This is
conceded to be sufficient still if the
intersections and hydrants are not
considered. No objection was raised
to the three-year payment plan
adopted by the council.
BY a unanimous vote of those
present the sense of the meeting
was expressed against the rate of
so cents frontage tax and in favor
of 40 cent rate. 1t was voted

by the chair instructed bring be-

Women, however, are not half SO
anxious as the men Of England to go to
Canada. 1t is estimated that fully $780,
900 English mechanics, farmers and la
borers will leave for the Dominion dur
ing the coming season.
BY direct route from London nearly
1900 passengers will start for Canada
in March, and in addition, during that
month about three thousand immi-
grants will reach that land of promise
via the United States.
The phenomenal immigration is at
tributed to the general prosperity and
immense advance in railway construc-
ton in Canada. Fully 30 per cent. of
these immigrants are skilled workmen,
and nearly all of them have means
upon which to subsist for months after
their arrival
There is no doubt that immigration
is being stimulated by English imperi-
alist organizations which expect

tralize the effects of the great rush
