have had a stand in King street market for eighteen
years and though have heard OF parties paying as nigh
as sos for stand have never seen anything Of the
kind done Where such is the case, it is the fault of
the renter who wants particular stand and offers the
clerk Of money to get IT, Clerk Lowe said in his
office one day that he been offered S25 for GER
stand but had refused IT, as he would not move any
OF the old renters for money
I never saw any clerk of the market going round
with basket collecting stun for himself or anybody
else.
All we need is to have the present laws enforced.
That speaks well for the Clerks of the Market so far
as they have come beneath the observation Of Mr..
Rentoeh It is however by no means conclusive. II
he has heard Of persons paying as high as $25 for
stand in the market when $3.50 the legal charge he
should communicate the information he has to those
who are conducting the investigation so they may see
II they cannot the and make of them sub

Mr. Rentoul should bear in mind that public official
who accepts bribe Of s25 that is offered by farmer
who wishes choice stand in the market is almost as
bad as one who solicits such bribe and that in any
event he proves himself to he crook who is unworthy

who pays the bribe should be sent to jail
The farmers who street markets and the
householders who buy In them have vital interest IN
keeping them free from graft and other abuses. The

We the board to be helpful in promoting public

into partnership with every big corporation it IS our
duty to see that the men this board will not use

There is but one way the people can correct and

When King Ludwig OF Bavaria gave
instructions for the building Of the
palace at Munich, he said Build
me a palace in which nothing within
or without shall be Of transient fash
ion or interest; palace for my pros
terity and my people as well as my
self; of which the decorations shall
be durable as well as splendid, and
shall appear one or two centuries
hence as pleasing to the eye and taste
as they do now" II George " had
been in position to give similar in
structiOns to the builders when he
transformed Buckingham House into
a palace, the present building of
new facade to the royal British resi-
dence would not have been necessary.
The palace at Munich remains a thing
of beauty for all time, but Bucking-
ham Palace has had the fates against
it. Repeated attempts have been
made to improve it, but still it is mot
beautiful"
Those who expect to find It grand
and romantic looking. with towers and
turrets. pillars and carvings, wonder
why Queen Victoria did not pull it
down and build a real" palace But
there it is, pile of gray, bare ugli-
ness.
Now the British government plans
to give some real beauty to the bare
east front It is to be rebuilt of Port
land stone, and there will. be twenty
four Corinthian columns, to give a
classic and imposing effect. The lay
ing out of the ground by the Victoria
Memorial Committee and the erection
of the memorial itself has already
given a sense of spaciousness to the
surroundings of the palace, and with
new front it will be worthier home
for a king.
When first built by the Duke of
buckingham, the palace was the talk
of the town. Its rooms we're sumptu-
Gus for a private residence, and its
situation beautiful. The grounds then
