 "We had an interesting conversa- ton with the Germans the other night. One of them was shouting and whistling, and we started to shout back. One of them shouted: "What lot are you, Kitchener's" So one of our chaps shouted back; No, we're Canadians. Then one of our chaps asked; Have you any Woodbines They said mo, but we have some whisky and cigars so our chaps yell ed; Bring some across Che of the enemy said, You come halfway and I will, and we won't shoot. So our men got over the parapet and they didn't shoot. What can you make of them"

AUDITING PROPERTY
BILL AGAIN URGED
Officials About Convinced
City Must Abolish Pres
ent Loan Plan
DECLARE OWNERS
WOULD PROFIT

In an effort to arouse the interest
of the taxpayers TO the necessity OF
having the next Legislature pass an
abutting property paving bill, Mayor
James r. Price. directors Of the street
and Sewer Department. and several
members Of City Council held a con-
ference In the Mayors Office last
night. II appeared to be the opinion
of those present that a-similar paving
law 70 that defeated atthe last session
OF the LEGISLATURE should be passed.
but whether such a bill will be pre-
pared and submitted TO that body in
1917 was not decided upon.
During the discussion It was
brought out that Il would cost the
owner of 16-foot front lot less than
S35 to nave the street in front OF the
lot and the property value would be
enhanced more than that amount Sta
tistics were presented showing that
the bonded debt Of the city az this
time for streets and sewers improve
monts was S2.32OOOO.
In view Of the fact that other de-
partments want large sums for inn
proyements. including the Water De-
partment II was pointed out that
there will have to be a halt before
long. and there appears to be little
hope of doing all that is necessary In
Tho way OF street improvements un-
less some new system Is taken up.
While the ahutting plan was dis
cussed generally. nothing definite was
decided upon. The statement was
made during the discussion. however.
that the cost 10 the owner Of a 16-fOOt
property would not be more than S32
or S35. and that his property would
be enhanced a great deal more than
that by modern paving.
Various plans OF interesting prop
erty owners in the matter were dis
cussed but nothing definite was de-
cided upon last night Il is proposed,
however. to hold similar conferences
from time to time. and IL is hoped
60 arouse widespread interest Il is
believed that when property owners
generally come to a realization of the
need OF some change in the system of
paving streets, there will be a great
deal more interest manifested.

number of children made it seem more
like real Mothers Meeting. One
said that she thought the children
should be a mothers first concern
and indeed we think so too.
Mrs. Mulligan, our vice president
called the meeting to order, and read
the 18th chapter of Hebrews and spoke
a few helpful words on the chastise-
ment of Gods children. Then a new
member expressed her views along
this line. Prayer was offered and The
Lords Prayer recited in concert. Then
we sang, Take 1t To the Lord in
Prayer. Reports of absent members
were given. Plans for a sale were
discussed. A committee was appoint
ed TO begin arrangements. Two mem
bers will visit Miss Metz. at 14O West
Gallon street, next week.
Miss Fell, now at Spring Lake
Mich, sent us a small donation and a
printed slip to read. but our time was
limited, and the program had to be
omitted.
