mier admitted in the house of com
mons that British tonnage is made
quate for both general needs and mill
tary purposes, and that the stock of

measures, he said, could avert disas-
ter.

MT. zalaha suggested a system of monthly reports to be made by the water superintendent, showing frequent "Weir" readings as to the amount of water running into the res ervoir and daily readings as to the amount taken out of the reservoir.
 No action was taken upon this sug- gestion. It was moved by Zalaha, seconded by Quay that the prelimin- ary report of the Investigating com- mittee be. accepted and that the sug- gestion made by MT. Dolan be adopt ed-the test to be completed by May 10, with the understanding that, if it were not satisfactorily shown by said test, that sufficient water would be obtained from the spring, then sur face water should be turned back in.

 CD To attend for the full period of three months.
 (2) To accept in the Officers Re- serve Corps any commission rendered at the close of the instruction.
 Transportation

After being accepted as an attendant, he has the privilege of purchasing this uniform from the Government at cost price, plus 10f6, which will amount to about s15.00. A pending law provides for reimbursing those who have purchased their uniforms in advance.
