Fuvors Present Council.
In the house Is a strong feeling that
the present council Of defence has
done good and patriotic service and
that il should be continued in being
but no bill TO that end has material
lied. II Is considered logical that the
governor, whose office appointed the
membership Of the present council
has power TO do what he would with
the organization, even TO the extent OF
changing it TO suit his personal and

There is mutual complaint that the
legislature and dairy interests are
taking little interest in the bill pro-
posed for regulation of creameries and
milk production This was brought in
at the request OF a local association
