Production of and examination of

The Colonial Law specifies tue time for
vacancies occurring in the Council 10 be
filled. Paragraph "a of The Colonial Law
says in part:
Whenever a seat in the Council be

Such new elections as may be ne
cessary for filling vacancies that may
occur during the 3 last months previous
to the general election, may, however,
be postponed until the general election,
unless there are more than 3 vacancies
at the same time"
Ii seems to me that hat fixes the time
at which vancancies should be filled and is
the only authority for filling vacancies.
| nave searched the records for over
twenty years, and even when the ap-
pointment had to be made by Royal Re
solution, | can iud no instance, Wnere il

To quote one instance, under the former
admInistration the seat of the 2nd
Crown Member, the late Dr. KaImer, was
declared vacant on the 10Th of August,
1915, and was filled by Royal Resolution
on October LIST of the same year.

FRENCH LINE MAY QUIT
HAVRE AS HOME PORT
United States Plan Might Cause
De Luxe Vessels to Land
at Cherboure

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
HAVRE, August l. This city
especially its shipping circles, is agi-
tated because OF the possibility of the
French Line taking it's de luxe boats
to Cherbourg, leaving only the smaller
boats and cargoes TO port at Havre.
There has been much contradictory
talk concerning the scheme. but it is
now admitted that it is more than
runor. The United States Line. il is
said, has made proposals TO the Havre
authorities to dock their boats at this
port being unable to come to terms
with Cherbourg. This would be an
excellent thing for local trade, but
would also be close competition for
the French Line.
It is said the chamber of commerce
at Cherbourg intends to build new
quays in the Mielles Creek in such
manner that three of the largest YES
sells could dock at the same time
