Routine Meeting
Citv Government

The August meeting OF the HALO
we'll city government was routine
meeting with little Of special interest.
Roll of accounts No. Z. amounting TO
s4o4o.49, was read and passed. The
New England Tel & Tel. Co. presented
a petition for an extension of Its lines
on Central street. A hearing on the
matter was set for August 26. Petit
ton for light on Middle street near
Nv opposite the lane to +. c. Moores
property. signed by r. NJ. johnson and
25 others, was refused, also one at the
corner of Summer and Chestnut
streets. A resolution was introduced
by Alderman Leigh Weber which had
TO do with the doing away as soon as
possible with crossings Objectionable
and dangerous to yehicular tr3ffic ana
replacing them with semi-permanent
type. Another resolution by Alderman
Frank Babbitt empowered the hign-
WAYS committee to ascertain the funos
on hand for work on streets and SIDE
walks for the remainder OF the year
and to plan with the street commits
sioner what work in that line should
be undertaken. It was found that
perhaps some ordinances passed in re-
cent years might not be valid, par
ticulariy one concerning street signs.
A committee consisting Of Aldermen
Weber, Babbitt and Turner was APP
pointed by Mayor Tilden to review the
ordinance and present a substitute
also to 60 over the various ordi-
nances. 1t is probable that a revised
edition Of these ordinances will be pub
lished later

By Wide Margin
| In New Brunswick

st. John, N. B., Aug. 11.-(AP)-
Complete returns today in New
Brunswick's provincial election gave
the Conservative party an over
whelming victory over the Liberals,
which, coupled with previous land
slide by the Conservatives in Nova
Scotia in June, has completely
changed the political map of the
provincial governments of Canada.
The three elections held this year
have driven from power two Liberal
governments of long standing and
have given the Liberals victory in
but one province, Saskatchewan.
Although the dominion govern
ment is still Liberal. the Conserva-
tives now hold power in four pro-
vinces, the Liberals three and the
Progressive Farmers two provinces.
The lineup now is: Conservative:
Prince Edward Island, New Bruins
wick, Nova Scotia and Ontario:
Liberal: Quebec, Saskatchewan and
British Columbia; Progressive-Far-
mer: Manitoba and Alberta.
The Conservative victory in New
Brunswick gives the party 36 out
of the As members of the legislature,
while Liberal Premier p. J. Venict
was the only one of his cabinet to
survive the polls. He will resign
soon and give way to J. B. NJ. Bax-
ter, Conservative leader.
The chief issue of the New Bruns-
wick campaign was the water power
developments of the st. John river
at Grand Falls under provincial
government auspices. The Conser-
vatives, opposed to government de-
velopment, have threatened to cam
cancel preliminary contracts let by
the Veniot government.
The Liberals have been in power
in New Brunswick since 1917.

Heavy Rain Delays
Work Depot Square

The heavy downpour of Tuesday
afternoon interfered with many diff
ferent lines of work about town.
Perhaps one of the most noticeable
was the work in Depot Square. When
the shower struck, the men all ran
for shelter and in a short time the
piles of material in the square look
ed like little islands in lake and
after 1t was over the men had to
bail out the several places before
they could proceed with the work. A
party on the Brunswick road
brought in bag Of hail stones much
larger than peas and reported the
shower was very heavy in that Sec
ton, the road being full of leaves
and twigs from the trees. The crops
are thought to be ruined in that
section. Lightning struck a set of
buildings owned by Horatio Allard
in Litchfield and they were burned
but were said to have been unoc-
cupied.
