COUNCIL HOLDS — ” LATE SESSION . LAST MONDAY
;
,
Make Grant fo Firemen for Sports Day---Will Proclaim Holiday for Clean-up Day ---Date Set for Holding By- Election.
The council’ held a midnight session at .its regular meeting last Monday evening and many questions were up for discussion.
Mayor Bott occupied the. chair and the following councillors were pres- ent: Messrs. McLachlan, Hodge, Ire- land, Devitt and Robertson. °
After the adoption. of the minutes of the previous meeting Councillor Mclachlan reported from the fire bri- gade. He stated that it was the in- tention of the brigade to hold a sports day on May 24th, and that they were desirous of securing a. grant
~ from the council for the this purpose.
The mayor said that since the brigade was a volunteer one and since the members had worked hard and faith- fully in the discharge of their duties in protecting the property of our cit- izens, he thought the council should recognize their efforts in some tang- ible way and give them every en- couragement in their undertaking, The motion of Councillors McLachlan and Ireland that the council grant the firemen $75.00 | was. carried unan- ‘imously, _ -
The. gas fitters’ bylaw was iptro- duced and given its first reading. On motion of Councillors” Hodge and)
Robertson a change was made in the :
“bylaw allowing housekeepers. “to do their own minor work without pro- curing a.license but that same must
a! be subject to inspection and penalties
Couneillor ‘Hodge as eininna of
the water committee, suggested that
the solicitor be instructed to draw up
a bylaw giving the council authority to charge up all arrears for water rates, to the property. The— water committee. also recommended: the water rate for those on the water “line but not connected be $3,00 per quarter. It was decided,. however, by the council to stay with old rate of
$4.50 per quarter, allowing the usual |
discount. The committee -reported
that the account against Mr. Gough |.)
for work in corinection with the rink
had not as yet ‘been paid and the!
solicitor was instructed to prosecute if settlement were not made at once: . Councillor Devitt, chairman of the sanitary committee, reported that on the advice of the provincial health de-
‘partment, steps should be taken to |:
test all milk gold in town. The mat-
* ter was left with Dr. Brown to ar-
range for testing. The committee also reported that complaints had n registered about some cesspools not’ being properly attended to and the satiitary inspector was instructed
‘ to prosecute all who did not live up to . the bylaw in this respect. The com- mittee recommended that: clean-up day be held this spring and that the day be proclaimed a public ‘holiday. This suggestion was fay- orably received by the council and a motion Was passed authorizing the mayor to proclaim the first Monday ‘in May as a public holiday for this pur, ose. On the
- sanitary committee a committee of councilors Devitt, Hodge and the mayor, was appointed to look into the advisability of purchasing a. team of
horses and suitable wagon for doing’
the scavanging and also to look into the sanitary conditions with the object of suggesting question of regulating the weight of bread was up for discussion and a committee appointed to look intp_ the matter, The question of hens running at large was brought to the attention of the council by the committee and it “was decided-that after the first of horil all hens must be kept penned up, otherwise those allowing them to run at large will be prosecuted,

: Seed Oats Now
a - . .
Being Distributed The distribution of seed grain is now going: merrily on at this point. Four cars of oats are ‘already here, and farmers are ‘taking it away so as to He in shape to handle/the wheat
‘hak it arrives, ~ The distribution of this seed is be- ing handled from Winnipeg, and men are sent out fro’mthere to look after it. It was the intention to have these men go from place to place, but ow- ing to the breaking up of the roads they wére not able to proceed as quickly as was ‘expected. They were to have been here ten days ago, and as the delay was putting the farmers to all kinds of inconvenience the Re- view got in communication with Nel- son Spencer of Medicine Hat to see if
-| he would use his influence in bringing
about some change in the plans whereby the idstribution could be started at once.- It was only a mat- ter of a few hours till’ we got word from "Mr. Spencer that arrangemenis had “been made to start at once, and on Monday at noon Mr. G. Howson, immigration officer: for this. district, arrived and started to work. About twenty-five farmers were made happy that afternoon, and: ever since there has been a steady stream to the of- fice opened ‘up on Fifth street, near the station. All those who have not yet ved ‘their oats should do so as soon as ‘possible.
Although the seed wheat has not
yet arrived it is expected any day, and Mr. Howson will remain: here _ till every farmer has received his allot- ment. Owing to the breaking up of the roads it has been necessary for a number of the farmers to store their grain here for the present.

There is probably no institution in tween Winnipeg and Vancouver, and

That compaany ix not slow in figuring out the towns which are going ‘to be revenue protlucing for the company and to offer them every inducements in their undertak- ings. In this respect the C.P.R, has evidently been keeping its eyes on} Redcliff, and as a result we ate able to announce this week that so far as freight rates are concerned Redcliff is now classed as a distributing point in the same class as Winnipeg, Bran- don, Regina, Moose Jaw, Medicine Hat, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, and other large centres of the west.
Divisional .Freight Agent John Halstead, of Calgary, was here a fow weeks ago on his regular trip, and Mr. Morrell, our local agent, who is always looking after Redcliff’s inter- ests, drew his attention to the exist- ing freight rates and to Redcliff’s present position as a manufacturing centre, .Mr, Halstead was not slow to take in the situation, and immediately proceeded to revise the tariff rate.

Russian Answer Is “Eye for an Eye.”

Russia will counter with equally dras- tie operations ‘against East Prussian towns. Petrograd papers call upon the government to adopt a strict “eye for an eye” policy, and urge the grand duke’s armies to follow the German example and burn three villages or ‘estates for each one levelled by the enemy. |
The German charge that Russian troops in northeast Prussia pillaged and burned is met with indignant de- nials. If the Germans do not abandon thein announced plans of destruction, *) the next Russian army crossing the Prussian border will leave in its wake a trail of ashes. The Russians say the Germans cry out about devasta- tions on account of disappointment at-their defeat north of ‘Tilsit.

PAY YOUR TOWN RATES.
J udging from reports brought in by the different. committees torthe council from time to time the town officials are experienc- ing some difficulty and no inconvenience by our citizens not paying their water rates and other obliga- tions promptly. There seems to be a tendency: not only here but in all towns and cities to stand off all civic payments as long as possible, and, if possible, to try to get out of paying them altogether. This is not only a mistake, but it is unfair to one’s self and to the town, The town Its obli- - gations must be met; its im- provements kept up; its staff paid. There are dozens of rea-
all the money that is coming to it if the town is to keep up its end and the councillors are to
.do what the ratepayers expect
them to do. ~~ All these things require money, and asthe town has to depend on the ratepayers to get that money it is easily seen how their work is retarded when-it is not forthcoming. _.~
‘A WARNING.
The present indications are that every one in-town who pos- sibly can will have a garden of some sort this coming summer, Some intend going into the gar- den business on a large scale and _ ‘others will just zo into it in the ordinary way to proville the nec- essary vegetables for summer use and to lay a supply by for the winter. The move in
this‘direction is a wise one and|
will go a long way to improve conditions next fall and winter.

inforcing the bylaw in this re- ‘spect this summer. no use encouraeing the people to go into this line of business un- less they are protected as far as possible and it is the intention of the council to do so. The council acted wisely in instruct- ing: the pound keeper to pay . strict attention to these nuis- ances from now on.. It ig not the intention of the. officer to empound hens found running at large but simply to prosecute the owners of them. This may prove a great deal more expen-
‘sive than fencing in the fowl.
———— A GOOD LESSON.
The result of the voting on the bylaws last Monday nof only ly shows that a- large percentage of the ratepayers are in favor of them, but it also shows how essential it is for the ratepayers to turn out and Vote on every bylaw submitted to them. There is no doubt that the reason the deficiency bylaw was defeated when first put to the burgesses was that a large number of the

i, THE NEXT COUNCILLOR.
Since the retirement of Mr. Black from the — council there has been much speculation as to whom his successor ‘will ‘be. We understand that a number of our leading ,citizens are en- deavoring to induce éx-councillor Lavell to allgw his name to go before the electors. There’ is probably no man in town at-the present time who could render the town bettey service under existing conditions than:Mr. La- vell. He has served the town faithfully and well in the past, and is familiar with its business and condition, He is also well posted on the town’s bylaws and municipal laws, and is thus in a position to get right into the harness at once. Mr. La- vell’s defeat at the last election was due to a combination of causes, but to none, possibly, than the one referred to in our editorial under the heading “A Good Lessén.” If Mr. Lavell can be induced to stand the ‘Re- view feels, like many of the rate- payers, that he should get the
election by acclamation. S ———— a
TWO KINDS OF COURAGEr
In addressing the directors of |: his. company, ©. H. Harriman, the great railway magnate, said:
“Tt requires two kirids of cour~
‘}age to conduct the affairs of a
raitr; system. One kind required to cease making
provements and _ purchasing equipment when’ business is heavy, labor and materials high, and money in demand. It te- quires another kind of courage to spend money for improve-
is
there is little business’. But it|” is then that material supplies and equipment are cheap, labor is cheap and money not dear. In ‘this situation stockholders may be saved from 10 to 20 per cent in expenditures, a ‘that is a isn’t it?”
. What is rigs a railroad in this respect is also true of a town. Mr. Harriman’s advice might well be taken by a num- ber of towns and cities through- out Canada at the present time. As a member said on the floor of the federal house the other day: “Nothing can be gained by our standing idle and being pes- simists. Let us do our best. to meet the unique situation of the
reason for F congratulation in af- ter years.”
, What we need now in Canada is mutual confidence. Each man putting his shoulder to the wheel and doing his share of the work to help things along, in- ‘stead of hanging back and find- ing fault and predicting all kinds of blue ruin for those who have the courage to try to start some- thing.

Now that spring has every appearance of being here to stay it would be well for our citizens to make an early start in getting their back yards cleaned up.
