The forma! one for the remuneration of the mayor and aldermen was passed, jand in the weigh seale bylaw an amendment was made to provide for the users of coal of less than of the word “users” but was assured by the city so- licitor that it was a proper legal term. The amendment provides | that where less than a ton is taken the coal may be weighed by! a contrivance for the purpose carried on the wagon. Another minor point was remedied, that users do not have to be charged the weight of the sacks. The bylaw for the Section Two bridge, $30,000 was read a sec- ond time and will come up for its final passage at the next meeting of the council. The bill defining the duties of the city auditor was read a sec- ond time.

Within a month approximately 8,000 men will be working under the supervision of headquarters established here; busy complet- ing the links of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad, the steel of which is now less than 80 miles away. Five hundred scows are under construction between here and Tete Jaune Cache for distribution of railway equipment, and thir- teen gigantic steam shovel plants are being dismantled for ship- ment by water down the Fraser River to points where they will be utilized in the vigorous effort being made to complete rail con- struction into Fort Gorge by the latter part of August. Five hundred tons of supplies are being forwarded each week for the workmen whose activities will be directed from the new headquarters which Messrs. Foley, Welch & Stewart and asso- ciated contractors are now estab- lishing on the former Indian re- serve adjoining the townsite on the east. The contract for clearing the reserve has just been let to Messrs. Foley, Welch & Stewart, and preparations for this work are being made simultaneously with the ereetion of the new head. quarters, pay offices and supply bases for the contractors. To handle at Fort George the pay roll, estimated to exceed $25,000 ia day, additional banking facil. ities will be necessary and part of this need is expected to be met Farming Is Picking Up.

These men also will be under the supervision of headquarters at Fort George. CHARITY CHAMPIONS Can Supply the Milk and Eggs. In the “Journal” of this morn- ing Mayor Pattullo is reported as saying at the council meeting last night that Finlay Munroe, the indigent about whom there was considerable discussion, would probably be provided with a small house and with eggs and milk. What Mayor Pattullo ac- tually said was that the man would be supplied with the reg- ular fare that is ordinarily sup- plied to such persons and that probably charitably disposed people might supply him with eges and milk. Mr. Pattullo per- sonally has already done more than his share in looking after the comfort of the unfortunate man. If the aldermen who were solicitous on behalf of Mr. Munroe do half as well the latter is not likely to suffer materially in the immediate future. 80 Funeral This Afternoon, The funeral of the late James Reid of Masset, who died at the hospital on Sunday morning took place from Hayner Bros.’ chapel at 1:30 this afternoon.
