Mr. Oakley had been appointed building in- spector by the council, to fill in his time in the engineering de- partment, and there should have been some formal action on the part of the council to displace him and make a new appoint- ment to the position.

Mr. Bowser wired that in November last the city, when apply to issue treasury certificates, gave an order to the government on the Bank of Mon- treal for $124,000, money due the government. “As you know, we have not been paid, through your not making a sale. Before we can approve of your sale of another issue of treasury certi- ficates we wish you to forward us your order on the Bank of Montreal, asking them to pay us out of the first proceeds from treasury certificates no matter of which issue. Kindly forward order.” Acting Mayor Naden said that in his opinion the amount in question could not be paid to the government unless an enabling Continued on page 4) FORMALITIES T0 BE OBSERVED AS TO TREASURY CERTIFICATES AN ENABLING MUNICIPAL ACT REQUIRED BEFORE THE CITY iG TO THE PROVINCIAL MENT act was passed for the purpose. He had seen as many members of the council as he eould upon the subject so as to be able to wire the attorney-general what the council would do in the mat- ter. He had then wired Mr. Bow- ser that if the government would undertake to pass such enabling act the city would undertake to turn over to the government the sum due out of the first sale of treasury certificates. The action of the acting mayor was approved by the council but Ald. Maitland again took the op- portunity of protesting against the authorization given to the mayor by the council, to sell the before-mentioned certificates “on such terms and at such price as he saw fit.” Ald. Bullock-Webster spoke in a similar strain. He said he had voted against the resolution re- carding the negotiations with the government in the hope that it would tie up the matter and the mayor be unable to sell the treas- ury certificates.
