DAILY EDITION A recognized reward Our Pentagon! are priced ox, $7 to Sjco of merit Friday, Oct. 14, 1927 NEW CONSERVATIVE LEADER Hon. R. B. Bennett is a Conservative, tthere is no doubt of that, and the party in to be congratulated on having a man at the head in whom they can depend rather than one who has come over from the other (ride. Mr. Bennett ib an orator, a millionaire, and a man of high standing in his party and throuirhout the Dominion. He is a leading lawyer and man of affair, having a good deal to do with the operations of big businew. The fact that he is a lawyer is sometimes counted against him but if so the same thing may be against Premier King and dozens of other leading men of the Dominion. He is a westerner but his work has been largely in the flt of late and his sympathies are with the manufacturer of Ontario rather than with the fanners of the. prairies where his home is supposed to be. On the whole, we do not see that' from the list of names presented, the Conservatives could have chosen better than they did. At any rate they have a real leader and one who is sufficiently independent to refuse to have anyone else usurp his position. SCHOOMiOAKI) AND COUNCIL There has at various times been friction between the city council and the school board over the matter of expenditures. The council has taken the stand that K is supreme and that the council is subsidiary' to it. The cafe has been fought out again and again but in practically every case the school board has won. It has been shown that while the city council collects the money and pays the bills, the school board is supreme when it comes to deciding how the expenditure shall be made and how much shall be spent. The most common source of trouble is the procedure under which extraordinary expenditures are made. If the school board wishes .a new building, additions or large renewals to buildings, making of playgrounds or any other cxienditure which may not be classed as ordinary expenditure it makes an estimate of the proposed cost and gives detail of the proposed work and sends it to the city council asking that body to provide for it. If the council feels that it cannot do so out of ordinary expenditure, which is usually the case, it refuses to include the Item and notifies the school board of the refusal. Then it is the duty of the council, according to law, to pass a bylaw which it puts before the people for them to vote on, to say whether, or, not the extraordinary expenditure shall be made. The council has no option in the matter. In the case in dispute between the city and the school board it seems that the city failed in its duty in not formally notifying the school board of its refusal to Include an estimate of $10,000 for additions to a school building, for making playgrounds and for the installation of a heating plant in one of the schools. It also failed in its duty in not putting before the people a bylaw providing for the expenditure of that amount if the people so wished. The people have the say and not the cky council. The powers of the city council are limited to those matters provided under the Municipal Act and the school board is supreme in its own particular department, the chief difference between an alderman and a school trustee is that while 'the alderman is paidTor his work the scho61 trustee works without pay. But the trustee sits back and kicks his heels while the alderman faces the responsibility of raising the money. MARINE BIOLOGICAL BOARD The Marine Biological Board of Canada is an organization founded by Act of Parliament apd which operates under the Minister of Marine and Fisheries. It is composed of men of science from the various universities of the Dominion, representatives fr.om the fishing Industries on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, and re preventatives from the Department of Marine and Fisheries. Its function is to .conduct and promote the study of problems which have to do with the aquatic life and the utilization of the products of the sea, as well as the fresh waters, in order that knowledge rrmybe obtained which will enable the fullest and wisest use pfUh'isJgreat natural resource. Its work is divided into two main parts first, the study of the lives and habits of Jinirmds before they are cauirht. arid. sprnnH fH study of the, utilization .of-these ;anim'al8anu their productsafter J mey are caugm. ine lormer study is carried on in the biogolical stations, whrch are located at Nanaimo, B.C., and St. Andrews, N.B. The latter study is conducted in the fisheries experimental stations which are located at Prince Rupert, B.C., of which D. B. Finn is director, and at Halifax, N.S. On the Pacific coast, the various scientific workers meet together once a year in order that they may benefit by an exchange of ideas and that they may be kept informed of work which is being undertaken in fields other than their own. Such a conference was held recently in the biological station at Nanaimo and a series of four articles to be published in the Daily News, starting tomorrow, have their foundation in the reports which were presented there.

"No Cats Wanted" is a sigu hung on the editorial rooms of the DaUy News office. Also the downstairs staff la instructed to allow no one carrying a cat to paas upstairs and anyone mentioning the i word "cat" Is to be summarily ejected from the premise. It all arose thuswlse. One of the members of the editorial staff required a cat. Mice had invaded the domestic quarters and none of the friends could supply the immediate need although It was suggested by leveral that If an' order was put in at once a few dozen could be guaranteed within two or three weeks. Not wishing to wait that long a miniature advertisement was inserted, costing under protest the sum of fifty cents. The result was instantaneous and complete.1 So great was the pressure on the tele-1 phone that the staff very soon vacated the premises and allowed the telephone to ring and ring. Finding efforts to place the cats by telephone useless they began to arrive in sacks and bags and baskets and the end is not yet. No member of the staff Is now safe from danger of finding a cat thrust Into his pocket or placed trustingly In his arms by some person wishing a good home for the feline. Cats not wanted" will have to be hung around the necks of members of the staff If the trouble continues. 'And It all began over one little classified advertlsment inserted once and costing fifty cents. LOCAL MAN PRESIDENT OF DISTRICT COUNCIL K. I'ltrker, Cli""'!! Head of Central it.C.
