Municipal Chapter The burning of the $1000 mortgage on the hall owned by them was the feature of the annual meeting of the 1. 0?D..t! Municipal Chapter, held last night, with Mrs. Shelfo'rd Darton presiding. It was a memorable occasion, the actual ceremony being carried out by Mrs. A. IV Parkin, past municipal regent, during whose regency the hall was erected. The mortgage has been hanging over them for the past three years and the final payment , was made possible through receipt of the proceeds of the play "Green Stockings" last week at the Capitol Theatre. The haul . is now completely clear of edness. The meeting, which wus well attended, also heard the address of the national regent, Mis M. Church, read by Mrs. Brady. In connection with the mortgage burning ceremony, Mrs. Darton spoke as fellows: "I am sure you all feel this to he one of the proudest momenta of our lives as Daughters of the Empire in Prince Rupert. "We have reached another mile-cone in the history of our chapter, The dream which many of our old er members had of owning our own home has at last come true. It has been a long, hard pufL but 1 trust that a straight and level road lies-ahead of us. "The hall is renting well, especially so this last year, and should ibe able to pay its own expenses and also pay us a little interest on lour money, thus relieveing the chapter considerably. ;. - "We all feel that this is a very good way to celebrate our chapter's birthday. "Now. I'll ask Mrs. Parkin to step forward and put a match to the mortgage.
