Alderman Douglas was mistak-
en about the amount of the fine.
It was $50. The city solicitor
hastened to correct him, Alderman
Douglas eyeing him keenly the
while. ‘‘Don’t look at me so
closely,’’ seid Mr. Peters sharply,
“T had nothing to do with it.”

Not Police’ Fault

It occurred to Alderman Doug-
las that the objections raised might
reflect against the police force
by leading to the impression that
they were lax. This he was anx-
ious to prevent. ‘‘Prince Rupert,”
he said, “has got a pretty good
police force now, and I would
be sorry to think that they were
censured over this. But,’’ he went
on with rising resentment in his
voice, ‘I have reason to believe
that the magistrate when this
case came up, reprimanded the
Chief of Police-for having acted
without first telling him ebout
it,”

Strong for Square Deal

“IT am ‘anxious to see every-
body have a square deal as far
as may be possible in the city.
This idea of pulling up six men
and fining them while the magis-
trate reprimands the Chief of
Police for having done his ab-

 

THROUGH

Without much difficulty the Sea-
venging By-law got through its
final stages in council last night.
It will come into force shortly.
Most of che interest centered about
the amendment introduced by the
Mayor and known as Section 26.
This amendment simply provides
that all disputes in regard to the
scavenging work must be settled
by the Medical Health Officer.

Very Simple

“Section 26," is the answer to
all enquiries regarding the working
of the scavenging contract in the
city.

If you find yourself overcharged,

‘solute duty, looks as if the whole
enforcement of civic laws is to
be confined to the hands of one
man who would constitute him-
self Prosecutor, Judge, and Jury.
This sort of thing is not to be
allowed if our community is to
stand out as one in which the
principles of right and wrong
are properly maintained.”

A subdued murmur of applause
broke out amongst quite a num-
erous audience, at this, and Al-
derman Newton sat down.

Clayton's ‘‘King Bee”’
Alderman Clayton used even
stronger expressions. ‘‘Very well,”’
he said, ‘might the man who
owns the premises go up and pay
the fines of the whole bunch
sentenced. I want to find out
what sort of spell this man exer-
cises over the police force in this
city to escape prosecution.”

The City Solicitor—‘‘He was
prosecuted. I laid the prosecu-
tion myself.”

Alderman C ayton—‘‘Why the
man must be King Bee of gambling
in this city. I mean to push this
thing to the limit. It is time
something was being done to put
right such a situation in the city.”

Mayor’s Magic Amendment ‘Section Twenty-Six ”’
Throws Onus of Settling all Disputes Upon the
Medical Health Officer—The Scavenging
Charge is 50c a Month

Charge for Scavenging

In the words of the City Sol-
icitor the clause in the by-law
covering charges for domestic scav-
enging is summed up thus: “The
total charge per month for dom-
estic scavenging is fifty cents.
The scavenger must do everything
for fifty cents a month. He must
do whatever the Medical Health
Officer says should be done. If
the Medical Health Officer says
he must call every day, then
every day he must call, and the
charge must not exceed fifty cents
per month,”
For the other premises men-
tioned specifically where the charge
