In the absence of the President, W. H. Schmalz, the chair was occupied by Viceâ€"President, W. H. Breithaupt. He stated that the object of the meeting was to discuss the location of a site for the municipal _ buildâ€" ings. At first sight the expert, Mr. Leavitt, had suggested locating . it hetween Berlin and Waterloo, Bu® it had been pointed out to him _ that the city‘s buildings and property were all located in the neighbornood of Frederick street. The suggestion had then been made that the â€" locaâ€" tion be in the square bounded by Queen St. on the west, Duke St. extended on the south, Scott St. on the east, and _ Roy St. extended through to Spetz street on the north, One block in this proposed site is already public property, where ~ the court house is located, while both St. Peter‘s Luthoran and Trinity Methoâ€" dist Churches woulf be allowed to remain. Mr. Breithaupt pointed out that in having the above square as . the civic centre the churches would alâ€" ready be there, and that would mean so much less land for the city to purchase. He also putnted out that the land proposed would not be so costly as the lard on King street. Another strong feature of Mr. Leaâ€" vitt‘s plan was that there would be another main thoroughfare, when Duke street was extended. King street was previuasly the long thoroughfare,to Waterloo, when that place was the larger, and if the buildings were located on King St. it would make the load on that thoroughfare that much greater, whereas _ Duke street with _ Y***e change, could be made a main : The alleged charge of perjury preâ€" lerred against Rabbi Spector, . and which was adjourned last week until this morning, was dismissed by Magâ€" istrate Weir. The charge arose out ef the taking out of naturalization papers by Rabbi Spector in _ March 1911. The complainant claimed that the accused had not been in _ this rountry _ the necessary three years, whichk Mr. Spector admitted. . Howâ€" ever, the rabbi claimed he didn‘t unâ€" derstand the paper he sighned. Ald. C. C. Hahn testified that he was a Justice of the Peace, and had signed the afMdavit. In answer to Crown _ Attorney Bowlby, Mr. Haha said _ he wasn‘t sure that in taking the oath _ that Rabbi Spector had kissed the Bible. It was on this that the case was lost, as the rabbi said he did not kiss the Bible. > THIS ARTICLE REMOVED Dr. J. F. Honsberger, _ coroner, was notified, and after investigating decided that death was due to heart failure. An inquest was deemed unâ€" his 53rd year. He was a resident of Doon almost his entire lifetime and was unmarried, living with his sister in that village. Two brothers, Jacob of Doon, and Charles of Blair, also survive. The remains were removed to Doon vet y ‘ht. * Owing to the increased consumption of gas im Berlin. The Light Comâ€" mission must take steps in the near future to crect a new gas holder. The matter was discussed at the meeting last evening and the general opinion was that there was not suffiâ€" cient space on the present premises on Gaukel street for a holder of the size required. The Commission was _ informed that Mr. C. W. Leavitt, the _ civic improvement expert, recommends that the entire plant be removed:, to the outskirts. ; â€" Mr. A. R. Lang thought a nisâ€" take was made when the plant was not removed at the time the city took it over. ‘"Thousands of _ dolâ€" lars could have been saved," he said.
