January, 1917. of Diamonds Class Meats By Vote of Nine to Five the Amendment ‘to Motion to Grant Four Mills as Requested by Bir Herbert Ames and Large Deputation Was Carried. _ Double Last Year‘s Grant. ] dmvm-nlnr Lackner, _ who was lhp‘ proposer of the amendment, was tlleI first to discuss the issue. Unlike those who followed him in the successful el’-! fort to defeat the four mill grant hé did not show the same warmth over the task. He merely stated that with regards to the motign, proposed by Councillors Oaks and Hallman, he wished to state that some considered the amount rather high. He said that he therefore thought that by doubling the amount of last year‘s grant the Council and the County would do their share. "I am sure," he ‘Qld. "the amount. we propose to give by the two mills is no niggardly amount. This will not be the last time we will be called upon to make granis. We may + â€" Must Protect the County. ; Councilior Reidel!, who showed con-\< siderable solicitude in the framing of ‘ the amendment, was the next to speak. | He said: "It is the duty of the Counâ€" â€" ty Council to protect the County. . It is also the duty of the County Council . to defend the municipalities. I am not | against the Patriotic Fund or the Red ‘ Cross Fund. Relating to the making , of Iargg grants let me say that our‘ ratepayers have had to borrow money to run their farms owing to the poor" seagon last spring. Some of them are so bad off that they will have to appedl to the Government in the spring for free seed. I agree with Sir Herbert‘ Ames who said that we should feel it‘ when we give but I say that if we give , only one mill the ratepayers of my municipality will feel it very much.

Councilior Meyer, the seconder of ‘the amendment, also spoke to the quesâ€" tion. He said: "I agree with what ' Mr. Bohlender said on the whole. The matter can hardly be adjusted to suit Il.ll. By putting it on the taxes there are maily who escape. By the sub ,Iscrlption system the rich would be |compelled to pay their share while the lobby just previous to the meeting felt however, for he was not slow in lining up on the opposition being the strongâ€" est:spedker in opposition to the meaâ€" would support the resotutfon to grant poor man would get a‘ chance. We are drifting toward compulsory l‘nrs- sian militarism.

Janzen said: ‘"There mre a great many poor people who can‘t afford ‘to do much. The rich man should bear the burden.

The only way to win this war is to stand by our guns and supply the financial ammuniâ€" tion.. I cannot think that it will set ‘us back very much to make this grant. !lt will not even mean self denial to anyone in the County." f \ Councillior John, Taylor, jr., from North Dumfries, spoke in favor of four mills. He said briefly,‘"I do not lake mucha stocs in all this lalk about poverty. I do not think two milis would be a credit to this County." Dr. Oaks in Rebuttal. In rebutting the regaarks of those in opposition to the resolution Dr. Oaks took the floor and ‘said: "There\ are aomc) here who are accepting the proâ€" tection of.the British Flag and. who are not with us. In regard to the povâ€" erty in Wellesley cited by Mr. Reidel let me say that last spring was only bne spring. There are others coming and this money won‘t be assessed for a whole year.
