Their successors will, no doubt, seek to serve with equal diligence and faithfuiness. With the return of more prosperous times and the promising outlook for the next twelve months, Canadians enter the new year with cheerful hearts.

In the year 1914 the city had 2,882 fires ‘and its population was 595,600. At the close of last year the city‘s population is estimated at over 907,500 and the number of fires so far recorded indicate the total will fall below the 2,500 mark., In other words there were 472 ‘fires for every 100,000 residents of the gity in 1914, and toâ€"day there are but 285, a reduction of 187 or 33 1/3 per cent. ~ It is anticipated in fact that when the year closes the number of fires per 100,000 souls will be reduced to almost the same proâ€" portion as in 1905 when there were 273 fivres per 100,000, and when the city had a populaâ€" tion of 301,000 and fire hgzarfis were much less. â€" ~ The year 1914, say the was the peak for number of establishment of the Fire P1 the number of fires have st All fires of suspicious origin by the Bureau and where e can be obtained the ‘offenders to face cwith ,la“". y icn fires. Other cities of Montreal in i The Department of Immigration and Colonâ€" ization at Ottawa the other day announced a drastic reduction in ocean fares for immiâ€" grants to Canada. By cutting the rate from $85.00 to $15.00 it is now restored to the preâ€" war level when_ the: tide of immigration to Canada flowed_strongly. Although the British Governmentt, it is believed, is to a small extent, indemnifying the steamship companies for this rate cut, most of the reduction is being absorbed by the companies themselves. i9 wWei It has been recognized for some years that one of the greatest obstacles to increased imâ€" migratiofl were high transportation charges which together with the serfously reduced buyâ€" ing power of European money, made it very difficult to secure immigrants, | It is underâ€" stood that the cost of these subsidized pasâ€" sages will be met jointly by the British_ and Canadian governments. The agreement was1 arrived at under the Overseas Settlement Act and is on a fiftyâ€"fifty basis. _ _| | The â€" unusually Jow _ rates announced should stimulate, in a marked degree, the influx of iramigrants to Canada, increaséd efforts having for some time been directed towards securing settlers for the Dominion. Hon. Charles Stewart, acting Minister of Immigration, announces however, that . the government will still retain the right of inspecting immigrants entering Canada under the new Empire agreement. He also states that the agreement would give the Eastern Provinces an opportunity to secure some of the immignnts, -althougli most of them would naturally go West. x se The bountiful crop of 1925 has naturally materially brightened the outlook particularly for the Western farmer and he is looking to the new year with increased hopefulness. The West in all sections had a splendid holiday trade and merchants also are feeling ‘optimistic as to the year‘s outlook, & The extent .of the» textile business. in Canada is evidenced by the fact that it toâ€"day embraces 1700 mills emptoying.75,000 persons and represents an investment of nearly $270,;â€" 000,000.
