CONCRETING OUR STREETS.
During
the
last
few days
men
have
been busily preparing
that portion
cf
the
street that lies between
the King’s Whart
and
the Grand Hotel, for concreting.
When this part is finished
we
will
deed
have
a
fire stree*, stretching
as it
does almost
the entire lengrh of the city.
Os course,
many a good thing has aflaw,
and we make
bold to say
that in this case
the “‘flaw’’is
the
unsightly
appearance
the bud drainage gives a certain
part
of
the street
up town.
If this
can
be
recti-
fied we will certainly be made
much
more
happy
at the passine
s the “‘mud period’’
of our main st

The wuik of concreting the streets
gave
the u..ans of substenance
to many

SMALL BOY WOUNDED BY
UN
KNOWN THROWER OF MISSILE.
“Stones have noeyes;”” It is a pity that
the full meaning of this saying
never
oc-
curred
to so many of our youthfu! inhabi-
tants,
who, unmindful of the
dangers
of
stone throwing, simply
‘‘revels” in
the
sport.
Indulgence
in this
was t'ie
cause
of
a
little school boy, Ulrich Titz, receiving
a
severe
cut
near
his
right
eye
yesterday
when at play in the yard jof the
seventh
Day Adventist School.
The
wound
bled
profusely
and
as the teacher
of the school
was unable
to staunch
the flow of
blood,
she was compelled
to take the littie fellow
to Miss Waterbury.
This kindly disposed lady, we
are
glad
to
say,
soon
had
the bleeding checked.
The
thrower
of the
missile
w
s
not
found up to late yesterday
and
the
mat-
ter
is
still under police investigati:

The

Ottawa,
March

resolution
amounting
to a vote of confidence,
moved
in the
House
yesterday
by
Colonel
Ar-
thur and seconded
by Mr. H. H. Stevens,
both
Conservatives,
was
defeated
by a
vote
of
162
to 42.
'The majority of 120
secured
by the
Government
is staled
to
be the largest registered
on
a
non-confi-
dence
motion since
eonfederation.
Opin-
ion in the corridors
last
night
is
that
it
pecaliarly
illustrates
the
strength
of
a
solid progressive
vote
cast
in
a
House
eonstituted
like
the
present.
The
reso-
lution
was
in
amendment
to
a
vote to
oo into supply.
It brought
up again
the
guestion of whether
or ot Liberals, prior
to the elections,
had promised
cash

Berlin, Mareh 28th.—Chancellor

told

Repaiations
Com-
mission,
for
an
additional tax
levy
of
80,000,000 marks,
transmitted
to the Ger-
man
Government
last
week,
was
abso-
lately
impossibie.
Dr.
Wirth
said
the
Reparations
Commission
by
granting
a
moratorium,
might have
contributed
to
t
e ‘stabilization gs
Germany’s
financial
vosition but that by
its conditions
it had
done the opposite,
although
parhaps
un-
wit.ingly.
