LONDON, Sept. 14.- A despatch to
The Times from Paris says: “The General in Command of Paris has half n million fresh troops under his con- trol which will be used presumably in pursuing the enemy. The news that the German forces fronl Point~A- Mousson to Saint Die are falling back shows that five German Armies of Generals Von Kluk and Von Buelow Crown Prince Frederick William, Duke Wurternberg and that operating in Moselle, are in retreat.
“The difficulties of the retreating
army are many and there are good chances that the allies may allllihil- ate them before they reach the frollti- er. Tile Germans appear to be ab- andoning their natural route, in the Valley of the Olsen and are endeavor- lng to withdraw further eastward to the barren and difficult country of the Champagne, where the roads arc
poor. provisions scant, and beyond is the forest of Ardeilnes and to the east the wooded and clay bridges of the forest of Argonne, as formidable u. barrier to progress as any army could have. Beyond the River Meuse, most oi’ the bridges of which will be de- stroyed. If they actually have aban- doned Oise Valley. the German‘s lines of communication are reduced to 0116. .Passing by Givet Nanlur and Leige. The other passing Meseieres, Nontmedy and Luxemburg, next line to the south is commended by the guns of Verdun.

Mr. Acncas A. Mcllomilii. Si-i~rotar_v
of’ the l’rill<:o Edward island lionrd of Fire Undcrwriicrs. wrote it leiicr to thc (Ioullcil calllllp.: attention to illi- fact that file nliittcr of tho lnstzillal- tfon by thc city of’ Illlprovod fire up- pliuilccs llaid ncvcr been attcnilcd lo by tho lionril of "l‘ra<le. Tho Iloard of I“irr\. l'|ldcl“.vrit1.‘l‘s, thc loiicr sflllorl. wvrc about lo revise lholl' rules of values for insurilllro prclliiums in lilis city and it was required to bo known, before such ratings wore made, what thc city inicndml to do it-lrnrdiiig tho Installation of a cllonllral cligilic flrn alarm sysiclli and other llrt-niell's equipment, which it was understood alld promised would he provided when the fifty per cent. increase in the tax- es payable by illsuruncc companies to the city was resolved upoll. “Tho compnnlcs representing this Board," .colltlnllcd the letior, “object to this increase Ili thoir Iaxillioll. cspcclally as they pay a very high provincial tax, and these companies insist that the civic tax be reduced Io $50 por annum or rt cllcluicnl ongiilo and
(other fire equipment be insiallcd as
promised by the 1-ity Inst your to tho lloard of Trade; and In default of this being .provided by _vnu this lloard will be under the necessity, upon u rovi- sion of its Insurance rates, of putting a substantial lncrcnsr ml thc ratings In this city. Tho favour of all early reply is asked."
Councillor Rllcy did not think tllat
the taxi-s on the insurance companies should be redllcod. The fire insurance companies would not go to the Gov- ernnlunt and ask for a reduction of taxes, but when the (`lty insisted on their taxes hcre there was a general howl. l-lo saw no reason why the taxes should bs reduced. A chemical
IIII IIUUIIIIIL
engine would be gd: ...i fiom; ..._ pos~ sible. Consideration or this matter was deferred.
A resolution was moved by Council- or Jenkins and seconded by Council- lor McNcvill, in regard to a matter ,which had been before the Council oil a previous occasion, “That the Light Committee be authorized to re-ar- range if necessary the lights on Fitz- roy street between Edward and ,the railway crossing; also on Upper Hillsborough street, and to place an .extra incandescent light on such llunled streets if deemed possible by hc Light (.'ommittec." Couilclllor Jenkins, Chairman of iglits were needed near the railway und in several other localities alld he would ask the Cliairmall of the Light Coillilliltee to look into the matter.
g Councillor Jenkins, Chairinail of
the Light Coinlnittee, said in reply that llc was well aware tllat there l were it great many places in the city which ncodcd more light. No one un- `¢lcrslooii it better than he did, by rea- son ol’ thc many applications that he
was prepared, provided he was sup- ported by thc Council, to remedy the miitter as far as possible and to give light wlicrc it was urgently needed. lt _would be inlposslllle to consider every upplicntioli as it would involve un ex- pellditure oi' loo nlucli money.
Councillor Miller said it was not
proposed to relllovc any lights. Tho most important one was that near the railway crossillg. it was lliddcll, he said, by Mr. liodgson's lr_ees and thc bend of the road diverted the reflec- tion of tho light up the street. If it wore place-il on the opposite side of the street everybody would benefit cqilally »\vcll.
f'ouil<~iIlor Wright said that thc re-
ailjustlilclif. of thc light in Hillsbor- ough street would llavc-'the same cf- fcct as the rcadjilsinlcllt of the one at the ond of Kent street.
The resolution was put to the vote
and carricd unanimously.
Councillor Wright herc stated that
some time ago a. lllaitcr was brought up bcforc the Council with regard to -the furliinhiilg by Mr. Ilogg oi' chairs ‘iii the Marliet Building. Mr. Hogg ,had bccli given permission to order the clillirs, which were valued at about flftcon hundred dollars. The chairs had arrived and freight had to be paid on them.
lil regard to this matter Councillor
Wright moved, and (‘ouncillor McKen- na sccondcd, “That tho Recorder con- fcr with the Public Property Commit- tee rc thc re-seating of the Market Ilall, and make out it lease for the sumo at an advanccnlent of fifteen por cout. of the actual cost of the new choirs as installed, and other re- pairs as they dcclll fit." The resolu-
tion wzls carried.
A resolution was carried that the
<‘il_v Surveyor be instructed to lnako flu- ll<-r-cssury rcpairs io thc keepcr's
house at Victoria Park.
llis Worship thc Mayor referred to
.1 It-itcr which had appeared in a cer- tain papcr from Bishop J. Taylor Smltll, Chaplain General of the War Office, asking that all people at noon should offer a prayer oil behalf of the soldii-rs and sailors of the Empire. Ilis Worship stated that it had been slim-festcil to hlln that the City Hall llcll should be rung three times at noon ovcry day, conlnlencillg Wednes- day (to-morrow) ill deference to the request which was contained in the letter. lt was a suggestion which he tlloilgllt was worth putting into prac- tice nllrl ho did not tlllnk any objec-
tion would bc raised.
The Council unanimously agreed to
thc proposal.
This was all thc business before the
lncvtiiii: and thi- Council thorcupoli
zuljourllod.
