This being the case, the prq_ posed legislation would enable the President to appoint six additional judges, and it is a fair surmise that they would all of them be most friendly and favorable toward New Deal legis- lation.

CITY FINANCE

51f.—The f ' l statementsub- mitted by the Chairman of the Finance Committee to the Council and the public ls far from correct. It has been stated that: there Ls an overdraft at the Royal Bank at the end of the financial year of some $69,719.51 and this ls made up of

l the doflclts of this year and last year.

i This is misleading the public tn-

endeavouring to make them believe ‘ that outside of the debenture debt i that. is all the City owes. | It is not true. l What of the debt incurred last ‘ year for street paving and unem- pioyment relief? These two items amount to quite i1 15-186 Bum. why are they covered

" -1l1')?

What Bank holds an overdraft for them? -

Islt; the Royal or some other Bank?

What ls the amount?

Pony up and lei: us know.

It is not the first time in the City's history that such deception has been practised. It was the duty of the Mayor to place before cltlzens in hls nddressatrue state- ment, Instead of passing compli- ments to all and sundry.

The claim made that; they dldso greatly better tn managing the finances than was done ln the previous year ls also incorrect. The real estate and personal property taxes collected for 1938 amounted to $176,870.93, but. 1-8 of this amount; of $22,121.86 was contri- buted by the additional 1-4 of one percent added by this Council to the rate of the previous year. Add this to their deflclt and you get $44,001.43 tn place of their claim of about; $35,000. But it would seem a misstatement of $9,000 is only a trifle.

THE CAUSE AND CORRECTION OF BAD BREATH

There ls no question but that, the use of the mouth warhes so exten- sively advertised helps to Sweetie“ bad breath, but as there ls always a cause for this condition, that cause should be sought; while the mouth washes are being ired.

I have spoken before o1 110W the barium meat used to detect, ulcer or cancer of the stomach and in- testines, as ti; slowly swept; the sur- face of the large intestine, removed mucous and waste matter.‘ ‘the patient would often feel so well afterward: that he neglected to re- port. to hls physician for further advice. And one of the benefits received was that the breath lost its bad c ‘er for scme tune after the barium meal was used.
