THE, PREMIER AND 'HIE MAYOR
_ We publish today the correspondence _"that has Passed ,between P1'°"?‘°¥:. AF” __ ,mult and Mayor _ Wright ,_regardir_rg_ the distribution of poor relief in the City and fthe admission _of__ deserving cases into the ,`In'firmary. ‘ _ _
The correspondence speaks for .itself
sand it would appear that _Mayer Wright _‘was hasty and _unjustified in adversely cri- ,ticizing the action of the Premier In _ th? gway he did. flip make the matter plain it ‘should be explained _that the supply vot_ed ‘annually by the legislature for the relief _of the poor of the province is distributed in 'two ways: firstf through the churches and -benevolent societies and second, d_1»1'@¢t1y from the Executive Council, for which the 'Premier acts.. . _ _ _ In the first Case _the administration has proved eminently satisfactory but in the second the Premier and his predecessors have found _thems-elves__in the position of ‘having funds at ,theiiydisposal without the necessary machinery to utilize them to the best advantage. The Executive Council fund has hitherto been distributed almost exclusively to City applicants and t-he cus- tom has been for the applicants for relief to ‘ call personally upon the Pre- mier or through an agent and lay their case before him. The Premier is not in a position to know at all times whether the applicants are deserv- ing or not and his suggestion to the Ma- yor, both in writing and conversation, was that a committee of the City Council should act as his advisors in the matter. The Mayor did not deny the reasonableness of this proposal nor has he since done so, but he insinuated that Premier Arsenault had thrown obstacles in the way of deserv- ing cases being admitted to the Infirmary. Here again the Premier challenges the ac- curacy of the Mayor’s statements and points out that only one case was brought tohis attention by His Worship and. that he advised him to make the necessary ap- plication for admission, which His Worship did not do. Dr. McMillan, Health Officer, subsequently 'applied for this particular case and an order for admission was im- mediately issued. The position seems to be simply this: that the Premier desires the Mayor and Cty Council to certify as to the necessity of applicants from the City for admission to the Infirmary instead of throwing all the responsibility on the Premier who has not the machinery at his command to make the necessary investiga- tion. The Mayor admitted the fairness and reasonableness of the attitude adopted by the Premier but subsequently, when bringing the matter before the Council, characterized this admittedly fair and rea- sonable attitude as “a high handed piece of business.” In the correspondence which we publish he does not justify his adverse cri- ticism but refers ‘to something else which _he does-.not take the trouble to explain in det_ail. It is regrettable that the amenity which has so long characterized the rela- t1on_s between the City and province should be J_eopardized.by hasty and ill founded érlticism of this description and we trust that the correspondence hich We publish will prove effective in cfivscouraging any further departure from the happy rela- tions so 'long' `ex`istl'n‘g between the chief executives 'o‘f the City and province.

CURBING ExT§{vAGANcE
The War Industries Board of the Uni-
ted States has taken the matter of sense- less extravagance in foot wear and men’s clothing into its own hands and has put on some very much needed restrictions.
`It has been noted in this country as
well as in the United States that with war- time scarcity of leather and wool, our boots, especially ladies’, have been made higher than when leather was plentiful and cheap. Why this should be no one appears to have the slightest idea. According to a recent enactment of _the United States War Industries Board the height of women’s shoes is to be reduced to a maximum A of eight inches from heel to top with the same maximum for over-gaiters, or “spats”
‘All shoes both leather and fabric, will
be restricted to black and two colors of tan. Patent leather will be black only.
Shoe manufacturers may not, for the
next six months, introduce, purchase or use any new style lasts. _ Manufacturers are especially urged to encourage the sale of low cut and low ef- ect shoes, to reduce the number of boot samples for women and to co/-operate with retailers and wholesalers to restrict the return of merchandise. L
Marked _changes are prescribed for
men s clothing also. Sack coats y will be shorter, with a maximum of 30 inches for 36 sizes and one half inches_ added for longs. ’ Double breasted overcoats will be eliminated and the length of top coats will be a _minimum of 43 inches for 36 sizes and two inches to be added for “longs.”
Only three outside pockets will be al-
lowed in sack coats and facings will not ex- ‘eed 41/3 inches. Side and back straps and flaps pf trousers are- to be eliminated and no reinforcement of trousers can be made with wool cloth. -
Not more than ten models of sack suits
are to be put out. The maximum length of rain coatsis _fixed at 48 inches, while the maximum width of collars will be 31/. inches. All double coats with detachable lllllI_}_|is -for civilian use are to be eliminated.

A PRAYER FOR THE AVERSION
OF FAMINE.. `
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father,
we Thy children come to Theo ln this our limo ol’ need. We thank Then that for.so many years Thou hast preserved us from anxiety about our food, and wo pray that Thou wilt, in Thy mercy, help us at this time of scarcity. Make us unsolflsh and considerate of the needs of others. and careful and prudent ln our own use of food. Guard and protect, we humbly pray Thee. our merchant shlpii and those of our allies, and of the neutral nations; save them from their secret enemies and from every peril of the seas.
