The minutes of the previous meet- ing were read and, on motion ap- proved as amended, some little dis- cusslon arising relative to the change in a tender from Mr. Mur- dock Ross, tailor, for policemens ovcrcoats. Two samples of cloth had been submitted, one to cost $43.50 and the other $45.00. The committee had at. first favored the, less costly cloth, but had later de-' clded to take the better. fhrough some error, the price had been put in as $45.50. This was corrected. The minutes of a special meeting were also read and one of the trans- actions which had been authorized at this special meeting was the pur- chase of the new city snow plow at $450.00. Another was the voting of $6,000.00 for supplies. etc. during the coming year of 1928. The bills for the month were then read. and it was moved and second- ed that they be paid. It was also moved, seconded and passed that the payment of the bills which had been paid by the finance‘ committee should be confirmed. The Health Officer, Dr. W. J. P.

Kliiliff. iii visil llililil (Special to The Guardian) OTTAWA, Jan. 9.-The forthcom- ing visit to Canada. of Hon. Frank ‘B. KeIIOEH. United States Secretary of State, has caused considerable gratification in the capital. It. is a. long time since a United States Secretary of State visited Canada the last being 110p. Elihu Root many years ago. The Secretary of State in the American constitutional system is the senior cabinet minister and cor- responds to the British foreign min- ister, or the secretary of state for external affairs in Canada who is usually the prime minister also. Mr. Kellogg is considered one of the interesting personalities in the present American cabinet. He was formerly ambassador to London and has had. a distinguished record of public service. Rather short in stat- ure and well on in years, he has a vibrant personality and is a. man of considerable driving force. He has long been interested in Canada and during his term in London was a close personal friend of Hon. Peter Larkin, Canadian high commission- e r.
