time Gaspard Pacaud is inspector for both Windsor and North Essex and it is intimated that the office is to divided with the appointment of? spi inspector for North Essex Paul Morand of Tecumseh Is fa vored for the North Essex position if the government decides to make two separate offices He is a stanch Con servative and: is highly respected among the rench Canadians of the county A certain element in the Conserva tive party has been asking for the re moval of Gaspard Pacaud from office since the party came in power last January but Hon Reaume who has the say in these matters did not take very kindly to the proposition In consequence Inspector Pacaud was left undisturbed even in the face of a petition to Dr Reaume asking for the dismissal This petition was signed principally by rench Ca nadians It is believed that the rench Cana dians will be satisfied if Paul Morand or some other Conservative is ap pointed license inspector for North "Essex where they are more inter ested Just what will be done regarding the salarv question is not known If the government splits the salary now paid to Inspector Pacaud the half will not be sufficient for the Inspector in the city to live on and he will have to tkke uo some side line in order to make both ends meet The change if made will probably go into effect prior to the granting of the licenses for the fiscal year begin ning May 1
