Comptroller Kvanson drew the at tention of the board to the fact that an amount of J10.123.25 had been ear rled forward from year to year for some twenty-six years on the credit side of the city's accounts. This amount could never be collected and he proposed that it be written off.

The situation arose, as stated, about 26 years ago when the account was paid out without official sanction from the council. The city never had value for part of this money before or since. Officially the city treasurer of that time became personally respon sible for the disbursement, although no oiame attached to him. The matter has apparently come tip for discussion in the past and his worship said it had better be written off, as it could never be collected. The board will recommend to council that instructions be given to Comptroller vanson accordingly.

Controller Waugh again nointed out tne necessity of having a definite un derstanding with the various alder men as to what local Improvements tney considered most necessary in their respective wards before anything was oraereu.

The meeting held behind closed doors yesterday afternoon between the civic railway committee and the Mid land railway representatives resulted.

ccordlng to several aldermen In terviewed by a Tribune reporter, in "nothing new." As far as it was possible to dis cover anything at all about the proceedings, the only thing which mav apparently be stated positively is that me one concession which the railway company were said to have made namely, that they would brinir lhoir trains Into the city by electric power was euner never made at all or has been withdrawn. Asked whether the company proposed to electrify their system within the city, Thomas Cooper, aaslstant to the president of the Great Northern Railway, gave an answer which cannot bear two interpretations: No. We will use steam." This also appears to Indicate that Cooper has no further doubt as to the railway coming into the city. otner general Indications-one of them the cheerful demeanour of the railway officials and by arguing from "circumstantial evidence," it also seems safe to say that tho company will get its way In reference to the location of its terminal freight sheds and shunting yards: that Is to say, that they will be located as far cast as Isabel street. Obtain Guarantee.

The "circumstantial evidence" referred to In particular is a statement made utter the. meeting to the newspaper reporters 'by Aid. Douglas. He, like most of the others, began by saying that there were no further developments; he added, however, that a guarantee had been obtained from the company that no plant of an objectionable nature, such as a glue factory, would be permitted to be established nlong the yards of the company without obtaining the sanction of the city council. Now, tlie necessity for such a guarantee would not arise at all unless It were first decided, or at least assumed, that the yards would lie located somewhere within the city: and as It Is admitted that the railway company have made no concessions that "somewhere" must be the location shown on their InM plans, namely, as far east as IsalM'l street.

The railway. In addition to Thomas Cooper, was represented by C. (Ill-man, to the president, and James Klshvr, solicitor for the company. The ratepayers' representatives were Dr. Heath, A.

Morikmnn and 10. Welte. From none of these was It pussibla to elicit even the semblance of an elucidating statement. Company So the news-seekers had to fall upon "circumstantial evidence." Whether the Joyless (aces of thce gentlemen might tie accepted na such evidence will not be positively known until the next count II meeting, when the lionrd of works will present a re. commendation.

That this recommendation Is satisfactory to tho company was admitted by Mr. Cooper, when hi. said: "If the recommendation of the board Is n. ccpied by council oti Mninl.iv Pljbt. we will probably start work on Tuesday.

"Of the many cases I have had before me, as a police magistrate, this is the worst. It is inconceivable that such conditions can exist in Winnipeg, and a man be guilty of such a vile and foul crime.

Under the statute I can send you to the penitentiary for the rest of your life, but I will take into consideration your age and send you down for 15 years on the second charge. You should be locked up for life to keep you away from decent people. Your sentence will also include twenty-four lashes, twelve to be delivered when you reach the penlten-itiary and the other twelve a year later. On the first charge you will serve two years, the terms to run consecutively so that you will get seventeen years and twenty-four lashes in all. You can go." These were the words used by Magistrate Daly this morning In sentencing Charles Erickson for one of the vilest crimes on the criminal calendar.

Thirteen years ago he married his present wife, who was a widow with one daughter. In March, 1902, he committed the offence which has got him Into his present trouble. In May of the following year his step-daughter gave birth to a child. This happened on PORTION OF NEW LOAN Hon.
