DIES IN QUEBEC MONTREAL WEST'S TROPHY-WINNING CUT-BLOOM EXHIBIT PURCHASE OF LAND IS? w4fh.wf"defesti QUEBEC APPOINTS ST. LAURENT MAYOR FIVE MEN ARE HURT AS GIRDER CRASHES iff. m- 'J nL I' iff if If -At T1AT nAin TV TIT IfTlTN Metropolitan Commission Refuses to Rush Vote Members of the Montreal Metropolitan Commission yesterday refused to rush into approval of a expenditure for expropriation of a specific site in Montreal North on which the provincial Government could construct a road linking Sherbrooke street (at Pointe aux Trembles) to Pie IX boulevard in the north end of the Island. This in spite of the fact that at a previous meeting the Metropolitan body on a split vote had already approved in principle of expropriation of one of three suggested routes provided Quebec paid for construction costs. On motion of Mayor Anatole Carignan of Lachine, M.L.A., for Jacques Cartier division, more than a half hour of debate was adjourned until a special meeting to be held Monday.

In the meantime, Aid. W. H. Biggar, chairman, was asked by. the commission to interview Arthur Bergeron, provincial Deputy Roads Minister, in Quebec City in order to obtain official information on what the Government is prepared to do as regards the project.

Mr. Biggar is to report back to the commission at Monday's meeting. Another lengthy discussion was launched at yesterday's meeting when Aldermen George S. Layton and Armand Taillon reported on a visit of inspection to Pointe aux Trembles, where the Town Council wishes to amend the building bylaws in order to permit use of a building in a residential zone by tne interprovinciai Com pany. The building was formerly used by the Montreal Tramways Company, but is now vacant.

This exhibit of cut blooms, presented by the Montreal West Horticultural Society, has won for the west-end municipality, for the seventh year, the Royal Bank Cup for the best exhibit of cut blooms. This competition was open to all local horticultural societies. The work of the society was highly praised last night by Mayor J. R. Pearson, at the presentation of awards in the Town Hall, Westminster avenue.

otatt Photo (Copyright Beuntd) Three Aldermen Also Named to Fill Vacancies in Council First official word of the end of! the deadlock in Ville St. Laurenfs; municipal affairs reached the of-1 fice of the secretary-treasurer yes-! terday morning in the form of noti-1 fication that Georges P. Launn, former Conservative M.P. for Jac- ques-Cartier, had been appointed! mayor of the town by Order-in-1 Council. Named with him are three aid-1 ermen to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mayor Li- ouard uoftier ana tnree 01 tne six aldermen at the meeting wi July 8, which left the council without a quorum and created the deadlock so far as all official business of the town was concerned.

Nominees in the Quebec order are: Benjamin Valiquette, seat wo. 3, east ward; Georges Aiphonse Bigaouette, seat No. 1, west ward, and Dr. J. M.

Badeau, seat No. 2, east ward. The new mayor and aldermen, it is understood, will have to take the oath of office in the usual way before Secretary-Treasurer Henri Lapoinle, who is presently on vacation. Fjrst meeting of the new council is unlikely to be held before the regular date in September. Following resignation of the councillors last month, which came after a long period of friction, the three remaining aldermen placed the matter before the Quebec Department of Municipal Affairs and asked that one alderman be appointed to complete a quorum, suggesting Philimore Cousineau for this appointment.

In the interval up to yesterday morning considerable correspondence was exchanged between the Quebec department and the secretary-treasurer, with the town stressing the urgency of some action, and department officials explaining action would have to be taken at a meeting of the Cabinet. This correspondence was read at the last meeting of the council, although no quorum was present and no official business could be transacted. The meeting, held August 12, was called by Secretary-Treasurer Lapointe because of tne fact the resignation of the mayor and aldermen had never been accepted by the town council due to lack of a quorum. It was held they were ntitled to notification of the meeting, even though they tendered letters of resignation, because one of them might have chosen to attend this meeting, but none put in an appearance. Aldermen who resigned with Mayor Gohier were: Howard Millar, Francis Belanger, and Leonard Harris.

Aldermen continuing in office are: Paul Dalme, Donatien Gagnon and Antonio Lariviere. Commenting on the appointment, Aid. Paul Dalme said last night he was disappointed to find that not a single Englishman will now sit on the council. It has been customary for some years past, he said, to have at least two to represent minority interests in the town. 'MRT NIGHT' AT THEATRE Cecil West to Direct Production in N.D.G.

Some of the men were on the scaffolding and others below. Exactly how the accident occurred could not be established. Officials of the construction firm of W. Lajeunesse and Company, by whom the men were employed, declared that the men were at work rigging steel girders which were lifted to tne steel work by a hand-hoist when something Rent wrong with "the mechanism and one of the steel girders fell. According to Lieut.

Poupart, of the Notre Dame de Grace police tation, the girder fell when the winch of the hand hoist broke and released the heavy beam. Employees of the company were not certain of the cause of the mishap. They also declared the winch had broken, but were unable to say whether this had been the actual cause of the accident. Whatever happened the girder fell with terrific force, and caused the superstructure to collapse, throwing some of the men 35 feet the ground, while other workmen cn the ground scampered to safety. Immediately after the mishap, police and an ambulance were summoned and the injured remov- ed for treatment.

On his arrival here, as he seemed over-young to be turned loose in the big city, he was deposited in charge of the S.P.C.A., where he awaits his owner. 2 VERDUN YOUTHS JAILED Judge Regrets He Cannot Send Them to Prison Farm The necessity of a prison farm, where youthful delinquents could learn profitable trades, was again stressed yesterday when Robert Wil son, 18, and Richard Clare, 17, both of Verdun, appeared before Judge F. T. Enright for sentence. The pair had previously admitted stealing $130 from the Fifth Avenue Theatre, Verdun, and causing $150 damage to the safe where the money was kept.

Wilson, because of his previous record, received a six-month jail term, while Clare, a first offender, was sentenced to two months. "There is plenty of vacant land in the province to establish a prison farm," Judge Enright remarked. "I hate to send you to the penitentiary because of the prisoners you will meet there and wish I could place you in some place where you could learn to play the game and learn a profitable trade." Because Wilson had already spent two years in reform school, he received the longer sentence from wno warned mm not to associate any more than necessary with his fellow prisoners.

though members of other castes according to strict rules must avoid them on ceremonial occasions such as eating and marriage, they seem to look on the converts in a better light when they are educated. "Naturally the converted untouchables are still 'unceremonial' but then so are we missionaries, in the eyes of the higher castes." One young girl of low caste had actually risen, through Christianity End education to a doctorate and was now in charge of a hospital in her native Trovince, "and that in face of the fact that it is far more difficult for women to progress."
