Inorder to ensure payment of a $71,000 bond issue that comes due within the next few weeks, the city will float a temporary loan of $75,-000, it was decided at the regular meeting of the City Council last night when Mayor Joseph Labrecque again took his place in the mayoral chair after an absence of three weeks.Mayor Labrecque, who was declared.re-elected by acclamation at the close of nominations yesterday morning.was welcomed back to the Council by Finance Chairman Aid.Eugene Thibault, who congratulated him and pledged the support of the other Aldermen.Besides the decision to float the $75,000 loan and the adoption of amendments to the by-law imposing licenses and fixing the rates for special taxes, there were few matters of any great importance on last night\u2019s agenda and all reports and resolutions were approved without comment.The $75,000 necessary to meet payment of the maturing bond issue will be borrowed from the Bank of Montreal at rates of interest to be agreed upon by the bank.There is no need of a referendum to the ratepayers since the loan is only temporary and will be repaid from ordinary revenues.The Wellington Street South project calling for widening, paving and BATTERY CHARGING 50c Complete Auto Electric Service \u2014 Phone 645 R0SS-BIR0N ELECTRIC LIMITED 17 - 21 Frontenac St.Sherbrooke.straightening of the artery from the Carnation Milk plant to the city limits was duly ratified by the Council last night.Work on Wellington Street has been proceeding now for the last two weeks and will keep a large number of unemployed busy for the summer months.In one of the Finance Committee resolutions it was agreed to dispense with any future grants to the St.Vincent de Paul Society and the Sherbrooke Ministerial Association, local charitable organizations, although the city will continue to supply fuel | and pay the rent in certain cases recommended by these groups and investigated by the city.This is a reversion to the system prevailing prior to 1938 when the two societies themselves collected the money needed for carrying on their work among needy families.The $200 allocation for the Eastern Townships Winter Roads Association and that for $450 for the Bibliothèque Nationale as provided in the 1940 budget were ordered paid in another Finance Committee resolution.Estimated cost of relief works for the unemployed to be carried out this month was established at $20,000 and the rout fee demand for the contribution of the Federal and Provincial governments was approved by the Council.Among other routine matters were ratification of the admisison of fifty-six indigents to various hospitals and institutions; purchase of pneumatic tools and equipment for the Roads and Electricity Departments and establishment of a minimum charge of ten dollars for the summer season for users of electricity supplies to summer cottagers from the newly-erected power lines to Katevale.In addition the City Attorney was authorized to take legal action to assure the collection of arrears in taxes for the years 1935-1936-1937 and 1938.RAMMED THE DOCTOR Buxton, England, May 7.\u2014 \u2014 After fighting a belligerent ram for j 10 minutes in a field here, Dr.B.C.: Jones, 78, managed to beat the animal off with a stick after it had butted him once and charged repeat-ledly.FREEZES A BUSHEL OF ICE CUBES -POUNDS OR OF FOOD IN BIG FREEZING LOCKER NEW STERILIZER RAY kills bacteria, prevents mold and \"ice box\" odor EASY TERMS OF PAYMENT, r\u2014 ' \u2022 22°-below freezing cold in that big built-in freezing locker!
