A woman attired as a nun made
a systematic solicitation of funds In
St. Johns last week and secured
quite a respectable sum of money,
I'atlicr Kettenhofen states that the
woman is a fraud, and is not author
ized to collect funds by the Church.
He advises people not to give to
parties of this nature unless they
cm show that they possess full
authority for so doing.
The petition for the improve
mcnt of Jersey street, Richmond to
Fcssetidcn street, which was pre
scntcd to council Tuesday evening
ts certainly a step in the riclit

lington, Jersey to Hayes, to follow
this excellent-example.
Petitions arc being circulated to
bring the question of whether or
not Council shall issue liquor licen
ses before the voters at the April
election. It requires 30 per cent
of the voters on pctltionsbcfore the

We understand that ncarlv the re
quired number have been secured,
and it is almost a foregone con
clusion that the issue will have to
be voted on April 4th.
