The Dominion Iron and Steel Corn-

North Sydney. 0. B.. claimed that the
coal company had been delivered coat
of a quality inferior to that called for
by the contract. The Steel Company
claimed to have. been caused great ad-

the proposed bill giving the city the
right to condemn property for public

bonds to pay for the same, has written
to Representative Frederick H. Quin-
tard. requesting him to introduce the
bill in the present session of the leg-
islature. telling him that in so doing
he will not assume any responsibility
and may have it understood that. he is
introducing it by request.

meeting will be‘called for this purpose.
