Mr. Cowan, however, eloquently spoke on the various prob lems with which the country is con fronted, and and pointed out that the reaction from which the entire vorld is suffering at present, has touched Newfoundland as seriously as any country. We have been liv•<ing as a people, extravagant and perhaps not as careful in the matter of husbanding our resources as we might. The present depression has been attributed to different causes, but be that as it may, Newfoundland k as sound at die core as ever she was, and the speaker emphasized the necessity of a united effort to pull through it, and make our island home one of the brightest stars financially m the empire. A Great Necessity. Mr. Cowan also referred to the great necessity of a better understanding between the pubic and the press, and advocated a concerted effort and cooperation between these two great forces, for the good of the country as a whole.

Mr. Reginald Harvey also spoke during the evening and gave an interesting outline of the proposed activities of the association and asked for the co-operation of every carowner in the work. A Witty Address, What was generally considered to be the gem of the toast list was con tnibuted by Mr. P. E.

In addressing his remarks to the chairman and gentlemen, Mr. Outerbridgc particularly in eluded Mr. Controller, and then went on to stay *hat at present the work of the association was largely of a r.-.is nonary nature.

Scores Inacthreness Mr. Devine proposing the vote of thanks to the chairman and committee who arranged the dinner took occasion Jto refer to a remark made by councillor Mullally while speaking, that in making roads the Motor Association should go slow. Said Mr. D. We have gone altogether to slowly in the past, we need more steam, iwe should try to throw more action into our municipal program. When we consider that after a couple of hundred years of city activity St.. John's has only one paved street •viz Water Stresi, it is about time to Jstrt something. He paid a tribute to Mayor Gosling's work, the earnestness and industry he has always displayed and his wonderful effort in preparing the city charter. When this is completed said Mr. D. the city will be able to sell its bonds and raise the money that is neces. tary When the comfortably situated householders realises that no matter how clean his home may be that it never can be really clean and healthful in a dirty city, then we ! can hope for civic improvements all round, when we can remove those caravans that prowl thru, our city streets while the city sleeps laden ' with their* deadly freight at the 1 hour when churchyards yawn and '. graves give up their dead~then we can hope for a cleaner and more ( healthy St. John's. The people who have the money will respond as they have always j done when a proper scheme is worked out and when the proper pro' lection, is afforded their myesfments. Messrs T.J. Meaney.
