His 117 a:ship the Mayor

In consequence of certain itatements made by a member of tAeoouncil cat its last raciet:ng beg to submit herewith the last monti'lly financiAs statement made up by the Clerk of lioxks. It was statea that the custoim of furnishin this stataulevit had been u;bandoned. This is t correct. x have been i.rovidedwith a si:1111ax statement eaoh mc)nt by means of the s'oateli.ent bave been eaablea to detemine approximately how eaclp acoount stood.

In cmaeotion with til5 accounts, a statewent was also =las that t7:: ).e revlsition book fox materials had dispeared, was not nod in use an: could not be found in to o ca. I desire to contral2ict this statement most eivhatically.

bills -prescnte. RefnrIng to the financial statement there is

not u 61n l e account really overdrawn, a,1 though tech-nically th statement could be twin bed into such an Literpretation. 01 ty Prison Improvement shows a Dr.

H R H PRINCE OF WALES.

City Hall, November 25th, 191

His ,Royal Highness the Prince of Wiles returned

to the City of Halifax on H. M.S Renown on Monday

morning November 24th, 1919.

On Tuesday morning November 25th His Royal

Highness landed at the Dcokyard at 10.40 o'clock

where he was met by His Honor Lieutenant Govdrnor

McC.Grants Brig. General Thacker and others.

THE TOWN CLOCK

The party drove in Motor Care to the Town

Clock on the eastern elope of Citadel Hill facing

the western end of George Street. Upon the stage

erected at the approach to the Town Clock there

were in attendance His Worship the Mayor, Aldermen

Kelly, Douglas Whitman, AckhurBt, alwell, Ritchie,

Finlayk Hoyt, C ty Clerk Monaghan, City Engineer

Doane, W.R.Tegan, Assistant Building Inspector,

James Downie Superintendent of City Works, the

Mayors of St. John, N.B, Moncton N.B, and •Truto

H.S. and a large number of ladies and other gentle-

men and the party accompanying His Royal Highness

inclUding His Honor the Lieutenant Governor and

Brigadier General Thacker.

His Worship the Mayor received His Royt11.

Highness on the stage and requested him to lay

the corner stone of the approach to the Town Clock

the beautifying of which is about t6 be developed

November 25th, 1919

His Worship the, Mayor spoke as follows :ha

; Your Royal 'Highness :

Upwards of one hundred years ago the early inhabitants of Halifax assembled on this spot to witness the dedication of what may be termed, in the language of today, a civic: centre. The tower a nd clock were ereoted at the expense and under the direct supervision of your voyal progenitor, His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, who we are happy in recalling, played a dominating part in the archi- tectural beginnings of Halifax. The site selected, and upon which we now stand, topped a Street, which bisecting: the then struggling town, was one of its main thoroughfares. Faoing this street were some of the more important administrative offices of the colony and in, its immediate vicinity many of the principal inhabitants erected their homes. It led directly from the then chief point on the water- front to the town's chief centre of defenoe. It witnessed the: comings and goings of the s tudents who attended our first university. Within the mem- ory of many of us here today it was selected as the site for the Victoria School of Art and Design, ereoted to commemorate the Vallee of an illustrious sovereign. Your Royal Highness' great grandmother, Victoria the Great and Good. For these reasons we think it al- together fitting that lour Royal Highness should officiate at the laying of the corner stone of a development by means of which we hope to perpetuate all that this early civic centre has stood for in the history of Halifax and especially the peculiar significance it bears, as evidencing the deep attach- tent this city has ever shown for the Throne and Empire. At the same time we wish to express our profound satis- faction in the privilege that has been accorded us of witnessing the olosing chapter of a royal tour, which following closely upon the unifying influence of a great war has served in so striking a manner to demonstrate the abiding relation existing between throne and people. In bidding Your Royal Highness fare- well, on behalf of the City of Halifax, May I also express the heartfelt wish of all our citizens that you may be pleased to visit us soon again.

The stone was then lowered onto its base by

Mr. Downie. His Royal Highness levelled and trued it,

tapped it with a silver trowel and said "I declare this

stone well and truly laid".
