SOLDIERS' CLUB.
APPLICATION FOR SITE. DECLINED BY CITY COUNCIL. The Returned Soldiers' Association recently .waited on the Reserves Com-, mittee of the City Council and askcil j that the Council make a grunt of i* site for a permanent club. Tlie matter again came up last evening, when the committee reported that, having given <lue consideration to the various matte re brought.forward by tlie deputation! of which so:nc did not conic within the order from the Council, as they were directed towar.lrs establishing the" fact that a permanent club was. necessary, it did not deem it advisable that the Council should seek to alienate any of its property for club purposes, as ttiie woulil be opposed to the purpese and . conditions on which the Council holds or hag acquired it s lands and endowments. Without expressing any opinion upon 1 the merit? of tiir project, the committee considered ">at slltn a grant would be unwarranted, and would set up a thin-1 gerous and unjustifiable precedent. The committee, therefore, recommended that j the application be declined. The report was adopted. •
