A very interesting deib'ate took place on the qiuestion, ' Should preference be given married men as against single in the selection of men for Public Works by the Government ? ' Mr. A. Stapleton led for the affirmative, while Mr. Jas. Toomey supported the negative side- After a very keen discussion a vote was taken, with the result that the negative side won by a narrow majority.
