Manitoba Union seeks one mill tax for Patriotic Fund
The Union of Manitoba Municipalities with over 200 officials at Stonewall votes to petition the province to levy a one mill tax for five years on all assessable property to fund the Manitoba Patriotic Fund for soldiers dependents. About half favor a two mill rate to meet patriotic needs. The one mill rate would raise about $600,000 yearly, with voluntary subscriptions adding up to $400,000 if demand grows.

Tyrolean loyalty to Austria and the Hofer legacy
In Tyrol loyalty to the House of Hapsburg runs deep across its diverse peoples. Andreas Hofer emerged as a famed Tyrolean leader, governing Innsbruck with honesty before being captured by the French and shot in Mantua on February 20, 1810, an execution Napoleon later regretted for overzealous command. The era’s spirit and attire endure in memory.
