I was not anxious for the position, but I was persuaded to enter the field and I have ever since that time been one of the repreaentativesof that; ward in the council. I have during the four years now expiring, acted on several import- ant committees. I have been chairman of parks and chairman also of court of revision, in these positions it is unneces- sary to state whu.t`I have done, as no -`doubt, the public are aware of the ser- vices I have rendered. As to parks 1 will only say that 1 was able to keep them in good order, make several im- provemonts, and at the end of the year return to the treasurer about $70 as against an over expenditure by my pre- decessor. It is true thn.t I have not been on the finance committee, but: it: is not lpecuuse I couJ(l not be there if I wished; hut simply that 1 gave up my claims to others who were more .-mxiouv. to he on the committee than I umn sotiatoeloryio the new official.

During the past year there have been many exceptional occurrences, The whole of the British empire was called upon to render assistance in the matter of the Indian famine, and Kingston un- dcrtookits duty in this respect heartily and rendered assistance to as large an extent as was feasible. The cit also was a contributor to the relie fund for the sufferers hf the serious fire in Prescott and llusse I counties, and there were mun fnatters ofexpenditure which were un orseen, but which seemed neeesary and which are rticulnrly the cause of the somewhat uge expen- diture dhring this year.

By careful management it was found , ihle to retain the fate onst- suion at EZI-`.' milks, as it haa'heen for some yen past. This was done only by u very vamfyl management of do- mils and cutting down expenditure in an departments as far no possible.

When the question arose and I investigated it, I considered it my duty to arrive at as good `an agreement as possible for the city and to leave the decision of the matter to the citizens. I consider the agreement at good one for the, city and it is now, therefore. for you to decide if you will adopt it or not. flu-inn-u ILA anal nun-.. Al-.__- L_..- L--- 1 l l 101' ll- l`he matter of exemption of manufac- tories is one. that has been heforn the minds of the citizens prtrticulurly dur- ing the past year. It has seemed that of late. the citizens generally feel more determined to make Kingston a bus-y centre than they have ever felt" hefore even if it. can only be done hy the ex- penditure of in considerable sum of money. I am opposed, on principle, to bonuses and exemptions of all sorts, [ cannot, howevar, fail to realize the ad- Vl.\"I.l)llii_V 05 giving both bonus and ex- emption in particular cases where we see the direct sn.tisfactory results, as long` as the law of the land allow; other pl.'Itl`P.~: in the province to grant them. In the proposed bonus and exemption to Ml-asrs. .\.bbott. untl company, which is now under your 1-ou.~iiler'tlion.l simply wish to say tltat. I believe it". would he ll. good thing for Kingston if the. bonus by-lztw, which has passed it~t first and second readings in the council, sltould meet with your approval. Every cure wns taken by the finance commit- tee and the council generally to find exactly where we stood before the pre- sent tirrangenients were complet-.~d. I .~'h:i.ll not, upon this occasion, take. up your vulualile. time to go into all tho! details of the agreement, but will re- mind you tha.l as far as the security of the t-ity of l \'inIg.-tton is concerned, it is ample. As you are aware from neatlink the h_y-law perhaps,` the ;\Ie. Abbott and company are obliged to erect liuiltlinyrs, plant and macltiner_t' upon land owned by the city,`autl to have. stock in the shape of raw material upon the land at ti. total cost of -$_".'itl,- tlb0, of \\'lll('l) they shall pay at least $511,000 for the. buildings and $l.'nll,Imtl for the machinery and plant, before they receive ll. craft of the, Kingmnn bonus and lwfm-e they even receive the deed of the land upon which they make all this expenditure. After the expenditure of $;.`.50_tJtltl has; been in- curred liy Messrs. Abbott & (`o., and the. whole concern is in marking order the bonus is paid to them. and the city of Kinurslnn is to have tlte first and only lien upon the entire eonrern for the term of twenty years, to insure the proper carrying out of the con- tr-nvt nn that nnrt nf Rfsurcrsx Ahlmlt .\'- l lll IHUI, -'lH(l I ITUSI Illlll _\'UU Ill l|l`(fQ' with me on Mnmluy next, in shtming that. you 1-r`nsitl(-.1` it, :1 wise step. I he- lievo thnl it is generally (`onve-(lml that tho street must he opened sooner or later, and that being the (`use 1 think that the price urrztngotl for now is :1 much stnttllcr one than we will over ltltlln have the opportunity of nnying in- il, pilbsllge U]. (I. Ulll III III? IUCKII a'l"glS|ill-I.II\` that the bonus could not be. paid until or unless the mutter was again submit.- ted to the people of Kingston for their opinion at the polls." . Another point: upon which I too strong ground 11 year ago in my in- augural address Was that the claims of Kingston as 11 transhipping point for grain should be urged and made good by the estalilisbnientz of grain elevators here. and that it would be wise for the citizens to take all proper steps in order to ensure guccess inrthis matter. You all know what has been done in this` re- gard during the past year. The citi- zens have recognized the atlvantaue which would accrue to the city if this industry were properly assist:-d and by the granting of bonu.~te.s to the extent of $ti0,00tt for grain elevators have seen the completion of one elevator with Al capacity of 500,000 bushels of gratin, and are. now watching with great. interest the building ol' a second one which will have a capacity of 750,000 husltols. I stated to you a year ago that: this would be the proper course `for Kin`g.ston to take in order to ro-estal)lish itself as :1 tmnshipping for grain, and it is a grettt suti.sl'a('tion to me to know that the citizens have agreed with me upon this point. ` . Another point in my remarks of a ye.n.r ago referretl to the. opening of riyndenltztm street. and I am pleased to mtnintl you'thut a. by-law for the open- ing of the street ltas passed its first and secoml readings in the council :l.lltl will be. submitted to you for your :lp~ proval on Monday next. It is for you to say, by your votes, it" you agree with lllt` on this subject. In vonnet-tion with it I may say that urr.'tn.ge1ut-nl:-1 \'r'l't' made. during the. past year for the put`- cli.-tse of the property and the building of the street for the t,-otnpurativelystnall sum ot' $17,tJtlU, wlit-rt-its, the estimati- submitted to you on n. former (K`t`.'l.\`lt)ll for the opening` of the street :15 SH',- 000. The opening of this street lt;t.-1 llt"`ll one of the ohjet-t.~z whit-h I ltttve had in view since my entry to the t`ll_\' ('Uun(`ll in 189i, and I trust llltll you will :tgree with ma nn "\ll1ll:IL now in !~thm.\lnQ to in considerable extant, dirbctpd. When I look over the various public matters upon which ll. your .130 I gave my opinion and stat.xl_ m_v(po,,-ition, I am pic-used to know H111 my advice regard- ing these has been .-nrrietl out in every |):Il`li(`lll!ll'. In tho lirst place I statmi plainly my pmitiun a your ago upon this plwlform upon the matter of the Kingston bonus to the Kingston and .~.'mith's I=`am railway. ~1 \atat_c;t`l then thzt.t,[ objected to the extendon of tho" time during which the railway must be built in order to receive the Kingston bonus of 150,000 nndgl pointedout that the granting of this bonus would mean a. funther expenditure to the city of $7,575 annually. which would itself increase the taxation, all other things being e uni, to the ext:-nt`__ot'one mill on `the ollnr.

If. in the coming days. the buildings could be more fully occupied and modernized, I am sure it would be advan- tageous to the electors and a source of in- come to the city. As chairman of this committee I have exercised the same care in guarding the city's property `and inter- este as I would my own. This, if elected. I shell continue to do. and you can depend upon it. being myself a large taxpayer, I will always be opgoeed to any proposal that will tend I50 enet the few at the expense of the many, or any scheme that would increase the burden of taxation without offering satisfactory and tubstentiel benets in return. On the other hand, as n hueinese man. 1 purpose being always on the alert in eelxing to en- courage and assist in the eel shlishment ol euch manulecturiee as are It itable to this locality, and which will give good promise ol furnishing permanent employment to our mechanics and workingmen : for after `all, it must be admitted. even by gentle- men of the "learned profeesions." that the mechanics and worhlngmen are the main- stay, the bone and ainew of any communi- ty.

While on the board of works under chair- man ex alderman Gaskin the scheme was intro ced for the construction of asphalt walks,a which has since led to the lay- ing of gra olithic walks. These, as you all are aware, have added greatly to the ap- pearance of our city. They are permanent in character. and though the first cost is somewhat more than the boardwalks they soon make up fJr this in greatly reduced amounts for repairs and in the lasting qualities of construction which make them in the end so much cheaper than the com- mon boardwalks. Let me instance : Be- fore these new kinds of walks were intro- duced the appropriation 'for a small Ward like St. Lawrence was from $1,000 to $1,- 200. Now the general outlay is not much over $200. The merchants who do busi- ness on the treetsin this ward rejoice over the improved walks as I am quite sure all who use them do. Well. for the introduc- tion of these walks I claim a share of the credit, and being, as I have already stated, cheaper in the long run than the inferior and oft times dangerous wooden walks. I hope to see them gradually ex- tend throughout the entire city. In addi- tion to cement and granolithio wgalks there is still another requisite of a progressive city thatI would briey allude to. and that is good up-to-date roads. Regarding this, every man who drives, or rides a bicycle knows, many of them to their sor- row, that they are by no means what they ought to be. We spend comparatively large sums annually in the attempt to keep our streets in a respectable condition. but as with sidewalks, so with road ways, the best are the cheapest. In my judgment it will befound more economical and as satisfactory to pave even a portion of a street every year, than to continue to fol- low the system that has been in vogue so long of covering the streets with broken stone one year. and carting it oil in the form of mud the next, and in any case the next council ought in oqmmon justice to a long sullering people appropriate a sum sulcient to put into something like a do cent and passable condition those streets in the outlaying wards that are, and have been for years in such a deplorable state.

You have heard whit has been said by the gentlemen who have today nominated me for the position of mayor. I feel that they have spoken so kindly and warmly in my behalf as to render it quite unnecessary for me to address you at any great length. I am very ` glad that this is so, for speech-making is not my forte, and I make no pretentions in that line whatever. I am. as you all know, a plain business ` man, born and brought up among ybu.and 5 ready and willing to. do what I can to pro- mote the progress and prosperity or the city of my birth. ` Tlurimr the time l have [men a member char-lee Livingston : Address. In common with all who are assembled [ here today I miss the genial pres- ence of the man; who as a citizen 3 and an oicial was for more than fty years closely identied with our civic life and government. It is needless to say that I I refer to the late M. Flanagan, and in con- ) gratulating you. Mr. Chairman. on your I recent appointment as "city clerk. I can wish for you nothing better than that you may hold the olce as long as your lament- ed predecessor did, and that your services to the city may be as elcient and accep- table as his undoubtedly were. now, gentlemen, who to day very` man hnru nnrl he-nnrwlaf nn nsnnnn whee nnrl .' I along ? I heard of Prescott at all. On all the committees I have been anxi- ous to conne the expenses to necessities. The cause I am sure you deplore as I do. We are looking and hoping, and not with- out good reasons. for brighter times. This will help the city nances: for occu- pied houses and plenty of work for cheery laborers will bring values back to their former places; but if this does occur, it does not`raean that we must spend more ` money. No. Iwanttosse everything cut as close in civic affairsas in the carrying on of any well-conducted business hrm. We have, as all of,,.you can see by referring to the last auditors re- port. heavy nancial obligations, and, I am sorry to say. much of it is un- controllable. For instance, in 1886 our interest account was $37,185: in 1896 it had reached $58,086. Our total debt is $922_`.360. of which $280,300 is in water works, which takes care of itself by receipts from consumers. our harbor front. and never have know that in recent years our income has not been as great as could be desired.

We own the water works, and you can see. if you are a consumer. the advan- tage it has been to you since it came into our hands. The same. I believe, would apply to our lighting of the city. I may without any self-conceit justly claim to have as a business man obtained a fair measure of success, and I can only repeat that if you are pleased to make me your - choice as mayor for 1898 I will endeavor to be as watchful, as judicious and as dili- gent in my oversight of the city s business as I ever have been in my own. l A: vnn am all nwnrn. nnontlnllinna ham: Joseph Wulkemm Roma;-II. . ...~u In"... o.. ..,...,\...|:.. run` mun? wme.
