The water works commitice met at hall-past jour o'clock yesterday alter poon, with chairman King, and alder- man Tait, Abbott, Chabam, Sears and Mallen in attendance. The petition of the laborers' protec tive union for a wage of $1.50 a dpy of nine hours, wags held over for fur ther . tousideration. No action wes taken on Elen MeCue's petition to have removed a hydrant from in fromt of hee house at the corper of Bagot and Ordnance strests, because of its being an obstruction.

Superintendent Hewitt said a four inch pipe to Me. Johnston's pro- perty would cost 81,800, and .& one inch surface pipe $100. The committee did not eare to lay a surince pipe, and considered the offer' of $150 too small, for an investment of £1,500. The mat tor was laid over, to give Mr. John- ston a .chanes to make a further offer, it béing suggested thet he lay a sur {ace pipe at his own expense, and then seek water supply. The tenders to: build a new boiler were again considered, The Selby. & Youlden company ofiered $200, for the old. boiler, and. the Inglis company, Toronto, #250, delivered on the cars. The tender of the local firm to make the boiler was $1,150 and that of the I chante firm $1,108, plus cartage of 10. Alderman Sears moved that Inglis & Co. be given the contract for the new boiler, and the purchase of the old. Alderman Tait moved in amendment that if Selby & Youlden give $250 for the old boiler, they be awarded the tender for the new one. The mover held that the local firm should be given the preference, Alderman Sears held it was unfair to the Toronto firm for the committee to treat tendering in such an unbusiness fike way. He stated that the Toron- to firm's boiler would be rivetted by machinery, while the local one would be done by hand, and perhaps not te nearly so satisfactory. Alderman Abbott also claimed that the amendment was most unbhusiness- like. Alderman Graham pointed out that if Selby & Youlden gave $250 for the old boiler, there would still be £25 in favor of the Totonto firm, but even 80 he thought the tender should be awarded the Kingston firm, and the work kept here. * The motion of alderman Sears was catried. by this vote: Yeas, chairman King and Alds. Abbott, Sears and Mallen; nays, Alds. Tait and Graham. It was decided to ask for tenders for lead pipe and block tin, Board Will Co-operate.
