There is perhaps no other city on the. vontinent of Ameriea that would permit a drain to be left open in its principal street for a month, as is done in Kingston. Workmen started weeks ago to excavate j portion of Princess street #0 that water works could be placed in ex-alderman O'Brien's tailor shop, in the opera house block. The deain is still open, and the workmen have heen wo! ing off and on for some time. # No other place would tolerate such neglect. The pile of stones and earth is an eyesore, and the deep ditch, extending to the middie of the street, not only blocks passage, but is positively dangerous to traflie. It is time the board of works took some action. ---------- May Remove To Ottawa. To-day Baker's steam laundry chan ged hands, R. D. Baker, the popular proprietor, selling out to John Gas kin, jr.

While in Guelph fast week he attended a meeting = of those who will be directly employed in dairy work the coming season, and who will be in the service of the On tario government. At the meeting Me, Hart heard many flattering com- ments on the good work done by the Kingston dairy school. The opinion was freely expressed that the school should be enlarged to meet the grow- ing demands on the pert of 1 attending = thes classes, Mr. Hart thinks that a home dairy class could be profitably . introduced here; this wo! tend to improve the quality of the butter sold on the local markets. Increased accommodation is greatly needed at the dairy school, and ne doubt the government will soon see the necessity of it.
