PRYING THE C m STREETS BOARD OF WORKS DISCUSSES THE PROBLEM. 'The Street Railway Company tion To Be Paved. A regular meeting of the eivie board of works was held in the city's engineer's office yesterday aiternoon. There were present: Leod, aldermen Dunlop, Walkem, Craig ard MeCsmmon and city engi meer Kirkpatrick, city solicitor with reference to the agreement between the city and the street railway company, baving par ticular bearing on the question of the company's night to walks. Accompanying this was solicitor's written statement effect: that the city could pot, under the agreement of November 10th, 15307, foree the company to lay rails satisfactory to the city engineer, on Princess street, below Bagot steel, as long as the track remained a sin gle one. i a double track was laid the rails would have to be put down in a manner satisfactory to the city engineer, The solicitor did not think the company could be forced to dou: Ire track line, HW the city decided to pave Princess street, it could com pel the company to give them a suit able rail as far up as Bagot street, After a brief discussion, it was de cided to have the engineer interview the company with regard to rails on Omtario, Broek, King and Princess to Bagot streets. The usual batch of accomnts were considered and ordered to be paid. The pay list amounted to $665.57 Ad Meleod was asked if the pav- ing would be dome thix year, aml he replied that he did = not know; this matter with the company would have to he settled first. If the streets were paved a wider rail would have to be used, but, according to the agree- ment, it seems that the city cannot compel the company to pub. down a suitable rail. In case, however, the company, after the street has been paved, desires to double track its sys- tem, the whale sxpensy of tearing up the street, ete., must be borne by the company. It is the intention of the committee to pave Ontario street from the G. I.

He came here to set matters right between members of his organi zation apd those of the International inion who are on strike, for there are two machinists' unions in Kingston, the Amalagamted being en older and larger organisation than the Interna tional. Its members in Kingston mun- ber twelve, and its officers are Rich ard Bunt, president, and John Lov- ick, secretary. It has 92.000 members inthe United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Africa, France, New Zealand, Spain and In dia. Mr. Cowen called at the Whig of- fice this morning to explain his mis- sion. It seems that the International machinists on strike are making ac cusations against hali a dozen Amal gamated wiion machinists, who are are work in the locomotive works, having refused to strike. They reason why they refused, Mr. Cowen said, ix this : Last November the Internation al machinists presented an agree ment to the lodomotive works' com pany to sign, that members of their union be given the preference. This agreement the company would not sign, but all the same, the Amalgam ated members felt that it was a blow aimed at them, and when a strike was on, they did not feel that they should join it. and hence refused. They say that if the agreement pre ented had simply asked that only un- ion wen be employed it would have been much fairer, The other point Mr, Cowen seeks to settle is the charge made by the In ternational machinists that those the Amalgamated associ: secure men to take the places of former. This the Amalgamated Nor emphatically deny. They say they | continue to work, and mind their own affairs. PICTURE OF "A" COMPANY. Presented to Capt. Horsey, Form- erly of the 14th.

Horsey then made a short ad dress, recounting his experiences in the early days, and the good standing of company "A," which he hoped, would ever maintaia its past good re cord, He was greatly pleased to have the opportunity of addressing the men who now composed the company which he had ance commanded. Capt Low thanked Capt, Horsey for his address and then. eslled upon Color Sergt. Pateman who, on behalf of the men, presented Capt. Horsey with neatly framed picture of the com pany.
