E. Allen re taxes on Belle's island for 1901; and no action on the petition of Joseph Lemmon and oth ers for the reduction of the fee for hatebhers' licenses, Ald. Farrell regretted that the vigion of lot No. Dr. Walkem, and a very important matter, had not been recommended, Ald. Walkem stated that the city solicitor had advised no action, Ald, King also made a plea in be hall of Dr. Walkem's request, The objectionable clavse was drawn for the time being. The finance committee's report then adopted. di- with was Reports Adopted. Ald. Mcleod presented the report of the board of works, already publish- ea, and moved its adoption, --Carried. Ala: King presented the report of the water works committee, and mov- od its adoption. Ald. Graham brought up the ap- pointment of an engineer at the wa- ter works pumping station. It was time a permanent appointment was made, he said. He would move, se- conded by All. Abbott, that Mr. Ries, who for two or three months hau served there, should be put on ax permanent engineer, and that this clause he addes tor the report." AM. King said no alderman would think Mr. Rie deserved such. good tresiment. He might have been in the position still if he had wanted to, That gentleman had rewigned on the eve of Victoria day. The speaker had wrged Rice to remain, but be went, saving he did not think he would get the position even if he stayed, He was an excellent man and filled the bill, heing well recommended by the superintendent. All. Tait said that Mr! Rice was not forced out of hig position. There was not much hope of the city secur ing a better man for the position, But Ald. Tait wouldn't support him now. Al. Farrell considered that the average man would take the same course as Mr. Rice did. In March he was continted in the position 'until the re-organisation of the depart ment" was effected. The man showed a great deal of common sense in say- ing: I I am to get this position 1 want it now; I do net want to be thrown out of work im June or July. Ald. Farrell said that the real reasop of delay then was, not the réorgani zation of the department, but other reasons which ware not for the good oi the Apart ment. Ald. alkers said. Ald. Farrell should come out t and 'acknowledge t the liberals had played the game the conservatives, but that the Jatier had come out a little on top. The speaker would use his poli- tical influence whenever he could. So would other members of the council. Ald. Walkem talked to the gallery for a while, saying that Rice was not the kind of man wanted, becausé he had left them at short notice. Rolormers had gone to Rice, 'and influenced him to resign. Ald. Craig stated that it was very fine to hear aldermen Walkem, King, ot al say nice things about Rice, but why dida't they treat him that way ? Now that the gentleman had retired, there was no use at all in discussing the 'matter. Ald.

As soon as this motion was intro- ddeed, the conservative side of the house began to langh. Several of them feft the council chamber, and were not there to vote on the question. Ald. Craig moved that a retiring al- lowance for Andrew Lanigan be fixed Hy the finance compiitiee, and report ed at the next meeting --~Carried. Ald. White put the following reso Jution : "That after hearing several members of the amti-cigarette deputa- tion, we recommend that the city so- licitor be and is hereby instructed to prepare a by-law under the terms of the act." But Ald. Walkem also had a reso lution, to the effect that the finance committee prépare this by-law, with the solicitor's assistance. Ml: White gradiously withdrew his resolution, and supported that of Ald. Walkem, which carried. When the motion to adjourn came the council rose and heartily sang "God Save The King."

Anti - Cigarette Deputation Wants Legislation. Last avening a deputation of ladies and gentlemen, representing the chil dren's sid society, the medical pro- fession, the WO. T.U. and the teachers of the schools, waited upon the city council, and their spokesmen address: ed the aldermen with reference to the wo minors, Rev ed the deputation, said the law in this matier was not regerded, They ad vised a restriction or licensing of the cigarette This was highly desirable. The tobacco dealers were all in favor of a license law, pending it covered the sale of all kinds of to- Most of the evil could be corner groceries and news The regular tobacco dealers were honorable wen, and these was little or ne fault to find with them. Principal Ellis, of the collegiate in- stitute, said he appeared as a moral reformer. The case in hand was a serious one. Within recent years" the cigarette evil had incressed enormous- Iv. The speaker would not advocate interferenor with the liberties of grown men, but in this case those involved were incapable of forming their own opinion. It was the duty of the touncil to look after the moral wel fare of the citizens as a whole. The cohineil was now asked to confing the sale of cigarettes to reputable dealers The speaker would not recommend business to because it sapped his moral and physical nature. Dr. Wood, representing the medical profession, stated that the use of cigarettes had a very injurious in fluence upon young boys, He was sure the medical members who were mem bers of the council would take care of the measure when it came before them Cigarettes do more harm to the -sys tem than tobacco in other forms. The use of cigarettes has been greatly in creased during the past three years The speaker thought a by-law would greatly limit the evil. Canon Macmorine, of the children's aid society, added his testimony as to the evil effects of the cigarettes, He thought the statements of the teacher and the doctor left little to be said All he knew was what he had read and heard from reliable sources As custodians of the morals of the city, the council should move in the mat- ter, Principal. Greenlees, of Frontenac public school, had also noticed the prevalence of cigarette smoking during hi# short stay here. When he re proved a boy for smoking a few days ago he stated that fifteen others | his class also smoked, Fourteen boys acknowledged this. The speaker thought that something should be done. In closing the Rev. Mr. Laird stated that they were not far enough ahead of public opinion to be called fana ties They felt that something would be done in the premises.
