The decision must be loyally $ccepted, for the removal of so serious a comtro- vérsy is an inestimable boon." Mr. Balfour spoke of the Franco-Bri. tain treaty 'as one to promote inter- national peace. United States Ambassador Choate responded to the toast of "The For- eign Ministers." Speaking of the Alas. kan boundary question, he said it was "a happy ending to the only matter of controversy that threatened at any time to create mischief and distrust between these two great English speaking peoples."

ON THE SIDE. S---- . Some Items of Business Before the City Council. Ald." Behan brought up an import- ant matter at last night's meeting of the city council. He pointed out that at present some of the committees overlapped, and suggested the amal- gamation of three committees, the board. of works, water works, and fire and light, In the: construction of sew- ers, laying of water mains and erec- tion of hydrants much money could be saved if these committees worked together. Ald. Behan also suggested that some attention be given to the extension of the water works depart ment. At present some property beme fited by water works does not yield any revenue to that department. All citizens should be obliged to take eity water, If this matter was given some consideration the water works de partment could he made a good re- venue producer. There should also be a re-arrangement of the hydrant sys- tem, so as to afiord ;adequate fire protection to localities in need of such. Alds. McLeod and Reeves moved, "I'hat the request of Messrs. Anglin, Stevenson,. Davis and others for the placing of a hydrant at the corner of Bay and Wellington street be referred to the city engineer for a report as to the location of the nearest hydrant to said locality, for the safety of the valuable property on said corner." -- Carried, Alds. McLeod and King moved, "That the appointment of a perman- ent auditor for the corporation of the city of Kingston be referred to the finance committee and city solicitor for consideration as to the advisabil- ity of making such an appointment, and that the committee report on the same as soon as possible." --Car- ried. "Alds. Meek 'and King moved, "That the city solicitor he requested to pre- pare a by-law providing for the elec- tion of aldermen by the whole city, in accordance with section 7 (a) sub- section 5 of the municipal act. and that it be the first order of business at the next meeting."'--Carriad, Before business was taken up, Ald. Craig pointed out that as council had assembled on the anniversary of. the birthday of King Edward, the mem- bers should show their loyalty by giv- ing three rousing cheers for the king. This was done, all present joining in singing the national anthem. Ald. Bassam suggested to council, that if the name of Albert street is to be changed, the name of Alfred street also cancelled and Albert street substituted. The offer of $750 made by the Free Methodists for the old reservoir site is the largest ever received for the land. The next best was $700. The offer is likely to be accepted, though the site was held at $1,000, The conditions of the offer arc $200 down, the balance in yearly instalments of 8100 at five per cent. interest on unpaid amount. Ald. Meek holds that there should be a readjustment of the hydrant sys- tem for fire protection purposes. Ald. Sears did not bring in his by- law providing for the opening up of Sydenham street because he did not have ready a list of polling places, scrutineers, returning officers, etc. The total cost of the purchase, grading, ete, is estimated at $14.589. The right of way will cost only mbout $12,000, the rest being allotted to raz- ing buildings, grading, ete. by-law was adopted granting ex- emption to the locomotive works com- pany for 1901, Alds. Hoag and An- grove only voted negatively, A num. ber of by-laws for artificial stone walks were also adopted. It was moved by Alds. Craig and Knapp, "That the finance committee be requested, at the next meeting of this council, to bring in a recommend. ation with a view to the collection of the outstanding taxes due the city for the years 1990, "01 'and 02."
