Polson be granted leave of absence for six months, from April 23rd, on account of ill-health. Pay- ment of general accounts was also re- commended. Ald. Bassam objected ment of five dollars to Dr, J. H. Bell for examination of a lunatic, last year, on the ground that he was then an alderman, and it was illegal for an alderman to receive remuneration for civie service. Ald. Gaskin held to the pay- eld that the account should not be paid. Ald. Elliott said that if the amount was paid a bad principle would be established, There had been aldermen who for twenty years refrained from contracting for city work because they regarded it as wrong.

The walk had been petitioned for and passed by the board of works at its meeting last week, and built before the matter was submitted to council, for the reason that the construction gang was build- ing a walk near by, and advantage was taken of its presence to continue on and build the one in question. As the walk was laid; the aldermen could do nothing but record their protests against the action of the board of works in allowing the construction. Ald. Rigney took occasion to draw. attention to the fact that, although the wooden walk on Johnson street, along the Hotel Dieu property, had been taken up several weeks ago, it had not yet been replaced, although last year's council decided that a con- crete walk should take its place. Ald. Craig supported Ald. Rigney in his contention that 'such a walk should not be left unconstructed. mayor said that the action of the hoard of works in connection with the King street walk was highly im- proper. Ald. Bassam defrded the board of works. A by-law for the raising of money to construct the King street walk and one in Cataraqui ward passed its second. reading, but failed to get the necessary three-fourths vote on the third reading, and will have to be presented in. Ald. Elliott introduced a by-law to amend a by-law passed two weeks ago, for walk construction. It provided for the striking out of the i of a walk on the north side of Divi. sion street, from Russell strect to the city limits, a distance of 2,700 feet. He claimed that the present walk could be repaired, and that to lay a concrete walk would be an aw- ful hardship upon the property own- ers there as the lands were merely for cow pasture. One resident would have to pay for 1,100 feet. This was most unfair, he claimed. The walk was not needed, and was only being put down for the benefit of people going to St. Mary's cemetery, outside of the city. Ald. Carson said that a concrete walk, three feet wide, would be the cheapest of any. The present walk was dangerous, and the city would be liable for accidents. Ald. Gaskin spoke along the same line. Alds. Blliott and Carson had a few tilts, the former charging the latter with smuggling through the construc- tion of this walk. Ald. Carson replied that it was Ald. Elliott's own fault in not objecting to the laying of this walk when it was before the last meeting of council. Ald. Elliott's amendment to the by-law was carried on a vote of 15 to 4, and hence the long stretch of Division street walk will not be laid. -- Motions Passed, Ald. Givens moved seconded by Ald. Gaskin that the mayor appoint a committee to report upon the advisa- bility of holding the regular meetings of the city council every four weeks instead of every two weeks as at pre- sent.--Carried. Ald. Givens gave notice that at the next meeting he would move that the council méetings hereafter be held on every fourth Monday, throughout the year. On motion of Alds. Toye and Gas- kin, the light committee was given Power to purchase a carload of four- inch iron pipe for gas mains. Alds. Elliott and Bassam moved that the council petitibn the Dominion gov- ernment to appoint 'some officer to inspect the loading and equipment of freight vessels, in view of the losses that have occurred from overloading. -- Development Of Power. Mayor Mowat seceived a letter from the.mayor of Brockville advising that Kingston, Gananoque, Brockville and Prescott co-operate in presing upon. the power commission the advisability of generating wer on the St. Law- rence east of Prescott and principally at Waddington, N.Y., where 20,000 horse power can be secured and trans- mitted to 'all towns .and cities along the Eastern Ontario 'front at reason. able rates. The matter was referred to the light committee for consideration. The question was raised by Ald. Craig in connection with the passage of a bylaw as to whether it was legal for the assistant city engineer to sign the measurements, cost of construc- tion, etc. The aldermen seemed to be Spring Importation Of 1906. ; Prevost, Jrock street, has Jooufead WO caros I} i order clothing department, consist of Scotch an lish tweeds, serges, cheviots and Vicunas.

With the approach of the warm weathér the tourist travel re ceived an impetus and people on the decks of the steamers calling in port are becoming noticeable for their numbers, 5 . The steamer Toronto, on her initial trip down the river, Sunday morning, carried nearly. five hundred people, ra- ther an unusudl crowd for so early in the season. But then the Boston con- vention was largely responsible for that, The R. & 0. line steamers are commencing to pick up a good pas- senger (rade, despite the earliness of the season. : Excessive Bay of Quinte port freight, principally © Prince Edward county cheese, delayed the steamer Alexan- dria several hours on her down trip last night. An unusual amount of cheese is being shipped out of Picton for June, the cargo resembling more 4 fall load. Too, the amount of freight out of Kingston, from Craig's wharf, is said to be g trifle heavier than last year, The steamer Aletha on her _ daily trips up the bay has a good cargo of general freight and a large average number of passengers. Even the ferry Wolfe Islander is experiencing a rush- ing business, Steamboat men are all predicting a heavy season, particularly in down- the-river, travel. Some reasons ad- varced are that from the. past three years the Thousand Islands have beer comparatively 'dull ud this year there are no big expositions . to prove a counteracting influence for the travel- er. The Cape Vincent route is daily in- ereasing in popularity and the steam. ér brings more passengers to the city cach succeeding trip. A Fine Souvenir, The Thousand Island and St. Law- rence River Steamboat companies have issued one of the finest souvenir pamphlets, this year, that has been published by any company. It con- sists of seventy-five pages, and is re- plete with information and sketches, besides containing a panorama map of the St. Lawrence river from Kingston to Alexandria Bay. '""Terse Thoughts" is the first article which strikes the eye, and is particularly adapted to the wants of summer visitors who contemplate a short vacation, calling aftention as it does to the many and varied trips among the Thousand Js. a follows an article en- "The usand Islands of the St. Lawrences River," | tellin thing of interest' concerning t best way to sce them, and their espec- ial value to tourists as a health and summer resort. The sporting facilities such as fishing, shooting, camping, canoeing, and motoring are not over. looked, and a section is particularly devoted to setting forth the attrac- tions of Kingston. Views of Kingston; of scenes among the islands; of steam- ers of the White Squadron, singly and collectively; and of camping parties every. em, the are freely interspersed. Among the last mentioned groups is a particu- larly * fine ohe entitled, "Dinner is Served," and , showing Henry Folger and his three sons about to partake of the midday meal on one of the numer- ous islands which go to constitute the thousand. The * next information gleaned from the folder is headed, "How to See the Thousand Islands.' It is more than an account of the magnificent rambles taken by the Fol- ger boats, it is most valuable as a guide and reference, It describes the trips among the. islands, the distances from point to point, the scenes passed en route, and the principal places stopped at. Nothing of value in the way of information fot the tourist has been overlooked and everything is jl- lustrated by cuts which probably sur- pass any yet. psoguced by the pho- tographer's art. And finally to con- clude with a'"T¥ip to Kingston," deals with the old Limestone city, his- torically, politically, and from the 'viewpoint of its innumerable 'attrac- tions and advantages. These in brief are the contents of the souvenir issued by the owners of the White Squadron and not only should it be of benefit to their interests, but it should also be of great benefit to Kingston in bring- ing the city more prominently than ever before the travelling public.

Americans Are Willing to Pay for Best, "Kingston is much handicapped in her lack of first 'class hotel accom- modation," commented a man from Chicago in town yesterday. This was fully demonstrated when the large number of Americans who arrived in the city at an early hour, Sunday morning, were unable to secure rooms at the Randolph, owing to that house being filled. 0 : Continuing he remarked : "There is no reason. why a place like Kingston should not, during the summer, at- tract hundreds of tourists from the other side, who as a general rule want the first class thing and are will- ing to pay for such accommodation. So many of the travelling Americans crave after things old and historical, What more could they ask for than Kingston offers ?" To a large extent the re-opening of the British-American will fill one of Kingston's wants, but it is strongly felt that what is yet needed for the big civic boomer is a summer hotel. The board of trade have the matter in hand--with such energetic workers on its side, it should succeed. | * ® ¥ INVITED TO COME. ¥ * : William.
