More Wharfage Could Easily Be Arranged--The Martello Tower Should Be Razed and the Bridge Removed. Kingston, Feb, 16.(To the Fdit- or): Your readers wili likely remem- ber that on or about the 5th of March last a correspondent in your paper, singing himself 'An Advocate of Kingston's Progress," advoeated the building of very much-needed and suitable wharf accommodation in Kingston harbor, owing to the lack of that much-felt - and very much-re- quired utility, nearly all of what little we had of it having been utilized and prises. ; There is the space lying between the Folger and. Swift's wharves, wheve, he said, there is room for two wharves, Next in order would be to carry the G.I'R. wharf out in the same man- ner, and a third or fourth could be constructed between - the Kingston Yacht Club boathouse. Between these wharves ample and eommodious basing would be left for crafts of all sizes and shapes to nestle in, to have their repairing done in, and good docks to ship and tranship their passengers on, and all the necessary fincilities for them to do business would be com- plete without interfering in the slight est degree with the business done at exikting wharves," whereas as it is now, we have one tremendously large basin, being the whole harbor, but no wharfage, but what is to be had at Swift's and Folger's, altogether too limited for the "extra Fabitemente hich larger docks are needed for. hen it ie claimed by some that to allow the Martello tower to remain where it is it' f6rms nothing but an opinion I endorse, and the stone with which it is bailt as well as that on which it stands, being a rocky shoal, could be utilized in filling in the wharves which I advocate the building of, as the tower is neither ornament- al or useful, . not even heing of suffi- cient importance wo be considered as an old sentimental landmark or forti- fication, nor never was. Nor.is it needed as a beacon on which to place harbor lights; and the present time is a very opportune one, while the gineers are examining our harbor for shoals and other obstructions which interfere with navigation or shipping in any form, with. a view to its re- moval also. i "Kingston's Progress" also advoca ted the making of a wider passage in the bridge to @nable boats to get through it on their way to the upper harbor and on to. the other northerly and easterly ports and Ottawa, free from danger of damage or injury of any kind, thereby opening up and bringing in thav harbor for a storage, repairing and mobrage ground also, which 'would edrtiinly 'afiord much in- creased 'accommodation, after being ef- | fectually dredged out between the pre- sent bridge site and Bell's Island, which no doubt the government would willingly do, as they readily do else- where, when and where needed. This done and the the converting of tho site between the K. & P, roundhouse and cotton mill into gu desirable shipyard, would put Kingston in the desirable and needful position she now finds her- self so much in need of. In regard to the bridge 1 would further and advocate its removal go al- together, or to rebuild it on a spot between* Barriefield shore and Bell's Island, and 'on to the G.T.R. site on Montreal street.

Mr. Reid has now resumed work, but was off work eight 'weeks. He receives $2 per day, Ald. Chown said that the committee should show some consideration in this case. Ald. Couper was of the same opinion and it was decided to commend that Mr. Reid's request granted. In reply to a question put by Ald. Chown the chairman stated that Mr. Reid carried no accident policy. Charles S. Silverman, representing the United States Show company, which is putting on a "Wonderland" in this city, asked for a rebate on 180 electric lights, which would be re- quired by the company. The chairman said that he had re- quired of Mr. Silverman the amount of power that would be required, but had not received an answer. The mat- ter, he said, could not be fairly judy ed from the fact that 180 lights would be needed. It was decided to leave the matter with the chairman and manager of the light department, to report upon,' The committee will recommend that the tender of Benjamin F.
