Campbeld-Joint Meeting of Committees Diss Queéstioh This Morning. : This wmorhing there was a joint meeting of -the civic Tight, heat and power and the fire and light commit: tees, to discuss the question of street lighting. Present were, Alds. Toye, Ross, Nickle, Gaskin, Graham, Millan, Givens, Henderson and Douglas. J. M. Campbell, the light plant manager and expert, was also present. . The first matter taken up was with regard to the account rendered to the fire and light committee for extra street lighting for the last quarter of 1906, amounting to $3580, This amount was considered excessive, as the aver- age extra charge is about $38. Ald. Nickle pointed out that all year the city had been allowed only for 400 hours for extra lights. The agree: ment, according to Ald, Nickle, i fied that the fire and light committee should be allowed, free of charge, 150 hours a year on each lamp. This would amount to 17,000 hours, figur- ing on 115 lamps, or 22,000 hours on 144 lamps. . Ald. Toye pointed out that the ve- duction for street, lighting made on November 10th, 1905, had never been passed by the city council. Why, he didn't know, but there was no record of it. Hence, the light department could charge the old rate of $72.66 a lamp, instead of $62. So that mat ters were more than equalized between the two committees. Mr. Campbell said that when the new agreement, making the cost of street lighting $62 a lamp instead of $72.66, was decided upon, the item in the old agreement regarding an allow- ance of 150 hours a lamp, was not considered. It was protty well under- stood that the light department, in view of the cheaper rate, would be al- lowed for everything. He understood that the old dgrecment as to the 150 hours was no longer in force, Ald. Toye corroborated Mr. Campbell on this point. The reduction came into force on July 1st, 1906. Mr. Campbell said that he had look- od into the matter pretty well, and found that the old company never a lowed 150 hours free for each lamp a year, but merely 150 hours a year, On motion of Ald. Givens, the treas- ury department was instructed to look into the matter of street light ing charges for the past year. yy Toye stated that the light de partment was not responsible for any mistakes in accounts. The whole financial 'side was under the control of the city treasurer's office. Ald. Ross had 'some remarks to make about the old agreement, which he characterized as too clumsy to be pro perly understood and carried. . out. Some talk about street rumors was indulged in by Alds. Ross, Nickle and Toye, and explanations were freely ac- cepted. Ald. Ross, however, dedared that Ald, Toye had said at the last. joint meeting of the two commit lees that he had given orders at the light dant that only the chief ofs police's order for lights to be turned on was to bo accepted. Ald. Toye denied this, Mr. Campbell said that he himself had made the order, and for this reason that it was necessary to have a re- cord of the extra hours of street light ing kept in the city buildings, and that if 'an alderman was to give the order no city buildings record would be made. When it was necessary to have the lights on, all that had to be done was to telephone the chief of police, who would give the order to the station, and make a record of it. Ald. Nickle remarked that he was very much interested in the street lighting question. He thought that the people were not getting the street fight they should for the money paid His object was to meet the demands of the people for better street lighting. In taking up the question of an all aud every night system of street light- ing, instead of the present lunar .jwys tem, Mr. Campbell said the extra cost of output to the plant would be $2,000. To operate the lights on what are known as "dark moonlight" nights would cost $400 more than at present paid : Quite a divous<ion arose over the amount allowed for depreciation. Ald. Givens held that the debentures did not cover depreciation. Ald. Hender- son held that they did, but he said he wasn't prepared to assert that the two per cent. was sufficient. Mr. Campbell stated, that thé plant was in better condition to-day than when the city took it over. It was kept up out of the revenue. Ald. Ross asked Mr. Campbell if the plant could give street lighting any cheaper than £862 a lamp. Mr Cempbell said it could not. Ald. Nickle wanted to know how it was that Brockville got an all 'and every night street lighting service for $62." Mr. Campbell replied that Brock- ville"s are lamps were all enclosed. Only about one-third of Kingston's street lamps wore enclosed arcs, I the See our Royal Spring Styles $5.00 a Pair NcDermott's Shoe Store 0000000000 i Strawberries, Pineapples i Tomatoes and Bananas) | size of a pencil top and worth one: whole system was enclosed arcs, a re sumers and not the street lighting duction could be made because en- | | closed arc lamps could be operated more cheaply. | In further reply to Ald.

Tt was finally resolved on motion of Ald.
