A prominent lo- cal sportsman remarked, to-day, that as all game are protected at some season of the year and as an insurance man is ever on the lookout for prey it would be a good scheme to ask the Ontario government to make a few months each year into what would be known as close season in which insur- ance men might migrate to some un- | inhabited section of the globe and dis- pute among themselves, Simple But Valuable Invention.

Rate Paid By Street Railway For Power--Placing of Street Lights--The Clarence Street Park. Kingston, April 17.--(Tp the Edi- tor): A few days ago 1 learned from your up-to-date paper that the street railway company paid $600 too little for the power they require to run their cars, and that if that amount were paid to the city, the council would be enabled thereby to furnish all the: extra street lamps that are required at the present time. Allow me to ask if there is anything to pre- vent the city from collecting = that amount ? If not it should be collect- ed, for surely the council of 1905 gave the company too many valuable con: cessions without further favoring it at a lower price for power than it should pay. That is what is to be un- derstood from your statement of the matter. If the citizens are wrong in their understanding of it, they ought to be set right, as I am willing to be, and make no insinuations on. the point whatever. Permit me to say further, that 1 think a better and more equitable distribution of the existing lights ntight have been made when they were last rearranged, so that a wider and more needful supply of light might have been given to the citizens, in stead of curtailing it, as it is in cer- tain quarters, giving to some more than is needful, if that were possible, and to .others too little, of which I will endeavor to give one example There are likely others, even if less pronounced. For instance, there is a good light at the corner of University avenue and Johnson streets, and an- other midway down that block, on the left side of Johnson street, where it is really not needed at all, which is a very sparsely settled neighbor hood, insteadsoi being placed at one of the corngrs below. at the. intersee- tion of Division and® Johnson streets, a thickly! settled seetion and much traversed in every direction, there he- ing a schoolhouse on the darkest side of it, on Johnson street, which is a very obsolete sidewalk and a church a little further down, on the opposite side of the street. There is no lamp at all here, "although a prominent corner. It seems to me that a much better location could be found for this at present smaccessary lamp, and at the same time a much better general distribution of street lighting provid- ed. Another strange hankering seems to prevail in the minds of the present park committee or its chairman, like his predecessor, as he wants some- thing more done to the Clarence street Park, which means a further useless expenditure of money to do it, which has been needless from the first, as it was never required for a park, and the change effected in it affording no improvement to it, or to the city whatever. All this tom-foolery is worse than useless, as Ald. L. L. Hen- derson very sensibly told the commit- tee at its late meeting' that this park would most likely be needed for a new postoffice, the hoard of trade having asked the government for a mew and larger one, the present one having be- come too small for its requirements. If all the federal government offices'in the city were concentrated in the space between Wellington 'and King streets. which I have already advoeat- ed in the past, a great saving in rents would be effected and much greater convenience to the public secured, as all the public office business could be bound conveniently together on a space of government land amply suf ficient for all, and no further tinker ing upon it or furthér expenditure of money needed. So there is no need of being--TOO FAST, Tramp Over Lawns. Kingston, April 17.
