Tank Still Leaks and Residents] Are Complaining--Manager Folger Doesn't Think That Enough Gas Can Be Stored to Last Over Sunday. At a meeting" of the civic Light, Heat and Power committee yesterday after- noonit which Aldermen Givens (chair- man), Chown, Elliott and Couper were present, the report of William E. McKay, of Boston, consulting engineer and concrete expert, upon the defective gas tank foundation, was received. The report is quite lengthy, and goes into full detail in connection with the faults the expert fiinds with the tank which he condemns. His conclusions are as follows ;-- \ "lI conclude that there are but two methods of procedure: ; (a) Remove the walls of the present concrete tank and rebuild ow" the same site; and improve and perfect the tank bottom and the joint of the base of the wall with the bottom of the tank. This plan I 'endorse by preference. (b) Contract with a responsible firm, under bonded guarantee, to remove the felt waterproofing, to- allign the face of the tank wall vertically and horizontally, and to apply an efficient cement water 'proofing to side walls and bottom. I do not know whether any company would undertake this work at any -reas- onable cost, under such guarantee as would fully protect Kingston against delay, damage and failure. The alleged success of the water proofing company in this kind of water proofing work leads me to make mention of this plan as a possible alternative, but it is prob- able that the cost would be-greater than to rebuild the tank anew. The chérge is baséd on surface measurement, and might be 50,cents to 80 cents per square foot or $4,400 to $6,400 for the entire tank. . (¢) Other proposed remedies either do not provide for permanent correction of the tank defects, or they involve an expenditure disproportionate to the im- provement that they propose to accom- plish. The committee decided to refer the report to the city council, and to have it printed. Expert McKay's bill * of charges rather startled the committee, 'it being only $137, whereas a bill of $300 was expected. chargé would' be for. préparing spécifi- cations for a new«tank fogndation. Thomas Moore, street gas foreman, applied to be put on the yearly" salary list: The committee decided :to do this, | and fix 'his-salary at $780 a year. Ald. Elliott wanted to know when the time would come when it would be un- necessary to make gas on Surday.-Man- ager Folger said this would not be at least until the new tank is fully equipped and in operation. Even then, the man- ager said he doubted if the time woul come when it would be unnecessary .to make gas on Sunday, judging. by the way the output "was. incredsing. He | didn't think enough gas could be' stored ; | for Sunday. Manager Folger reported that the plant was having trouble in regard to electric wiring to houses and stures.' 'A number «gf places -when they had elec- tricity installed, had used only a few lights. Then they decided to add more lights, which were connected to the same wire. This caused trouble, as the Plant The manager said he would haye to ask the city solicitor to write. the electricians and point out that the city regulations must be carried out. The manager reported that residents on Place d'Armes were again complain- ing about water from the gas tank ooz- ing into their cellars. He had made ex- amination and found this to be the case. Not long ago a drain had been built on the Rahs plant property to effect relief, but the water was leaking through the drain. Some further remedy will have to be effected. Municipal Election Dates.

NEAR DEATH'S DOOR. . Mi-o-na cures dyspepsia. If any of the readers of the British Whig are | suffering' from stomach trouble of any kind, G. W. Mahood will sell you a box of Mj-o-na for 50 cents with an ainolute guarantée of relief ot money rack. Neil Murray, of Huron Road, Gode- rich, Omt., says: "I suffered with in- digestion for over four years and had been given over as incurable by many doctors. I had become a nervous wreck through loss of sleep, and what- ever I eat did not remain on my sto- mach for over two hours. - I would suffer with vomiting epells that would almost kill me, perspiration as wlarge 'ag beads 'would break out all over 'my body 'and leave me in so weaken- ed a condition that.I would be unable to stand, not a night's rest in over six months and was so weakened and run down that my family thought I would die. My heart was greatly weakened and would flutter and a sharp pain would come through me and cut off my breath. I was reduced (in weight from 150 to less than. 110 pounds. Doctors would give different, capses ° for my trouble, yet none of them gave me 'tho slightest relief. I commenced treatment with Mi-o-na and when one-half of the first box was used I could eat my meals without suffering the dreadiul vomiting spalls. | CONDENS GAS TAN Manager Folger was authorized to!ercte walks i McCann 51 Brock street. i t 3 1 i > {1 used about ten boxes in all, and [| {am entirely cured.

CONSTRUCTION OF WALKS. Seven Miles Planned to Be Laid Next Year. During the past season the extent of concrete walks constructed in King- ston was 6.7 miles, about hali a mile morc than during 1907. Next year there are ninety-one new walks to be constructed, or a distance of about 'soven miles. Some of these walks will 'be laid in the very outskirts of the "city, the people in those sections being even more ready than those in wealth- "jor parts to pay for good permanent sidewalks. At present there are con- in sections that would surprise some people. There are a number. of. very dilapidated walks that should have been renewed this year, only that thay could not be under- taken in time. However, they will 'be replaced next' 'spring. The city engi- neer's department looks 'forward to constructing .ahout seven miles of walk a veéar for the next three years. . By that time the city 'thoroughfares in"the reimotest-paris will 'then be fully -cov- ered. ~~ POLICE COURT. trate To-Day. In about fifteet minutes, Magistrate Farrell disposed of a featureless court this morning. ~~ Five drunks were ar- raigned before the magistrate. ~~ '@ There: is an old saying, thit a poor excuse is 'better than none, but the ex- cuse that Jehn Murray, an old-timer in police circles, gave when arraigned in the police court this morning, for drunk. enness, did not count for much with the magistrate, "1 was a little afraid of the smallpox," said Murray, with his usual b.oad smile, "and because of that 1' took a few drinks." "You are two weeks late with that excuse," replied the court. "We have none here now, $2 and costs, or. fifteen days." The smile came off Murray's face, as he left the court room. Michael McNally was not only drunk, but an old offender as well, and it went rather hard with him. A fine of $5 and costs, or two months in jail was the penalty. Michael has been out of work a great deal, and will be forced to go down. Two first offence drunks were fined $1 and costs each, and another who had His first spree in eight years, was taxed a similar amount. VICTORIAN NURSING. the Work Done November.

The medical health officer expects that by the end of the year there will be very few cases in the contagious hospital at! the fort. Cases are' coming out every day now, fully cured. In eleven days, only two cases have been added to the con- tingent in the fortress over the harbor. The disease is certainly dying out, and this is due, it is declared, to vaccination fdnd the efforts put forth by the Board of Health. "A few more cases would not occasion surprise, the health officer says, as people are stilk liable "to hide the illness on account of its light nature, but it is on this account that the trouble has spread. However, the city is about free from the contagion. When asked if the city council's vac- cination by-law would be enforced, the health officer said he thought it would. He expected the Board of Health would take the initial steps to enforce it at its next meeting some time this week. Vac cination, he said, was in the interest of the city and would keep it free from an- other such outbreak. : As to the value of vaccination, he said 'that out of all the cases here, only three were ever successfully vaccinated, and those three were done many years Ago, so that the usefulness of the vac- cination had disappeared. It was true, he said, that other of the cases had heen vaccinated, but they were done during the period of incubation, or while the disease was coming on them. He refuted had been quite a number of successfully vaccinated cases, He had signed papers | to show the vaceinatiof history of nearly , all the patients. Several had been vac- cinated just a few days before they were taken to the fort, or too late to prevent the disease,' though the vaccination would aid in a quicker recovery. All! the attendants upon the cases at the fort were successfully vaccinated, and not one of them has taken the disease, though with it constantly. Are Working Hard.

How often do we hear that excla- mation of a certain woman's hair or a certain man's hair. A promipent scientist and hair spe- cialist emphatically states and has proven, that any man or woman can {have luxuriant, lustrous hair, by using a famous prescription: called Parisian Sage. Parigian Sage is now made and sold in Kingston. G. W. Mahood, the drug- gist, is the agent in Kingston, and the readers of the Whig can buy from him for only 50 cents a large bottle. G. W. Mahood knows that Parisian Sage will beautify the hair, cure dandruff and stop falling hair, and for that reason he sells it under -a guarantee to cure or money back. H you cannot obtain Parisian Sage where you live, vou can get a bottle for 50 cents from Giroux Mfg.
