PAGE TWO. February Nearly GonelASKNG MORE STONE Board of Works Want to Rebuild Outer Union and Upper John- son streets--A Number of Con: tracts Awarded. At the board of works meeting, yes terday afternoon, Alds. Graham (chair- man), Kent, Hoag, Givens, Harty and Free were present. William Tait, the city's stone con- tractor, asked the board for permis- sion' {6 sell stone from the city quarry to the Davis Tannery company, and also to local contractors, in view of the city requiring stone, 'this year, only for walks and road patching. The committee didn't seem Bonk to this, and then Mr. Tait asked the board to accept what stone it requir- ed this year from his own quarry, just across the road, at no extra cost. Ther. he ¢ould move the city crusher there and supply whom he wants. On motion of Ald Givens, the committee agreed to do this, provided the stone was satisfactory to the city engineer. Mr. Tait's request to rent the city's scarifier and gradet to do county road work was refused. City Engineer Craig stated that at present the city had 150 toise of hand- broken stone on hand. Before road work began there would be 200 toise, which would be sufficient for road patching for the whole year. About six-toise a day would be required from Mr. Tait for concrete walks. The city engineer recommended that the city council petition the dominion government for broken stone from the penitentiary for macadamizing Union street, from Barrie to the city limits, 7.land Johnson street, from Albert _ |the city limits. The penitentiary and sox |asylum traffic is very heavy, and al {ready the new roadway out King street is showing signs of wear. Hence it is necessary to parallel King street with equally good roadways, and Un- ion and Johnson: streets should re- ceive attention. To macadamize both streets would cost $8,246, of which the city would pay $4,860. If free stone were got for, Union street, it would the city 83,426 to do the work. No use and do.

Gananoque, Feb. 26.--In the police ow Thursday, the case of Li- ton, against Edward McCoy, was given a hearing. The case has caused considerable interest as it deals with a phase of the law, which is seldom touched upon or infringed. The charge against McCoy was that of selling liquor within' the municipality with- out a license. After hearing the evi dence, it not being sufficient to con- viel, 'the case waw dismissed. James Taylor, Stone strect, having occasion to visit his cottage on Tre mont Park, found the place had been broken open and on investigation found soveral other cottages had also been dealt with in like manner. Upon further investigation several lads, under fftcen years of "ago, sons of well-known residents of the town, were found to be the authors of the, deed. Not wishing to suficr the conse quences of their misdecds, the lads left for parts unksown, but a clio was soon obtained and they will be called on to make suitable amends. i Rov. J.
