In wetuen. the company agrees to expend $40,000 in the construction of a pier and to con tribute $4000 towards the widening of the swing portion of the bridge.

H. W. Richardson, president of the Board of Trade, said that for years he had advocated the deepening of the harbor and the widening of the bridge span, which was built only for small Rideau boats. Kingston needed more wharfage for one thing. This com pany is developing the iron mines of the back county and wants the privi lege of shipping the ore by way of Kingston. To do this shipping, it is necessary to get large boats through the bridge. At present the span was not large enough for these big vessels. It would not pay to load the ore into small" boasts. All" that Kingston was asked to do was to widen the bridge to a width of sixty feet. The com pany offered $4,000 for this, and Mr. Rbarsison said he was satisfied this nmount would cover the cost. The possibilities from the establishment of this iron company here were very great, Mr. Richardson said. Kingston should not hesitate, but take the op portunity now. given to it. J. M.
