1 City Council to = pany ther Was Revoke in View Aik "ing of Letter At the meeting of the City Council, on y night, a letter was re ceived from the Kingston Retail Association, asking that the council revoke the license issued a a hort time ago to the Takito com: Se - puny, or A. G. Johnstone, represent: ng the said company, having been fined in the police court for misrepre senting their goods. The letter was referred to the Finance committee. Ald. Couper put in a strong plea to bave the matter dealt with by the 'council at once, stating that the merchants were anxiou® to have the matter dealt with as speedily as pos sible. 'The letter, which was signed by {Steacy & Steacy, John Laidlaw, R. W. Raldrob, George Mills and Howard "Marshall, stated that the council, under Eon the ision of section 253, of the "wo omunicipal act, had the power to re voke a license, used under this auth- ority, and is. not bound to give any wis ppason for revoki the license. AlL ad : Ry not give any rea- " gon in thia case, there was reason for doing #0; because the holder of the ~ sa license was recently found guilty in 23 the pulice court, of fradulent misvepre- sent , in connection with the sale of his , and was fined $100; the prosecition having been taken up. by «a representative of the Dominion gov- ernment, "We think the license should be re 80 88 to protecg innocent pur: % and the merchants of the city who are carrying on a legitimate busi . mesa," the letter read. * Ald.

I am in- formed Mr. Samwell had a similar by- law in Fort William and Owen Sound, and did not erect any mills. 1 would suggest that the city clerk be authorized to write both cities and get an official report. I do this in the intpeents of thé city and Mr. Sam- well. d. Elliott further stated that he bad received this information and he considered that he would not be doing his duty as a representative of the ratepayers if he did not bring it to their attention. Mayor Rigney said he thought such a matter should be brought before the council in the shape of a motion. There would be_ nothing before the council unless there was a motion. Ald. Hoag pointed out that the city bad information from Fort William. He thought this letter would answer the questions raised byAld. Elliott. Ald. Hoag stated further, that he had conferred with the mayor of Fort William, as chairman of the Industries committee, but as for Owen Sound, he was not in a position to know what had occurred there. The letter he re- ceived from 'the mayor of Fort Wil liam, was in the possession of the city, and could be read in council, if the members so desired. Ald. Sutherland stated that at the last meeting of the Board of Trade he understood the president to state that he would secure information from Uwen Sound. "My only object in brin ing this matter up," remarked Ald. Elliott, "is to have the matter attended to offici ally." He had received the informa tion and he thought the council should: have the benefit of it. Ald. Graham said the information should be secured. There was no use voting for a by-law if nothing would result from it if it passed. Ald. 'Ross said that letters from Fort William should be read and the city clerk then secured it and read it to the members. The {etter ,which was from the may- or of Fort William to Ald. Hoag, stated that Fort Wiliam had passed a by-law similar = to that proposed in Kingston, but that Mr. Samwell had * been unable to come _through with the scheme, He had, how ever, assigned his rights over to the mayor, antl the latter had put the busintss umder a new company, and the industry was now making good. 'Thiz ended the discussion on the matter, but the city cierk was in- structed to write to Owen ~ Sound to receive the desired information there. : Ald. Fair's Objection. Some time was taken up with the report of the Board of Works, owing to an objection io one clause in the report by the chairman, Al. Fair, who was present at the: meeting of board, having out' of the vity. He objected clause 3; which rec the ap- pomntment of. A. J. Pettigrew , as vlerk in the city engineer's office at a salary of $700, Ald! Fair was in favor of the report with the excep tion of this one clawpe. He explain: el that the rt was now not suf ficiently | si . He asked that: the | matter be réfarred back to the board stating that at the meeting two weeks ago the members had decided upon a_ reorganization of the engi- neer's department. He wanted to see the matter disposed of in the wey it was talked of at the board mect- ing. : a. Couper moved that rule 33 he suspended and that the report be allowed to go before the council in suficiently signed. . Ald. Harrison' said he always felt x 3 ER [ nr-------- ot like backing up a chaitinan there was a move on tap to reorgan- ize a certain system. He felt the chairman should be given time and that matters should mot be rushed. There was much discussion on the matier in which several shigrnen took part, also the mayor. ma- yor peinted out' that if Ald.: Fair 'J objected to clause three of the report then the report waw not before coun- cil! Ald.. Couper's motion, seconded by Ald. Elliott, was then voted on and defeated; which means. that the gues- tion of the appointment of a clerk for the engimeer's office goes back to the board again for further discussion. Reports of Committees. The report of the Civic Utilities committee was adopted, awd during a discussion on it Ald. Elliott pointed out that the new street lamps asked for, it was just a question: of expendi- diture which will be involved. The question of lighting the streets b ht Ald.

Folger, gen- eral manager, re arc lighting, was adopted The report stated that provision has been made for a sta- tion equipment capable of looking after an extra circuit of seventy-five (75) light, and in she accompany- ing list, a recommend for fifty-five (5%) lights has been made. At the ppesent time we have three circuits in operation, and to proper- ly equip and provide for the outly- ing districts it will be necessary to sub-divide the city into four dis- triots, which will make a better dis- tribution, closer regulation, and les- sen the annoya and inconveni- ence from interriiption of service. In a great many places new lines will have to be built, but these ex- tensions can be made permanent, so that the residents in the newly populated areas can algo be supplied with incandescent lighting: these latter circuilg being carried on the same poles. The total approximate expsnditure required, including station equip- ment, lamps, poles, wires and over- head construction, erect, ready for operation, would be twelve thousand dollars ($12,000), and the guaran- teed revenue from same from the city would be two thousand, seven hundred and forty dollars ($2,740).

McPherson and others for concrete walks on the east side of Alfred &treet, from Alice street to Union street be granted if sufficiently signed. These recommendations Finance committee passed: On the communication from W. J. Baker, asking for rebate of $45 fer six months' license, that the re- quest be granted. That the sum of $100 be paid to Mrs. Ethel King, ahd $60 to Mrs. Dutton, on the recommendation of the city solicitor, in settlement of all claims against the corporatibn on account of injury. Council passed these recommenda- tions of the Property committee: That the offer of the manager. of the Bank of British North America to pay the sum of $100 to the city for the satisfactory heating of the bank and caretaker's quarters be ac- cepted.

"l.can well remember hoW pleas- 8d I was when I got my well dnish- ed," he added, "and we were able to ge! a pailful of good water, and when the corporation gave me a two- plank walk from Union street, to my house, and a coal-oil lamp on the but after awhile the Board of Health came alopg and condemned all the wells, telling us they were full of typhoid and other germs, and that they should all be filled up Rv this time the cityShad bought the water works, -and how. glad we all were in due time the well was filled in and the city water turned on, that we would be able to have all the pure water we wanted, but what was our feelings when in a few years the medical men and the news- papers commenced to talk about the danger there was In drinking the water from near the dead ends.

DIESEL DIED PENNiLESS Financial Difficulties May Explain Disappearance. London, Oct. ' 14.--The Berlin Mor- genpost learns that Dr. Diesel, inven- tor of the oil engine, who mysterious- ly dispppeared from an Antwerp steamer, left his family entirely with- out means and in the greatest need. He was known to have undergone great financial diflicnlties in the early stages of his work, but after the sue cess of hie motor it wis understood that he became wealthy. Ur. Diesal owned one of the finest mansions in Bavaria, costing £50.000. He was in no way a reckless busi- ness man, but if he lost money iv buginess enterprises his death is ex- plained. The man who is kind to his neigh- bor is sure to get some consideration in return. Back Was Lame For Two Years Stomach Troubles and Weakness of Kidneys Cyred. by Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.
