There was a preliminary discussion of the question at the committee's meeting on Wednesday afterndon, and the majority of the members present ex- pressed their opposition to the pro- posal. As the matter was not direct- ly before the committee by reference from the City Council, it was deeided to take no action until next meeting. Ald. Elliott, chairman, introduced the question, and asked what the other members thought of making the King street market place free of toll charges. He remarked that » lic feeling and sentiment seemed 'to be in favor of toll abolition. Ald. Couper-- "Does this proposal include the forestalling by-law?" Ald. ENiott--*No, I draw the line there." . ' Ald. Litton suggested that the mar- ket be made free, but that stalls he sold to the highest bidder. That was done in Hamilton. The market gar- deners here had asked for the privi--- lege of buying space on the market square, . In reply to the chairman, City Clerk Sands said that the tolls of the market amounted to about $1,200 yearly, which paid for the market clerk and cleaning the square, Ald. Litton--U you do remove the tolls that will not improve the market dny," Ald. Elliot{--"Would you not into trouble by auctioning off select spots on the market ?"' Ald. Litton--"Are you going to give the islanders a fine building and heat it for nothing ?" Ald. Clugston--"We had better leave the tolls where they ave." Ald. Litton--""So fax as L can learn the farmers are not agitating for the abolition of the tolls at all. It is done by a few county reeves: and councillors around election time," Ald. Couper-"You might abolish the tolls on sentimental grounds but you would reap no benefit. A free market will not make a particle of difference in the number of farmers who attend it." Ald. Biliott--"Have we the legal right to rent "any part of the mar get the Ald. Couper--*"Let us leave the matter over until we get legal advice. It will be time edough to deal with it when the council refers the ques- tion fo us." That ended the discussion on mar- ket tolls. Unlooked-for Praise.

The City Property committee yes terday spent an hour and a haf in talking over financial matters. It found that it would require aboui $400 more to pay all its bills, for much work has been done at the city hall this year, and there is still more to do before the old year blows out. The committee had $12,000 for heating and renovations, and when all work that properly comes under these heads is completed, there will be very little left. It was decided to add prism glass to the doors of the offices in the east wing corridor, 180-as to secure more light: The new furnaces came in for some discussion owing to the fact that the burning of screenings in them had to be stopped, and a lump coal substituted. Architect J. W. Power said that there was no doubt screen- ings could be successfully burned, but it would be necessary to have e fireman on the job all the time. Tha fireman could save his wages iv handling the coal. Several applications were received for the position of fireman, and the committee voted to appoint George Storing, who runs the city steam rol- ler, to the posit 80 as to retain his services all th§fyear round. He will receive ten dollars a week dur ng the winter months, and will be under the direction of John Ballan- tyne. The architect was instructed to notify the contractors for the city buildings work that everything must be completed by the 31st of Decem- ber, or other men would be engaged to finish what remains to be done. In attendance at the meeting were Alds:. Elliott - (chairman), Litton, Couper and Clugston.
