The City Property committee, with Ald, Harrison at its head, has dtart- vd the your with the in.ention of cos serving the lands the City Coumerd controls and\ of adding to these pos sessions sue Bh Nps and tracts as it thinks . will be useful for civie pur poses in the years to come. The com: mittee held "its initial mecting on Wednesday niternoon, with the chair- man and Alda. Bews, Clugston, Gil- lespie, Richardson aud White in at. tendanee, Ald. Harrison introduced the' land question by declaring that the eorpor- ation should hold gil the lots it pos- seased and" buy additional areas. He referred (to the fact that in the last fow years a good deal of land had been picked up for speculative pur- poses,band that the City Couneil had not been alive to the importance of entering the field as a purchaser in the interests of Kingston's future. Land was needed for industries, school sites, ete. He hoped that a deal would soon be closed for the pur- chase by the city: of the Allen marsh and Belles - Island, as these traets should be owned by the city for indus- trial expansion. Ald. Bews wanted to know what propertivs the committee had control over at the present time. Tt was de cided to have an inventory prepared for mext meeting. Ald. Richardson drew 'attention the necessity of securing for industries for additional to land not only and schools, but also parks, and - play grounds for the children of Kingston. There werd sections which had no play grounds, and he held it to be the duty of the City Council ta pro. vide them. Ald. Harrison ' agreed. During his travels abroad last year he had noted that the chief European cities had play grounds for the children. There Was no reason why Kingston should not have them also. The.cost of fit- ting them up would he soall. Ald. Harrison made nf¥ntion of the fair grounds property, owned by the city for the past eighteen years. It had been frequently said that the buildings were ready to fall down. but he had been told by a builder that they were very substantial and only required a fair amount of money spent upon them to make them good, He had a plan for their: use which he pr¥mised to unfold at a future meet- in| Ald. Richardson remarked that when the buildings had stood the strain of the recént storms they must have been well. constructed. The chairman suggested that when the weather was fit for an automobile jaunt the committee should meet and make a tour of the city for the pur- pose of looking up vacant lands, and also ito view the committee land and building possessions. Ald. Bews urged the commitice to do something for the young people of the city by operating a free skating rink on the cricket field, which was admirably situated forsthe purpose. Ald. White wanted .to know if the flooding of this field 'would mjure the grass. He was in favor of a public | rink. Ald. Bews replied that there was not much. grass to injure. Besides, one of the baseball diamonds, which were not covered with grass, would 'almost suffice. Ald. Richardson stated that Ald.
