For the benefit of the younger members of the council he remarked that when he entered the county ser- vice he was advised for the first year to keep his mouth shut.

That it would cost $30,000 to place he hreakwater on King street in pro- per shape, was the rough estimate given to the Board of Works, on Tues- day afternoon, by Engineer R. J. Me: Clelland. He said that it would cost about $15,800 to make repairs to it. The breakwater, it will be remember etl, suffered serious damage in the big November storm. The engineer stated he had gone over the proposed work. His estimate of $30,000 was for the building of a concrete breakwater and walk. Ald. Fair considered that the ques: tion was a most important ome, and advised leaving it over until a com- plete report was submitted by the en- gineer, with plans, ete. Chairman Litton stated that the en- gineer had been very busy. However, had the meeting been held on Thurs- day, the usual day for the meetings, he believed the plans would have been ready. Ald. Fair done ahout wharf. It was decided té place the matter of repairs to both these wharves be- fore the Finance committee on Friday night. Ratepayers would be called upon to vote on a by-law for the ex- penditure. Ald. Fair spoke of the work to be Por ided for men who could not se- cure employment, in the breaking of stone at the city's quarry. He said he had paid a visit to the quarry to se¢ the men at their work, and would say that af the.rate of 84 a toise it would be impossible for the men to make money under the existing cirpum- stances. He declared that there was no system for the carrying on of the work; the stome meeded to be blasted by competent men. The men who were at work knew . nothing about the handling of explosives. At the pres- ent rate the men could not make twenty-five cents a day. He claimed that the men were like a lot of help- less children on the joh. The chairman plated that the quarcy had only been opened a few days, and that everything was not under a proper system; but soon would be. Many men had secured work, in removing snow. On Ald. Fair's recommendation, it was decided to have responsible men to supervise the work of the men on the stone pile, to do the blasting and also to see that the stone was fit to be placed on the streets when turned out, asked what wae being the Wolfe Island ferry Paving Princess Street The board decided to call for ten- ers for the paving of Princess street, and King street between Brock and Princess streets, the same to be in by Feb, 21st,' In eonnection with the paving, the chairman mads' the suggestion that when the paving is undertaken, on Princess street, that there be a,clause in the agreement, calling for the work to be completed in sixty work- ing days. Ald. Litton pointed out that the putting down of the pavemeut would be a great inconvenience and draw- back to trade for the business men on the street, while the work was going on, and it was for this reason that he wanted to have the work carried out as speedily as possible. The question of signs on the street came under discussion. At present there is a by-law stating that - the signs shall not extend over three feet This was amended to _ read have ta'be seven feet above the walk. The city engineer and fire chief will be appointed to act in the matter and in case of dispute the council will have to act. The old by-law called for $500 guar- antee from the person erecting 'signs but it has never been imposed. Now, a' personal guarantee wijl be asked for J C. R. Webster wrote/on behalf of Bdward J Revell. e latter claim- ed damages for injuries received on January 15th, when he fell on an icy walk at the corner of Ontario and Brock street.

The récommendation of the Board of Health, for a sewer on Ontario street along in front of the loco- 'motive works property was approved of. © Presented' With Handsome Gavel At a meéting of the Niagara Fron- tier Summer Rate Committee in con- vention at Buffalo, the 'retiring chair man, W. 8.
