If 4 vl WILL ABIDE BY THE MONTREAL EXPERT'S REPORT Concerning Paving Differences Be tween Street Railway Company and City -- Changes , Will Cost $1,800 More The Board of Works yesterday af- ternoon decided te accept and abide by the recommendations of W. F. Graves, the Montreal expert, who was called in to advise on differences in connection with the paving of Princess and King streets, between the city and the street railway com- pany. It will so recommend to the City Council, which will have to provide for about $1,800 more for changes in the construction of the pavement. Ald. Litton explained how he had agreed with representatives of the street rallway company in conjunct- tion with it to bring W. F. Graves, Montreal Tramways expert, here to report on paving differences. He re- ported that all the differences had been settled thereby. On motion of Ald. Couper, the attion of the chairman was unani- wmously endorsed. The city's share of the expert's charge is $63.17. The changes proposed in the pav- ing specifications will, as stated, cost about $1,800 additional, as six in- -stead of four inches of conerete foun- dation is to be used, under the track allowance, three additional inches of excavation made, and a layer of one chairman said that when Mr. Foley, of the contracting firm of Foley and Gleason, was here at the end 'of the week, a definite figure would be secured. Replying to Ald. Fair, the chair mgh said that the recommendations Of Mr. Graves were to be followed to the letter, as they constituted the AUTOMOBILES REPAIRED AND OVERHAULED By Men: Who Know How--8atisfaction Guaranteed and Prices Are Right PORRITT GARAGE CO., 'Limited Always At Your Service Phone 454 BUY THE BEST : Sun-Kist Raisins Y Seeded and Seedless in Packages At All Grocers, ' GEO.

Ald. Fair pressed for the !mmedi- ate repairing of the paved road- Ways which have been torn up in places for conduits and services. The chairman and the engineer stat- ed that they were waiting upon Prof. L. Malcolm, who was to oversee the work. It required expert workman- ship, and Prof. Malcolm had ar- ranged with a road repairer to come next week. If work is not then started, the engineer will make oth- er arrangements. The board decided to act upon the recommendation of the Board of Health and apply to the Dominion government for the use of a dredge to clean out the slips at the foot of Princess and Queen streets, which are in a very bad condition. City Assessor Gordon wrote ask- ing that a street laid out on lots on Concession street be named. Ald Couper said that the new street was a natural continuation of Macdonnell ! street, and it was decided to name it as such. The board decided, on motion of Ald. Peters, mot to sell No Name street, near. SE) Catharine, and to call upon Roddy and Monk to fence in their quarry lots in that vicinity. The tenders for¢paving Princess street, from Clergy to Alfred, will be in on Friday afternoon, and a spe- cital meeting will be held to open them. The parents of the two boys who were injured by a powder explosion on the Baggot street! dump several weeks ag rote the board asking for damages. The matter was refer- red to the city solicitor aiid the city engineer for report. On the recommendation of the city engineer, W. A. Bailey, was given permission to construct a boulevard outside the walk in front of his resi- dence on Princess street, near the Bath ad, but not to plant trees, The recommendation of the Board ed in Rideau street, near North, on sanitary grounds, was adopted. In attendance were Alds. Litton (chairman), Couper, Fair, Hughes, O'Connor and Peters. GEORGE D, McLEOD, KINGSTON. In Command of Wireless on a Nor wegian Steamer George DD.

And it is all due to the splendid | system the Board of Education has in vogue, to deal with such cases. A girl or boy who is inclined to play truant is given practically no scope for the little game. There is a quick and close check put on the scholar. It works out like this: The various teachers keep close tab on the 'children. If a scholar should happen to be absent for a day or so, ingliry is made of the child's parents as to why he is absent. If a satisfactory answer is not forth coming #s to why the ohild has not been, centinuing his studjes, the police are notified, with the result that a summons is issued, and the scholar has to appear in the juvenile court, If, on the other hand, it is shown that the parents have been negligent and have allowed the child to stay away from school for no good reason then the parents are hailed before the magistrate "to give an account. The Board of Education is determin- ed that the very best shall be done to %eep children at their studies, and in this the members are backed up by the police magistrate, wha just this week, in the case of a mother neglecting her child, made it quite plain that he would deal with all such cases severely. Thus is will be seen that the boy or girl who desires to put one over the school, or his parents, is up against a hard proposition. The sys- tem is a good one and has worked out remarkably well. In fact since the matter has been given this care- ful consideration and prompt action taken, there have been very few cases of truancy. There is no pos- sible way for a scholar to keep from his studies for a long stretch at a time. In short order, he is checked and put back at his studies. The police are provided with truancy ecards, and as soon as it is found that a scholar is not attend- ing regularly, a card is sent to his parents. In the olden days, the matter was not traced to the home in the way it is now. The old time notes, which ran like this: "Please excuse Johnny from being absent from school to-day, as he had to stay at home," does not go with the pow- ers that be.now. The authorities get right down to rock bottom and find out things. * Many years ago it was quite a common practice for mothers to keep their children home from school for trivial things; and the "kiddies," of course, were only too glad to get a holiday, even if they had to do a little work around the house or go on an errand. Staying at home to mind the baby, or running to the corner grocery, is now a thing of the past. The child's welfare must now be given first place. It is desired that the children of to-day, be given every chance so that they will become good citizens, well fitted for service, and in a position to fight life's battles and in no way handicapped. ' . Magistrate Farrell sounded the warfiing on Monday of this week, when he announced that the children must be given a chance. The mother pleaded that she was doing all in her power to keep he little girl, who had been playing "hookey" at her studies, but admitted that she had not been able to do so. The magis trate stated that in all such cases as these, the authorities would step in, take possession of the girl, and have her placed in an institution where she would be well cared for, and also given an education. .may be The best that parents doing will not fill the bi Children must 'attend school no matter what comes or goes. It is imperative, And the beauty of it all is that in the years to come, the children who were kept at their studies will offer keep at school. How often have you heard older people make the remark, "My, but I wish I had stayed at school when I was young." Such a remark as this is heard every day. With such a system as is in operation in King- ston, much good must éertainly re- sult. May the good work continue! HAMILTON-TAYLOR WEDDING In St. Andrew's Manse on Tuesday Evening. Miss Cassie Tavlor of Glasgow, Scotland and Archie Hamilton, of this city were united in marriage, on Tuesday evening at 8.30 g'clock at St. Andrew's manse, by Rev. S. J. M. Compton.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE, Littlest Rebel," At the Grand on Tuesday night the 'Miss Clara Turner Players" en- tertained an appreciative audience, the bill being the same as that on Monday night, "The Littlest Rebel," a strong story of the times of the American Civil war. The company, with Miss Turner in the role of "Vir- gle," cleverly acted the drama, which revealed the fact that, though the north and south were fighting for two flags, there was beldw it all the abiding fecling of brotherhood and humanity. On Wednesday afternoon the bill was repeated at the matinee, and the same play is the attraction to-night. "What Happened to Mary" is the lay"for the last three days of the week, and will commence on Thurs- day night, This stock company de- Serves generous patronage. "Within the Law." "At the Grand Opera House, on Tues- day, May 12th, the attraction will be "Within the Law," Bavard Veiller's intensely interesting pew play of ab- sorbing heart interest, presented under the managerial direction of Selwyn & Lo. In this thrilling drama of life of the present time in a large city, Mr. Veiller has placed on the stage the ca- reer of a young woman who has sery- eda priSon sentence for a crime un- justly fastened on her. Upon being freed she finds that the penitentidry taint cannot be shaken off, and is compelled to take to the pavements, or develop a new mode of life along criminal lines, but just out of reach of the officers of the law. This latter course she adopts, acquiring amazing ingenuity and preying upon society al- most ac will, yet avoiding punishment by remaining always "within the law," using its falsities and technical: ities to guard het against police in in- terference. % WHEN RUN DOWN the 'Fonic Medicine, Builds Up.
