When Col. « Sir Perey Girouard was chief engineer of the British railway construction in Egypt he secured the services of A. K. Kirkpatrick as nas- sistant, at $7,500 a year. However, the Kgyptian climate'did not agree with Prof. Kirkpatrick's family, and he decided to return to Canada In | the fall of 1900. WAS About. this time, there was a va- cancy in the city engineership of King- ston, and he: was induced to make application for it. The position was , tendered to and accepted by him, dating from the 22nd of October: of #at year.

F. Graves, Chief Engineer of the Montreal Tram- ways, With Regard to a Pavement for Princess Street Above Clergy The Board of Works on Tuesday afternoon authorized the chairman, Ald. J. W, Litton, and City Engineer McClelland to proceed to Montreal and have a conference with W. F, Graves, chief engineer of construe- tion of the Montreal Tramways, lim- ited, with reference to the type of pavement that it would be advisable to lay on Princess street, between Clergy and Alfred, this roadway hav- ing a light, sixty-pound rail. The City Council at the special meeting held last week, instructed the Board of Works to secure all the possible information concerning paving ma- terihls that could with safety be 'laid against this light rail, and the board decided that the best way was to secure information first hand. The chairman and the engineer will see if there is any street in Montreal similar to to Princess street above Clergy, and at the same time get all pegsible information frony'Mr. Graves about paving. A report was recéived from the city auditor that he could not pass accounts or the pay list for the con- struction of a sewer in the laneway above Bagot street, from West to Earl street, as this is private pro- perty. The work is partly done, and the workmen cannot secure their wages. © The city engineer announced that the whole cost was borne by the property owners, who petitioned for the sewer, and that they would pay when the sewer was completed. The board asked thé engineer to get the property owners to advance money enough to pay for the work as it pro- ceeded. The Hotel Dieu authorities asked for permission to place a stepping- stone on the walk in front of that hospital on Sydenham street. The engineer said that to do so would be a violation of the by-law, as the stone would be an obstruction. The chairman said he would like to ac- commodate the Hotel Dieu if at all possible. It was decided to leave the matter with the chairman and the engineer to arrange. The board again discussed the re- quest of Roddy and Monk for the purchase of No Name street, near St. Catharine street, ani finally decided to take no action. Mayor Shaw wrote the board com- plaining, on behalf of residents of Lower, Bagot street, that material was being dumped down there that was a nuisance and should be remov- ed to thé proper. place. The matter was referred to the city solicitor and city engineer to report upon the whole question of refuse dumping, which is not very satisfactory at présent. It was decided to ask council for permission to treat King street west from Barrie to Centre and Princess street, from Alfred to the city limits, with an asphaltic oil or liquid as- phalt, and to charge the cost to the property owners, and that tenders be called. Alds. Litton (chairman), Couper, O'Connor and Sutherland were in at. "tendance. ---- SCHOOL CADETS PREPARING For the Inspection to be Held on May 20th.
