"The need of a building. inspector for the. city, was emphasized by Chairman Sutherland, at a meeting of the Fire and Light Commi}ice, 'held on Thursday afternoon. The chairman pointed out faulty construction of houses been found be the cauke of some fires which had recently oceurred, and in this he was backed up by Fire Chief Armstrong. The chair- man felt that the question was one which should receive the serious consideration of the councils. No action was taken by the committee, | the matter being laid over until the next meeting, when it is expec.ed that the committee will have some recommendation to make, "Something should be done at ounce," remarked the chairman. "We do not know what we will be run- ning up against one of these days." His suggestion was that a man 'could act both as building and plumbing inspector. + Under tlie present by-laws, the city engineer is building inspector, but it is admitted that the city | glneer has too much other work to, 8% 5 pm, He steamer Beaverton attend to, to give this matter the Posie a Dots ail thie Ee hatrnan oss spout four!

' Chief Armstrong says that there is , great need for the extension of the fire limits, and the question will be considered. The chairman was of, { the opinion that. before the matter, was taken ap and dealt with, it would be a good idea to have the members of the committee make an inspection of the city to study the sityation, and for this reason it was arranged for the members to take a jaunt on Monday afternoon next. The members will meet at the city hall at two p. m. on Monday. When the street lighting question was discussed, Chief Armstrong point- ed out the pressing need of a light at the corner of Barrie and John street, and another at the corner of John and Mbntreal street. Both corners were very dark, and the chief stated that if lights were not placed at these corners, a serious ac- cident might cccur some timp to the firemen In responding to calls. The firemen were called to this district very often, and it was necessary to £0 via this route, as it was the most direct one to vse. On motion of Ald. Stroud, if was decided to request the Utilties Com- inission to provide for these much- needed lights. On motion of Ald. Nickle, it was decided to ask the Utilties Commis- sion to provide the committee with a map showing the location of the lights and hydrants, and also the size of the mains and where they were laid. The chairman drew the attention of the members to a comment of the Lampman, in last Saturday's Whig which read as follows: "The Lampman thought that the firemen were engaged by the chief to fight fires and not to inspect back yards to see .that refuse is carted away. The firemen, as well as Nick * Timmerman, must have tech- nical knowledge as to when a yard is clean. If three firemen can be spared from the brigade for three weeks, it appears to the Lampman that there was no need of increasing the brigade as was done last year." In reply the chairman wished to state that the Lampman was in error, in that only two firemen had been placed on the job for a week, and that this had been arranged for by members of the department giving up their usual day off during the week of the inspection. The fire- men would only be on the job for one week, and not three week, as stated. Ald. Sutherland, the chairman, presided at the meeting, and also Present were Ald. Hanley, Ald. Nickle, Ald. Stroud, Fire Chief Arm- strong and Dr. W. A. Sands, city clerk. : / A PROMOTION TANGLE Over Merging of K. and P. Railway 'With the C.P.R. The merging of the Kingstox and [Pembroke railway into th Ontario division of the C.P.R. has given rise to a tangle in the employees' pro- motion lists which would bother the proverbial Philadelphia lawyer. oT were spare conductors at Kingston and at Havelock waiting for next regular train. A vacancy has brought the question to a head, and as a decision one way or an. other must be reached it is being submitted to headquarters. The general offices of the men are at Cedar Rapids, lowa, and the chief officials will * give a decision accofd- Wg to precedent, when the question has been considered.
