In discussing the guestion of tree removal on upper WHlliam street he- tween Barrie and Division, Ald, Ho#g said that the Board of Works should consider the widening of that thor- oughfare. Ald.

Ald Nickle criticized a recommen- dation in the Board of Works. ' which authorized tHe acceptance of a tender of Foley and Gleason for the extra work in connection with the King and Princess street pavement, in aceordance with the recommenda- tion of W. F.

The recommendation included items that were absolutely extras to the contract. The city engineer when called, stated that the contractors were en- titled to the amount in the recom- mendation, as it was for extra work. Replying to Ald. Gixgham, the en- gineer said that the &¥tra anount of* 68 cents a square yard was a falr price. The amount tobe paid above the original contract price is $3,267. Ald.

To authorize the construction of a permanent pavement on Princess street from Clergy to' Barrie streets The Fire Limits. Regarding the recommendation of the Fire committee that the fire li- mits be extended. Ald, Couper sa that the limit suggested was a little too far out. There was a good deal of vacant land out around ..acuon- nell street, that would take years to build up and there were a good many people who could not aflord to erect a certain kind of house. Ald. Suther- land, chairman ¢f Fire Committee agreed to make a change, carry- ing the limits to the westerly lim of Victoria street and over to Pine street. > The council passed the Fire com- mittee's recommendation to sénd Chief Armstrong to the convention of the International association of Fire Kngineers in New Orleans, Pa., wet. 20th to 23rd, his expenses to he paid by the city.

Panama, July, 7.--To further safe guard public health the Canal gov- ernment has proposed fo the P - manian government that the r- ous coach and livery stables .u he heart of Panama city be concentra- ted to ome location where they can be readily supervised and cleanliness maintained. The plan is for a large public stable in one of the outliving dis- triets under the direct supervision of the ' Panama railroad to accomo- date all the coach and car animals in the city. Stdlls and parts of the buil- ding will be rented to the owners of these animals as also will space in anether building for vehicles. This will do away with practically every private stable in the city. ° The present stables are great breed ing places for flies, which at this season of the year are especially nu- merous in Panama. It is probable the plan will be shortly carried out. At Winnipeg, June 25th, the mar- riage took place of Leona M., daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A, Guild, Mallorytown, to W, L.
