Graham believed that the plan to use timber would employ three times the amount of labor the other plan would. Mo use concrete it would mean having a mixer on the job. He thought it would be folly to spend £30,000 on this scheme, as the work could not be completéd this winter. Ald. Litton said 'it was the inten tion to have all the mixing done by hand, and to give work to a great many men, 'I'he concrete breakwater would be permanent. However, the ! Board of Works was open to receive all suggestions, and if a belter plan coutd pe| adopteds the board would be i agreeable. Asked by Ald. Graham, the city en- | gineer stated that out of the proposed expenditure of $30,000, it was estimat- ed that fully) $20,000" would be spent in labor. The eity engineer, in his report, recommended the building of a con- crote breakwater which would be per- manent at oa vost of $30,000, A plan jor a-beach by building it up with hard stone heads' or stones could be adopted, but with the long haul of stone from the quarry he did not think $10,000 would be sui- ficient to eover this cost.

Marie Tempest, In "Mary Goes First" | On Thursday. The appearance of Miss Marie Tempest and her own all star Eng- lish company at the Grand on Thurs- day, Oct. 14th, promise to be an event quite as important socially as it is certain to be artistically Always a prime favorite, Tempest in addition to being the acknowledged comedienne par ex- cellence of the .English speaking stage, is personally a past mistress of all' those social graces and finesse that are the heritage of the English- woman of birth and breeding. "Mary Goes First". is, briefly, a story of English provincial society and is treated 'in the brisk, practical realistic manner of Arnold Bennett. Thurston, The Magician. That ingenious, alert and deftly mystifying worker in magic, Thurs- ton, will be the attraction at the Grand on Friday and Saturday ev- enings, Oct, 16th and 17th, and Sat- urday matinee, . He is not only an expert manipul- ator--a performer of feats that am- aze and confound the spectator----but he carries a vast tonnage of para- phernalia, a company of twenty-six people, and wittily keeps his audi- ences in the laughitg mood while working up to his sensational feats. Keeping abreast of the times and seeking to always have that of the best, Mr. THurston has invented and arranged for this season's program many new features. What he con- siders one of his greatest triumphs is the perfection of the remarkable mystery "Balaam and his Donkey," second in comparison to this is "The Evolution of the Negro," followed by "Noah's Vision," "Animated Sketches," "Aerial Fishing," 'The New Woman," "The Chocolate Sol- dier," and "Creation."

Pipes are going up In price. This: is the latest blow to smokers. It was predicted by onegdealer. to the Whig that the price of the common 25 cent. pipe would go to 50¢ before Christmas. All the amber used comes from Germany and the briar from Austria and Franc, and so no employed, but at the same time the city wanted returns for the work. He advised giving the engineer and the chairman of the Board of Works more latitude in securing the infor- mation desired. Ald. Graham wanted the clause of the report, re comstruction by com- crete, struck out. and - the: work dene with, timber. He asked 'Ald. Nickle to second a motion to this effect, but. Ald, Nickle said "no." Ald. Hoag said that there should be 'something definite in a report recommending an expenditure of $30, 000. He regarded the report of the Board of Works as rather pre mature. The fmancial side of the question had to be considered and in saying this he was just as much in favor of securing work for the un emploved ad any, member of the council. He did not not want to give the proposition a black eye' but be- fore, voting \on such a large expendi: sure. he desired all the details as re gards the work. Ald. Graham suggested sending matter back to the board for ther consideration. Not Pressing Scheme. Ald. Litton asked the city engi neer as to the expenditure in mater ial and labor for the putting down of cement sidewalks. The -engjneer replied, stating that the cost was half and half. Ald. Litton explaifed that the Board of Works was not pressing its scheme. When the matter of giving employment to men was first "taken up the question. of raising the taxes was not considered by some of members who were now opposing the expenditure; He was willmg to have the report of the finance committe withdrawn' and the matter referred to the Board of Worke. : : Ald. Kent was opposed to sending the resolution: back to committee. At the last meeting of the council a strong deputation had waited on the members: and impressed, upon them the importance of providing work for eo 'unsmployed. aos he Cor Ald. nt said that it would be & wise move to have the opinion of an expert as regards the concrete work. However, there was no harm in 'allowing the questioi to go to the people. It was up to them to decide. Ald. Harrison stated there wa no' feeling about the construction of the breakwater. The question 'to be decided was as to the best method of doing the work. Ald. O'Connor said the Board of Works Had information regarding thie buildiog of the breakwater with: the fur- -| concrete and the scheme was a good one. - If the work could be done in the winter it should go on. He favored a big Job being undertaken to give men out of work employ- ment, but, if it, . found that it would be a failure to undertake it in ;the cold. weather, he would say not to goon with it, on different. the | th Lumera tity engineer was asked for his opinion about the construction of the breakwater. He said it svould be folly to rebuild it of timber. He considered that concrete would be better in the long run, and also the cheapest. He had prepared plans for the concrete construction and these plans had been approved by late engineer, A. K. Kirkpatrick. The latter also confirmed h's figur es on the work After a great deal more discussi on, it was decided to allow the mat- ter to go back-to the committee for the purpose already mentioned. Will be Macadamized The Board of Works re~oramend- ed that in view of Princess street, between Barrie and Alfred street, being paved in the near future, it would be inadvisable to spent the amount of money necessary to re- macadamize it, and asked that the necessary repairs be made to the roadway. Ald. Graham immediately took strong objections to this recom- mendation being passed, stating that it was the worst piece of roadway in the country and should receive better attention. Ald. Hoag also stated that some- thing should be done to put it in good shape. . Asked for an estimate of the cost of macadamizing this portion of Princess street, the engineer stated that it would cost about $1,120, not including the track allowance. With e track allowance it would cost about $1,900. He further stated that only a portion of the work could be done this fall, but K Ald. Graham declared that all of the work could be finished this fall. Ald: Grabam moved that the work: of macadamizing this portion of the roadway be undertaken at once, and his motion was carried. On motion of Ald. Nickle it was decided to have the oity engineer attend a convention of the Ameri can Electrical Railway association, to be held at Atlantic' City, and to become a member of the said as- sociation. é, That the corporation of the City 'of Kingston pay an annual rental of six ver cent on the cost of $1,675. to the C. P. railway for the rails on the property of e Reliance Moulding company. The foregoing recommendation of the Finance Committte was refer- red back to the comniittee for fur- ther information,/on motion of Ald. Nickle, who wishes to sgcure in- formation as to the charges for rails, ete. Before adjourning the, council passed the necessary by-laws for the construction of the sewers and sidewalks decided upon: Ald.
