-e ---- 5 AGAINST DELAY IN ERECTING NEW STREET LIGHTS, 3 Ald. Clagston = After the Utilities Commission -- Fire Chief Reports - Fwenty-Eight Lamps Not Yet Er 'At the meeting of the Fire and Light committee Thureday afternoon Ald. Clugston n Sniered La strong pro; ns ities commisgiof tor not having placed the fro lights ordered last year at the var ious. points designated by the com miittée, Oply about half the lamp have been erected. Ald. Clngston ha £pecial reference to Rideau' war Where fourtéen lamps are still to b put up. There are a good number ¢ dark places in that ward, snd its re presentative is bound that the lamp to which it is entitled will be in dvi dence before the end of the yea: The chairman, Ald. Sutherland, ad vised Ald. Clugston to bring. the mai ter before the City Counell on Mor day evening. - i wy Chief Armstrong placed hime on record as being opposed to a present location of a moving pietur machine in Ontarfo hall for the cal dlers. The booth blocked the pas' sageway, and was against the stg. tute, He had reported the matte to the chief of police, who is respon- sible for the enforcing of the civik Jaws, The chief asked the committee t Bee that the resolution passed by the council recently with regard to pay ing civic employees on overseas Sor- vice was changed so that two firemer who were not yet overseas, but' go ing, would receive their wages, as intended. As the resolution at pres ent reads, the auditor is unable tc pass their wages. The chief further reported that he had agreed with Col. Hemming the of- fider commanding this district, to nt - tach two fire alarm boxes, to be pro- vided by the government, to.the fire alarm system, one near the cereal works 'and the other in Artillery park. The government is also pro- viding 600 feet of hose, five branch pipes and nozzles, ten axes, and siy plaster hooks for the cereal works, as well as placing large platforms at the west end of the buildings, for the purpose of exits in case of fire. : In attendance at the meeting were Ald. Sutherland, (chairman), Clugs- ton, Hanley, Gillespie and Stroud. Report On Street Lights, Fire Chief 'Armstrong ' presemwtéd'| the following report to the Fire and Light committee with Fogara to the electric lights for the streets; order There are four locations where the brackets have béen placed "on the poles but no lamps attached. Those are at Cherry and York, Alma and Balacava, Division and Pine, and at Rideau and Montreal streets. ' There are twenty-eight locations where no work has yet been done {ooking to the erection of lights as lollows: Beverley street; Kensington Avenue; Toronto and Johnson streets; Victoria and Earl; Victoria ahd Broek; Victoria and Mack; Vietoria sbove Mack; Regent; Nelson and Joneession; Nelson near fair grounds Albert and York; fork; Stanley and Lansdowne; Chat- 1am and Sixth; Vine and Ann; Rag- an and York; Raglan and Main; Redan; James and Patrick; Division md Concession; Russell and Divis, on; Patrick and Russell; Rideau and Raglan; Rideau near Bay; Princess Jetween Barrie and Division; at G. I.R.-and Princess. Brock and John- ston. 3 There are a large number of other ocations where lights are badly need ad 1a addition to the above, and I 'onsider the following eleven should 18ye lights at the least possible de- 3 Collingwood between Union and ng. There is a light at Union street nd from that point to King street is about 1,650 foot without a light, The me on King street is between Collihg wood 'and Albert streets. A light is needed at the gateway to.

Markland street is about 825 feet long without » Mght on it or at eith- ar end. = A light should be at least placed midway in this long block. On Charles street there is a- light it Montreal street but none further west, This stréet is well shaded with trées 'and '& light should be placed about: 250 feet east of Patrick street. On Rideau streef, a bend in the road betweei River and Cataraqui streets makes a very dark spot and asa fire alarm box is located at that point, I would urge that a light be placed at that point. University' avenue at the head of William. street is another place that should have a light, This street is very .dark during the summer months, especially on account of the trees, In addition to the lights alread: ordered for Princess, Brock, an Jolmson streets, at the railroad tros- sings) there should be another at the foot of Clarence street.

G. Publow, chief dairy instructor for eastern On- tario, addressing the members of the Fronfenac cheese board, at their final meeting of the seasom, .on Thursday afternoon. "With two or three exceptions the factories in the Kingston district have this year been kept in a much better condition. And the make of cheese has been much better. I think I am quite safe in saying that the quality has been superior. Only in three cases had the instructors to raise an ob- jection. This speaks well for the cheese in' this district, and I hope that you will not be weary in well doing.

Bored the fact that men wha had ormerly boarded their cheese in the board, did not do so now. In the olden days fifty and sixty factories boarded cheese while now there. wis but a paltry twenty. He asked that the matter be given serious congid- | | | eration, and that a campaign be started to increase the membership. TALK ON VENTILATION Given By Mrs, Robinson, a Victorian gy Nurse. .
