Ald. Nickle said he would not support the clause until more information was forthcoming as to what kind of con- crete construction was to be used, and as to what kind of a plant the city could supply. _ "Throw it out or pass it," said Ald. Litton. "As one experienced in that kind of work, I would say that the work can be done satisfactorily with fhe plant the city can supply. The main object is to get the matter be- [fore the people at the coming elec- on." " 1d. Graham declared that the works department had not done what it 'was asked to do. It had failed to bring in specifications as instruet- ed. AN. Newman's amendment carried, calling for tenders.

There was some discussion on the following clause In the Board . of; 'Works report: {That the corporation of the city of Kingston co-operate with the in- dustry or industries desiring the con-' Btruction of a railway sing for tae carriage of freight from the Grand Trunk passenger Station in said city across William street and along On- tario street to West street." On Ald. Grabam's motion the clause was referred back for further report, the opinion being that care should be taken before committing the city to any action. On the request of Ald. Richardson the clause in the Board of Works re- port recommending that Victoria and Elderade streets be graded, and! #& sewer constructed therein, was' changed to read so that the streets: would be graded after the sewers are w Ald. Graham made the remark "that it was the custom in Kingston to tear up roadways after they were built. Further evidence caused the city solicitor to revise his advise with re- gard to the $12 claim of W. R. Ham- ilton for damages to his bicycle by his riding into an excavation at night and the claim will not be paid, It seems the excavation was properly guarded and lighted. King Street Breakwater. Tenders are to be asked at once for the reconstruction of the King street breakwater, owing to the faii- ure of the Board of Works to submit the detailed report abked of it some weeks ago. The board made this re- commendation: That this beard recommends the construction of the breakwater, King street west, In accordance with the plans and specifications prepared by the city engineer, and that the city solicitor be instructed to pre- pare a 'by-law to be submit- ted to the electors. at the time of the municipal election for the purpose of' raising the sum of $30,000 by the issue and sale of de' bentures to pay the cost of the same, E. H. Penge, government engineer, who has had much experience in this kind of work, will aid the city engi- neer in the construction. His services were secured through the efforts of the chairman and W. F. Nickle, M.P. Mr. Pense, who has gone carefully over the breakwater, reported that the timber under water was safe en- ough on which to build a super structure. He recommended concrete consteuction, as he considered it the opposed to timbe: and crib work. Mr, Pense said he considered the city en- gineer"s design as well adapted to the location and $30,000 a fair esti- mate, Concréte, he said, could be Taid on the coldest day, at a little extra expense. The winter was a good present time, as the level of the lake fs below normal. Ald. Newman read a specification on the work, which he had received from a loeal contractor, who figured that the work would cost about $18, tar too high for he felt sure that a better price than even $19,900 could be secured. Ald Newman moved that before a by-law was decided upon, tenders be called for the construction tenderers to supply their own plans and specifications; tenders to be re- ceived on Dec. 3rd. When these were received. there would be plenty of time to advertise the by-law. Ald. Graham claimed that a big "fice shove would rip up the concrete 'wall proposed by the city engineer, A by-law for $30,000, he said, would be snowed under. Ald. Nickle was disappointed at the Board of Works new report af- ter such a long delay. Up till the pre- sent there were no specifications. The more economical in the long run, as' time to: build, and especially at the] $00. He thought that $30,000 was} Ald. Nickle declared that he was entitled to at least scant courtesy when_he moved in council for infor- mation. Four weeks ago he asked for information with regard to the eity engineer's office, with a view f{o reorganization, the four weeks had passed, and the Board of Works chairman could not give that infor- mation, which should have been forthcoming. Ald. Litton had explained that the delay 'was owing to the fact that the Board of Works, and, the Utilities Commission had not yet come to dn agreement as to having all street ev- cavation under the direction of the city engineer, Ald. {dickle replied that the eity engineer already had full control of the street excavating. Two years ago the authority was given him. More Street Lights. The recommendation of the Fire and Light Committee that ten much- needed street lights be erected at specified places brought out a warm discussion. Alds. Graham, and Nickle withdrew their names from the com- mittee's report, The latter wanted to know about the contract with the Ut- ilities commission, No one could tell if there was such a document, and Ald. 'Nickle therefore, intimated that he could not vote for any more street lights ufitil he knew something about the contract conditions. However, the additional light clause was adopted and lamps. will be erected at the following locations: Collingwood between Union and King streets, At the gateway to the Roman Ca- tholic Orphange on King street. urham street just west of Vie. toria, street. A large tungsten. Markland street midway in block, Charles street, 2560 feet east Patrick street. Rideau street between River and Cataraqui streets. University Ave., William street. Foot of Clarence street. Corner William and Ontario street Tete de Pont barracks gate. The Property committee recom- mended that three open skating rinks be estblished this winter for the children, Ald Kent thought taat ec- ononiy should «be practiced, and moved that the rink clause in the report be struck out. The council, however, decided in favor of the the of at the head of MISS AGNES GEARY, With the Imperial Musical Comedy company, at the Grand for five nights, commending Tuesday, NOV, 24th, pre- senting the opendng bill, "The Girl From Chill." To-night Musical Comedy Feldman and Christie and their big 'musical comedy company will offer ds an opening bill the well known Broadway success, "The Girl From Chili." It is delightfully 'mu- sical and intensely comic, - ringing songs alternate with scenes of de- licious humor and the whole is bril- lant with color. There are four- teen or fifteen song hits of the eptehy kind and several electrical novelties. The music of the piece is of the good kind gnd no ene can hear the melodious tunes without getting pleasure out of them. The Imperial Musical Comedy company will be at the Grand Opera House for five' nights commencing to-night with a different play every night. «of i Recalled To England. ~~ - Major-General Panet, of the Royal has been recalled to Eng- force from India.

COUNCIL IN PASSING THE MILE BY-LAW, Vendors Protest Against Being Re- quired to Bottle Milk--They Say it Does Not Make it Cleaner. The new Wilk by-law received an- other two weeks' holst by the City Council on Monday might. This measure which aims at the securing for the people of clean and whola- sone milk, was carefully prepared by toe Board of Health, and revise! by the eity solicitor. The chief ob- jeclien raised to it by the majority of the vendors is with regard to the ciauge sequiring that all milk mus. be sold in bottles. x Waen the council . resumed the second reading of the by-law there was a general discussio miik venders were present to pro- tr3t against bottling, claiming that this would not give the people clean milk, One vendor sald he had been in'a local dairy, and saw filthy methods. When a bottle overflowed he had seen the man in charge tak. Ing a gulp out of it and then put- ting on the little pastéboard cover. This vendor also said that it wis the stringent rules that were in- creasing the cost of milk. Ald Nickle said he was convinced that bottled milk was the cleaned: Alds: Couper and Kent disagreed. holding that milk sold in bulk was sust as clean as that In bettles. Ad Couper said a man had brought iats his store a bottle gv h milk that was di cidedly dirty. ; . Ald. Kent moved that the clause with, regard, to bottling be struck ore i > Ald. Nickle declared that all ei dence from eutside plaics was in favor of bottled milk as the claan est. The by-law was brought to the City Council by the Board nf Haalth which koew what it was doing. Ald. Sutherland said it wai no! » matter of dollars apd cents, but 2 question of mortality among .in fants. The council must act in ih: interests of the people, and not of the vendors. He moved that the cecmmittee 'rise and report piigrese £5 that before next meeting every rember of the council migs. satus, the question thoroughly. Ald. O'Connor wanted to give the vendors a fair show. He was not ip favor of monepply. However he wanted to do the best thing in the interests of health, and to have 2 | fuller discussion. Ald. White told of 3eeing doe helping themselves to milk delivered to a house in an open receptacle. Ald. MeCann remarked that he received better milk in bulk taar in_boftles. He was in . sympathy with the vendors and he was in fay or of clean milk, Ald. Richardson pointed out tha' the by-law came from the Board -f Health which was a body that kne « lie conditions which privailed and bad conditions. The o"ect of th: by-law was to conservs the. lives of the citizens. 'While it is hare on some people to have the propos od regulations, it is harder upon the €reat majority not to have the re gulations. Jt was the duty of tin council to do everything it could to reduce the death rate by passing measures towards that end. Ald. Newman favored delayi:, putting the by-law into effect for three months to give the vendors ¢ chance to prepare for the change. Ald. Nickle asked what was the use of delay. Let the council be big enourh to tackle the question before it. The bv-law had been delayec lon~ enough. The vote was 8 to 4 in faver of 3 Sling over the passage of the by aw. At present three or four vendors sell milk in bottles. meinem SCHOOL CADET CORPS -- Will Eikely Be Made Compulsory Shortly. In the near future it is likely tha' the organization of scheol cadet corps will be compulsory. Sir John French said recently that if a nation expects to be ready to meet an em- ergency ske must begin the military training in the schools. The follow ing is an extract from an article in "Canadian Defence." "If the plans of the Ontario De- partment of Education are pursued, it's understood that some well-de- finad system. for training school boys will be adopted. in the near future It is stated that there will be cadet corps" formed in all the public schools wherever possible, the same As exists in" Toronto .and some of the larger eitles.
