Minnes reported that a pro- test had béen made with the Board of Railway Commissioners, regard- ing the cutting off of the extra train between Kingston 'and Toronto, namely the one leaving here at six a. m, and leaving Toronto at six p. m. This train was a great conven- ience to Kingstonians, and it was to be regretted that the railway com- pany had seen fit to dispense with it. However, owing to the falling off in busine which had been experienced by. the company. the train had bee; cut off.

Technical Education, The board had placed before it correspondence from the Ontario As- sociation fer the Promolion of Tech- al Education, regarding the for: mation of a branch in Kingston. This matter was taken up at a meet ing held by Mayor Shaw, a few days ago, anu J. ( Iliott, who was among those present at the meeting, gave a report. He said that the Board of Rduca- tien had inaugurated free technical classes in the city, and was very ah- {xious to promote them. At first these classes had been rather poorly attended, but the Board of Educa- tion had advertised them, with result that the attendance had been much increased. It was hoped that tirey would prove of great advantage to the men and women. When the new addition to the Collegiate Insti- tute was finished it was hoped to in- crease the accommodation for this , work, and that a technical school | thorcughly equipped in every way, would be established, with the assist- ance of the dominion government which had a few years ago sent a special commisgion all over the coun- try to seek information regarding the work. At the meeting held by the mayor it had been decided-ta put the correspondence from the Ontario agzociation before the Board of Edu- cation. The public publicity committee of board met and discussed this matter, and a report was submitted by Frank Anglin in the absence of! the chairman, Ald. J. 8S. R. McCann. The committee recommended that the committee take further time to con- sider the advisability of formin branch in the eity. The report was adopted. The president calléd the upon Ald. of the board which recently waited ing work to the unemployed. He said that work undertaken included Princess street and a street.
