YEAR 82 NO. 36 FAVOR HOLDING ~ AND REPAIR BUILDINGS Citizens Give Their Opinions Money in Putting the Fair Grounds Into Ex-Mayor Abraham Shaw, when asked for his opinion regarding the holding of a fair, said that he was heartily in favor of holding a fall ex- hibition, but he was still of the same | opinion he held last year, when in the council, that the present fair grounds should be sold and the Cataraqui Driving Park be purchased and new buildings erected. He regarded the | present grounds as unfit for the fair, in that the ground was too low: Mr. Shaw stated that good options had been received on the present fair! grounds and that the new grounds! could be purchased at a most rea- sonable figure. The ex-mayor was for | four years manager of the Midland | Fair Association, . A. Shaw said he favored the: holding of a fair every fall, and that | he also favored the making of needed improvements to the present butid- | ings. J. B. McLeod said he was strongly in favor of keeping up the fall fair, | and also of the city keeping the pre- sent grounds. He thought it would be well for the city to help along with | the township men in the undertaking. He was in favor of having the fair | for the benefit of the people in the! Kingston district, and not making it a4 most elaborate affair. Kingston would derive a great benefit. He be- | lieved that the buildings could be put | into proper shape for what would be | regarded as a reasonable amount. Henry Crumley, when spoken to! by the Whig sald: "You can put me down as being strongly in favor of | the fall fair, and also favorable to! the buildings being put into proper' shape for the holding of it." R. H. Toye said he was in favor of a fall fair, but if a fair was te be held, he would say go on with the work of putting the buildings and grounds into shape so that they would give ample accommodation. He did not by any means approve of any scheme to do the work by piece-meal. John McKelvey sald that he was | not in favor of holding a fall fair, owing to. previous experiences. His motto was to go slow at the present | time until the war is over. The times are not the best and to spend money | upon repairs to the fair grounds and | , ing inte © ation the little good | that would be derived from a fair | such as Kings could arrange. A tall fale 1d be all right was W. H. Wortiwith's view of the ques- | tion. He sald he was not in favor oi repairing the old delapidated. build- ings. TOO much expense would be | incurred and no revenue of any ac- count received in return. The Fair] Association has advanced a proposi- tion to grant the eity so much for the privilege of holding its annual fair, but Mr. Wormwith would like & more | reliable guarantee before spending | money on repairs. "I am no farmer, therefore I do not wish for & fell fair in said 48 MeAuley. - There i no use of wasting niouey on fair grounds imiwovement. The better plan would be to pull the buildings down and sell the land for building lots. ° Transfer the fair grounds to the city limits, wis Charles Livingston's | view. @ only way for Kingston to expat! 18 to the northerly limits of the city.

Mr. Livingston was in favbr of a fall fair. just the same F. W, Coates would like to spe Kingston have a good fall fair such as Brockville and other similar sized places enjoy. To do this the build~ ings would have to be placed in fair condition, and this Mr. Coates would recommend. "It would be a good asset to the city to have the fair grounds placed into shape for holding a fall fair." « sald A. F. Chown. "The buildings need repairing ahd should be looked! after." " T. J. Rigney heartily endorsed the idea of holding fall fair: annually. Every person will endorse the idea good _ business proposition. If the fair is to be held continually, the buildings should be improved. In his opinion, the proper way, if it is found the co-operation of the different towns and municipalities that hold exhibitions. J. B. Walkem said that the fair should be held annually. The build- ings should be thoroughly repaired. It would be an improvement if the different townships could be induced to co-operate and make it a county tér. "By the way," said Mr. Walkem. "you may not know it, but with the assistance of the late Sheriff Fergu- son I bought the fair grounds From the government, and remember that we secured $1,700 for the sale of lots that we did not need and used the money in the present buildings." W. Campbell is in favor of hold- ing the fair and considers that the repairing of the buildings is an abso- lute necessity. He would advise that the buildings be put into proper re- pair; the holes in the grounds should be filled with the street scrapings. He would oppose selling the grounds. Thomas Mills," 120 University ave- nue, sald: "Yes, I am in favor of an honestly conducted fair on business principles, But let there be no milk- ing of the city to pay 'alleged deficits after a division of the spoils by those in authority as has been so repeated- ly done. Now is the time to start. Call a meeting and get a number who waste, take Want a fair to subscribe Fa egue. at, awa, they desire.

D. Bibby. "It would be a boon to the city, and jut the same time a good advertise- ment. No matter what the cost | would be of repairing the buildings, ! it would not be anything in propor. tion to what it would cost to tear the | buildings down and rdbuild them at Cataraqui Driving Park such as has been suggested. The present build- ings could be very reidily repaired | and 1 am in favor of doing this." L. C..Lockett's opinion is te first put the grounds and buildings into shape before talking 'fair', The latter is a good thing for any city to undertake, but if the buildings are! not suitable for merchants display- | Mg exhibits, then one wight as well) leave the matter alone.

The Senators have a single game margin on the Wanderers, as they have played one more match.
