In his address, Dr. Edwards refer- red to the work of the conservative! party regarding the establishment of | rural mail, since 1911. The people in many of the townships were in & position to get daily mail right at their own doer. The northern part of the county of Frontenac was also to receive consideration, and he ask-| ed the residents to map out what' they would consider good routes, so that fhe matter be considered, as the speaker did not intend the matter, to rest with the present resultz. . He! intended to go still further® He refer- red to his introduction of cuw 'test-| ing in the county, which he declar- | ed was meeting with good results| Speaking of the roadway extending | into Barriefield from the bridge, 'a distance of two and one-tenth miles, | which has been taken over by the | government, Dr. Edwards said that] there was a movement to have this paved with concrete, and that the prospects of getting the work done | were bright. Touching on penitentiary affairs, the speaker said that he had been misunderstood by some people, and | misrepresented by others. It was| immaterial to him wha occupied the! position of warden, deputy warden! or surgeon, but if the minister of justice was correct in saying that conditions at the "pén" were differ-| ent than a short time ago, the speak-| er félt that if he had never before done anything in the interests of | humanity, this had certainly shown that there had been some reforms as| a result of his protest. He believed that no man was 8o0| bad but that some good could be! made of him if an appeal were made | in the right way, He wanted the conditions at the "pen" to be such | that as Canadians we would not be) ashamed of the treatment given to] the poor unfortunates who had to be | locked up. Dr. Edwards also had something | to say regarding the proposal of the! Canadian Pacific railway to close se-| veral of the stations along the line. | The county of Frontenac he said had | given a bonus of $150,000 to this| road: stations had been erected and] settlements created. The closing of | these stations would be a source of | great inconvenience to thé people. It] was a matter the reeve and the coun! cil of Frontenac were taking up, and he said . he wbuld. co-operate with) them in an endeavor to give the peo- ple of the county the privileges they | should have. | A. M. Rankin Speaks. Mr. Rankin referred to the loss sustained by the Ontario legislature | Ethrough the death of Premier Whik-| 'ney, but stated that in Hom. Mr. | 'Hearst, the party had an able suc- |} cessor, and he felt sure the party ould have every reason to be proud of him and his work. Mr. Rankin referred to complaints | which had been made about the fair grants being cut down. It was the intention of all the rural members of | the house to do all in their power to have the grants increaséd. The gov- ernment, owing to the war, had found it necessary to make a cut, It was the same with the government | as with the individual. In hard times expenditures had to be curtailed, He! also referred to the county: school' gfants, stating that he hoped that the government would be able to give the usual grants, He also made re- ference to the part he had taken in having special lectures given in agri-| culture, and regretted very much the fact that the attendance at these lec-| tures had been so small. s~ Only One "BROMO QUININE."

Lake, who asked for permission to erect porches in| front of his three houses at the cor- ner of Clergy and William street, and §i offering to pay a nominal rental. is! houses are already on the street line. ! | The matter was referred to the chair- man and the engineer for report. i The right of the Utilities Commis- | sion to make excavations in the Ji streets, without the authority of the} city engineer, was discussed briefly, | and the opinion prevailed that the engineer should be ified whenever |} the Utilities department found it} necebsary to make an excavation. The engineer stated that the light! and water departments had been treat-| ed as parts of the civic corporation, with regard to excavatioms, There | was no doubt, be said, that he had, full authority over the roads. Ald, Graham said that the Utilities | Commission should be allowed to con- tinue 'doing all its own exeavating, | | tar it did the work cheaper thah the city works department did.

A resolution was passed, on me-| tion of Alderman Richardson that} i all excavation work dome in the § streets by the Utilities Commission |} must, be under the direction of ihe] | city engineer, and all excavations | must be filled to his satisfaction. The city engineer reported that the board required over $24,000 for] street work this year. Last year it spent $17,915, but asked for $27, 000. In attendance were Alds.
