THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 24, 1915. THE BOARD OF WORKS TO TRY CLEANING THE PAVED STREETS WITH HOSE. Automobile To Be Sold For $125-- Board Passed Upon. Twenty-Eight Concrete Sidewalks That Will Be Constructed This Year, The Board of Works'is going to ex periment with hose for cleaning the the city. It decided yesterday afternoon to request the Fire Committee, of which Ald. 0'Con- nor is chairman, to permit a couple of firemen to use a hundred feet or 80: of hose Bh King street, between Princess and: Clarence streets, early some morning this week, and see how well the paved roadway can be glean ed and in how short a time. The Board thinks 'that $1,900 is too much to pay out jn a year for keeping the paved roadways clean. This was the amount expended last | year. The purchase of a motor flushing cart was spoken of, but this would cost $6, 000, The tamous automobile, which has heen used by the Works Department for the past two years, is to be sold for %125. The foreman of strects does not want the gasoline waggon, and the old standby, the horse, will be utilized, The 'City Engineer said he could not | recommend giving Dr. Lake permis- sion to erect porticos over the street line on Clergy street, as the by-law would not permit such construction. The bylaw to confirm an agree ment between the city and the manu- facturers on Ontario street, between William and West streets, with refer- ence to the railway siding to he con- structed, is being held up to find out if 'the city will he protected from damages that might arise by reason of property in that section being af- fected, owing to steam engines run ning over the siding. Ald. Nick: drew attention to this matter at the | last meeting of the City Council, and | Danger Signals the second reading of the by-law was delayed. The City Engineer reported that the sons of the late E. McFadden, who held & contract | with the city for street watering, were willing to con- tinue the. contract. The Board passed upon twenty- eight concrete walks that will be con- structed 'this vear, on recommenda- tion of the City Engineer. In attefidance at the meeting vester- day were Alds. Graham (chairman), Richardson, O'Connor, Couper, Peters and Nickle. ) PEPER PPREP PIPER PEPE PE IIP40 | NEWS OF MEN AT THE FRONT. % The Whig would be glad to % receive any telegraphic news ¢ receivell through the Militia De- & partment at Ottawa by relatives + of Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox 4 and Addington or Leeds cqunty # boys now serving in the & trenches at the front.

TO Should the Members Of the Police Force Be Given the Necessary Au- thority--Question Worthy of Con- sideration. Should police constables be given authority to convey men taken into custody while in a drunken state on jthe streets to their homes? There are a great many who be- lieve that the constables should be given such power, and the Whig has very often heard citizens express themselves in such a manner on this point. It is of interest to note that the police commissioners at Strat- ford have the question under con- sideration at the present time, and have sent a communication to the City Council, asking that the con- stables be alowed to escort the drunks to their homes, and that the necessary by-law be passed granting this power. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee. "It would be far better for the police to take home the drunks," said one citizen in discussing the question. "At least it would be bet- ter in a great many cases, although I will admit that in Some cases it would be far better to take them to the police station. Take the care of {a man who is arrested for the first time, on a charge of drunkenness. It { is perhaps his first step on the down-| ward path. He might never be found {in such a state again. If taken to [the cells there is a stain on his life which he cannot remove, and it is often the case, when a man is lock- ed up, he will become careless, and it is not long before he again falls into the hands 87 the police. Once taken in charge, he feels that his ambition is gone, he does not want { to do better, anid does not care about | the disgrace, for it is certainly a | disgrace for a man to 'be arraigned { before the magistrate in an open jfourt, filled with a crowd of idle {men who have no. feeling for the | poor unfortunates who fall into the | clutches of the law. | "True it is seldom that the | appearance drunk is punished, | nepertheless it is a disgrace, and this |is where it afings." | There is no doubt that the police {run across drunken men who would {be better in their own homes. For the "old-timers" there is nothing {fog "them 'but the police cells, and | afterwards the jail. A home for in- | ebriates is what is needed most but {the powers that be are very ' slow ito act along these lines. | Tt will be remembered that this was | the policy .put into effect by a recent { chief of police, at Cleveland, who be- {came known all over the world as | "the golden rule chief." | - Of _gourse it would not apply i members of the "prohibited list," for {they have to be questioned by the | magistrate regarding where they re- | cured' their liquor, {the penalty. But for the first | fenders, is the plan not worthy frst. of- of Another side of the question which { has a ed out i that toe of- {ten when a man is fined for drunk- enness the money is taken from a {home to buy bis freedom, which is {needed = to keep the wolf from the idoor, and in this way, women and i children are forced to suffer.

Navigation was officially for 1915 on Wednesday morning when the tug Ray Stanton owned by the Pyke Towing and Forwarding Company forced her way into the | Kingston Shipbuilding wharf, from Howe Island.

Every mother who fails to regain her health and strength after econ- | fmement needs a tonic. The years of {weakness and suffering which so of- ten follow are unnecessary and easily | avoided. The fact that her strength | does not return is a certain indica- | tion that her blood supply has been overtaxed and is impoverished. This | condition is often made worse when the mother takes .up her 'household duties when she is still weak, when | a complete breakdown results, The i strength a. weak mother needs can be {quickly found in the tonic treatment {with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These | | Pills increase and. emrich the blood ! supply, and thus bring health and | strength to the exhausted system. { Mrs. Robert Little says: "I have | of twenty-five | | years, and T could relate many cases, {relieved and cured, through the use {of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In ma- | | ternity cases which I nurse I always | {use thém and I know of no other | { medicine" that so speedily builds up | the mother at this critical time. I | {have also found them of great value | {in the case of young girls, and 1 can |add that as for myself they - have isaved me many a doetor's bill. I | feel safe in saying they are the best | tonic medicine I know of." ! { Nurding mothers will find Dr. Wil- | iams' Pink Pills will give 'her' just | {the strength she needs, and they will | {at the same time aid in keeping her | {child healthy. If vou do not find | | these Pills at your dealer's they will | be sent by mail at 30c.
