In Po- lice Court Thursday morning Magis- trate six months in jail In addition to the suit of clothes, Wiggins also helped himself to an overcoat, a shirt, a pair of boots and a scarf belonging to the house. The door had been left unlocked so Wiggins found no trouble in secur- ing an entrance. 'I guess I am guilty, but I do not know anything at-all about it," was all that the accused could say when he was arraigned before the magis- trate, ; "In fact I did not know where I was," added Wiggins, "lI am very sorry. This is the first time I was ever in trouble." Both Barr and Wilson stated that Wiggins had been drinking but that he was not under the influence. He could walk well, and appeared to {know everything he was doing. When Barr caught Wiggins the latter made an attempt to jump out the window, but there was no chance as_Barr had a good firm grip on hi He then tried to square mat- ters with Barr and Wilson by invit- ing them to a hotel to have a drink. His kind offer, however, was refus- ed. Wiggins had a sad tale to about having $30 in his possession when he struck the city on Wednes- day morning.

The. following letter has been sent to the Mayor and members of the City Council by Chie Engineer Gaby, of the Hydro-Eleetric Power Commis. sion : ' "Some time ago, at the request of your honorable body, we engineered for you the installation of your orna- | mental street lighting system. After | plans were made for the first instal- lation you requested a further exten- sion of the lights on other streets. | There lights were installed, apparent- ly to your entire satisfaction, and from press reports the results have been eminently satisfactory, "We find that at the present time you are only operating halt of the ninety-six lamps installed, apparently with the idea of saving on the ex- penses of street lighting. This mat- | ter has been brought to the atten- : 4 "rim i. .s 1.

We write to explain this mat- ter to you. "As you know, the investment made and the fixed ninety-six lamps has to be borne whe ther they are burning or not. By turning off hali the lamps you mere- ly save in current consumed and in renewals, such as electrodes, etc. We | have estimated that the saving per {year 'due = to these factors is only about $1,400. This is a small item when. it is considered that you sacri- | fice the use of half of the lamps and, | | therefore, bali of your investment. In- stead of a modern and pleasing 'white way' effect, your main street lighting | | presents a vepy pbor/ appearance to | | the stranger coming fo the city; it | | appears as though an error had been | | made in installing so many lamps. | With the total number of lamps burn- | no more light than is | to give a real 'white-way' | vhich, for advertising value | is certainly worth the price, | he Commission engineered this | | matter and installed the system at | | your request, we feel a vital interest | | therein, and also since, with the pres- | ent me of operation, : the unin- might judge that we.er- ling so extensive a sys- ~*"We--beg to present this 'matier for | Your careful consideration, and trust that you will find it possible and | more satisfactory, all things econsid- | ered, to operate the full number of | Inmpe and secure the maximum bene- | oe the effect produced.

There was a meeting of the - Board of Police Commissioners on Wednes- day afternoon when a new constable was appointed on the police force to take the place of Lesslie Clark, who recently handed in his resigna- tion, and arrangements were mafle for two of the police constables to take up the' annual inspection of yards and premises on May lst. Trumun Cherry was appointed the vacancy on the force. He Kingstomian, of sturdy build, and no doubt will be able fo fill all the duties required of him. He goes on the force at once. Constable "Nick" Timmerman will be transferred to the Board of Health Department to carry out his annual inspection. He will be assisted by Constable Daniel McCarey for two months, and then finish up the re- mainder of the work himself. As the constables will start out on their rounds om May Ist it would be | wise for citizens to take advantage of the present fine weather so as to have their premises in good shape * when they make their calls. One of the members of the Com- mission was asked by a Whig repre- sentative if anything had been done at the meeting relative to the Nic- kle charges. 'No, there about this matter," | to 18 a wag nothing done was the reply. | y | ?
