QUESTION TO BE SEN TO THEYWEOPLE AT THE JANU- ARY ELECTIONS, Ald. Newman's Resolution Prevailed Over That of Ald: Graham, Who Wanted Eight Aldermen And Abo- lition of Ward 'System. At the municipal elections in Janu Y, the ratepayers will be asked to Vote on this question: "Are you in favor of reducing the number of aldermen in each ward from three to two and the aldermanic term from three years to one ! year! This was a resohition introduced 2 on Tues day night by Ald. Newman, and se onded by Ald Peters, and which car ried by a vote of 10 to 8. Ald. Nickle had introduced the question of aldermanic reduction by moving this motion, seconded by Ald. O'Connor That the following question be to the people at t election: "Are you in favor of the number of aldermen being reduced to eight, and being elected by a gen- eral vote of the people, thus doing away with the ward system?" An amendment to the amendment, moved by Alds. Graham and Gardi- ner was this: That the question to be to the people be: put submitted "Are you in favor of reducing the number of aldermen to ten and reducing the term from three years to one year?" The latter amendment was sufi- ported only by the mover and sec- ondey. Ald. Newman's amendment prevailed over Ald Nickle's motion Ald. Nickle's Presentation. In pressing for the reduction of the number of aldermen to eight, Ald. Nickle drew attention to the fact that thirteen cities of over 50,000 popu- lation had an alderman for an aver- age of 9,610 people. =lingston had an alderman for every 1,00 tion. Of eighteen places under 50,- 000, the average representation was one alderman for 2,136 people. ckle proposed th ave an alderman for about people. Eight of the most progres sive cities in Canada, namely, gary, Victoria, Edmonton, Regin Westmount, New Westminster, 8 Thomas and Gue men elected by general vote of the people and not by wards. Ald. Nickle said Kingston was not only over-governed with one alder- man, for every 1,000 of the inhabi- he next municipal | 0 popula- | Ald. | at Kingston should | 2,700 ! Iph, had their alder- i people He thought that civic im- provement would be marked by such a council. The ward system was a curse, he claimed, for it kept.out of | the eouncil seme of the best business men of the city. These men would not get down to the ward-begging level. Instead of a few men manipu- lating. the election of the couneil, Ald. O'Connor said that the people would elect their. representatives Conditions of electing the council should be changed to suit the condi tions of to-day. It appeared absurd to him to have twenty-two men gov- erning Kingston. More efficiency would be got from a council of nine Ald. Graham said his idea was to, reduce the number of wards to fiv, by amalgamating Sydenham, Ontarfo and St. Lawrence wards into one Mayor Sutherland remarked tht so far as he could the people wanted to get back to the one-yef term. see, iRAND OPERA HOUSE, Feldman and Christie Company Drawing Large Audiences Another large audience witnessed the 'Feldman and Christie's musical: comedy company at the Grand Opera House last evening. The piece pro duced was "The Heart-Breakems' The cs handled their _ different roles well. Beatrice Williams scored in "The Sweetest Girl In Monterey" and In the solo in "Cuddle Up." She was! loudly applauded. Mr. Bayard and Miss Agnes Geary contributed their! share in the singing and won ap- plause by their artistic tango dance Miss Ivy Tupper won praise for her ballet dancing. Mr. Christie made a hit in "Girls What Do You Think of That?" and his eccentri¢ dancing | Fe.dman sang several songs and won applause. The performance closed with "The Yama Man," in costume, by Miss Agmes Geary and the girls. The chorus acquitted themselves creditably. Nelson Adair, the double voice vocalist, contributed "In the + Heart 6f a Great City," "Mother Machree." To-night the bill will be "Dooley's Trip to Reno." Pickering--Veale A quiet wedding took place at the manse of the First Baptist Church on Tuesday evening, when Miss Pearl Veale was united in marriage to Harry F. Pickering. The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. Douglas Laing. After the marriage ceremony, the | bridal party drove to their new home | on Nelson street ere the brig-! held a reception for her numaions friends. The iarge number of valu- able and 'useful presents testified tc | the popu'arity of the eontracting | parties. The bridal pair left on the midnight train for Ottawa on their | | honeymoon trip...
