Fire Committee To Ask Council For) Permission To Call For Tenders-- Ald, O'Connor Opposed To the Proposal. The Fire' Committee 1 recom- mend to the City Council! that tend- ers be called for a triple-motor fire engine, a sub-committee having re ported in favor of the same from the standpoint of both economy and effi- tiency. The idea is to have a by- aw submitted to the people at the January elections for the issuing of debentures It is estimated that a triple-motor engine will cost $12,000 The sub-comutittee which consid ered the matter consisted of Alds O'Connor, Hughes and Falr The former was opposed to taking 'any ac- n while the other two members were very enthusiastic for the motor Chief Armstrong reported that it would cost $1,620.21 this year to maintain the city's horse-drawn fire apparatus He figured that a mot- or engine would effect an annual-sav- ing of $1,400, It would mean dis carding one fireman and four horses The chief read figures secured from various places in Canada and the United States showing the small cost of maintaining motor driven appara- tus The chief further said "From information supplied to me by chiefs in all parts of the country based on their - experience in all manner of road conditions, both winter "and summer, there is no doubt of the re liability of motor apparatus and from the result of the 12 hour tests at Cincinnati convention, and also at New Orleans in 1914, the motor pump is more reliable than the steam to steady pressure and also as to the cost of running the same, as well as cleanliness." Ald. O'Connor drew attention to the fact that about three years ago | when the ratepayers were asked to endorse the purchase of motor- driven fire apparatus, they gave the proposition "a slap in the face." . "They will do so again," said Ald. O'Connor; who declared that it would be impossible to get such a by-law passed. He was satisfied that the people did not want to spent money on such fire apparatus. He was a member of the sub-committee and would not sign the report, for he re- cognized that it would simply be a waste of time tg put the by-law. One i reat ebjection raised to motor ap- paratus in Kingston was that the winter conditions here were bad, and | that its success was not assured. Ald. Hughes said that he bore a responsibility as an alderman, and | he deemed it his duty to advise the i people that it was in the interests of economy and efficiency to purchase a motor fire engine. People some- times were heard to sdy if the fire apparatus was at a fire seoner, this building er that building might have | been: saved. The firemen could get {to a fire quicker on a motor engine | than on one driven by horse. AIT. FRIF agreed with Ald. Hughes. Although the people voted down the project some years ago, he deemed it his duty to advise the people once more to vote for a motor-driven en- gine. Nearly every city in Canada of Kingston's size had motor-driven fire apparatus, Ald, Newman saw the saving of much money by installing a motor | engine. He thought that the peo- i ple were prejudiced before against the apparatus, but was of opinhien that they werajymore favorable to it | now.

Kingston, Oct. 21.--(To the Edi- tor): I notice that the Board af Works has decided to ask the City Council to relieve the City Engineer of his duties in March next. I would like to know what thi§ means. I am convinced by personal inter- views with many ratepayers that the public generally are perfectly satis- fied with the work which has been done under the supervision of Mr. McClelland. Take, for instance, the block pavements supervised by him, as compared to those laid on Clar- ence street previous to the time he took eontrol, and who would say that they are not superior? Then it can- not be denied that Aberdeen pave- ment is not one of the best yet laid in this city, and men of experience have told me that this pavement will compare with any laid on residential streets ia any city of Canada. Yet the Board of Warks ask for the dis- charge of the City Engineer on the ground of incompetency, It is true Mr. McCfelland is not backed up in his opinion on all mat- ters relating to street work, or we. might perhaps-be saved time and money, and in some instances get better work done. His opinion is sometimes overlooked, and men of no experience in road-building pre- tend to know more about the work than the engineer, who has made it a study for years. Should not the en- gineer be given supervision of our public works, and stop each man ap pointed as chairman of the Board of Works coming to the position, with- out having previous experience, as- Suming to think that he knows more than the engineer? $ The taxpayers as a whole are sat- isfied to leave Mr. McClelland where he is, feeling that the work has been well dene as it would have been un- der any one else. They do not want greater burdens added to our already high tax rate. & The business section has now been paved, and the "White Way" in- stalled. Why, then, think of en- gaging a new man at from $2,500 to $3,000 extra, when our present en- gineer is quite capable of handling our residential streets, as evidenced by .the fine work on Aberdeen awe- nue? Would it not be possible that the difficulty between the Board and Mr. McClelland came about from the fact that he differed with certain men on the Princess street pavement, as re- gards the Kingston Street Railway, and again on the University avenue style of pavement to be laid, and as a result certain parties were not al- lowed to have their ways on these matters? It does seem to me that there are some persohs who are par: ticularly iuterested in a certain style of road, and they are so decided on their way of thinking that they get it into their heads that the engineer knows less than they do. We cer- tainly have men given to "fads" in connection with council work, who are prépared to persecute the engi- heer oF any one else who may think differently. It would appear that it is time the Couneil decided on a certain kind of pavement for the residential sec- tion, and put an end to each chair: man of the Board urging his "fad" upon the city, as many persons look 3 d tarvia, such as has in two years will no doubt have to be gone over. There is only one kind of pavement that is lasting, and that is to first lay a concrete Ay In_ con ,.1 wish to say that Iam not ly interested in the City Engineer, but as a taxpayer and a business man I want to see fair play --CITIZEN : .
