The Local Finance Committee Met Monday Afternoon--How the Cen- tral Fund Now Stands. There was a meeting of the Fi- nance Committee in connection with the Kingston Patriotic Fund in the Board of Trade rooms on Monday af- | front of the rooms, marched up Prin- | cess street 'as far as Clergy and re- | turned to the rooms at eight o'clock. ternoon. A-repoit was heard from those who attended the conference | which was held in Toronto under the direction of Sir Herbert Ames. These delegates, C. A. Macpherson and O. V. Bartels, intimated that the bal- ance at the cragit. of the Central Fugd at the end of Septémber was | given by L. Marchand, and songs by | over $2,000,000. The monthly dis- bursements now ran about $450,000, and without further contributions, in about four months the fund would be exhausted. It was estimated by Sir Herbert Ames that $7,500,000 will be requir- ed next year, in addition to the bal- ance now on hand, to meet the needs of the hour; and it was urged that each branch should raise as large a sum as possible without limiting it- self to the average over the Domin- ion, as many branches will be unable to reach the average. It was brought out that the contri- butions of Frontenac and Kingston sO far to the fund totalled $36, 796.32. Kingston's part of this contribution was $35,000 out of the total subscribed of $54,000. All the moneys padd into Kingston had been paid out again in relief, the last monthly account calling for over $4,- 000. It is pointed out-that Kings- ton is a military training centre, and that over 75 per cent. of the fanrflies cared for were from other places. And yet the amount subscribed and paid in was sufficient to take care of this district's proportion of the amount disbursed. The delegates pointed out that in connection with the sums | scribers to pay during the present | year the unpaid instalments, and if { this rule were generally adopted the Central Fund would not become ex- hausted befpre further support could be obtained. It was further reported that some very important and new rules had been adopted in connection with the distribution of relief, and through | the enforcement of these rules, | wisely and prudently, there will be already | subscribed it was found that many of the branches were asking their sub- | ~ | THE VETERANS' ASSOCIATION | Observed First Anniversary--Instal- lation of Officers. | The largest number which have { yet turned out for a meeting | Kingston Veterans' Agsociationy neet {ing gathered in the association's rooms in the Golden Lion Block on { Monday evening to gbserve the first {anniversary of the/ organization of | the associatjon. { the bugle band of the 59th Battalion, {after playing several, selections in The retiring commandant, Lieut.
