A deputation was present from the Kingston Children's Aid Society, consisting of the president, Rev. Douglas Laing, G. M, Macdonnell, Rev. T. W. Savary and W, Wie, tie society's inspector. The ety made an appeal fo their work, hep tn Rev. Mr. Laing stated that the society had been having a great deal of trouble with neglected children, and pointed out that under the Children's Protective Act provision was made fdr the cost of earing for these child to be met by the city. The majority of the cities recogniz- ed this fact, and made the necessary provision in their budgets. Many cities realizing the importance of the work, had responded liberally. In Kingston the work of the society had been going on for twenty years. It was very small at first, but now the work was growing very fast, with the result that the expenses were very heavy. Rev. Mr. Laing further stated that the Finance Committee of the Kings- ton council had decided on a grant of $300 to the society, but as yet it had not been forthcoming. The homes providing the care for the children were in need of the money, and he asked that the grant be paid. The Orphans' Home and St. Mary's- on-the-Lake Orphanage had been giving accommodation, and the so- ciety felt very grateful to these in- stitutions. The great trouble of the society was in getting accommodation for children under three and over twelve years of age, as they could not be taken in at these institutions. An- other great peed of the society was a detention room for young children. At the present time a room was be- ing utilized at the police station, but this was not a suitable place for children, Mayor Richardson stated that ar- rangements had been made for the institution mentioned to care for children to the limit of their ca- pacity, that the city had made pro- vision for meeting all the accounts for the expenditure, and that no ac- Counts would go tq the Society. Rev. Mr, Laing said that the So- ciety had been given to uaderstand that the City Council was respon- sible for the care of the children, and that the money sould be paid over to the Society. He called upon Mr. Wyllie to read a letter he had re- ceived from the assistant provincial decretary on the matter. The lat- ter read this letter, in which it was stated that the Corporation must provide the neceSsary funds for the care of the children, G. M. Macdonnell stated that un- der Section 12, of the Children's Pro- tective Act, the city was called upon to pay $2 per week for the care of every child committed by a judge. "T'his means that the Society will get $2 no matter if it costs that much or not," said the Mayor. Mr. Macdonnell stated that this was the provision which had been made, and that it could be done no other way, Mayor Richardson thought that so long as the city paid for the care of the children and the Society was not billed for the expenditure, every- thing should be satisfactory to the Society. Ald. Nickle said that it was not a question as to what the city was pre- pared to do. The Society was en- titled to $2 per ' week for every child, no matter if the cost did not amount to more than ten cents. Ald, Nickle contended that the great trouble had been due to the fact that the children had not been properly committed by the judges. Mr. Wyllie was heard on the mat- ter, and he stated that he could not get the proper accommodation for his children. Just recently he had brought an infant to the city from Fort William, and could not get the child placed in an institution, He also had to keep a thirteen-year-old girl in the Police Station for a few days. The deputation irom the Society was informed that the matter would be considered. Exercise For Fire Horses. Ald. Nickle stirred up a lively dis- cussion when he moved, seconded by Ald. Corbett, that City Park and the Fair Grounds be used for the exer- cising of the horses on the Fire De- partment, He(declared that the horses could not be given proper ex- ercise on the streets, and that as a result of being kept in their stalls, the horses suffered a great deal. He asked that the firemen be allowed to exercise the horses in City Park ard the. Fair Grounds for a shoit time each morning. The horses at the Brock street station could be. taken to the Fair Grounds and the horses at the hall on Ontario street to City Park. Ald. Kent, chairman of Parks' Committee, immediately took strong objection to having the fire horses: using City Park. Iie regarded the scheme as pure nonsense. "There is no macadam on the roadway in City Park," said Ald. Kent." The roadway is made up of cinders. There are plenty of streets for the horses to exercise on. "If they exercised the horses on the streets, they might be arrested," said the City Clerk. "It is against the law," said AM. Nickle, Ald. Kent declared that City Park was no place for the fire horses. If they travelled at an ordinary jog, it would not be so bad, but for real lively sprinting it was out of the question. The Fair Grounds was the proper place for such exhibitions. An effort was being made to keep the parks of the city in good shape, and such a thing should be al- H.| get in. that City Park was one of the finest oil had been signed.

They go three blocks and then they hesitate. I know City Park is a "Garden of Eden," and there is al- so more than one Adam there, but let us get the horses in, too." Ald. Gillespie said that it would be dangerous to children to have the fire horses in the Park. The Park was visited by many chNdren, The Parks he said should be protected. A visitor to the city had.told him parks he had ever seen, Ald. Couper was of the same opin- ion as Ald. Gillespie." If the horses want exercise," he said, "let us try the Fair Grounds lIrst." Ald. Peters said that he had at first favored the scheme to allow the fire horses in the "ark, but had af+ terwards felt that it would be dan- gerous, and he now advocated try- ing the Fair Grounds, Ald. Kent and Ald. Hughes moved an amendment, to have the horses taken to the Fair Grounds, and after some further discussion, the amend- ment was carried by a vote of 6 to 4. Citizens Want Oil. Ald. Couper wanted to know why the oil the city had ordered had not been placed on the roads. Citizens had paid for it, and the streets were being watered. Ald. Peters, chairman of the Board of Works, said he did not know if the oil had been ordered or not. He did not know if the agreement for the The oil was contracted for with a Montreal firm, and as a result of Ald. investigate and see why the oil has not been delivered. On motion of Ald.

"He came to Kingston and made an inspection of pavements here," added Ald. Hughes, "and he stated that the pavements on Wellington and Princess streets were the best of their kind he had ever seen. This is certainly something to be proud of, and it speaks well for the men who had the contracts." Ald. Nickle said that it should go on record if the Engineer recommend- ed sheet asphalt for University ave- nue. The City Engineer stated that he would recommend sheet asphalt for University avenue. y A letter was received from the En- gineer in which he recommended that no paving be done this year on University avenue between Clergy street west and Princess street owing to the many excavations which had been made in this district, He said that the pavement, if put down now, would be defective, as the ground would not have been settled.

Nickle brought an old mat- ter to the attention of the Council, He had reference to a defect in the near the corner of King and the corner of Wellington street. These defects caused the water to splash on the sidewalk, and as a result passers-by have their clothing damaged. The matter was threshed out in Council some time ago, but it was agreed to let the matter stand over to see if the trouble would be over- come. It has not been overcome, however, and for this reason Ald. Nickle moved to have the contractor remedy the evil. Ald. Kent second- ed his motion, which was carried. talk- area want BEST EQUIPPED HOSPITAL Is That Conducted By Quéen"s Uni» versity Unit. Dr. E.. W. Henry, son of W. H.
