The Fire and finds that th Light Committee lities Commission is fiot going pt the sum of $16,- 000 in full street lighting this That amount was all that the Council provided in the bud- ll get, and if Hydro-Electric power had }| arrived in Kingston early- in the sea- dl on and saved some of the Utilities ommission's coal, perhaps the $16,- ll 000 would have covered the lighting bill. But Hydro power from the Trent will not be here for another week at least, so that the year has ll! practically. gone without any benefit being got from it. , The Utilities li Commission, owing to the high prices ll} of coal -and oil, faces deficits in both electrical and gas departments, and it is not to be wondered at that it wants the city to pay in full for street ll! lighting and is not agreeable tq take You have all Canada behind you" as guarantee of the safety of every dollar you invest in this loan.

Polson, chairman of the com- || mittee, stated that next year the city might have to pay a higher rate ior street lighting. At present the ordi- nary arc lamps cost the city $60 each and the "white way" lamps $75. Un- less the advent of Hydro power makes a difference, the city may be taxed twenty-five per cent. more. It seems that the tendency in other places is to charge for street lighting so that the commissions may be able to offer power to manufacturing con- cerns at the lowest possible rates, It was decided to notify the Utili- ties Commission that a number of arc lamps are reported>to be continually going out, and that they should be given attention. Chief 'Armstrong, who had his foot badly injured in the Boyd garage fire some weeks ago, was able to be pres- ent at the meeting. The members in attendance were: Alds. Polson, Clugston, Millan and Hooper. STEAMER COMPTON HAS GONE AGROUND Went on in Lachine Lake Running Light on Way to Treriton. The steamer Compton went aground in Lachine Lake on Tues- day.
