THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1918. PAGE FIVE THE STREETS ESTIMATES BOARD OF WORKS REQUIRES $27,000 THIS YEAR. St. Mary's of the Lake Orphanage Complaint About Flooding--Sal- aries of City Engineer and Streets Foreman Increased. At the Board of Works meeting last evening a claim for damages by St. Mary's-of-the<l.ake Orphanage, on account of flooding from an old water course was discussed Ald. Norris spoke in regard to this mat- ter and stated that last spring the orphanage ground floor was flood- ed to a depth of from nine to $®elve inches... An opening through the walk in Union street allowed the water to flow through and down over the orphanage land. The city engineer stated that there would al- ways be trouble there as the orphan- age building was in a hollow. Most of the water in freshet time came came from St. Mary's own ground, which 'was perhaps ten feet higher. The extra amount of water from the street could be prevented going over the orphanage land. i The chairman and the engineer were instructed to take what action they deemed necessary in remedying the situation, in so far as the city's highway. was responsible for the flooding. The Board decided to accept an offer of settlement of the claim made by Senator Richardson regard- ing the blockage of a private drain to this William street building through the building of the retain- ing wall at the foot of William street. The settlement was recommended by City Solicitor Whiting. The city provided an entrance into the Wil- liam street tile sewer for Senator Richardson and will pay $116.59 in addition. Ald. Wright advocated passing a by-law providing that every pro- perty owner using a private sewer he required to close it up and enter in- to-a public sew * It was decided on motion of Ald. Wright that Howard 8. Dick, who has gone overseas with the artillery, "CASCARETS" FOR 'HEADACHE, COLDS, LIVER, BOWELS Enjoy Life! Don't Stay Bilious, Sick, | Headachy and Constipated.

The city engineer's ed for $27,000 for Last year $22,412.79 expended. The estimates call for $4 588 more than in 1917, and of this amount $2,400 is for additional snow clearing on the streets owing to the severe x Snow clearing this year will cost about $6,000 as compared with $3,600 last year. Ad- ditional money will be required for tree trimming and street cleaning. The Board decided to recommend to council that the salary of the city engineer be increased from $1,500 to $1,609, and that of the foreman of streets from $1,000 to $1,100. The city engineer will have to drive a horse again this year, as the Board did not like purchasing an automobile. However, the alder- men will see to it that a decent look- ing horse is rented, as the one placed at the engineer's disposal last year was a sorry looking roan. A hackney horse may not be secured, but at least one will be engaged that is plumy and free of rheumatism and stiffnoss. In attendance at the meeting were Alds.

Still a mere youth in years, but a man, in that he has played a man's part with other brave fellows in France, for over two years, Pte. Paul Craiton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Gratton of 84 Walter street, Ottawa, has done his "bit." He has ben spending a few days in Queen's Hos- pital prior to leaving for his home. His mother, sister and brother came to Kingston to see him. The young fellow, who only pass- ed his eighteenth birthday last Sep- tember whilq Be was still in his place in the trenches, has been away from home for 29 months, has been two years and three months in the actual war zone, and despite it all has come back without a scratch. It seemed as if Providence was kind to him because he was so young and, al- though he had many a trying ordeal he is to-day none the worse for his great adventure. Once when he was asleep in a huge dug-out with 150 other soldiers a bomb from the enemy lines was dropped in and exploded. On the opposite side of the dug-out most of the slumbering men: were either killed or badly wounded and on the side Pte. Gratton was lying the man in the bed next to him was kill- ed, but about the only thing the bomb did to make him wake up and mutter something about being disturbed from a much needed "nap." Pte. Gratton leaves a brother in a grave in France. Albert Gratton en- listed at a very youthful age in 1915 with an Ottawa infantry draft and one night when he was about to start off on a message for his colonel he was shot down and instantly killed. He was 19 years old when he died. Paul had met Arthur the first day he landed in france and had been with him almost continuously. He heard of his brother's death two hours af- terwards and was able to be present at the funeral the next morning. Paul Gratton has returned home because his mother wanted kim. She asked "for his release and the mili- tary authorities granted her request. Her son has spent three birthdays in France, his 16th, 17th, and 18th, He enlisted with the 5th Field Com- pany, Canadian Engineers, at Ottawa and went overseas on April 15, 1915.
