'The attention of the citizens of Kingston is called to the fact that we have in our midst some hundreds of soldiers who are more or less dis- abled. It Is the duty of our citizens to remember that these inen are our guests and te treat them according- ly. We know that some poor fel- lows have been here for months and have never received any attention at the hands of the citizens. Many of them have never been invited insides a private house. Our sin in this matter is one of omission rather than of commission, 'and it Is only necessary to bring it to the notice of the public to insure a remedy. These men have risked their lives for the rest of ms who were unable to go, and nothing that we can do is too good for them. 18 us resolve to know something of the it removed the sum of $19,000 from its rest-fund to keep the tax rate from advancing too sharply. Since the water department came under the Utilities Commission, it is claimed that it has had to stand more ex- pense than it should have had to do, Just what that expense has been one cannot determine. The Commission made a slight reduction in water rates in 1914 when the water revenue began to get top-heavy, but in 1916 the water department received quite & crack when over $17,000 was charg- ed up against fevenue for the Uni- versity avenme water main. The supposition is that the gas depart- ment benefited by this exeavation, but the waterworks paid the piper, Then in 1917, coal became expen- sive and hydro power came to the city. In order to yjilize the power, tiie waterworks must be electrified, and thé cost has mounted up to $30,000. "The waterworks must py the piper again out of its revenue un- Iéss the Utilities Commission can find another way. And if the waterworks was electrified for the benefit of the electrical department, would it be fair to charge the whole cost of the electric pump to the waterworks? These are some of the questions the aldermen are thinking over in con- nection with the Utilities Commission request for $30,000 for the electrical pump machinery. ibis shui HON, ME-MURPHY'S ATTACK, "Le Devoir poses still as the champion of the French-Canadian.
