TAIL THE | AR : OUTPUT OF POWER, SAYS HYDRO COMMISSION. Owing to Increased Demand by Munition Plants and the Low Water in the Trent This Season. ~ At 'a meetige of the Utilities Com- mission on onday afternoon the power question was once again un- der discussion. The tollowing let- tér was received from F. A. Gaby, chiel engineer of the Hydro-Electrie Commission of Ontario: "Large demands Tor power from munition manufacturers, combined with extremely low waterflow in the' Trent river, make it necessary to curtail for the present any addi- tional. power business. It is, there- fore, necessary for the Commission to ask that until further notice you will not take on any new power con- tracts' or permit the 'installation of additional power equipment in the plamts of existing consumers with- out first submitti the matter to this Commission Tor-approval. Ap- proval cannot be given unless the power is required for work of na- tional importance. "No restrictions are placed onthe supply of current for commercial or domestic purposes a! the present time, Should any such peésirictions De NOCEpsUry YOu Wisi ve auvised a once." The Utilities Commission has been arranging to increase ita pow- er load in order to be able to fecure advantage of lower rates from the Hydro-Electric (Commission. The waterworks pump will require 300 horse-power, the locomotive works another 300 and other concerns an equal amount. However, it is like ly that the provincial Commission will sanction giving power to all these, but the local Commission is held up with regard to trying to further extend its power opevations Lower Rates Held Up. Elmer Davis, of the Davis Tan- nery Company, was present and dis- cussed with the Commission the question of lower rates that were promised and which must be put in- to effect if Kingston is to entice manufacturing concerns here and also encourage present manufactur- ers. to extend their businesses. Chalisman Chown pointed out that just at present it would be im- possible to put the new rates into effect until the local Commission definitely understood just how far it could go in extending the sale of power. It would this month have to take a larger ""block from the Trent, but would have to keep its steam plant going in order to keep the peak load within bounds. It would cost money to operate the steam plant, and lower rates ap- peared to be out of question for the time being. : Mr. Davis contended that the Commission must take some risks just as business concerns do if it was to succeed in making the elec- trical business profitable, To this Mr. Chown replied that the Commission had to follow the course land down by the Hydvo- Electric Act. .

At its next re- gular meeting the Utilities Com. mission wil deal further with the matter of lower rates for power Street Railway Badly Treated. Superintendent H. C. Nickle of the street railway company again made tomplaiat to the Commission with regard to the poor service giv- en the cars. In order to keep down the peak, fhe cars had been Jeft stall ed in the sucels at various times The other morning the Hydro-Elec- tric Commission was wot sending enough power over the line to start the street cars. Breaks on the line were too frequent. Owing .to the IN LETT THE poor power service the etreet rail- way company since March had lost 2,500. ; General Manager Folger said that he thought the railway would get a better service this month. He knew it had been hard hit' and even "tripped up.'a Mr. Nickle remarked that the Hydro engineers had fallen down badly on their promises (o get things going. They 'were great at making promises, but failed to carry them out. ~~ Hydro Power at Waterwofks. Manager Folger reported that he hoped te have the waterworks en- gines punning by hydro power on Tuesday. Connection was made last Saturday, but a few adjustments had to be made to make things per- fect. The Portsmouth line had not yet been connected up, but would be as soon as certain poles were erected. + ! It. has been' found that the con- crete foundation lately eonstructed fer the new gag ™ank leaks a little. Mr. Elliptt insisted that a test be made of it before any iron work was erected upon it in order to deter- mine the extent of the leakage and to have it repaired. The Commis- sion agPeed to have this done. 'With regard to the appointment of an accountant to succeed James W. Rigney, it was decided to adver- tise for applications and to consider them next Monday. Manager Folger stated that J. M. Campbell intended installing a pri- vate telephone line to his power plant at Kingston Mills sg that quicker connection could be secured with the Kingston power plant. Sometimes in cases of trouble con- stant communication 'between tho two plants is of vital importance. These accounts were passed: Garlock Packing Co. .. ..§ 4.71 Canadian [General Elec.

Regarding the character of this book, we are not in a position to speak from first-hand knowledge. We know, however, what the authorities who have read the book think of its contents. It has been banned from circulation in Canada by the press censorship as it contains bitter at- tacks upon all countries engaged in the present war,because it impeaches in, a most annoying and aggravating manner the motives and justice of all those who are risking their lives in defense of what they consider right and beause it represents national patriotism and loyalty themselves as being creations of the evil one. It was regarded as pernicious lterature, and as such its cirenlation and read- ing were banned.

Gerald Dillon is a reported aspirant,' likewise Brig.-Gen, W. 8t.

Storms-Spvder Nuptials, A quiet wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Storms, Verona, on June 29th, when their youngest daughter, Grace, was unit- ed in marriage to Sperry C. Snyder; Godfrey. The bride, given away Ly her father, wore a gown of white crepe de chene and entered the par- lor to the strains of the Wedding March, played by. Miss Smith, Par- ham. The parlor was prettily deco- raled with evergreen boughs and ferns. The arch was made of ever- green boughs, ferns and daisies un- der which the ceremony was per- formed by Rev. A. F. Ball. After receiving congratulations from the immediate relatives of the contract- ing parties, the only ones present, Have you noticed a red flag on the rearof vehicle? Many citizens have | noticed the vehicles going around de- corated, and have been under the im-! Pression that the drivers were show-| ing their loyalty Ly displaying a flag. | No, it is not a case of showing loy- alty, but merely carrying out an old by-law of the city, which has not been observed for some time. The by-law states that vehicles. carrying any- thing that projects over § ig rear of the vehicle, must hoist a flag fo warn other vehicles following. . There has been much danger owing to the fact that the by-law has never been en- forced. Constable Samuel Arniel has been busy on this clause of the city by-laws, and as a result, the drivers have taken the hint, and are making use of the flags and thereby, adher- ring to a "safetysfirst" method.
