When thé matter was brought up, | Ald. Corbett was the first to speak on the question. th the He said he had given matter much consideration, and that he had also secured the views of a couple of the members of the com- mission, Certain charges had been made against the Commission, and it had been given no chance to make an explanation For instance, made th harge that his paving work on Montreal street had been held up by the Utilities Commission. He did not consider it would be fair for the council to take action in the matter until members of the commis- sion had been heard on the matter. Ald. Lifton remarked that the members of the commission were aware of the fact that the would be tak ip by the council at this s on, and held that they should have been present to defend themselves. Ald. Graham said he had informed R. F. Elliott, the chairman of the commission, that the matter would be taken up at this meeting. Ald. Corbett felt that the cemmis- ston should receive an invitation to attend the council meeting and dis- cuss the question. Ald. Litton said he was in favor of Ald. Graham had having the electors vote on the wa- | tor department, but was not so much in favor of the gas. The gas was af- fillated with the electricity, separated. Ald. Smith said he wanted to place himself on record as being in favor of having the._question go be- fore the electors. He felt that these two departments were getting too far away from the people while under the control of a commission. People were not taking the interest that they should. They were clamoring for a change, and he felt that it was only right that the people should have a chance to vote on the question. | Ald. Chown said that the question | had been put to the people a couple tnd each time the commis- | {AS HEAD OF THE ONTARIO HY | of times, ained, The gas and was hard to get them apart. He "The place to get off at is here," remarked Ald. Graham. He said he had asked the manager of the com- mission to get Montreal street ready for the paving, and he had stated he had no money for the work. Ald. Gra- ham 'declared that the council had never refused the Commission mo- ney. He further declared that under the present system, the commission was digging up streets two and three times. The commission was charging more for gas, and the gas was very poor at that. Then again the commis- sion had piled up a great deal of ex- HAVE YOU SCROFULA ? Now Sald to be as Often Acquired as Inherited. It is generally and chiefly indicat- ed by eruptions and sores, but in many cases it enlarges the glands of | the neck, affects the internal organs, | especially the lungs, and if neglected | may develop into consumption. | It causes many troubles. and is] aggravated by impure air, unwhole- some food, bad water, too much heat or cold, and want of proper exercise. Hood's Sarsaparilla, the medicine that has been used with so much satisfaction by three generations, is wonderfully successful in the treat- ment of scrofula. Give it a trial. If a cathartic or laxative is needed, take Hood's Pills--there is nothing better for biliousness or constipa- tion.

Jones said the citizens had $3.50, $4.00. been promised pure water with the installation of a new pump, but he declared that the water this year was worse than ever.

The Kingston Utilities Commis- sion unanimously Hydro Power Commission. At a meeting on Monday afternoon the action of Chairman R. F. Elliott, in writing a letter to Mayor Church, Toronto, on the 23rd inst. urging that Sir Adam be. retained, was ap- proved. Chairman Riliott's which was sent as lettergram is follows: * Kingston, Oet-23rd, 1919 Mayor T. L. Church, Toronto, Ont. Am strongly of the opinion that Sir Adam Beck should be retained as head of the Hydro Power regard- less of who reigns at Queen's Park. In my humble opinion it is not es- | sential that he should he a member {of Parliament, only appointed by it, Let Beck go on working in the inter" jest of the masses---not as leader of any party, head of Hydro and Hydro only. Public Utilities Commission, (Signed) R. F. Biliott, Chairman, Chairman Elliott anonunced that a conference would be held in Tor- onto on the 29th inst. of question of uniform rates for power would be discussed and Kingston was asked to send a delegate. The chairman himself was appointed de- legate to the conference. Mr. Hewitt moved that Kingston join the uni- form rates assoolation and 'the motion was carried. The manager reported an addition of 300 new gas services and author- ity was given to purchase 100 met- ers. Applications for the extension of water service 'were considered and permission was given to place a hydrant on Brock street on the un- derstanding that it was the last that would be installed free of charge. The new gas holder is to be con- nected up for use in January next. G. Y. Chown called attention to the fact that no statement had been presented by the secretary since July 1st last and asked that a statement for July, August and September be forthcoming for the next meeting. Mr. Hewitt proposed that owners of automobiles be taxed for water used in washing their cars. 'He said that there were 2000 cars in Kingston and no charge was made. Mr. Chown stated that Kingston us- ed altogether too much water, more than other cities, and concurred in the proposal if a way could be found to carry it out effectively. He strongly advocated extending and improving the water service rather than reducing the rates. R. J. Elliott stated that the de- benture debt would be completely wiped out in six years and the plant should show a surplus of $6,000 or $6,000, but it should be applied to the extension of the service. Attention was directed to a rum- or current in the city that the Campbell Power Company furnished the city with all Ms electric current for light and power. This was de- clared to be quite incorrect. Nearly 'all the power came from the Hydro- Electric commission. H. C. Nickle superintendent of the Street Railway Company, was present and approved an inventory [that had been drawn up covering the items in the agreement between the Company and the city for power sup- yplied the streel car servica.
