The chairman opened the meeting by reading reports from Dr, William Nicholls, veterinary, upon the con- dition<of the white mafe "Jess: Tha reports stated that she was incurably lame and unfit for the service re- quired of the fire department, was borne out by a statement of the fire chief, in which he admitted that she had only been driven to fires twice during the past year, being held in "reserve" and only exercised by an hour's walk daily. Dr. Nicholls, who was present, stated that she was ambitious and would rush to a fire as best she could but would suffer |afterwards. She had a lame shoul- | der received by a fall against the | pavement five years ago, ring bones and corns on her feet. It was not shown that she was not properly fed and groomed, and when she was ex- hibited outside the window of the committee room window, the mare showed that she was well nourished. The committee resented the action of the society as implying that the animal was sabject to cruel treat- ment, and Mr. Dobbs was challanged to justify his action in having the veterinary inspect and report upon the mare, Mr. Dobbs stated that Automobile Repairing ELLIOTT & WILLIAMSON ; TO RENT Phones: Shop 1039.

"WHERE THE CLOCK IS ON THE WALK" - - - Why does the last match invaria- mitted, it was cruel treatment to use the mare in the service of, the fire department, "We are looking after the interests of the horse," sald he. "It is incurably lame and not fit for the work." Mr. Dobbs stated that the Kingston Humane Society was working under the Ontario Act for the prevention of cruelty to animals. "We go by what the veterinary says and we can enter any stable and take a horse out if it is shown that the animal is not pro- perly treated," he said, James Armstrong, chiet of the fire department, stated that he knew the horse had been lame for five years. It fell on a pavement in 1916. Dr. Nicholls, he said, had never told him officially that the horse was un- fit for service, but she had only been driven to two fires during the past year. She was held in reserve. She was given walking exercise for an hour each day and was well fed. Questioned by Ald. Litton, Dr. Nicholls stated that the horse was unfit for service. Ald Chown:~*"But she has been to only two fires this year." Ald. 'Rodger: "If that mare is run to a fire, is that cruel treatment?" Dr, Nicholls: *""Yes." Mayor Nickle strongly resented Mr. Dobbs' action in interfering fn the business of the city, and declared his | conviction that he had no right to investigate the fire department be- cause there was no cruel treatment. The mare was well-conditioned, aside front the lameness, and he would not vote to have her shot. He asked Mr. Dobbs what section of the act he was working urtier, and the reply was "General cruelty, where a horse is being used when it is lame and suf- fering. "That is cruelty." Here Chairman Chown interposed the remark that the horse was only held in reserve and exercised daily by walking.

Ald. Chown: "We are not going to sell the horse to be abused." Mr. Chown gave it as his opinion that the horse did not come under any, part of the Act for the preven- tion of cruelty to animals, and the committee took no action.
