MAYOR CLE PRESENTS HS PORTRAIT 10 © Barbers and Pool Room Hours Discussed--To Kill Fire By-Law. A feature of the city council ses- sion Monday evening wes the pre- | sentation by Mayor Nickle of his por- trait to the corporation. trait is beautifully done in oils by the noted Toronto artist, E. Wylie Grier, &nd is a true likeness of His Worship. Mayor Nickle, in addressing the coun- cil, said he took this occasion to pre- sent his portrait in accordance with | the sustom handed down for the past | seventy-eight years. He thanked his colleagues for their co-operation dur- | ing the past two years he had acted | as chief magistrate. He had en- ! deavored to treat all the people alike | and to do his duty. He intended to | serve the city in the future as in the { past, whether 'in the city 'council or | out of it. The remarks of the mayor | were received with applause by the | aldermen and spectators, On mo- | tion of Alds. Couper and Craig, the | portrait of the mayor was thankfully | received and ordered to be hung in the new Memorial Hall, of which His | Worship is the originator. Barbers Complaint, A communication was received { from F. J, McGinty, J. O. Elliott, W. {J. kemmon and William J. Glover, of { the executive of the Barbers' Union, | asking that Ald. Armstrong retract | his statement made at the last meet- {ing of the council that some signa- [ tures on the petition of the boss bar- { bers, asking that the hour of closing | be made seven p.m., were forged. They said that only one name, that of W. Wood, was not in the actual hand- writing of the petitioner, and Mr. Wood had asked that his name be subscribed by the secretary. The executive members stated that they wished to act honorably by the alder- men who had supported the bylaw regarding closing time, Ald. Armstrong said he referred to only one name on the petition as not being that of the boss barber, and the letter of the union executive bore cut his statement. He presented an- other petition from eight bosses ask- ing that the hour of closing be made eight o'clock. Among the names was that of Mr. Wood. Mayor Nickle stated that seventy- five per cent. of the barbers had sign- ed the original petition. Ald. Stroud remarked that eight could not rescind what had been passed on the petiticn of eighteen. It was pointed out that the whole Question was out of order, and coun- cil agreed to take no action on the matter, Pool Room Hours, In connection with the barber clos- ing time, Ald. Angrove asked if it was customary to grant the petition of all callings as to fthe time of clos- ing, when seventy-five per cent. sign- ed. Mayor Nickle said it was. "Then," said Ald. Angrove," why is the petition of the pool proprietors not granted when they ask to be al- lowed to keep open until midnight?" "They come under the heading of a licensed trade," replied the mayor. "Oh, I see," said Ald. Angrove. It was pointed out that the rea- {son the pool proprietors wanted to keep open an extra hour was because of the additional tax by the Ontario government of fifteen dollars a table, This was in addition to the city tax of forty dollars for the first table. Mayor Nickle said that there were nine pool rooms in the city and that in the past six years the business had been so profitable that the number of tables in these nine places had been increased by seventeen or eighteen. Theré were now about sixty-five pool tables doing business. The finance committee _recom- mended that the sum of $1,030 be paid to Mrs. Edith Perry as damages for an accident dhe sustained by a fall on a walk on Elgin street, where- by she sustained a badly sprained ankle, solicitor was not given in writing, the recommendation was held over until the council's next meeting. After the Fire Bylaw. Ald. Graham wanted the council to withdraw the bylaw to the people for the expenditure of $16,500 for fire motor apparatus, in view of the fact that both of the daily news- papers were opposing it. "The by- law will be whipped ten to one ow- ing to the stand of the newspapers," he said. "It would be whipped any- way, so let us withdraw it." The city clerk pointed out that be- fore tse bylaw was put to the peo- ple another bylaw would have to be passed at the council"s meeting on the 5th of December, "Oh, all right," said Ald. Graham. "We'll kill the bylaw then all right." A bylaw was passed eliminating Sydenham street between Princess and Queen streets, from the parking area, and adding Clergy street west side from Princess street to Queen; Clergy street 'east side south from Princess to seventy-five feet from Brock street; Clergy street west side between Brock and Johnson streets. Mayor Nickle remarked that with such a number of autos stanling on Clergy street between Princess and Queen on Wednesday nights, peo- le would think that the prayer meet- ing in St. Andrew's Presbyterian church was being largely attended. | Tinance Report. These recommendations of the fin- ance committee were adopted: That the communication of 0. V. Bartels re the collection of accoun's be handed to the city solicitor, ana This pdr- | As the report of the city | that he endeavor to baye same col: lected. ! { That the application of T. J). { Rigney on behalf of the Dominion | { Textile Company for an exemption of | itaxes for a period of twenty years, | ithe same as formerly { istructed to prepare a by-law. | That the following resolution adopted by the municipal council of the city of Sarnia be approved: -- | "Having regard to the very large amount of moneys necessarily spent | {by towns and cities in the construc- | ition and maintenance of pavements {and improved roads therein, without | financial assistance from 'an outside {source and to the fact that suca | pavements and roads are used a mach | | greater exten: by residents outsi'e |of the town or city limit than resii- |ents of such towns or cities use sub- jurban roads, be it resolved that the [system adopted by the legislature o' 1 {Ontario in cherging a portion of the | costs of suburban roads to towns ann [cities is hereby declared to be wholly | unfair and places a burden upon | cities and towns which they shouln [not be asked to bear and from whicl {they should be relieved, and this | council protests against being called { {upon to contribute towards the con- | !struction or maintenance of suburb- |an roads and request the legislature | Ito pass an act abolishing such sys- tem." . That on the recommendation of tho board of police commissioners no ac- tion be taken on the petition of the | billiard room owners for an extension ! of the hours for keeping open. The Board of Works.

The new buildings and studio to be constructed by the Dominion Mo- tion Pictures, Ltd., are now assur- ed and the architect's plans have been shown to many prominent citi- zens interested in the new industry. The building will be one of the lar- jgest, and certainly the most beau-| |titul in Kingston, and that is a good | {deal to say. It will be of hollow, tile throughout, of a color, or variety of colors, to be decided later, and the intention of the company is to con- struct an artistic building along the lines of the Los "Angeles volony, which will be a lasting monument to motion picture work in Canada. Work will be started -immediately when spring opens and the contract has already been awarded. The site. has not as yet been definitely select- ed, and the property on Montreal and Rideaus streets may be waived in favor of a more suitable ground. This city is now in the fortunate position as the future centre of the Canadian branch of this wealth pro- ducing industry, and if the growth of California cities, which have had these colonies in their midst for the past few years, is any criterion of the success following the business, King- ston is in line for a big boom, which will incidentally attract other indus- tries, besides hundreds of tourists and screen artists, who by the way, generally have plenty of money and are easy spenders.
