THE LATE D. J. MILLAN mn, city loses a good citizen, and many were the tributes paid to the de- ceased by citizens -in all walks of life. The late Mr. Millan was born in Kingston, and had his life. He was engaged in busi- ness here for upwards of forty years. He owned the shop he occu- pied at Princess and Ontario streets for the past twenty-two years, and previous to that was located a block farther down Ontario street. The building occupied by Mr. Mil- lan was regarded as one of the oldest in the city. It was built of blocks hewed out with an axe, and is a reminder of the pioneer days of the city. Mr. Millan catered to the marine trade, and he was known to marine men all over the great lakes. To the marine men his place of business was known as "Millan's Corners," and it was visited by mariners daily for their supplies. "Dinny," as he was known to all his intimate friends, had a personal acquaintance with all the men who sailed the rivers and the lakes. He was a warm friend to all, and his death will be mourned by men who sall the seas. Possessed of a kind and genial dispesition, he made many friends. To know him was to love him for his many fine quali- ties of heart and mind. He was ever ready to lend a helping hand to all in trouble. 'Deceased for many years took an active part in civic affairs, and serv- ed as an alderman for Cataraqui and Sydenham wards for. a number of years. He was a great lover of sports of all kinds, and in his early days was a celebrated ball player and played on the old Kingston league jéams of forty years ago that Jrought great homor to the city. These teams will be recalled by old residents of the city. He very sel- dom missed a local baseball or hockey match and was the father 'of four sons of hockey fame. In politics, he Was a staunch Liberal. Mr. Millan was a member of St. Mary's cathedral, and was also a member of the Knights of Colum bus. He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Misses May and Kather- ine, four sons, Leo and Norman, en- waged in the business with him, Dr. Rpby Millan and Jack, also one brother, Cornelius Millan, Toronto, and three sisters, Mrs. Hunt, Earl Thursday afternoon to | one of Kingston's best-known mer- | grocer and butcher | rat his shop, corner of Princess and | register | of | al- | About | Mr. Mil- | whom he was working fu the shop, | News of the death of Mr. Millan | his | and | lived here all | [atrest.

Warden Sibbitt--"Well it is hard- ly my place to answer a question | like the one you put." Councillor Hamilton then pro- ceeded to show that the finance re- { port presented last June was a good | report when brought in and had | been concurred in item by item Then when the rate | was to be struck, some members of council opposed a levy of twelve mills, which was required to raise the amounts they had passed upon. | The council struck the wate at eleven mills, which, according to the re- vised budget statement showed that there would be an estimated deficit of $8,873.11. The law required j toat municipal councils should levy la sufficient rate to provide for the | current expenditure. The council, | he declared, had failed to do this. 'A report was spread over the ' county gbout the folly of two coun- cillors trying fo strike a rate of twelve mills when eleven was suffic- | ient, and being turned down. Now see that a twelve-mill rate was d,'"" said the speaker. right through. | we | neede Deficits of $60,000, Councillor Hamilton | when he entered the county council [in 1907 | ficits amounting to $60,000. To cover them it was necessary to have | the legislature pass a special act al- { lowing the council to issue deben- tures. From that time up tilt 1922 | the council fixed a sufficient rate to | cover necessary expenditure, but in | 1923 it failed to do so, although it ! knew that eleven mills was not { enough. He favored fixing the year- | ly rate that would net put the coun- | | ty into debt as it is now. | "The council should not try to | hoodwink the people by saying we will cover it next year. It js child- ish to try and carry out a budget | with eleven mills when twelve are | required and when the budget can- | | not be reduced. | | Even if elections are coming on we should not do such a thing." -- Wise Action Says Dr. Spankie. "The council did a wise thing in striking "a rate of eleven instead of twelve mills," declared Dr. William Spankie, reeve of We'fe Island, who pointed out that to leave the small surplus in the pockets of the people is best. "We found that eleven mills would nearly cover the estimated expenditure, but not quite. 1 be- lieve any surplus is safer In the hands of the public, and there is no harm in running close to the wind. We did a wise thing, I repeat. The deficit is less than a mill. Had we levied a tax of twelve mills we would have had more -money than we need- ed, and there is always a tendency to spend surpluses. Pay as you go is good financing, of course, but there are sometimes reasons for per- mitting an overdraft," Dr. Spankie pointed out that this was a bad year among farmers and the council tried: to take no more from them than was absolutely necessary. Councillor Drew-said he knew the council would be behind on eleven mills, but he regarded the action taken as the best for the people. He agreed with the views of Dr. Spankie. . Councillor Clark pointed out that all the budget required was 11 1-2 mills to carry on. According to what the officials told the council, there would be a deficit of only $3,- 000 it an eleven mill rate was struck. Councillor Clark intimated that January would see a red-hot session for them the new council would have to decide what to do with the provincial highway bills. The government was not likely to relieve the county of the whole amount, although it might strike off some of it. Councillors Jamieson, Hamilton and Graham added some explana- tions, the latter pointing out that in 1907, according to Councillor Hamil- ton, the council did just what he himself was proposing to do now-- issued debentures for the accumu- lated deficit. Councillor Hamilton replied that his plan was to prevent I did stated that | he found accumulated de- | deficits so that there would be no need of issuing debentures. | Councillor Clarke asked a number of questions about the blocking of - the piece of roadway at Collin's Bay | | which Is not used since the new | ners: 108 was opened for trafic. He to know 'what was going to be mated, about the road. | I County Road Superintendent Fair | stated that he understood, aocord- ing to the highway act, that the road | would be handed back to the county. | Councillor Clarke wanted to know | under whose order the gates were | | put on either end of the road, and | | he was told that the railway board | was responsible for placing them. | Councillor Graham asked | highway act and when | the clause was read, it was found | that Mr. Fair had given the correct | information. | Councillor Clarke stated that Mr. Ellerbeck had informed him that he had a document in his possession which stated that the old road be left open. Mr. Ellerbeck will appear before the council body on Friday and show the document spoken of. After considerable discussion, By- | law No. 363, which authorizes the | turning over of the plece of new roadway to the highway commission, was given its first reading. for a copy of the GANANOQUE Nov. 23.--Douglas dePencier is in | town with plans of the proposed !

Mr. dePencier, who has just returned from New York, speaks most encouragingly of the prospects of this new = hostelry. Among those who took stock in this proposition was William D. Sar- gent, who is a high official in one | of_the large steel corporations on the other side. Mr. Sargent is well and favorably known in Gananoque | and vicinity, being one of our mil- summer residents and hav- Ing a beautiful summer home on | Juniper Island near Ganangque. It j= particularly gratifying to the dir- ectors to be able to include a gentle- man of his high business acumen and social connection on the advi- sory board, as undoubtedly through such channei a large and desirable patronage will come from the Ame- rican side.
