The ten year de- bentures on the following pave- } ments have -been--retired.. Wellington street from Princess | street to the City Park, Clarence street from Bagot to King street, Brock street from Bagot to King street, King street from Princess to William street, Barrie street from King to Princess street, Clergy street west from Barrie street to University avenue. These streets are paid for, are in good condition and will give us good satisfaction for years to come. The debentures for Princess street pave- ment from King to Clergy will be retired this year. I recommend the laying of about the same amount of pavement as last year. Industries. The present is a very trying time for industries already ' established and comsequently makes it very dif- ficult to start new ones, and the committee of last year did not find many people seeking locations. Col- He's Ltd,, started their woollen mill and the electors voted favorably on the by-law regarding the dye and chemical plant. Our reports on the prospect for the dye and chemical! industry are very favorable and we are expecting good results, Last year's committee reports having some good prospects. The publicity work of this department must be kept up, so that when the trade conditions become more favorable those seeking sites will know that we have the most advantageous lo- cation in Ontario. To do this work effectively the committee should ance and I ask the same support from the members this year. I will give my best to the work before us, and assist every committee in any way I can to arrive at fair and im- partial decisions, always keeping in mind that we are the servants of the people, elected to carry on the work, of municipal government in disburs- ing. their money, and planning the administration of all departments. NOT AN ERA OF NBELEF Sermon In Chalmers Church on "Our Generation and the Oreeds." That this is not an era of disbe- lief or unbelief, was the opinion ex- pressed by Rev. Robert De Witt Scott, B.D.,, St. Therese, Que, preaching in Chalmers church on Sunday morning on the subject, "Our Generation and the Creeds." The Speaker stated that this was not an age of unbelief but an age of reverent seeking of knowledge. Thinking people everywhere are striving gt least to know something of the truth. Nor was this an age when a certain belief was easily accepted. Many charges had been brought against the people of the church. It was also claimed that this was an age of ¢ompromise and even the charge .of materialism was sometimes heard. ~The speaker ad- mitted that there was materialism and indifference to-day, but it did not exist to the extreme some would have us believe. And why ig there indifference? Because men and wo- men are asking questions and ask- ing for the reason for the faith. "Bverywhere there is a desire for a real and viial religion. I am an optimist an say that there never was such a time In the his- E DAILY BRITISH WHIG SEITE | } | { Just Out from the Old Country Church's English FOR MEN In styles of Brown.

Charities Committee. This is a new standing committee formed for the purpose of consider- ing all grants to charitable institu- tions and the payment of monies for indigents and wards belonging to the city and maintained in institu- tions in this and outside muncipali- ties. Kingston is the centre of East- ern Ontario In regard to Inmstitu- tions, and it is imperative that a proper record and inventory should be kept to ascertain the residency of all persons entering them. It will be the duty of this committee to investigate all claims and be as- surred that Kingston's interests are protected, and that we will not be called upon to pay for any other than bona fide residents, Notwith- standing some adverse criticism I am a friend of all public and char- table institutions and societies, and' have asked for nothing but protec: tion for the Kingston ratepayer, and 1 agk that now. I want the accounts for maintenance of Indigents and wards to be paid by the municipality to which they belong. Consolidation of By-laws, Our by-laws were last consolidat- ed in 1907 Wnd there has been so many amendments and new ones that a new consolidation should be made, and we will try and have it done this year if we can provide the funds. " 1 am pleased to report that our energies and attention to the mat- ter of having boats winter in our harbor, has been rewarded by over sixty vessels making this their winter quarters and will mean the expenditure of about three hundred thousand dollars. Work on some of these bDoats will begin right away. 1 ask for further attemtion to this work that the number may be in- creased. 1 desire to have all appropriations from the committees, school boards, ete., As soon as possible that we may got Sur budget arranged earlier. We will be called upon to issue deben- tires this year for $63,000, our share of the provineial highway ac- count, also the $16,000 for the motor fire' apparatus, and there are always unforeseen expenditures, yet I wish to re-afirm the position 1 took on nomination day that we will not have to raise the rate, and T am asking all concerned to co-operate with me fa keeping their estimates as low as possible so that I may be able to bring into effect the state- ment made by me. 1 wish. to thank the members of last year's council for their assists sometimes sald that our creeds are out of date as soon as they are Avrit- ten. We all believe something. Your creed must be out of your own ex- perience if it is to be worth while. Your creed is the expression of that experience. As Christians, unless we exalt Christ there is something lacking In our creed. "Jesus must be the centre of the picture. The frame does not mat- ter so much, nor the background. When we as Christians see Him and experience that fine spirit that mov- ed Him, our creeds will form them- selves as necessities, Christianity is a life to be lived. The Christian fundamentally i§ Jesus. We must live the life Jesus lived, with the creed that was His. What was there in the life of Jesus that made it so unique and powerful? Most of all, the creed of Jesus was love. God is love. Is it any wonder that men came to see J 3 they learned that? - ors Sead Le 3 "I am not pessimistic about this generation. Wa shall Jook forward to the day when the creed of love will overcome hate, Jesus gald 'love your enemies.' It is difficult to love those who have hurt or endea- _vored to destroy the things for which we have lived. Is it any won- der that the Jewish people were amaged at His doctrine? He taught them as one having authority. May we have more and more the life of Jesus in us so that we may live up to the Christ-like creed for this or any generation." Rev. Mr. Se¢ott preached at both services at Chalmers on Sunday and delivered forceful discourses. \ BLEOTIONS IN NAPANEE. Thermometer Eight Below Zeéro on Sunday Morning.
