Peters was of the opinion that a 750-gallon one would be sufficient for Kingston. : Objection was taken by Alds. O'- Connor, W. Holder, Laturney and Richardson to calling for new tend- er: after the ones received had been published. Alds. Kelly moved, sec- onded by Ald. J. B. Holder, that the tender of the American La France Company for a motor pump without the chemical apparatus, at the price of $15,250, be accepted. Ald. Chown claimed that a low- er price should be secured. The Am- erican La France pump sold in New York fifty per oent. cheaper than quoted Kingston. AM. Boyd sald he wanted it um. derstood that he was not financially interested in the Aaron Fox Com- pany's pump. He wanted to know why $16,000 had been set as the price Kingston would pay. This lim- it prevented two companies from tendering. He said it looked as if the price had been purposely fixea. New tenders, he said, could save money and he was out to save If pos- sible for the citizens. Ald. McCartney could see no gooa reason for not calling for new tend- ers. Ald. Driscoll opposed new tenders after giving out the figures submitt- ed already by companies, Jt was Dot good business. Al, O'Connor explained that the $16,000 fixed by the by-law passed by the people was the same amount in a former by-law. With regard to the size of the pump, the Under- writers asked that Kingston be equipped with a 1,000-galion' ap- paratus. Ald. Nash remarked that the utill- ties commission recently saved $1. 000 by calling for new tenders for office furniture, and he could see no reason why the city council should not endeavor to effect a like saving on a fire motor pump when some first | Charles Adair and J.

A Rotary Achicvement. Ottawa Citizen. International Rotary has many achievements to its credit, but one of the most striking is that of the Rotary Club of Bristol, England. The members of that organization decid- ed that thelr city was in need of a community theatre which could be the mecca of playgoers of all classes. A plan of action wa# decided on, the city corporation was approached and provided a building, and the result is a Little Theatre, with a capacity of 500, which is already booked up in advance. The Rotarians affect Gals. worthy, A. A. Milne, 8t. John Ervine, Altred Sutro and R. C. Carton as their favorite playwrights. The unusual thing about this to Canadians, is not that Rotary set out to establish a community theatre, but that a public body like a city corpora- tion could be prevailed upon to pro- vide a building for a little theatre, If a Canadian Rotary club started out upon the same mission, they could probably. achieve it by their. charac- teristic persistence and enthusiasm, but to announce a plan whereby a city would be asked to contribute a theatre for producing the plays of Galsworthy and Milne would be re- ceived with exclamations of bewil- derment.

This ig not a too strong expression to use in speaking of Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Portt, who on the 14th day of January, 1874, were married in the township of Tyendinaga and resided there ever since. When the golden anniversary of their wedding arrived on the Jan. 14th, 1924 a jolly assembly of de- scendents of this fine old couple gathered at the homestead, where now resides their son, Robert .Arn- old Portt, and is following all his father's and mother's ways, and no doubt will prove as good a citizen and .as highly christian character, owing to the careful training of the parents. As a surprise to the oli couple when the family arrived at Portt's Hill, the old homestead, the two sons, Thomas Henry and Robert Arnold Portt, and being joined with them William Martin and HW. Gal-! lagher, near relativeg of the family,' presented the old couple with a beautiful Grandfather's clock, which we hope they will enjoy for many years to come. After this little fam-| ily presentation the aged bridegroom | was called upon to make his maiden | speech, and like all bridegrooms, he | blushingly and timidly expressed his | thanks and happiness of being met by his family and being so beautiful-} ly remembered in the presentation. The party them spent the balance] of the day and the evening very en-' joyably. Many were the points re- membered by the now adult children of their young days, where they msi with accidents and experiences, cor- rections and rewards never to be for- gotten. Every gate, building, tree, mount and field on the old farm had its family historical connection. About midnight the family having outgrown the limit of the old home- stead, it was necessary to break up the jolly party, which was done by heartily singing In honor of the young. | grandfather apd grandmother "He's A Jolly Good Fellow," and .rals- heartjly expressing the well know loyalty of the family with "Go Save the King." : ' his residence, | man Catholic in religion.
