Granulated for . .. - FORGET ~~ THAT HE LABOR SITUATION {ls Good In Rwesotacimmi| { grants Cannot Easily Be Placed, However. -- | Ther weekly report issued by the | Ontario Department of Labor shows that labor conditions in Kingston are a great deal better than in most places in the province. The fact that there is so much construction Work underway in this city means that hundreds of men are being giv- en empléyment. The Canadian Lo- comotive Works {s now running at | { about full-strength" There are over five hundred men on the pay roll and there is steady work for some time to come. . At the present time, there is so much building work under way in the city that there are not enough stone masons and brick layers and for that reason it has been found necessary to bring expert mechanics | in this line in from other gide points, like Toronto and Montreal. Roddy & Monk, stone cutters, who are fur- nishing all. of the stone for the new clinic building at the General Hos- pital, found that they could get enough stone'#utters to db the work, and asked the local representative of the Ontario Government Labor employment buréau to get them twenty expert stone cutters. The agent at Montredl was able to pick up the class of help required, and forwarded them to Kingston where they got immediate employment. Stone masons have also been brought in. On Friday morning, A. Anderson, painter, informed the Whig that on Monday morning be would leave the ¢ity with two gangs of men to paint all the C.P.R. stations between Kingston and Renfrew. One gang will start at Verona and theé~gther Vv THE a WATER PRESSURE FINE) { at Tichborme. After this work is completed, he expects: to get a con- | tract on the main line of the C.P.R. Last year Mr, Anderson had about thirty-seven men busy painting the stations on another section of the C.P.R. line. During the past few weeks a large | number of immigrants have arrived | in the city and it is a very difficult | thing for the employment agent to place these men as the feeling is that the local men who are paying the taxes of the city should be first looked after, Mr. Stroud, when ask- ed how many immigrants have ap- plied for work, stated that he thought about seventy-five at least. On Thursday night five Finlanders who are unable to speak a word of English, reached the city in search of employment. * A -------- ( WALTER HARPER DEAD. 'Racing and Badeball Man Passed Away at Rochester. At Rochester, Minn.,, on May 8th, Walter A. Harper, Chicago, sports- man, widely known on tracks in Eastern Canada, New York and Cali- fornia, died at a hospital. Walter Harper was well known in racing and basball circles in Mont- real. He has been one of the out- standing calculators in the mutuel plants on the Quebec race courses ~~ » The New Fire Motor Pump Tried Out at Albert and Brock Streets. A couple of thousand citizens { were on hand on Thursday evening when 'the new Ahern-Fox fire motor pump;-whichewas recently purchased by the city, was given a try-out at the corner of Albert and Brock streets. Om Monday, when the pump was given the official inspection at the La Salle'causeway, the water wag pumped out of the lake, but. on Thursday evening the engine wus attached to the street hydrant at the north west corner of the inter- section.' It is safe to say that many. citi- zens who visited the scene of the inspection for the purpose of seeing how quickly the water mains would be dried up, went home satisfied that their idea of tlie motor pump was altogether wrong. It was simply wonderful the force of water which the pump pushed out of the ends of the hose. « The first test 'made was to run four lines of hose from the pump for a distance of two hundred. feet, | with a pressure at the pump of 120 pounds. There was 65 pounds pres- sure on each line of hose, and the amount of water*passing out of the end of each nozzle was 299 cuble feet per minute, which is practically a total of 1,200 feet. The machine is guaranteed to pump 1,000 cubic feet per minute, so \t will be clearly seen that the machine overstepped her amount. While the pump was forcing this amount of water out of the nozzles, e register showed that the hydrant was not being used to its full capacity. mber of other tests were made, and they were all considered of a fine order. One of the last tests to be tried was two lines from the pump with a 13% inch nozzle, and there was a nozzle pressure of 140 pounds. The lines of hose were stretched from Brock to Johnson street along Albert street, and it is needless to say that the dwelling houses along that block, especially those on the west side, got a 'real good wetting. The citizens who had the pleasure of seeing the machine in action, went home satisfied that the city couneil "The Hat Store" Millinery ¢ Trimmed Hats at Big Reductions DAILY BRITISH TIRES = WHIG FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1984.
