B. Cunningham, K.O., appeared on be- | half of deorge McGowan, to oppose | the granting of a license to Lai Sang, for a laundry at 220 Barrie street. The finance committee in its report, recommended that the license be re- newed, | Mr. Cunningham pointed out that [ Mr. McGowan owned the property | next to the laundry, which he rent- ed. In July, 1910, Mr. Cunningham | appeared before the hoard of license commissioners, who had power at that time to grant license, and op- posed the granting of the said license. At this time, the owner of the laundry agreed to pay the in- | crease in insurancé rates on the pro- perty next door, if the opposition to the laundry was withdrawn. Oppo- sition was withdrawn and the license was granted in 1910, on the under- standing that it would not be renew- ed in 1911 and that the owner of the laundry pay for the increase in the insurance rates on the property mentioned. For some reason the in- crease in the insurance rates was not paid. Prigr to the locating of the laundry, Mr. McGowan'¢ 'insurance rates on his property was $9 for three years but with the laundry the insurance rates amounted to $14.80 per year or a difference on $4,000 insurance of $141.60 for three years. This was regarded as very unfair to Mr. McGowan, while his tenant had to meet an increase in imsurance too. Mayor Angrove stated that Ald. Johnston's motion, passed at the last meeting of the council, to have all laundry licenses passed by the coun- cil before being granted, was now be- Sour Stomach Risings A Few Drops Bring Rellef -------- THE wonderful relief you get from twenty drops of Nerviline will surprise you.

Tear thia out fs & meme sewer in Drayton avenue, on the con- dition of paying a sewer rental, said rental to be continuous and paid five { years in advance, the amount being based on the amount charged to | other property owners for the-con- | struction of this sewer." Ald. Boyd stated that for the pro- tection of the city, that provision should be made for such an agree- ment as Had beep proposed, to be discontinued on three month's no- tice, in case it whs desired to dls- continue the service. Ald. Peters stated that similar permission had been granted and the members of the board of works felt that each case of the kind should be dealt with on its own merits. Ald. O'Conner declared that the policy as recommended by the board of works was wrong. He felt that it was a great mistake and the work should not be undertaken. Permis- sion should not be granted. On the motion to adopt the board's report going to a vote, it was carried on the casting vote of Maor Angrove as follows: Yeas--Mayor Angrove, Alds. Chown, Godwin, J, B. Holder, John- ston, Joyce, McCartney, Peters, Price, Richardson, Sargent--11. Nays--Alds. Boyd, Driscoll, . Holder, Kelly, Kent, Laturmey, Law- lor, Milne, Nash and O'Connor--10. Fire and Light Committee, The following recommendations of the board of works were adopted: "That the application of H. M. Jones to build a porch at 312-314 Brock street be not granted. 'That the application of Catherine Haffner, for permission to erect steps of a verandah 34 inches on city pro- perty be 'granted. "That a sewer be eonstructed in Brock street from Toronto street westerly. "That the accawrt of H. C. Con- nell, for medical attendance on George Acton, an employee, amount- ing to $15 be paid. Motor Pump Accepted. The fire and light committee re- commended "that the account Bickle Bros., Woodstock, for supply- ing one Ahrens-Fox pumping ma- chine, at a price of $15,542, less $2 for license, plus $40 for siren, total $15,580 be paid." Ald. Kelly regarded this as. "a small piece of business." The city was paying nearly $16,000 for the pump and he considered that the sireen was a part of the apparatus and the city should not have to pay for it. \ 2) Ald Chown statdduthat the sireen was an "extra." The pump had been fitted out with a bell, but the fire chief desired the sireen and the city should pay for it if it was wanted. Ald. O'Connor stated that when the American Lafrance company ten- dered to supply the city with a pump, the company made the pgint that any reduction in sales tax 'would be allowed, but the Ahrens-Fox com- pany did not say this. He also wish- ed to state that the mew pump had not been given a cold weather test. It had been givep mo snow test. The following recommendations of the fire and light committee were adopted: a "That the account of Prof. Arkley and O. J. Hickey amounting to $25 each, for testing the pumper, be paid. ' "That the account for hydrants installed at Queen's University be paid. "That 15 feet of 6-inch suction hose with Ahrens-Fox coupling be purchased." J Laundry Question Again. The finance committee recom- mended that a laundry license be granted to the Imperial Steam Laun- dry. No objection was taken to this, but objection was taken to the: re- commendation that Lai Sang be given a license for a laundry at 220 Barrie street and after some discus- sion, this clatse was sent back to the committee. Ald Kent dtated that no douht there would be objection to this laundry and referred to the stand taken by Mr. Cunningham, in his op- position to the granting of the Ili- cense. In connection with the Chinese Laundry question, a sub-committee, composed of Chief of Police Robin son, City Treasurer Bartels and City Engineer Dick, appointed to define an. area for the location of Chinese laundries reported "that as the only laundry location objected to is at the corner of Brock and Divisioh stréet, the committee feels that?it would not be justified in defining areas which would cause inconveni- ence to the public and impose hard- ships and loss on landlords and laun- dry, operators and atherwise disturb the present satisfactory conditions, Further, the committee considers that the resolution of council, which requires its approval of the location of all laundries, is quite adequate for any condition that may arise." Mayor Angrove stated that the re- solution passed by the council at its last meeting was now under the con- sideration of the city solicitor. Ald. O'Connor regarded the re- port of the sub-committee as one which was simply "passing the buck." He thought the committee should get down to business. This committee should function or if not the cotinell should do the work. He 'knew of a case where a Chinaman off had paid $4,600 for a piece of pro- Ask|perty for which any other person would only pay $1,600. The China- man had paid the high price in order Ww. | ofl, WHIG te hold the property. There were | many other cases of a- similar na- ture. Ald, Richardson thought that an | 2rea should be laid 'out. There was | no. dioubt about Chinese laundries be- ling a detriment to the résidential | districts, Ald Price said that some action | sho "be" taken. He knew of one | building occupied as a Chinese laun: dry that was a disgrace. If a laun- | dry was located in the residential | district, it should be a good build- ing and in keeping with the pro- perty adjacent to it; Ald. Kidd and Ald. O'Connor mov- ed that the clause regarding the granting of a license for the laundry on Barrie street be sent back to the finance committee and the motion was carried. These recommendations of the fin- ance committee were adopted: In connection with the library, the city clerk read a letter from the libr- ary board, to the effect that a copy of the financial statement of the library for 1922-23 was already in the hands of the city treasurer, who is also the treasurer of the library board. "That the Navy League be permit- ted to hold 'Tag Day' on Wednesday, Sept. 17th, and the Woman's Aid Association of the Kingston General Hospital to hold a 'Tag Day' on Oct. 4th next, "That this corporation support the contention of the City of Toronto, | There's Health and Joy In every Cup of TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1924. a Ceylon Buy the RED LABEL, Alaminum Package. * gration policy. "That laundry licenses be granted to the Imperial Steam Laundry and Lai Sang, 220 Barrie street. "Whereas the public library hoard has not compiled withthe request of the city council to furnish a copy of their financial statement in detail for the years 1922 and 1923, to be audited by the city auditor, that the city treasurer is hereby authorized and instructed to withhold all pay- ments to said library board unti} such time as they comply with said request." On motion of Alds. Peters and La- turney, the council decided to pro- ceed with the paving of Frontenac street and that the necessary by-laws in regard to the government's immi-| be passed at the next meeting of the | compel Ad. William Holder stated that at the last meeting of the council action had been taken to rid the city parks of the crows and the black- birds. He wanted something done to rid the Bagot street dump of the mosquitoes and for this reason mov- ed that the city engineer be instruct- ed to place crude oil in the water in the marsh on the Bagot street dump in order to destroy the pests. The motion was seconded by Ald. Kelly and passed. i ------ Conversation is the music of the mind, an intellectual orchestra, where all the instruments should take a part, but where none should play together, -------- so easy to do when pointment well.
