The city's security that he will carry his part: through will be the $70,000 in furniture and equip- ment installed by him, The members asked many ques- tions and discussed the offer from every angle and it was finally con- cluded, with one exception, that it was the squarest and best proposi- tion ever submitted to Kingston in the hotel line. The one exception was Joseph Nash, who asked many questions during the evening and sought to speak on another proposition he had received. Capt. John Donnelly hotly demanded that Mr: Nash "cut it out right away." He said that the meeting was called to discuss this one proposition and he would not stand for foolish and unwarranted interruptions by Mr. Nash. Mr. Nash hotly stated that the city had been throwing away enough of the tax- payers' good money on schemes anl bonuses for years and asked if the gentlemen advancing the proposi- tion were willing to appear before a mass meeting of citizens and ex- plain it. Cries of 'Ridiculous' and "nonsense'" came from the members. H. C. Nickle said that men'o? good sianding, with a sound progpositic did not come to Kingston to zo on public platform and be "pall rag- ged." They were business men, not stump speakers. John Aird, Jr, speaking for the prospective com- pany, said that they were quite sat- isfied with the channels through which their proposition is being<con- sidered at the present time. Further protests by Mr. Nash brought a story from Mr. Nickle about two weather propaets in which the one said he told the weath- er a week ahead and the other fel- low a week after. "You are like the second fellow" said Mr. Nickle. "The men cuncerned do things and you merely tell what you would do." Mr. Nash yelled something about $36,000 ani Capt. Donnelly was once more on his feet and hotly denounc- ed Mr. Nash, telling him that he must, "cut it out" and asking him what' he had gver done for his city. Finally the excitement died down and the business went on. About every interest in the city was represented in the crowded room and the following motion was passed after being presented by Capt. Donnelly: *""That we endorse this proposi- tion and recommend it as a very favorable one to the city council and the citizens generally." Any question regarding this lat- est hotel proposition, about the best yet submitted, will be gladly answered through the columns of the Whig.
