The matter was under discussion at a meeting of the Board held on Wednesday afternoon, but no action was taken, pending infor- mation the board is seeking from other cities in regard to the mat- ter. It is stated that in several cities .an annual rental fs charged for ser- vice pumps. The city clerk has writ- ten to a number of cities, in order to secure the desired information, and the matter will be taken up at the next meeting of the Board. At a recent meeting of the Board, Ald. Boyd ghve it as his opinion that a fee should be changed for the pumps on the street. It is the general feeling of the committee that the city should devise a revenue from the pumps when they are located on the street. At nearly every meeting of the Board, an application is re- ceived for the installation of a pump and the Board feels that it is time that action should be taken. At Wednesday's meeting an application was received from R. E. Ward, to install a gasoline pump on Montreal street, near the outer station. The application, following the usual course, was referred to the city en- gineer, The Board received a letter from Columbus Hanley, manager of the Canadian National Telegraph Com- pany, asking that some action be taken to relieve the congestion of traffic on Clarence street, between King and Ontario streets.. Mr. Han- ley stated that as a result of the parking of the cars from the taxi stands on the centre of the street and cars on each side of the street, the congestion is a serious matter. Thé Board decided to have the parking area in the centre of the street painted so as to show up the parking area. The Board also considered the urgent need for the re-numbering of the houses on certain streets, and will ask that a by-law be prepared to re-number these streets. Ald. Reid moved to have Vie- toria street, between Princess and Union, paved, and Ald. Holder mov- ed for the paving of St. Catherine street, which takes in one block, and both motions were carried. The tender of the Imperial Oil 'Company, to supply seventy-five bar- rels of cold patch, at 19 cents per gallon, was accepted, Acting on the suggestion of Ald. Reid, it was decided to have the two cars used by the works department insured against fire and accident. The Board recommended the con- struction of a cement walk on the south side of Bay street, Wellington to Rideau street. « The Board will request the Cana- dian Locomotive Company to clean- up the debris at the foot of Gore street, near their plant, on the city's property. On the request of A}d. Holder, the city engineer was given instructions to cut-down a tree in front of 33 Upper Charles street. The tree is interfering with the sidewalk. The city engineer was instructed to have a number of the street signs repainted. The chairman, Ald. Price presid- ed at the meeting, and the other members present were Alds. Reid, Holder and John Fife Johnston. Rotary Olub Activities. Prof. R. K. Hicks of Queen's Uni- versity, will be the speaker at the luncheon of the Kingston Rotary Club on Friday at noon at the Brit- ish-American hotel. He will speak on amateur theatricals, ° ---------- Rock Men Needed. On account of the depth of the drain on Division street, it is a very dificult matter to pick men who are suitable for the work. The dfain is now down to a depth of about twelve féet, and for that reason short men it. F find it quite dificult to throw the Tock and dirt out of the diteh. The work has now reached the stage where experienced rock mén needed, and that class of help is get- ting about four days' work each 1 4 a G.W.V.A. BIRTHDAY PARTY GREAT SUCCESS Ex-Servicd Men Enjoyed the Varied Programme Provid- ed Wednesday Evening. The G.W.V.A. birthday party on Wednesday evening was an over- whelming sticcess. Despite the ela- borate preparations which had been made for receiving the largest crowd that the rooms were capable of accommodating there was a knot of men standing outside the door who could work their way in only when someone left. Three long tables ran the length of the hall, with a cross table at the head, and at these every seat was filled. -Substan- tial refreshments were there for those who felt the need of them. A varied - programme of turns and speeches kept up the interest all evening, and the greatest credit is due to the executive of the Associa- tion for giving ex-service men this opportunity of meeting together again. Looking over those rows of cheer- ful faces, one was struck by two things. The ex-service men are get- ting older. How many were there who on account of age would no longer be eligible for service. Far ahead, one could see the time when the war veterans would be only a white hajred remnant of the gallant host that came back after the con- flict. The other striking feature was the contrast in social condition between these comrades sitting there shoulder to shoulder. Some bore in face and dress the marks of prosperity and contentment. Many showed that they labored hard to keep up with the game. And not a few carried the marks of defeat, of unemployment and of a precarious livelihood conducted on the brink of despair. War was a bitter struggle, but for some who gave their best in France peace is infinitely more bit- ter. Yet for this night, men were comforted in each other's company and all joined in laughter and good fellowship. Mr. C. Hicks acted as chairman and introduced His Worship, Mayor Angrove, who welcomed the gather- ing and wished the association suc- cess. After Dr. W. D. Sharpe, Do- minion President of the G.W.V.A., had also spoken a word of welcome, Lt.-Col. H. E. Pense, D.8.0., recalled the incidents of the battle of Vimy. This had been the first occasion on which the four Canadian divisions had acted together, and (it was by acting together now that similar successes would be achieved. 'Stick it," he said, "and be of good cheer." ; Messrs. Young and Whalen then put on a remarkably good female impersonation ,which brought back memories of the t companies of the war. 'Marshall, in highland cos } 8 "with excel- lent singing, kept the gathering In gales of laughter with his accounts of experiences among the bonnie lasses; Mr. Polis mystified the onlookers with sleight of hand and drew from a saw strange music. In the absence of the president, Comrade Flint, vice-president of the association, cut the birthday cake. Amid loud applause, Dr. Sharpe rose to give the address of the even< ing. No men, he said, are bound to- gether by stronger ties than are the ex-service men, He proceeded to show the work which the G.W.V.A. has performed for the' ex-service men in securing justice from the pension and medical authorities. He gave case after case in which the association had been able to effect settlement. © The G.W.V.A. is a rvice organization. Part of that service had been performed in France, the remainder was still to be done in Canada. The services of men who had been through what they had been through, who had learned what they had learned, were too valuable to be lost to the coun- try. They must still work for their be T- A_------y PICTORIAL MAGAZINE FOR MAY... wee 15¢, Floor Linoleums--15 designs--. cer eeinenn.... 95¢. yard up BE PREPARED FOR HOUSE CLEANING FLOOR COVERINGS Floor Oilcloths --30 designs-- Gold Seal Congoleum Rugs --all all sizes. sizes.

The speaker was listened to with close attention, and was given the endorsation of loud applause. A large number of excellent musi- cal numbers were furnished during the evening by an orchestra consist- ing of Mrs. McGrath and Messrs. Radcliffe, McAuley, Johnston, Arm- strong, Dunn and Donnelly. -- MISSION BAND CONCERT. Given in Chalmers Hall on Wednes- day Evening. The Macgillivray Mission Band of Chalmers church gave a fine pro- gramme of varied nature before a large audience in the Sunday school hall on Wednesday evening. Rev. Dr. Malcolm Macgillivtay was the genial chairman of the evening, and at the close of the concert some {in- teresting slides showing the work of the W. M. 8. among children in Canada and in foreign countries were displayed. Prizes for the best attendance at the meetings of the Band in 1924 were presented by Mrs. J. F. McFadyen to the Misses Helen Matheson and Constance Carr, The entire band united in the open- ing chorus and in other choruses and drills during the evening. Leading parts were taken by the Misses Jea McDonald, Hurrell Johnstone, Eleanor Allan, Margaret Barrett, Dorothy Harlow, Evelyn Allan, Ruth Harlow, Elizabeth Young and Jean Johnston, and by Masters Malcolm Brown, Billie Elliott, Donald John- ston, Billie Young, Henry Lingham, Ross Burke and Abey Richmond. Much credit is due to Mrs. G. A, Brown, leader of the Band, for the excellent showing and spirit of the children. Four Boys On Bicycle. There used to be a song about "A Bicycle Built for Two," but on Wed- nesday no less than four boys were observed riding simultaneously on one bicycle on Clarence street. One was on the handlebars, one on the | LETTERS To The Editor Do You Remember? Ottawa, April 15.--(To the Edi- tor): Many of those things your con- tributor calls to mind about good old Kingston are very interesting to some of us old time Kingstonians. I wonder if among your readers anyone can remember on' what street a certain Mr. Aldenby carried on the tailoring business in King- ston some 70 years years ago: in the early part of the fifties of last century. If so, I shall be greatly obliged if he or she will drop you or me a line indicating the locality. I hope you will afford space for this short note, and also a reply it you receive one.
