Game in Napaniés, Napanee, June 25.--There was a crowd of local fans in attendance at the baseball grounds in the driving park yesterday afternoon to witness the St. Lawrence League game be- tween Brockville and Napanee teams. : The Brockville team is certainly one of the finest in Eastern Onta- rio; they have the weight, alertness, speed, experience and practice, all of which are .essentials to success. That they would win the game was a foregone conclusion. The 'Napanee men were much lighter and younger than their op- p ts and it is greatly to their cre- oo .

The city council would not stand for the report of the Health Com- | mittee, which recommended that the | contract for the supply of 'six garb | age waggons be awarded to the Mas- sey- Harris Company, at a rate of $275 per \waggon, the highest ten- der received by the committee. After a lively discussion at a spec- ial meeting held on Wednesday | night, the council, on a vote of 12 to 4, carried an amendment moved by Alds. Joyts and O'Connor, to ac- cept the tender of the Laturney Car- riage works of Kingston, at $245 for each waggon. Several members of the council spoke on the matter, declaring that the city should support home in- dustry, and during the discussion Mayor Angrove rapped Ald. Nash on the knuckles for his letters, the local newspapers regarding 'the matter. \ When the recommendation of ¥he Health 'Committee was presented.the city clerk was asked to read the'dit- ferent tenders received. Ald Driscoll, chairman' of the health committee, stated that he had interviewed many citizens, and that they had favored the Massey-Harris waggon. Information he had secur- ed was not to the effect that the wag- gons turned out by the local com- Pany were not good enough, but that the waggons could not be turned out in the time specified, namely thirty days. - The speaker agreed to an ex- tension of ten days, in the interests of the local firm, and he afterwards asked the committee what explana- tion they would have to make to the public for accepting the highest ten- 'der, and the answer he received was tothe effect that the members be- lfeved they were buying the best and it was for this reason- that he was supporting the report. te Defends His Stand. Ald. Holder pointed out that the fire and light committee had accept- ed the highest tender for firemen's uniforms, and the board of works had accepted the highest tender for a road machine. The health com- mittee had accepted the highest ten- der because the members considered they were getting the best article. Ald. Joyce spoke in the highest terms of the work turned out by the Laturney Carriage Works, and said that he favored giving the work to a local firm. He moved, seconded by Ald. O'Connor, that the Laturney Carriage Works be given the tender at $245. v E Ald. Nash said he suppo: the report of the committee becatise he felt the city was getting the best waggon. He thought it would be a case of false economy for the city not to accept the Massey-Harris tender. Ald. Driscoll stated that he was very anxious to have a local man get the contract. He and Mayor An- grove had interviewed Mr. Laturney, and the latter had stated that he would have to buy the wheels, springs and axles outside of the city, and that if he was held up in the work he could not build the waggons in the specified time. Ald. Boyd praised the work of Mr. Laturney, stating that he had used his goods and that they had given entire satisfaction. Mr. Laturney, he pointed out, had also built fire waggons for the city, and they gave satisfaction. He belleved in keeping the money at home. Reference had been made to the city purchasing a road mixer outside of the city. These mixers were not made in Kingston, 80 in this case, the money had not been taken out of the city. 3 Ald. Price said that he was using & waggon turned out by Mr. Latur- ney and had warm words of praise for his work. At this time, . when unemployment was so keen in King- ston he felt that the city should spend every dollar possible in the city. -------- ¥or Home Industry. Ald. O'Connor was ready to sup- port home Industry, and Ald. Craig stated that there was a strong feel- ing among the retail and wholesale men in the city that if the people home there would be more prosperity here. He felt that it was up to the council to set an example in this respect. He was strongly in favor of giving the contract to Mr. La- turney. Ald. O'Connor wanted to know what kind of service the city was re- celving at present in the garbage col- lection, and whether or not the re- | f i | i $8 i ! i : fi 3 £ | | it i 8 i § ! it 5 F gf ef ii in Kingston bought more goods at hi Ladies' Bathing ...

"It is.true that I was at the meeting for a part of the time, as I attend nearly all meet- ings of committees, giving informa- tion if I have any, but having no voice in the awarding of tenders or any other resolution. My privilege of voting is at council only. It is not true that I said the awarding of the highest tender was in the best in- terests of the city. [I offered my car to take the chairman around for a 'Round Robin' because it was point- ed out to me that it was very urgent to get the waggons, but it is abso- lutely untrue that I met the chair- man in the city clerk's office, the fol- lowing morning, /and told him I would not sign this paper. -1 do n intend to carry on a running fire with Ald. Nash. That is his same.

He calls on the com- ittes. and officials to assist him in his camouflage but withoup-avalil, Many of the people knew Joseph be- fore, other are just finding | now, and before long all will form credit even in speech." On the question going to a vote the amendment of Alds. Joyce and Conner to award the tender to the turney Carriage Works was car- ried by a vote of 12 to 4.
