A sheet aSphalt pavement will also be laid on Brock street, from Nel- son to Victoria street. This was not | recommended in time to go before | the council, in the form of a by-law on Monday night, and will be put | through at the next meeting of the | council. On the recommendation of the | Board of Works, a by-law was also passed for the construction of a con- crete walk on the east side of Viec- toria street, from Johnston to Earl street, under local improvement. On the recommendation of the | Board of Works, council granted the ! petition of the Modler Company and | John Tweddell, for electric signs; on the board's recommendation, it was also decided to sell one of the city's pavers to J. B. Wilkinson, of Gananoque, for the sum of $150, and to allow 'Agnes Walsh, a refund of 70 cents charged for snow shovel- ling. Still More Paving. Ald. O'Connor brought up the matter of paving George street, from Stuart to King street, and also O'Kill street, from Barrie to King street, and the matter was referred to the Board of Works, for consideration. On motion of Ads. Driscoll and Holder, it was decided to purchase six canvas covers for the garbage waggons, at a cost not to exceed $75. On the suggestion of Ald. Latur- ney, the council decided to do the general pointing on the city build- ings by day labor, and under the supervision of the city engineer. Ald Latyrney also brought before the council the matter of unemploy- ment, and stated that many men were anxious to get to the western wheat fields, to help in the harvest, and raised the question as to whether the city would care to pay the railway fare of men who wanted this work, but the council took no action. Ald. Dunphy referred to the case of a citizen who had a suit of clothes ruined as a result of falling in the | the cafe's a UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETS \ Drain on Water Supply Heavy and Steam Pump Was Brought Into Play. | A short special meeting of the | Public Utilities Commission on Mon- day afternoon discussed a half dozen | items. The contract for a carload of con- {duit material was awarded to the | Northern Electric Company. An | American firm also tendered but the Canadian product seemed just as good and two cents cheaper per foot. } | The chairman and the mayor spoke | for keeping the money in. Canada. | The C.P.R. -offered the buildings on Barrack street, near the new rail- way siding, to the commission for §6,000. The chairman thought the price high and the commission will visit the property in the next few days before going further. The block on Victoria street be- tween Brock and Johnson streets, will be completed as regards water and gas, so that the street cam be paved. The same will be done with Alice street and on Division from Pine to Stephen street. The mayor was given the job of settling the little controversy over the hydrant in front of Peter Lee's restaurant. The regulation keeping cars from parking near such a hy- drant was felt to be a hindrance to trade, but to move it would injure someone else's store, and it would not do in a backyard or on thé inside of the street. The com- mission thought the parking. rule mjght be waived in this instance, the mayor suggesting painting the hy- drant black with a "Parking Allow- ed' sign. Mr. Folger has found it necessary to bring the steam pump to the as- sistance of the electric pump, so heavy was the drain on the water supply last week. Citizens were re- ported using their hoses "all day TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1998.

The Kingston Motor Camp at Lake Ontario Park is proving more popu- lar every day and the number of tourists who take advantage of this popular place is increasing steadily. During last week, a very large num- ber stopped at the camp over night and many who had the intention of stopping only one night were so im- pressed with the beautiful spot that they prolonged their stay for two or | three days. The following is the tar placed on the roadways, but council took no action as no reports have been received from the city solicitor or engineer. Outside Fire Protection. Ald. O'Connor brought up a mat- ter that has been before the council on several occasions--that of giving outside places fire protection. At a meeting some time ago, it was de- cided not to assist outside.places, un- less a special arrangement was made with the city for protection. Ports- mouth now hag an application in for protection. The general opinion of the council appeared to be that the city should help those who help themselves, that is, that the city fire department should give assistance to places where steps are being taken to safeguard against fire. The mat- | ter was left with the fire and light committee for a report. On the recommendation of the finance committee, the request of the Kingston General Hospital, to hold a { "Tag Day," on October 3rd, was granted. It"wasd' also decided to declare Monday, Aug. 3rd, as Civic Holiday. Permission for Siding. At a recent meeting of the public utilities commission, it was decided to construct a railwd¥ siding across Place De Armes street into the utili- ties plant, over the Canadian Na- tional Railway, and on thé recom- mendation of the Board of Works, the council decided to grant (he necessary permission. . The communication received from the Portsmouth council, regarding fire protection for that village, was referred to the fire and light com- mittee, also the petition of the resi- dents of Dovercourt, north end of Victoria street, re fire protection. The communications of M. C. Fen- wick, re electric sign; M.
