A clause In the report of the Board of Works was the only matter that caused any discussion at the meeting of the city council, on Mon- day night, and the business of the session was chiefly in the adopting | of the reports of the committees. The Board of Works recommend- ed, "that the application of S. Ang- lin & Company, to instal three gaso- line tanks at the corner of King and Princess street, for the Imperial Oil Company, be granted. Ald. Chown raised an objection, and after some discussion this clause of the report was struck out, on motion of Alds. Chown and O'Connor. Ald Chown said that it looked as if the Imperial Oil Company was going to go into competition with their customers. He said he under- stood the company was about to es- | tablish several service stations in the city, and he did not think it was | right for the council to sanction the | company's action. He noticed that | the Board of Works had turned down | the request of L. Bird to instal a | Sasoline tank and pump at 147 Brock street. He did not think it was fair | tor the council to grant the request of the million dollar corporation, and turn down the man who was trying to make a living. The application of Mr. Bird, no doubt, was being turned down because he wanted to =! place the tank and pump on the street, but there were at present many pumps on the street. He thought the council should give its support to the small garage man. "I agree with Ald. Chown," re- marked Ald. O'Connor. "They say that the oil company can erect these pumps on their own property with- out making application to the coun- eil If such is the case, why should the council sanction their action: It we grant the request of this oil company, we must also grant the re- quest of Mr. Bird." Ald. Kidd, chairman of the Board of Works, stated that the oil com- pany intended erecting the pumps on their own property, and it was not up to the council to dictate to the company as to their selling practice. As to the application of Mr. Bird, there were members of the 'board who favored granting it, but a by-law had been passed stating that no more pumps be constructed on the streets. "We have a by-law regarding this matter and what good is it unless we carry it out?" sald Ald. Reid. "The oil company has purchased this pro- perty and they can use it for what they like." The motion of Alds. Chown and O'Connor to have the clause relating ji to the oil company struck out, was carried by a vote of 9 to 5. The clause in the report of the Board of Works, asking that the ap- plication of Mr. Bird be not granted, was. also carried. Other recom- mendations of the Board of Works f were passed as follows: Board of Works. "That the sum of 97 cents, snow shovelling account, be refunded to Rebecca Downey, 19 Victoria street. "That the account of Dr. J, C. Con~ nell, amounting to $22, for attend- ance on Frank Gates, re Workmen's Compensation Board, be paid. "That no action be taken on the claim of John W, Mathews and H. ll! Thompson for damage to clothes as $2.70 |i a result of tar on the Princess street roadway.

The Industries Committee recom- mended that a by-law be submitted to the electors at the time of the municipal election, to grant a fixed assessment to the Monarch Battery property on Montreal street, and the recommendation was passed. The only business of the council apart from the reports of the com- mittees was that of the passing of a by-law for the construction of a cement walk on Ontario street and St. Joseph street, as recommended in the report of the Board of Works.

The city council honored the city's veteran firefighter, John Hall, on! Monday evening. Prior to taking up the business of the session, Mr. Hall, who has serv- ed on the paid department of King- ston for forty years, and seven and a | half years on the old volunteer de- partment, was called to the "horse shoe," and after Ald. O'Connor, in an able address, had referred to the brilliant career of Mr. Hall, City | Clerk Dr. W. W. Sands pinned on the | lapel of Mr. Hall's uniform, the medal presented to the veteran,) when he had completed twenty years| servige and four bars, each one mbeking an additional five years'! The presentation brought - UBER wr Devlin, In 1878; Chief till 1884; Matthew der.

'And he has never.been manded by our 'present chief, and that is probably true in the case of other chiefs he has served under,' remarked Ald. O'Connor. "He was for forty years a member of the paid department, and Years a member of the volunteer bri- gade----probably the oldest active fireman in Canada, with continuous service." In pinning the medal on the lapel of the uniform of the veteran fire man, Dr. Sands said: "It gives me great pleasure to pin on this medal, and it is the wish of all that you will be spared to serve many more years on the department."
