(= Pail to Hear the Kidison Recital it 4 pa woasen | THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, WEDNESDAY, SHOULD COMPLETE WORK GOVERNMENT WILL BE ASKED TO FINISH WELLAND CANAL. Kingston Board of Trade to Bring Matters Before Ontarjo Associated Boards of Trade--Will Also Sup- port Provincial Highway From Windsor to Quebec Border. When the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade meet in Hamilton next month, at their annual conven- tion, that body will be petitioned to bring before the government the im- portance of carrying on the work on the Wélland ship canal. The matter was brought before the Board: of Trade at its meeting on Tuesday night by the president, Fran- cis King, and he will draft a resolu- tion, which will be presented to the meeting in Hamilton by J, M. C. Campbell and Robert Meek, who will represent the local board at this gathering. On motion of Ald. Polson, it was also decided to have the delegates | bring before the convention in Ham- flton of the need of- a government owned highway between Windsor and the Quebec border. It will be remembered that the question of a highway from Belle- Gananoque, and by representatives cipalities between Belleville and Prescott. The president, who was one of the Kingston delegates at this meeting, gave a 1eport of the pro- ceedings. The matter was first taken up by the Gananoque Board, and the meeting held in Gananoque was ar- ranged by the board of that town. While the question of having the dif- ferent municipalities share in the cost of the proposed highway was dis- counted, it js the intention to put up @ 'strong plea to have a provincial highway, owned and Kept up by the Government. Ald. Polson, in speaking on the question, stated that while there was not much chance of the government expending money on such a highway during the time the war was on, now was the time to get in line, make the necessary plans, and get the machin- ery at work. Ald. Polson said that a highway from Windsor to Quebec would be a great benefit to Kingston. Tourists would then enier Canada at Wind- sor and Niagara Falls, and it would be the means of bringing millions of dollars into Canada. It would mean a great asset to Kingston, and it was not only in the interests of the local {board to takel the matier.up, but also in the interests of all the Boards of Trade in Canada, F. G. Lockett, who seconded Ald- Polson's , resolution to bring the matter before the Associated Boards of Trade, said it was a move in the right direction. He stated that to- days the automobiles must be looked upon as an important factor in the building up of the. country, even more so than the steamboats. Daylight Saving Scheme. Ald, Newman put up another strong plea on behalf of the daylight scheme. He understood that matter would come mp at the conference in Hamilton, and he ask- ed that the local board support a resolution in favor of it. It would be a great success he said, if it were made a Dominion-wide scheme. It had worked out well in England, but not in Canada, owing to the fact that it conflicted with railway timetables, ete. / : Ald. Polson seconded Ald. New- meeting, and the members agreed. Kingston City Council adopted the daylight saving scheme, and after- view of this Mr. Meek wanted to know just where the city stood in re- gard to the matter. "The Council rescinded their ac- citizens stand in the matter. really want such a scheme?" : Docking Facilities. Ald. Polson brough up an impor- tant matter, that of docking facili- ties for the city, and this also brought up the old question of the agreement between the city and the ----------------r A _ When your child suffers fro cold don't wait; give the little - ach, liver and bowels a gentle, ough cleansing at once. When oul : ao ox teaspoonful gi i wards rescinded its action, and in|. sing waterfront. Mr. Meek suggested that the mat- ter be brought before the City Coun- {cil by Ald. Polson, and 'that the {| Council be asked to revive the old | question and get, all the information | regarding the agreement. { In view of the need for docking | facilities and the urgent need of fm- | provements to the harbor, to meet 'the Welland ship canal? the Board {will ask the Coumeil, through Ald. | Polson, to take the matter up. |" During the discussion Ald. Polson | said that the recent tgouble in get- ting civie coal unloaded in Kingston might have been averted had the city. a Wharf where the coal could have been unloaded. } iC: P. R. regarding property on the | Other Business, {i Ald. Polson, chairman of the Power Committee of the Board, stated that his committee would meet' on Friday afternoon to take up the complaint of Rev. J. D. Boyd, made at the last meeting regarding extra expenditure incurred in light- ing his house. Mr. Boyd was out of the city.all summer. His meter was taken out in his absence, and in or- der to comply with the new rules of the Hydro-Electric Commission he had to put in new wiring, while the so far as he was concerned. While the matter was under dis- cussion, J. S. 'R. McCann stated that other citizens had a complaint. It was in regard to meters being taken out of a house and being kept out until the new wiring was installed, thus putting citizens moving into new houses under great inconveni- ence. He thought this was drawing the line too close, apd he suggested that the power committee take the matter up. Ald. Polson promised that his committee would deal with the matter and that he would invite present at the conference, The Board decided to seek infor- mationyfrom the central committee in Montreal regarding the proposed campaign for additional funds to help the Belgians. While the question of local freight conditions was under discussion the Board was informed by one of th members that the C. P. R. had put on a daily service now a result of a recent conference ween the merchants and a representative .of the company, and the information was most pleasing news to the mem- bers. As a result of the Board tak- ing the matter up, arrangements were also made for the company to take freight up till 6 p.m. for de- livery. sided at the meeting, and the other members present were F.
