The discussion was prompted by a communication from the Brantford Trades and Labor Counell, suggesting the formation of! munieipal coal yards, milk depots and bakeries. A committee was appoint-| ed by the local council to inquire in- to the whole matter and report at the! next meeting, The council expressed disapproval of the fact that the work on the Mowat Memorial Hospital, which the Dominion Hospitals Commission is having done in order to care for tubercular soldiers, was being per- formed by outside firms. Local con- tractors could do the work just well, the council thought, and as free light wad to be granted by the city to this institution, the work necessary | on the building should be given to!

That outsiders are beginning to realize the growing importance of tre is proven by the many new lines of business- that from time to time are opened up here. The city's in- crease in population, in volume of business, in merchantile and manu- facturing activity. is attracting out- side capital for Ynvestment here, and is also the cause of influencing out- side business men to locate here. The latest store to be opened on Princess street, next to the College hook store, is the United Cigar Com- pany's store. Their headquarters are located in Toronto, while the fa- miliar bright red front of their places of business are to be seen in all the leading cities. * To-morrow they open their Kingston store, the "Pioneer," at 164 Princess street. Everything is scientifically planned, and Kings- tonians will see a tobacco and cigar store up-to-date in every particular. During the opening day double coupons and souvenirs will be dis- tributed to the patrons. The cou- pons will be actually worth from 7 to 10 per cent when redeemed for premiums. The assortment of stock carried on the shelves of each indi- vidual United Cigar Company store is carefully selected to suit the local trade requirements of that particular store. The stock is turned over fre- quently, so customers can always be assured of receiving fresh goods. The store makes a dally record of the number and class of its customers, so that it may the more intelligently and promptly meet their wants. Kingston extends a welcome to thie new business and to its managers. 'A WOUNDED SOLDIER Taken on Instructional Staff of the Infantry School. ~ Sergt. Inst.
