The storm king held full sway in Kingston on Friaay. Not in many years have the citizens had such a stormy day. - The snow started to fall before seven o'clock in the morning, and there was a steady fall of the "beautiful" until about six o'clock in the evening. A heavy wind accom- panied the snow, causing it to drift. The man about the house had more snow to shovel on Friday than he has had in some few years. It was a case of shovel, shovel, all day long. The street cars were put out of business around noon, but late in the afternoon the tracks were cleared. It was a hard storm for the cars to buck up against. While many of the walks were cleared off, there were a large number of negleoted ones. The city was one of the chief offenders, as City Park ing, and should have been attended to, Business in the stores on Friday morning was very slack, but in the afternoon, in spite of the heavy storm, the atores were well patronized, Ow- ing to the fact that Christmas is al- most at hand, people who wanted to get their Christmas shopping done in | time were forced to go out.

Late in the |afternoon a coal cart became stalled jon Union street near Division, and it |was some time before it could get {through the snow drifts. | Should Be Summoned. | Citizens think the chairman of the | Board of Works and city officials re- sponsible should be summoned to the {police court charging them with ne- [glect in not carrying out the city's [snow by-law. The city corporation is las negligent in removing snow from {is walks and through the parks as {are many citizens.
