ELECTORS SHOULD REFLECT. The criticism of the Mooers elevator is 7 scarcely just to an enterprising citizen` It will he remembered that the city coun- ciloered a bonus of $L 5_000 to anyone `V who would build this convenience, so necessary to the maintenance of the port of Kingston as a transportation point. Alderman Mooers. alter the offer had long gone begging. took it up with more outer- prise than people thought anyone in King- ston was capable of harboring. The risk that he underwent should not easily be forgotten by the citizens, and it should N also be remembered that his work was the :: means 0! bringing theMontrea| transporta- - tion company also to the front with an 5 elevator which has cost 8160.000, is r the finest on the lakes, and is a guarantee : that this very extensive company is anchor- r ed for all time to come. When the Mooers company built the elevator they did not _ anticipate the removal of the Kingston 1 and Montreal lorwarding compauy s barge line.and were taken short at the very open- ing of the reason, when it was impossible to secure other connections. No one in his senses would build an elevator expect- ing to keep it idle, and the very fact that the company have so much money in this building is suliicieut guarantee that it . will be made useful. The company's `O3! is greater than the poo l,e's. Besides the entering oi the company ' to this busi- ness has led to the building 0 one of the linest of the small mills ada, thus adding another industry city. The people can reasonably give el derman Mooere the credit he deserves, and retrain from running down an institution because it is not immediately successful. The history oi the fair ground. some of ur mill. Can- the hotels, the car works. the vehicle` works and athletic ground are evidences of the lack oi proper spirit in Kings-: touians.
