Year -- The Peculiar Position the Board Occupies--The Ques- | tions Dealt With. i At last night's 'meeting of the | board of trade president McKels submitted the followin, To the members. of the Kingston board of trade In presenting a re port of the transactions of the board throughout the year now closing, | your eouneil would first call attention | to the peculiar position a board of | trade occupies in the busipess life of 6 comunity. It may be said that it has little or no specific routine du tie to perform and that its useful neds depends entirely om ite being in touch with such commercial quds tions as may arise and demand | at tention. Its doties are at one time | to afford a means for waited effort, | when: the interests of any section of the commercial life of the muniecipali ty require assistance, and at another time the board may have to act as a unit in the vast nwmber of commerce al bodies in the country, either for the purpose of advancing the direct interests of ite own municipality = or in order to take action jointly with | other units in efforts to promote the | welfare of the whole, Oeeupying such | a position and having such a consti i | tution, the board may sometimes find its. field of operations presenting lit tle or no opportunity for 'the expendi ture of effort, while gt another tine it. may take action to sapport or de- frat the greatest powers in the na tion, and may have to deal with questions not only affecting the com mereinl life it divectly represents hut perhaps extending an influence over the whole commercial life of the ew pire, The year during which véur council has held office hus not presented for consideration any new business of great direct impaetance to the «ity andy there is no important eommaorciyl transaction of local interest to re port. Reference will be made to sever al local niatters which have heen dealt with from year to yedr and have had the serious consideration of vour pre sent council, In the first place a sy nopwis of general transactions will he given. 4 K. & P. Railway. Early in the year upon represenih Fons made to your council, recogni tion 'was given to the advantage of having, a railway opened up through the section between Sharbot Lake and Carleton Place, which would afford a short cut through Lanark county in the Ottawa route and wonld also al low the development of mining, mann acturing and agricultural enterprises the scetion opened up, Petitions ve presented by your council en direing the proposal and asking the wal government aid. Subsidies have agd provincial goveraments and the y has been paved Jor opening the line. Reference shouldbe made to the fact that the K & PY railway has be- come identified with the €. I. R. and that we have, therefore, direct eon nection" with both the main lines of the cosntry. It is hoped that the kK & P., which has always proved of great value to the business interests of the city, may now become, if anv thing, a more important factor in the the city's commercial Hife. Grand Trunk Railway, iron ving a petition from the a of the Grip, asking assistapceiTa procure. an ently Mag ing service, from Kingston to poiffts cast. on the : G.T.R., your, gouneil caused fall enquiry tor be made, and at a meeting in February last resolv ed to ask. for a local train from Belleville to Brockville, leaving Belle ville about 7 a.m., belieyigg that such a service would not only Gl the ex isting need, but would also provide opportunity for passengers from points immediately west of Kingston to come to town and do business, fe- turning by afternoon train. Such o request being aid the Grand Trunk authorities, your secretary has received mu aasurance that it will have every coumidération before the approaching 'change in the time ta ble, and tht due notice wili be given of any change thought possible = or advisable.

Your council recommended to the | divector of the geological survey that { the Pan-Anierican {fale exhibition would aflora a splendid oppor tunity to advertise the mineral re sources of the diwtrict, and the sug gestion was made that a map, show- ing the geological formation of the coupties. of Frontepae anil Lanark, should be prepared, Alter consineralie correspondence, Dr, Pell, the present director of the survey, made use of an existing map of the central part of the district, and extending it to in clude, the necessary. territory, prepa ed a large wall wap, showing in J» tail the formations and existing work ings, with the various rail and water connections, and this was duly hung at the exhibition, Doubtless the map served its purpose well, and #s iu dirgct results way be far-reaching. In connection with must be made to the icon smelter profositions which have come hefure the boara from vear to year. = Your council. was called upon this year to co-operate with the Lnance committee of the city council in considering a new proposal mace to the city, For tunately, ar unfortunately, as may be, the Promoters of the scheme wore found to be merely trying to obtain a roniraet with the eity for exploita tion later, aml as they failed to com- ply with. reaspnable demanas the mat- fer dropped.

Operations in. mica have provel mont successful, and Kifston invest ors are, and have been now for some time past; reaping large and steady returns. Overtime of Customs Officers. In FEebroary last your council. act ing upon recommendations made hy the hoard of trace, in Windsor, Ont. presented. to the minister of customs a petition condemning the practice of vegridring steamship, railway aad fer ry companies fo pay for the services of officers and landing waiters render ed onteide of official, hours of ordip- ary judicial deys, which, while lwing open ta other objections also, in of ject made the officials the servants of the companies pro tom, instead of ry taining them in the service of the government. The petition ur that the government assmne. the full ost of protecting the revenue, thus re leving the companies of an wiinir burden apd relieving the government from. obligations to public carriers. Many other comercial badies eh dorsed the request and I is believed the government will make the desire] |= change. bringing the practice in ac cord with that in the United States. * Copyright.

A resolution of the Nelwon board of trade asking for alteration of the duties upon pig lead and its manuiacturdd products has just been presented as this report was drawn up, and bas not yet haa con sideration. X In this connection reference must be made to the frequent occasions on which customs tariff regulations be- tween Canada and Great Britain have come under your council's considera tion. An opportunity arose in Febru i gry last to make a reasonable sug- gestion to the governments of both couptries. Press dispatches had. dis closed the posmibility that the imperi in levying additional | taxes to meet the heavy war expendi ture might impose an impert duty on i wheat, and your council, adopted. a resolution to the effect that if any tax were placed by Great Britain up on products similar, to those produc ed within this country, they should be so levied so as to grant a prefer énce to products of sil the colonies Copies of the resclution were sent to the premier of Canada, and to the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, colonial secretary. Mr. Chamberlain acknowl | edged receipt of the resolution and it was promised careful consideration {The boards of trade in Toronto, Mon | tréal and other centres took similar action shout the same time gnd the general expression of opinion could not fail to have &n effect upon any policy which may be adopted. A reso | lation of the maritime board of trade | upon which this board has just been asked to take action, will he submit ted for 'your consideration at the an nual meeting. Its suggestion that the preferential customs tariff as applied to imports from Great Britain should only apply to goods imported direct ly through Canadian ports worthy of support. seems Imperial Defence. A resolution of the British Colum bia branch of the Navy league upon this subject which has just been re ceived seems so important that it is also submitted for the opinion of the full board at the annual meéting. The stibject will probably form part of the annual meeting. The subject will probably form part of the programme for discussion at the conference of col- onial premiers at the coronation pro ceedings in London and the board might do well to express an opicion. The Post Office. Many efforts have been made to gh tain for Kingston a proper post of fice building. It has been urged that the old building could be used for concentrating the government offices, which are at present scattered on dif ferent streets, and the new building could find an excellent location on the ground between the customs house and post office. Rents saved should pay mtereit on the cost of construc on, Your council, believing, however, that half a loaf is better than bread, made recommendation this year that at least the old building might be improved by proper accom modation for parcels instead of the very small fewspaper opening bow provided on Wellington street and hy making some change in the present dangerous and objectionable doors. So far, your council's request has not heen" attended to ane the matter should again be referred to the coun cil elected for the coming vear no Manufacturing Industries. Throughout the year" eorrgspondence has taken place with a pr. of manufacturing concerns alleged to contemplate a change of lodation. In most cases it has been clear that the bonus question has been the largest element under consideration, and in pone or Awo it has transpired that catrespondence has doubtless been varried on merely to bring some other municipality to favorable terms, The most important case has been the Deering harvester company, Chicago.

When, thercfore, a gentleman undertook to carry ont the work last year under the auspices of, the Whig and 'its capable pun'is} er, it was thought that the long felt want would seen be filled. Your coun cil" signified approval and agreed . to ta 2% copies of the book. It is most unfortunate that the work prov ed unsuccessful, and, if as it is al leged, that the failure resulted from the lack of general support from Kingston merchants, there would reason to doubt the advisability any further attempt in the same line It i= hoped that the idea of the work will' not he dropped.

Your council is com pelled to emphasize again the noed for attractive ascommodation for these visitors, and there iy good ground for the suggestion that in neglecting con sideration of this need Kingston may be overlooking one of her best oppor tunities. Manstufacturers may refrain from considering our advantages as a commercial centre as other cilies are willing to pay large bonus es to induce them to locate elsewhere but there can be wo doubt thet with prope: ani hotel a commodation large numbers of wealthy travellers would make Kingston their headquarters in the summer months, and the influx of population, even if temporary conld not but prove bene ficial in every way to Kingston. The idea is again pressed forward and the members of the board are urged to lose no opportunity that may to bring forward a reasonable plan for eensideration. During the year your secretary has answered the usual number of forms) enquiries, and has furnished outside firms and publishers with lists of Kingston merchants in certain lines of trade, and bas supplied other inform ation of various kinds required from time to time.

The few vacant seats were not filled until the eurtain fell on the fire act, but there was not the slightest disturbance.
