The Coal Question. : Ald, Angrove wanted to know why the light committee could not join the waterworks' committee in calling for : Ale, Gaskin said he was opposed to the waterworks' committee calling for tenders for coal at this time. He knew it was being done because of the anti- cipated oy strike, but tenderers would simply put in a price now, an- ticipating the strike, and the city wi be no further ahead, Ald. Craig said he didn't think that any answers would be got to tenders for coal at this unvettid period, His opinion was that in a time like p , the bylaw wiring tend- ers 10 be called for should not be en- forced, but that committees should be allowed to accept offers for small quantities of coal at rates that were considered reasonable. For instance, he understood that the waterworks com- mittee was offered 100 tons of coal at $3.50 a ton, but it was impossible to accept it, because the By-laws required that tenders must be asked. Ald. Elliott 'held that the water- works committee was justified in ask- ing for tenders for coal at this time. was no harm in doing so, as they had to be submitted to council firgt, The waterworks had cosl enough to last into August, The coal ler, who had made an offer of 100 tons for $3.50 a ton, was asking too much, he said; That ri Tenn h eighty cents or cart, coal 1 istance of ele Wot yards, orks + report was adopt- the 0 di ---- Light Plant Extensions, ittee, what the submission extensions. The mayor pointed out that last year no- thing was done. Things were "allowed to drift, The plant, was patched in- stead of being renovated, and it was patched by taking the profits of the plait and putting them into the' works, This was an unsatisfactory sy- stom and caused much objection. Now, three months of this year had nearly gone, and things were till drifting. The mayor said he wanted to give the people a thence to say whether they were in favor of the necessary exten- sions to the plant. In reply, Ald. Toye, said that over two months ago, Ald, Polson had mov- a resolution, which carried, that the committee do not take up the ex- tension question until it received are port upon the plant concerning the seventeen months it had been operated by the city. This report was only plac- od in the hands of the committee a fortnight ago. He thought the commit- tee was now ready to go ahead and discuss the extension question, Mr. Campbell had all the figures ready. It was Ald. Toye's intention to have a special meeting of the light and pow er committee on Wednesday afternoon. Ld t of a by-law for plant Discussion On Reports. Ald. Toye wanted to know if the chairman of city property intended to have printed the report of the expert his committee had brought here to look over the light plant with a view t deciding whether the city buildings would be heated with exhaust steam from the plant. Ald. Angrove profess- od ignorance of the bringing here of any expert, Alds. Couper and Cooke moved that the time requiring persons having vehicles stored at the fair remove them, be extended from April Ist. to May Ist. Ald Rigney drew from Ald. Angrove that those having vehicles at the grounds were nothing more than trespassers. The motion to extend the time for removal was car- vied, Ald.

Thomas Donnelly Goes Thoroughly Into the Subject-- He Advised That the Lead Al- ways Be Used in Fogs. The marine lecture in the oli Col legiate Institute, building, last even: ing, was almost entirely on practical seamanship, and was well attended by masters, mates and yachtsmen. Capt. Thomas Donnelly commenced by show- ing: how anchors and cable chains are made and tested under British act of parliament, and if - they pass the test are then stamped and certificated, so that the purchaser knows just what he is buying. He went carefully over the tables for the outfitting of ships, and gave a short account of the ex: perience met with by Lloyds and other investigating committees in ascertain- ing the best style and shape of anchor to use, the res after the celebrated Galves- ton storm proved that the common shaped anchor with a stock was fully twenty-five per cent. more «ficient than any patent anchor of the same weight, 'although the latter was com- ing into almost universal use, owing to its handiness in working. 2 Capt. Donnelly then instructed the class in the proper care of anchor chains, told them how to remove the iron pegs always found in new chains, replacing. these with pegs of wood, so that an anchor chain could be slipped when necessity arose. "Do not forget to make the inboard end of your chain fast," said he, "or you will learn an expensive lesson some day as did the captain of one of our King- ston steamers, who let go his anchor up at Detour, Lake Huron, and lost a splendid anchor and 100 fathoms of best tested chain." He described how necessary it was to have the bight of the shackle forward in connecting the shots if the chain would run clear through the hawsér pipe and also how necessary it was to dip the shackle pins in paint oil to keep them from rusting. The lecturer then described how to mark a lead line properly and how to use the lead in taking soundings. He told of an instance i: his own ex- perience when he came near stranding his ship by neglect in using the lead. and advised" the class to use the lead regularly 'at all times when navigat- ing in a fog. "I don't believe," said or or wrecks would take place if officers would only learn to use the lead in a fog." The lecturer described how all open- ings in a ship's hull should be closed and protected; described the. different makes of gangway doors and how each should be fastened so as to keep wat- er from entering the hull and damag- ing cargo; gave illustrations of the properly made doors and the unsca- worthy gangways, naming several steamers which had damaged cargoes through defective doors. He showed how cargoes were often damaged through cctive or unproperly cov- ered hatches, and said that as survey- or he would not exonerate a ship enrgo had been damaged through the insecure covering on the hatches. Caps. Donnelly went carcfully over the master's duty in taking care of the cargoes entrusted to his charge. "It is your duty," said the lecturer, | "to sec that every bushel of grain or | ton of freight' is delivered in good | condition, if possible, to te con- signee. You must use every endeavor DS this and vou will be held, re sponsible if you fail 'in your duty through neglect. Don't ever try to foree damaged cargo. on to vour con- signees. See the grain carefully sort, ed and keep on board of your shit damaged grain rather than spoi thousands of bushels of good dry cargo by mixing wet and dry grain in the elevator." The lecturer then : | ject of the master's protest, describ- ing a properly-worded protest and | showing how important it was that | the plain, truthful facts should be | stated in every protest. The latter | | | took up the sub | should include the date of shipment of cargo, the quantity and the names of | the consigners, the date the ship {started on the voyage; the date "on | which disaster or heavy weather was experienced, and cach and every pre caution taken to navigate the ship in safety, the probable damage to ship nl cargo, and the date of arrival 3 the port of destination. "Don't try, to give a hundred reasons," said he, "why vou did so much better than the other fellow could possibly have dome. Just a plain, concise statement of facts is required and then if cargo or hull is damaged, notify your own ers and consigners, who will send skill. od men to protect their interests." Capt. Donnelly spoke for two and one-half hours and promised his hear- | ors to take up practical seamanship and masters' duties at the next lec: ture, Penalty- Of Blood Poverty. Blood is the life.
