Water Rates Reduced. that thé rates be reduced from January lst, 1908, as follows : Ten per cent. on general household rates; sixty cents. a year off baths, and forty cents a, year off closets; that the minimum household rate hereafter be three dollars. re- In discussing port, Alderman Douglas held that in- stead of ing the rates, the coun- cil should use surplus receipts in extengling the water privilege to peo- ple who could not get it unless they paid a pretty. highsamount--iar more than they would pay if their houses were nearer to water mains. His own less fortunate neighbors could get water at a more reasonable rate. Ald. Elliott claimed that the gen- on to pay one dollar towards the de- bentures of the waterworks. The gen- eral taxpayer he held had received a big benefit from the waterworks, When the city took over the plant, it was paying for water supply for hydrants, ee. the "un ot NIA. Now it pavs only $750, a the people generally get the benefit. Ald. Elliott held that it was the consumer of water that "paid the shot," and not the general taxvayer.

It was moved by Ald. Gaskin, sec- Elliott, and resolved : i , that the by-law about to be submitted the ratepayers to authorize the issue of debentures to carry out the scheme of road improvement adopted by this council, should be approved on such submission. That to ensure the approval of such by-law, it is, in the opinion of the council, necessary that the electors should be fully informed upon the sub- ject; That, while the gratifying success which has this summer attended the work of reconstructing certain im- rtant roads in the city, namely, ing street, Johnson street and Clar- ence street, will no doubt be a power- ful factor in determining the ratepay- ers in favor of the by-laws, it is in the opinion of this council important that all lawful means should be ém- ployed and every available agency en- listed to carry the by-law; That the board of trade, represent- ing the organized business interests of the city, and the Trades and Labor Council, representing the laboring men, have a large stake in the suc cess of the by-law, and the scheme of civie improvement, which it is design- ed to carry jnto effect, and having a ide infh with the ratepayers generally, seem bodies! peculiarly adapted to assist this council in edu- cating the people as to the necessity of the proposed improvement and in se- curing the passage of the by-law. Be it {Nerefore resolved that the Board of Trade and Trades and La- bor Council of the city be invited to co-operate with this council in secur ing the passage of the above by-law at the general municipal election in Jan- uary next; and in case the Board of Trade and Trades and Labor Council shall signify their willingness to co- operate, that the mayor and the board of works be appointed to repre- sent this council, to meet the Board of Trade and Trades and Labor Coun- cil and their representatives, and to concert measures for securing the ob ject in view. The original motion mentioned only the Boars of Trade as a co-operative body. Mayor Mowat thought that the Trades and Labor Council should also be. invited to assist, as 'it is a very influential body, and Ald. Gaskin add- ed the latter at the suggestion of the mayor. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Fire Department Horses. Ald. Elliott said he was sorry Ald. Ross, chairman of the fire committee, was not present, as he had intended moving a resolution asking that com- mittee to make a report to council upon the fire department horses and their condition. He was led to bring up the matter by the appearance in the press of a letter on the subject of a certain fire horse recently purchased '| heing unsound. However, as Ald. Ross was not present, he would not move the resolution. Ald. Nickle said that Ald. Elliott might move the motion without fear, so that a report could be ready for vext il meeting. He would sug- gest that he request that the report cover the fire horses purchased for several years past. Ald. Elliott, how- ever, declined to move the motion, saying he would wait till council meets again. The council adjourned at 845 o'clock, after being in session a little over half an hour. Against Their Wishes. Although it was much against their wishes, some of the boys skating on Anglin's Bay on Monday, made off when the police put in an appearance.

No arrangement has yet been made for the holding of a county liberal conyention to select a candidate to oppose Dr. J. W. Edwards for the federal seat. At the proper time, the convention will be called, and a con- didate chosen who will surely be elected. Social Five Dance. The Social Five Club held another of their popular dances in the Whig hall, last evening. About fifty couple were present and a most enjoyable evening was spent. Crosby & 0'Con- nor's orchestra furnished ° excellent Street Methodist and Cooke's Churches Were Largely Attend- ed--Concerts Afterwards. A literary and musical event unger the auspices of the Epworth League, took place in the lecture hall of the Sydenham Street Methodist last evening. There was a very audience in at wv. X Sykes, the pastor, introduced Rev. Ernest Thomas dnd Mrs. Thomas in words of welcome. Mr. Thomas is well known to the people of Kingston, as is also Mrs. Thomas, who is a native of this city. The subject of the address was "So- ciety, Love and Religion," a study in Tennyson's view of life based on the "Idylls of the King." A synopsis of the essay was as follows: Tennyson as an artist, "Idylls of the King," a study in social forces; Arthur's origin --the rise of the spirit; Arthur's rule-- forces--love and religion; love, the the power that none escapes; the unm- dying demand for fellowship; is law- less love free love ? Its effects on so- ciety, two ideals of religion. The im- pulse to action--Arthur's sword ; the indulgence of sentiment--the holy cup: the failure of religion. Arthur's ideal of religion: religion as redemptive: re- ligion as life's background. The social ideal and outlook. The lecture was in- terspersed with selections by Mrs. Thomas, who is an elocutionjst of a high order, as follow: "The Com- ing of Arthur," '"Launcelot, and Gui- nevere," "The Holy Grail," "Arthur and Guinevere." The efforts of Mrs. Thomas as reader, were loudly ap- plauded. The vocal selections, Elaine's "Sweet is True Love." hy Miss Bajus, was greatly appreciated. Song of the novice-- "Too Late," by Mr. Cunningham, and "Crossing the Rar," by Miss Marshall, were gems of beauty. The national anthem closed the proceedings. An Anniversary Social. The anniversary social in Cooke's church, on Monday evening, was al- together enjoyable. After half an hour spent in. introductions and social intercourse, Dr. MacTavish togk the chair, tand directed the programme which followed. Reminiscent addresses were given by John Murray, D. A. Shaw and Wil- liam Robinson, ex-M.P.P. The address of the last-named was most ipterest- ing, as Mr. Robinson has been con- nected with the church since it was founded, sixty-one years ago, in the days when candles provided the only illumination in Kingston. Charm- ing solos were sung by Mrs. W. Jack- son, Mrs. Evans, and Miss Lila Haz- lett; Mrs. W. J. Paul and Miss Lettie Walker gave humorous readings, and the little Misses Johnson sang a pret- ty duet. Refreshments and the mation- al anthem closed the proceedings. Tea And Concert. The Ladies' Aid of Queen" Street Me- thodist church, gave a tea and com- cert on Monday night, which proved a most delightful affair for the many who were in attendance. The ladies were in charge of the arrangements for the tea, and they were perfect in every respect. The tables were very prettily set out, and the spread was of the best. Tea was served between six and 'eight o'clock, and every table was crowded. Alter tea, a choice pro- gramme was rendered, the pastor, ev. W. H. Sparling, acting as the chairman of the evening. The programme included piano duets by Miss Nicolle and Miss Dupuis; solos by Mrs. J. Evans, Mr. Bradley, Miss Mitchell, Miss Hinckley; duet by Misses Meck and Singleton; trio and quartetie selections by menibers of the choir, and violin solos by Miss Edwards.
