ING THE STREETS. i Offer of Kirby & Co., Accepted at | Special Meeting of the City Councib--Area Limited to 10,- 000 Yards. The city council held a special meet ing last night, to reconsider its de tision as to the road paving. Mayor Ross was in the chair, and the other | members 'of the council present were ; Alds. Angrove, Carson, Free, Givens, Grabam, Hanley, Harty, Henderson, Hoag, Kent, McCann, McCartney and Niele. At the last meeting oi the council, it will be remembered, that a recom- mendation of the board of works to accept the offer of Kirty & Co., to do certain paving and to canvas pro- perty owners for the same, under the local improvement plan, was voted down, The matter was not discussed, and since the meeting there has been much discussion among citizens, the general opinion being that the matter should have 'been gone into more thoroughly. Thus the calling of a special meeting by Mayor Ross. When the meeting was called to or- der, Mayor Ross said that he had two reasons for calling the -special meet- ing. One was to reconsider the special ofier of Mr. Kirby, which he believed had been misunderstood by several of the aldermen. = Another reason was that there was considerable business of another nature to occupy the at- dention of the council, at the next meeting, and he believed that it would be best to have the special meeting to take up the paving question, Ald. Givens stated that he was not present at the last meeting of the board of works, when it was propos- ed to bring the matter before coun- cil. He considered that it was a mat- ter that should receive the careful at- tention of the aldermen, Ald. Givens, therefére, moved, sec. onded by Ald. McCann, that clause 10 of the board of works report, which dealt with this matter, be reconsider- ed. This motion was carried. _ The report of the board of works, which held a special meeting during the afternoon, was then read. It re- commended : "That the macadam road jmprove- ment scheme as laid down in the let- ter of the city engineer to the com- mittee be adopted; that the machines mentioned in report be purchased, and that provision be made for the cost of the same hy the issue of debentures under the municipal act. "That the schéme of permanent. pav- ing embodied in the said report he adopted, as to the area considered nd- visable to be laid." Report Of Engineer. The city engineer recommended following street areas Sydenham Ward, cost #1,357.14--Ba- got street, from William to West. Park avenue from Barrie to West, Ontario Ward, cost, $1,3567.14--Ba- got street from William to Clarence. Brock from Barrie to Montreal.

Alds, Graham and Henderson, the report of the board of works was ado Land then clause 10 of the board of works' report of the last meeting, was taken up. The clause was as follows : "That having heard Mr. Kirby's proposition as to laying a permanent pavement and said pavement he in: tends to lay, meeting with the ap- proval of your committee, it is here by resolved «to accept Mr. Kirby's offer." Ald. Carson said that the meeting had been called for the purpose of deciding pon permanent pavements, and he wanted to see a free and easy discussion of the matter. The enoney should be spent to the best advan- tage of the city, and ghere should be no quarreling as to what amount should be spent in each ward. There would be a difference of opinion Simo the members, and the question should be fully discussed. If : per manent pavements were to be put dow, they should be a credit to the city. Mayor Ross said that it had always been his intention that the members should have a free discussion on the question. . The letter from Mr. Kirby was then read to the couneil. Ald. Carson skid that he did not Rote to see the ots tied 3 up to Mr. irby » proposal. He wis! to see the council = decide upon what should dobe, and that tenders be then called for the work, and that the besy be wccopted. No city in Can he said, had hetter foundations' than' ton, for roadways, and no city has better material for the work Ald. McCartney looked upon Mr. s offer as a good one. Angrove said that the city had and that official should the bbe best for roadways. In the offer of Mr. Kirby the city had evervthing te gain, and nothing to lose. 1f tenders were called, there would be a great waste of time, and then nothing would be done. The council should take advantage of the offer which had | presented itsell. Mayvor Ross said that the council was perhaps overlooking the fact that citizens in certain parts of the city had been asking for permanent pavements. The council should meet these citizens in their request Ald. Hoag said that an offer had béen made by Mr. Kirby, and the council would be foolish not to ac cept-it. He would be willing to abide by the decision of the engineer and board of works. The eity had had, previously, dealings with Mr. Kirby, and his work had been satisfactory. He referred to the granolithic walks put down in Kingston by that gentle- man some yulive years ago. He con- sidered that #he city would be safe in allowing Mr. Kirby to make a can: vass of the city. There might be something said about Mr. Kirby hav- ing a monopoly, but he could be re- strained to a few blocks at first, and then later on be given more work, if all was satisfactory. Ald, Graham looked upon Mr. Kir- by"s proposition as the best one ever placed before the city as regards the calling for tenders, he did not believe that another offer as good as Mr. Kirby's would be received. Mr. Kir by agreed to come and take a chance and put down 10;000 yawls of pave- ment. 4 Ald. Graham further stated that there shofild wot be one voice in op- position to the scheme. He believed that if a start was made, the scheme would be taken up in earnest. It was the duty of the council to give the offer its support so that a start could made. Ald. Kent said that he could not see any harm in the scheme. If the people wanted the pavements, by all means let them have them. It was simply leaving the matter to the pro- perty owners themselves, 1f the own- ers were of the opinion that too much work was being done, they could hold off for another season. Ald. Henderson said that he came to the meeting rather opposed to the offer of Mr. Kirbe. He did not he- lieve that the city should he tied down to twenty blocks. The city could do its own canvassing, and call for tenders. This might be a slow proposition, but the city would not lose if only a few blocks were done. It was also a question as to whether people in the loutlying streets would be willing to pay for work done om down town streets. He did not want one mill to he added to the tax rate. He would say that the area should not extend - over five blocks, © and that the work be completed during 1908, and after that, the city be free to have another contract if it was so desired. At this juncture, the following mo- tion was moved * by Ald. Kent, se. conded by Ald. Hanley, and carried, there being nine yeas and' ho nays, some members not voting: "That Mr. Kirby's proposition. as outlined in his letter of April 25th, be accepted th the understanding that as soon gs Kirby has signa- tures suflicient = for a bloek, work commence on that block, he being limited not to build more than 10,000 yards, all walks to be completed in 1908." The yeas and nays were not called for on the above motion. Ald Harty asked if something would be done to prevent the flooding of the cellar of Mrs. Quigley, on Bagot street. He understood that the mat- ter had been placed before the Board of Health, City Clerk Sands informed the coun- cil thit the matter had been taken up by the Board of Health at its meeting in the afternoon, and that it was decided to construct a drain on the local improvement plan. o Charles E. Simmons and others asked that something be done to the roadway on Montreal street, between Princess and Queen streets, so as to do away with the drainage. The petition, which was presented by All. Henderson, was referred to the Board of Works. This concluded the business of council and adjournment was reached at 10:15 o'clock, A Guaranteed Contract, In order to meet the demand for guaranteed contracts, The North Am- er.can Life proposes to offer one en- tirely unique in the history of lifain- surance, 'This contract contains ruar- antees reducing the cost of insyrance to a point below the rates charged by assessment societies or even existing nomparticipating plans, and in addi tion provides for the return of all ex- cess surplus earned by the company through favorable mortality, and mar- ginal interest earnings. creased on. ald certificates, wil 3 mo by applyi once.
