Cash Only THE DAILY BRITISH W CHAIRMAN OF THE UTILITIES : COMMISSION. 1 Dr. A. E. Ross and J. H. Birkett Will Serve Two Year Term On Commission ----- The Water Rates May be Adjusted. . Ex-Mayor T. J. Rigney was electd chairman at the inaugural meeting of the utilities commission, held on Monday afternoon. Dr. A. E. Ross moved that he take the chair, and the motion was carried by a unanimous vote. Those resent were Mayor Shaw, T. J. Rigney or Ross, J. H. Birkett and R. H. Toye Birkett were elected to_ fill the two-year term, and Messrs. Rigney and Toye, for the one- vear term. The meeting was practically for organization purposes, and to talk over the business which will come be- fore the commission during the year. It was decided to hold the regular méetings of the commission every second Monday, commencing next Monday January 19th. The selection of the two members for fthe two-year term was the first ordet of business, and the members drew for the honors. Mayor Shaw held the Hat with the tickets, Mr. Birkett had the first draw, and got a two-year term. Dr. Ross was next and he too picked a two-year term. Mr. Rigney and Mr. Toye followed securing the one-year term, : There was some discussion as to the method to be adopted as to taking stock of the plant and the system of hook- keeping, and it was decided to have the manager write the hydro-electric com- mission relative to the methods carrled out by the commission for appraisal and bookkeeping. : Dr. Ross referred to.uthe increase made in the water rates, due'td the in- creased assessment. His contention was that there should be no large' surplus, that the revenue in the water depart- ment should be sufficient to operate the business: His object was to make a re- adjustment of the rates, so that the con- sumers would not have to pay a higher rate. One candidate in the recent elec- tion advocated the cutting off of the fee for the lawn service and baths. If these two rates were struck off, just a few would be benefited. He felt that if any change was made, that it should be for the benefit of the consunfers as a whole and not just a few. Mr. Toye said he agreed with Dr. Ross, bit was of the opinion that the proper time to do this would be to await [dinate a'report and sée how the plant stood financially. Dr. Ross said that the péople were dis- | satisfied with the increase, and it was generally understood how: the depart- ment stood financially. His own opin- ion was that the tax for the use of the hose and baths should remain as at pre- sent, as they should be regarded as luxuries. He thought the closet rates should be the first reduced, A reduction fairly QUITE A NUMBER OF CORPS LOCATED HERE. ---- Some People Think the Artillery is the Ouily Permanent Military Body = The Corps Enumerated. A Whig man was quite naturally sutprised to hear a citizen of some years standing pass a remark on the! street which showed that that tadi- vidual was laboring under the impres-' sion that the artillery brigade was the only branch the permanent force stationed in Kingston. Of course the man in question was purely a "'civie," and knew littls about military mat: ters, but it struck the newspaper man that a little light in this connection would not be amiss, .
