Amenaea. There was a discuspion regarding the recommendation 'of the Board of Works that the sign by-law be a- mended, providing that signs under eleven fect from the sidewalk be re stricted to a projection of eight inches from the street line, and to project thre fost when over eleven feet over tRe walk, this being the regulation in the city of Ottawa, Ald. Newman declared that if the regulation "was made it would kill the erection of electyic signs on the husiness streets. Ald. Graham said he would op- pose, the "Board of Works' proposal Heo wanted: to permit of every possi ble alegtric © sign being erected on Princesa street. Ald. Harrison claimed that there should be some fule as to uniformity established, Purthdrmore, signe should not be erected that would cause difficulty to the firemen in handling their dppaeatus. at burning buildings. i : Ald. Hoag supported: thd foard of Works' recommendation. He was a merchant, but he saw the wisdom of the proposal. 1 » Ald. Graham waxed warm ' over Ald.

There were someJmotterings betwee nthe two aldermdén, afd then the point at issue was i A Ald. Richardson held that the city should have same rule or ddenl before {v for the further oxtéfsion of Its streets, and he, therefore, supported the propoted amendmént of the by- law. Furthermore the question of obstruction by signs in 'case of fire should be considered. , . The board's recommendation was then adopted, I} nt Tenders for P¥ving. This was: the paving recommend ation that caused 's long discussion: TrEat authortey be uriven this com- mittee to adverti®é fof tenders for the various types of pavements for the ared on' Prilfeéss street between Clergy and Kisg#traets, and on King street' between ®rifiveés and. Brock streets, --tenderérs #0 submit their owh specifications, term of guarantee and- prices. CRMRDNOI. Sl rE Si - Ald. Richardson was not in fa of the recommiendwiion. He held that the city 'should have ils own specifi- cations. » : 'of like opinion. Ald. Graham Was It was foolish," he &dld, to ask ten- ders to subfiit 'their' own specifi- cations. Thé Board of 'Works would not know 'wiieré it was at when the tenders came im.' "This is ho 'way to call for tens ders," remarked Ald. Kent, "I couldn't support the recommendat- ion." : "We'll get better competition by. this method," said Ald. Couper. "We are going -the right way about it, and our engineers can easily go over the tenders and decide what to recom- mend." : "Ald. Couper is perfectly right," re- marked Ald.iNickle.

Litton, replying to Ald. Rich- ardson, said that it was intended to use' Mr. Mather's specifications for the bade for the street railway, allowance. There were no speeifications for the top surface. Replying to Ald. Gra- ham's criticism that it was ioolish to ask contractors .to supply their own specifications, Ald. Litton remarked that the most of his contract work was from his own specifications, and the people for whom he did work were thoroughly satisfied. "'I don't believe," continued Ald. Litton, "that Ald. Grakam ever put up a. building 'accofding 'to speeifications." - ~ Ald. Graham replied that he could build a<House to a specification as well as Ald. Litton. "I never had to go to him and ask his opinion on such a thing, or {o anyone else." Ald. Kent said he had héen enlight- ened hy Ald. Litton's explanation that the city's own specifications for the railway track base would-be followdd, and that it was intended to follow the rest of the pavement irom the specifi- cations of the contractors. Ald; McCann was against sending the matter back to the Board of Works. Therc-shonld he né delay in getting tenders. All 'that was needed was to change the reading of the re commendation to cover the question that have arisen. The cify engineer was then called in, and he explained that the intention was to give contractors a basis for tendering.
