IRONTO REPRESENTATIVE 1 Churcl CARING FOR EMPLOYEES The progress made by great corpor- ations in taking care of their em ployees is illustrated by fhe latest list issued of employees retired on pensions ita single month on the Pennsylvania railroad éystem. They pumber seven- ty-seven names any it ranges Irom general superintendent. \pnd 'general manager to who aweep and scrub. a former It is said that six of the employees retired have been on the payroll more than fifty vears, fourteen others more than forty-five years and thirty others more thar foriy years. The average of two-thirds of those wetired had been in active service more years. The pension provided Ly the Paty is much more than a nominal one, for every employee is required to retire, even the president, at the age of seventy, and in case of physical disability, at the age of sixty-five. Fhe pension amendts. to cent. of «the Average pay for » Years Previciis "10 Fetiriment, ud plied. by. the dumber of years the pen: _sioner has been on the-employ of the company, The plan is so satisfactory that the road finds' it profitable to continue and to expand it because of the ex cellent quality of the work it secures, because it takes cre of its employees, in.so liberal a manner. ---------- ATTENTION! CLEAN Clean-up week has been arranged for this month. Therd is work to do in every city < where winter is past and spring has come in this climate We may say that the same thing is = true of cities in other latitudes, but we deo not. live in any of those lati- tudes and, therefore, have no . tern about their gituation. It is a Very easy task to clean up, if each household attend ton its premises snd with the co-operation of the city department there ought to be no difficulty in presegting King ston as the cleanest and--most at tractive city in Ontario to live in The city, is without rival in mang Tespects. It may make itself the ¢ finest town in the country by atten tion on. the part of sach householder and land owner to the business of clearing up after the winter, It need' not be understéod that we ' are in a worse situation than the average town, for if is not; but it needs, like any other city, to remove the sigos of winter, the debris, the accumalaions. whatever is unsightly and unsamitary and so prepare . itseli jor the warm season. It is a splendid thing to have the clean-up business undertaken on a general scale, so that none may feel = the reproach of needing it 'while others do not, 'but while all workjng togeth- er give comfidence-to all and encour age all and in that way work out the very best results. A DEMORALIZED MINISTRY - The Ontario government, helploss and disorganized, is again in the equivocal position of suppressing in- vestigation. Even the former experi- ment of making a pretence of investi gation and springing to protect the smirched ministers when crucial points _ were reached will not be risked. The "light is uneerémoniously turrned off. With & smaller majority and the ne- tive domination of a strong mind that cginet might have run on for anoth- ek term with comparative safety, says othe Toronte: Globe, but the dollapse hay been inevitable.

Kingston's assessor has for years | 'kept tab on remts, in order tg make equitable assessments. This spring he has already uoted a numbef of marked increates. but what is the use of increasing assessments on the rent basis, when landlords each year tack a little mor on the tenant?
