Hose Privilege Being Abused, and There May Be Police Court Sum- monses--New Gas Storage Tank Needed. | The Utilities Commission spent half an hour Monday afternoon dis- cussing with H. C. Nickle several clauses of the power agreement he- ween the Commission and the Street Railway Company. Two changes mude in the proposed agreement by t City Solicitor were agreed to by 1 company's solicitor, but Mr. Nickle objected to a change made in another clause whereby the company would have the right of using the electric lamp poles on King and Prin- cess streets only during the period the agreement was in force. The clause as originally drafted and agreed upon by both parties was that the company was to have a continu- ous right to use the lamp poles, while lamps on the company's stay poles would extend only during the period of agreement. It was finally decid- ed to refer the agreement to the so- licitors of the Commission and com- pany, along with Mr. Nickle and Gen-| eral Manager Folger, and to try and have the difference settled so the] agreement can be signed without further delay. Hose Users Beware! | Manager Folger, in reply to Chair-| man Rigney, stated that the water- works pumps were pretty well taxed during this hot spell, but had met the tremendous demand without trouble. He stated that the names of about fifty persons who were abus- ing the lawn hose privilege had been obtained, and some police court sum- monses might result. The chairman remarked that many people certainly abused the hose privilege. During the very hot wea- ther water should not be wasted by allowing hose to run during prohib- ited hours. ! New Gas Tank Needed. The question of doing away with the night watchman at the gas tank was considered.

How would it be to have an Old Boys' Reun- ion in Kingston on July 1st. 1917, the golden ju- || bilee of the formation o? | the Dominion? iH will be a great event, and we A are sure old Kingston men scattered all over * the world would be delighted to participate in the glori- ous event. The war will in all pro- bability come to a sudden termination before that time, and a twofold event could be held, viz., the celebration in honor of British and her Allies' success and the natal day, 1917, of the country we all love so much. Who will make a move to bring about so good an event? Commission $14 a week to have the! tank watched. The chairman will interview the military authorities and see if a guard in the vicinity can have his beat lengthened so as to| cover the tank. Manager Folger stated that the output of gas had increased so large- ly that a new storage tank was now needed, and that the Commission would have to deal with the matter.
