The committees were heartily in favor of definite signed complaints heing sub- wsitted and felt that the Y. MCA. must immediately and thoroughly in- vestigate all such complaints or lose thé faith of the puble.

Bordon should be heartily endorsed, Three resolutions' were drafted and sent forward so that the matter contained in them would be sure to come up for discussion. One pt the clothing allowance to men scharged prior to June 25th, 1918, be $35 upon their turning in the spe- cified clothing; second, that the wid- ow of Hon.

PATTEHSON TION WITH CIVIL GETS POSI- UTHATIES, Was Appointed at Meeting Held on Monday Afternoon----Satisfactory Conferencs | Held With Ho Commission for Supply of Power. At a meeting of the Civic Utilities Commission held on Monday after- noon, 'W. A. Patterson, for some years accountant with N. ©. Polson & Company, was arpointed account; ant for the iCivie Utilities Commis- gion {ill the vacancy <aused by ignation of James was recently appointed liquor vendor at Kingston. Mr. salary was fixed at $1, 600 per year. A dozen or more ap- plications were teceived for the position The appointment was a unanimous one, pn motion of. Com- missioner Macfarlane. 'Mr. Patler- son will be asked to give 'his entire time to the leity's 'business. This means that he will not be permitted to carry on the 'work of an account- ant for any other business. at any time. Mr. Patterson had a wide experl- ence in this special fine of work previous to taking 'over his position with the 'N. C. Polson Company. He was engaged in this work both in Toronto mand Montreal, and. is re- garded as a 'man especially . fitted for the position. (Chairman Chown and Commis- sioner [Rigney, who recently had a conference - in Toronto with Sir Adam Beck regarding hyro 'power, submitted a report. Mr. Shown stated that 'while the -Hydro-Electric Commission had no definite offer to make to Kingston, the conference was a most satisfactory one. Short- age of 'water in the Trent river had been ithe means of cutting off a certain supply, but the Commission recognized the difficulties the people in the eastern part of Ontario were wp against, and would do their best to care for this section. Mr. Burnett, of Toronto, who has been acting ag an expert for the commission in the erection of the gas holder, wag present. A number of deaks had 'been found, but these would be attended td, and just as soon as everything 'was ready he would make a 'trip to Kingston for the test. (He felt that everything would be all right. The gas holder would mot be accepted until the work 'was satisfactory. There is considerable stone yet to be remov- ed, and this will also be attended to, a special committee composed of the airman, Commissioner 'Rigney and Manager Folger being appoint- ed to 'consult with (City Solicitor J. L. Whiting on this matter and after- wards take action. An order (was given itor the pur- chase 'of a new flange for the water- works department '@at a cost of $131.50, and the tender of Simmons Bros. for three tons of lead, being the lowest, was accepted. A letter was received from (Can- son Bros., of Toronto, who intend uwto erect eight or -tten new houses on Toronto street, 'asking for a gas and water service. ' 1 On motion of Commissioner Eltiott, the manager was authoriz- ed to communicate with Canson Bros., asking them for plans, show- ing where they propose building the nouses and what guarantee they are prepared to give the Commis- sign for the extensions asked for. City Solicitor 'Whiting wrote stat- ing that the city was not liable for damages In a recent accident in which he lost a horse. Recently the Commission lost chain blocks, valued at $122, sent by express. Al- the missing chain blocks could not be located. The city solicitor advised that no legal action be taken. On motion of Commissioner Rig- nay, it was decided to ask the coun- cil to provide more adequate means 80 as to prevent sparks from the city's incinerator setting fire to nearby sheds. Just recently a cap was placed on the smokestack, but apparently dt does not fill the bill, as just a few days ago burning rags and papers came out of the smoke- stack and caused another blaze on the roof of a nearby shed.

Corbett's ambulance. When the old man, who seemed to be about seven- ty-three years of age, was taken from the coach he was the object of much pity so starved and unkempt did he appear. He was searched by Police Downey and in his pockets was found $1,260.27. The money was largely in twenty dollar bills, though there were notes of other denominations. The wad was wrapped up fn the To- ronto Telegram of July 6th, and ap- peared at first glance to be sand- wiches. It was said that the old man was' bound for his home in Toronto from| Montreal. Mayor Mederic Martin| had issued a warrant for his trans-| portation as far as Kingston appar-| ji ently under the impression that he Bg was feeble and penniless. He travel. led as far as Napanee when the con- ductor found him huddled in a corner) of one of the coaches. At that place he was transferred to the east bound] train and returned to Kingston. At the hospital Dr. Bogart made a, thorough examination of him and found that his weak condition was] due to the fact that he had not eaten| any food for several days. He was clad in poor garments and to all ap- pearances might have been taken for a man without friends or money! in the world. It is apparent either that the old man has made a direct attempt to gull the public by attempt- ing to attract sympathy or that he is feeble-minded and is not aware of the large sum which he is carrying around with him The most prob- able cause for his condition is his' miserly attitude for it is quite evident that the $1,360.27 which he is carry- ing with him Is sufficient to provide for his needs fog the rest of 'his life. It is considered probable that he intended to make application from Mayor Hughes at Kingston for the transportation te take him to Tor- onto. One of the officials also in- formed the Whig that he believed that the man was trying to go right through to Toronto without stopping at Kingston it it could have been managed by escaping the conductor's aye, IN MARINE CIRCLES.
