Steacy gave notice that he would move at the next re- gular meeting that the question of having daylight saving next year be submitted to a vote of the people at the municipal elections in January. This suggestion met with favor, and the resolution of Ald. Steacy will be put into effect whem council meets again on the 8th of November, Several amendments were made to the traffic by-law, which it is hoped will make the by-law. more effective. The amendments include the estab- lishment of 'silent zones' near the General Hospital and the Hotel Dieu, Hereafter automobiles are. required to run only ten miles an hour on Stuart street from Barrie to Univer- sity and on Brock street from Clergy to Bagot after 10 p.m., and also to not use their. cut-outs or sound their horns or sirens in those areas. Dr. A. E. Ross spoke on behalf of the Gen- eral Hospital and Dr. W. Gibson on behalf of the Hotel Dieu. Notices to Another change in the traffic by- law was that hereafter street cars on Princess street will stop at the first crossing instead of at the far crossing as they have always done. Claims G.W.V.A. Insulted. : The council was addressed by J, W. Connor, president of the Kingston branch of the G.W.V.A., who asked what the mayor and aldermen intend- ed doing in regard to the slurs cast upon the G.W.V.A. by the command- ant of the Army and Navy Veterans Assoctation, who addressed the coun- cil two weeks ago and induced them to change the date of the G.W.V.A. tag day. Mr. Connor claimed that his asseciation had been insulted, and that the statements made about it on that occasion were untrue. Mayor Nickle stated that he did not think council could take any ac- ton, All ft did was to change the date of the tag day so as not to conflict with the Navy League drive. Ald. Craig explained that the coun- cil did not at the time know that the G.W.V.A. had asked for a specific day for their tag day. Ald. Armstrong remarked that the best way to do would be for the heads of the two veterans associations to put on a pair of boxing glovés and settle their differences without the ald of the city council. As the matter had been well aired in the press, the council did not think it necessary to do anything. A letter was received from A. B. Cunningham stating that the provis- tonal directors of the hotel company, which was applying for a charter, were H. E. Richardson, George Baw- den;"W. H. Craig, B. N. Steacy and A. B. Cunningham. Council was asked it it would be willing to turn over to the hotel company the lease of the Clarence street park, should tthe stockholders decide that it would be the best place for the erection of the ferred to'the finance committee. Fire Truck CoHision. There was.sbme discussion on the recommendation of the fire and light committee to refer the question of lability for damage over the collision between the fire truck and F. Balls' truck, near the corner of Princess and Division streets on the 16th inst, to the gity solicitor, who would pro- ceed to collect 1p in his opinion Mr. Balls was liable. Ald. Chown said that the firemen blamed the driver of the Balls truck for the collision, as they declared he had violated the traffic rules. Ald, Graham was of the opinion that the fire depantment was to blame for the accident by running at such a high rate of speed. Ald. Armstrong said that as far as he could ascértain probably both parties were to blame. Ald. Clow stated that something would have to be dome with regard to traffic at the corner of Division and Princess streets. Many trucks 39 Yale stopped at the grocery at gatos coming up or down Prin- 'cess street to see what was approach- 'inig the corner from Division. 25 A vote was taken on the fire com- \ 3 ee's recommendation, and it car- by 8 to 7. Another clause in the report, stating that the collision was scaused by the by-law not being ob- fsorved, was struck out, as this was " considered to be pre-judging the mat- ter, when the committee did mét have | enough evidence. Mayor "Nickle intimated that the police department was receiving a great deal of criticism for not seeing the traftic by-law was carried out, but he asked if it was fair to expect ten or twelve policemen to sée every violation that occurred. They were doing their best to summon the traf- fic violators, but it required pretty good evidence to secure a conviction. The police were handicapped because ~~ the above effect will be placed at | | corners near the hospitals. proposed hotel. This matter was re-| corner, and it was difficult for T0 DECIDE SAVING QUESTION & citizets would not offer to appear in | court and testify against car owmers whom they had seen violating the by- law. The police could do nothing un- less they had straight evidence. The maybr said that the police wers doing pretty well in regard to enforcing the traffic by-law and the temper- ance act as so far this year $7,600 in tines had been collected.

The council decided to make no charge for the use of the city's con- crete mixer at the Richardson sta- dium at Queen's university, regarding the stadinm as'something that all the citizens would enjoy, it being a pub- lic gift. Ald. Patterson wanted council to request the Court of Revision to sit in the evening or on a Saturday after- noon for the benefit of the workmen who did not feel like losing half a day in order to appear when assessment appeals were taken up. The city clerk stated that the court had decided to sit on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 6th, The notices of the dates of sitting were already out, and could not now be changed for this year.

Kingston, Oct. 26. -- (To the Editor.) : I have just been informed that the cases of socks and comforts, to which I referred in my last letter, did arrive in France. As I myself was on active service at that time, and not in Kingston, I was going entirely on information from a form- er warrant ofticer in the R. C. H. A, then in France. The cheque referred to was endorsed by the present com- mandant. This fact, coupled'with the statements of the comrade, created the impression that an explanation Was necessary.' So, Mr. Editor, it was of use bring- ing the matter up. Many who have been in ignorance kmow now.
