R. N. F. MacFarlane, chairman of | the civic utilities commission, and the | manager, C. C, Folger, appeared be- | fore the members of the board of | works, on Wednesday afternoon, in| regard to the paving of certain streets which had been selected for paving |* this year. Mr, McFarlane asked that | the board' consider the paving on streets where all the necessary 'work sion, Mr. McFarlane stated that the commission wished to co-operate with the board, but pointed out that there were a number of streets picked out for paving which were not ready for the work to proceed, but there were other streets. which were ready. He thought it would be well for the hoard to commence work on the streets ready for work rather than to pick out new ones. Mr. McFarlane held that there was greater need for paving in the con- gested parts of the city than in the outlying districts. He found in talk. ing to the people in the outlying dis- tricts that they did not want pave- ments. Chairman Peters remarked that the people he had been talking to did not give him this impression. Mr. McFarlane referred to the con- dition of upper Johnson street, par- ticularly from Division to Alfred be undertaken before new. streets were taken up. - Chairman Peters stated that the board desired to co-operate in every way with the utilities commission, but that the board was up against it, in that people were asking for pava- ments, Mr. McFarlane felt that the board was going a little too far with the paving. It was costing the people too much money. It was a hardship on the workingmen. "Where are they going to live?" he asked. "But the majority of the people want the pavements," said Ald. Joyce, Mr. McFarlane said that people were complaining that their rents were too high and the paving was responsible in a large measure. He would be satisfied to see good maca- dam roadways in the outlying dis- tricts. He would be satisfied with a good macadam roadway on Johnson street, from Division to Alfred street. "But this would not be a good in- vestment," remarked the chairman, who referred to the extensive paving undertaken in Montreal and Toronto. No city could get along without pav- ing. The trouble in Kingston had been due to the fact that the city started too late to do paving. To- day the city had permanent sidewalks all over. 'The question of pavements was a bigger proposition and at pre- sent the expenditure was very heaty, but it would soon go down. Mr. McFarlane explained that he was not opposed to the paving but his request was that the city first pave the streets the commission had ready for paving and the board de- cided to consider his request. The board will' request that the fire and light committee turn over to the board the spare team of horses the fire department will have this summer instead of sending the feam to the country. The board referred a batch of ten- ders recelveq for supplies over to the city engineer to tabulate and report back to the next meeting The board will ask that the con- tract with Roddy & Monk, for the supply of stone, be renewed. Ald, Peters, the chairman, presid- ed at the meeting and also present were Ald. Godwin, Kidd, Sargent, Johnston, Joyce and J. B. Holder, DO SOMETHING BIG.

To a capacity house "The Faculty Players presented Barrie's delight- ful comedy, "Quality Street" in Con- | vocation hall on Wednesday even- ing. Comipfrisons are a!ways odious, or else we would say that this was the best all round amateur theatri- cal performance seen in Kingston for some years; but at any rate we are safe in saying it was the most finished production of this excellent company of players who are chosen from the members of Queen's univer- sity staff. The play is in four acts and from the rising of the curtain on the scene in the blue and 'White ', room of the Misses Throssel, to the final scene in the same room nine years later, there is never a dull mo- ment. ' The scene of the story is laid In a little English town between the years of 18068 and 1815. The cos- tumes, made under the direction of Mrs. R. R. Macgregor and Mrs. L. F. Goodwin, were remarkably good and the stage appointments provided by Prof. Van Patten were artistic and in perfect keeping with the per- fod of the play. The curtain rose on the ladies' drawing room with Miss Susan Throssel and Miss Wil- loughby with Miss Fanny Willoughby and Miss Henrietta Turnbull. The recruiting sergeant, who was simply splendid, with an Irish brogue that surely must have been inherited, and an imposing uniform of the days of Napoleon, scarlet tunic, gold braid and tall bearskin, was found in the kitchen with designs -on the maid Patty, who took her part to perfec- tion. The scene between the ser- geant and Miss Phoebe Throssell brought forth shouts of laughter and the house applauded vigorously. The dashing /Mr. Browne enters upon a scene between Miss Throssel and her sister as they are preparing to aec- cept his "offer" to Miss Phoebe. He says the gulleful sergeant has got him as a recruit, and leaves the ladies, who are in sad financial straits, to go to the war. years pretty "Phoebe of the ringlets" teaches a school, grows older, a cap covers her ringlets and her gay frock 1s changed to a sombre gray. After Waterloo, Capt. Brown comes back with an empty sleeve, and then the cross-purposes, so necessary to a stage love story, begin and for the benefit of those who will see the play for the first time tonight, we will keep the trials of the lovers and the cleverly wrought out denoument a secret. Mrs. Keith Hicks as "Miss Phoe- be," Miss Alice King as 'Miss Su- san," Miss Rayson as "Miss Wil- loughby" were absolutely perfect in their parts, and Capt. Brown was not only the manly, earnest lover, but war-worn soldier, who wins in the end the woman he has loved for nine years. Miss Phyllis Knight and Miss Marion Moffatt played soft mu- sic now and then, the sweet old airs matching the quaint costumes and old world ideas of the actors. In the Waterloo scene, Miss King wore a costume worn by an ances- tress on a similar occasion, The dancing of Miss Dolores Van Patten in the schoolroom scene was charm. ingly graceful.
