The city solicitor is asked by the City Council to report upon the right of the Civic Utilities commission to (supply direct current to several large Kingston concerns and to refuse it to others. The matter was brought to the attention eof the council on stated that quite a number of busi- ness men would be out of pocket hundréds of dollars by the change of direct to alternating current throughout the city.

Nickle, Harrison and Hoag strongly in favor of a sliding scale in eivie oficial salaries, and thought by the eotmeil. Ald. Nickle paid a sald, could not be replaced, for everything in connection with his de- partment was right at his finger-ends. He favofed fixing the clerk's salary at a maximum of $2,000, to be reach. ed in several years. : Ald. Nickle, owing to the lateness of thé hour, agreed to leave oyer his "dissection" of the police beat Sys- tem and license matters until next meeting of the council, when he will have a change, as Ald. Newman once remarked; to "expatiate." He has the beats down to a science, now. Mayor Shaw and Ald.

Ireland, presented to that gentlenian. by the city officials, was accepted by the council and ordered to be hung in the city hall. Ald. Nickle told the council that the new police caps were neith- er police nor military caps, but yachting caps. He want- ed to kow if the police commission was going to buy the force a motor boat, Ald. Nickle plainly told council that the police head gear was not according to military etiquette. When Ald. Newman arose to make some remarks upon the curfew law, it was suggested that he recite that touching poem entitled "Curfew Shall Not Ring To-night." Ald. Newman remarked that it was a well-known fact that bachelors and spinsters knew how to bring up children bet- ter than those who had them. It was about a quarter to one cil adjourned.

Johnson paid a vist Ao the stabls some time duri Saturday night, took the horse and came on to Wings ton, and, as stated in Monday's issue, dis of it: for the sum-of $50. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the when arraigned, but made. no statement. Johnson: was 'given. a two-year term in the penitentinry ior horse stealing) three years ago, at Napanee, and on this gecount the magistrate had son thing to say to him. "Don't you think it was foolish of you to do such a thing when vou served time for such an offense ?"' ask- ed the court. The accused made no answer, und as he had nothing to say he was led away to the police cells, where he spent the night and, on Tuesday morning, he was taken to the jail by Constable Jenkins, to await the ar rival of a sherii from the Central prison.

J. Rigney (chairman), R. H. Toye, Mayor Shaw, J. H. Birkett and Dr. A. E. Ross were present, The necessity of something being done at once by the Uity Council in regard to financing the West and Cler- gy streets water main extension was discussed. The auditor's refusing to allow the water rest fund te be touch- ed without council's consent means the stoppage of work on the extension. It was decided to present the matter to tht council at its" evening meeting and ask for the transfer of the rest fund to the commisgion for extensions pur- poses. The. manager reported. that if pav- ing went ahead on Princess street above Clergy, it would cost the gas and water departments $5,000 dor main and service renewals, which at pres- ent were not needed. The commission decided to put it up to the City Coun- cil to provide the funds if the paving proceeded. Commissioner Toye brought up the guestion 5 leakages in water pipes on streets and in buildings; and it was decided to appoint an inspector to look 'into these leakages. . A great saving could be affected thereby. The question of placing taps on fountains, that would turn both on and off, was discussed, and the change will be made, so that there will not be so much water wasted. Manager Folger wilt supply the com- mission hereafter with: quarterly re- ports of the: receipts of the gas, wa- ter and electric departments. The chairman and the manager were given power. to. purchase 100,000 gal- ons of oil if they thought wise. At present the oil market is easier.

Men Fut to Work on King Strect on » Tuerday Morning by, Fotey and Gleeson Con ors, : On Tuesday morning al seven o'clotk, the work of preparing for the laying of the new pavement on King and Princess streets was com menced. The tearing up of the roadway was commenced at the cor- ner of King and Brock streets. A large number of local men, who wére out of work, were up bright and early for the purpose of getting employment. Foley and Gleeson, contractors, of Ottawa, who have the contract, gave local labor the preference. One very noticeable sight was noted by a Whig reporter when a number of foreigners made their appearance on the street for the purpose of getting a job but they were not given employment. The Work, which was commenced Tuesday morning, was that of tears ing away the roadway between the rails of the street railroad company. According to the specifications, it is up to the contractors to do all the ®xcgvating. work .along the street car line, and the railroad company, iays the new ties and rails.
