Consequently if the banks decide to close\non Saturday evenings there must be\na good business reason for bo doing.\nThere is, for It han been found\nthroughout the Dominion that the\nopening of them does not warrant\nthe expense.\nThe extra hours of duty thrust up\non the staff just at a Ume when they\nmight be enjoying a little well earned leisure have to be paid Tor by\nextra expenditure, and thc bill for\nthis alone at thc end of the year\nreaches a very large sum.\nThe system itself appears to have\nbeen originated by a bank which\ngained a certain measure ol publicity\nby catering to what it presumed to\nfourth sireet adjacent to bis resi-\ndence.\nMr. Kirkland states he Is taking\nthis step as a matter of protection to\nthe general public, ln his opinion thc\nanimosity suid to exist botween the\ncity employees and the gas company\nhas resulted la little care being taken\nln the opening up of streets on which\nit is known gas mains nro located.\nMr. Klrkiahd's family, lt is stated.\nsuffered greatly from the escape of\ngas from the street mains, every room\nin bis house being filled wltb fumes.\nChristmas Boxes.\nIn accordance with the usual custom the council mnde Christmas\ngrants to the following Institutions.\nloyal Columbian Hospital, $100; St.\nVwv'f Hospital, $50; Providence Orphanage, $50.\nCity Clerk W.
