City Council Meetings Special Meeting Held to Deal with Situation Caused by Fire at the Power House city u~ I - A meeting of the city council was held on June the fourth, the object being to discuss the position of the city in regard to the recent fire at the power house. Aldermen Bailey, Ball and Rowcliffe were present, the Mayor taking the chair.' The minutes of the previous meeting having been read- and adopted, Aid. Ball informed the council that during the past few days " arrangements had been made .with E. W. Dunn, brother bf the city clerk to take a temporary position during ihe press of work. - • Mr. D. Lloyd-Jones attended and asked the council if they would accept the offer- of two or three teams for a few months so as to get on with any work they required to do. ' He was willing to rent these for a nominal fee of $5 each, and hoped the council would find a use for them. 7(11 he wanted to know was that they would be well cared for and well fed, he consoled with the council at the loss the city has sustained by the burning of the power house, and had made this offer in the hope of relieving the expense, and 'urging on the work of the new power house. He also offered free use of his' lathes and water pressure should such be desired. - The Mayor and Aldermen in accepting, thanked Mr. Jones for his kind offer. ' The Mayor, in explaining the fire, remarked that misleading statements had been rumored. The true extent of the damage would . not be known until the engineer of the Fairbanks'Go. arrived. He then read a telegram from Hinton to the effect that they had notified the Canadian Fairbanks Co., but as there was no train that. day Mr. Smith would leave as soon as possible on the morrow. * Aid. Ball thought a strict investigation ought to be gone into and a written report obtained from Mr. Crowe as to the position of affairs before and;after the conflagation started. The matter was left in the hands of-the Fire and Light Committee. .<. The calling of a general, meeting was suggested as toon as estimates and plans for the vnew power house could be put before the public and after the engineer and fire surveyor had made their reports. It was also suggested that Mr. Millie should supply the location with a phone, as .it would come in useful in the rebuilding should any message be required to be conveyed to the foreman. Mr. Ball thought there ought to be a foreman on the park work and also on the A. _ T. removals. The Mayor remarked that two men would be required and that the man should, take the time as well. He would like to see a rate of pay agreed upon at that meeting, and suggested $2.50 a day. Aid. Rowcliffe thought $2.00 would be plenty to pay for nine hours a day. He had men working for $ 1.50 a day and they were glad to get the job at that. It was however fixed that not more that 25c. per hour should be offered, the rate to vary with the ability of the applicants for work. It was left with Aid. Bailey and Aid. Rowcliffe to engage the necessary men. The Mayor pointed out that the engine and hose were still on the scene of the disaster and he thought it best to have them removed. The engine should, be repaired immediately and:arrangements made to instruct In its operations so that: should the proper engineer be absent there would be someone left who knew the ; mis. chaniam and working properly. -fr was agreed to do this and to await any further development, until-the officers of the companies concerned in the loss and repairs had seen the damage and made their reports. The following motions were made and carried: Ball-Bailey—That D. Lloyd- Jones' offer of the temporary use of two or three teams for $5 each and their keep, provided they be returned in good condition, be accepted with thanks. Ball-Rowcliffe—That all arrangements, the keep, and handling of the tea., s and the .work to which they shall be put, be in charge of the chairman of the Board of Works. Ball-Bailey—That E.«W. Dunn be engaged for temporary office assistance at a salary of $40 per month. Bailey-Rowcliffe—That the action of the Mayor and chairman of the, finance committee in instructing the city clerk to issue a cheque for $300 for the payment of men required to protect the dam on Mission Creek be approved. The following telegrams were read: ^ From Thos. Cunningham, Inspector,'Vancouver: "Hold potatoes pending arrival of our Inspector." "Forward Winslow, Enderby samples infected, aiso duplicate to me here." From the Canadian Fairbanks Co. "No train today owing to washouts. Mr. Smith will leave tomorrow for Kelowna." The council then adjourned to meet again at the call of the Mayor. A meeting of the city council was -held on Monday last,, tlie Mayor and a full attendance of the council being present. The' minutes of the. previous meeting having been read and adopted the Mayor called upon Mr. Dahlberg who was present. That gentleman submitted plans, and asked for leave to' place an extension on to his building. He explained to the council that if they wished it to be so, the building could be built of brick or cement, and was given permission to proceed with same as long as the building was made fire proof. " Some question as to the estimates but Mr. Ball remarked that owing to press of- work he was unable to report fully on them at that meeting but would go into them again. The Mayor" informed the council that every cent of insurance had been agreed to be paid and that Messrs. Russell, Smith and Robertson were to wait on the council that night, to report on the fire at the power house." It-Was.a Teed-tQ-Iet—this—matter- drop until the officers gave their decision that night. The Mayor explained that luckily the Fairbanks Co. had made a duplicate of the machinery and had it in stock at the present moment. It would only, require a wire to be sent to have the whole at once shipped, and he would urge the'council to come to a decision as quickly as possible so as to supply the city with light at the earliest possible moment. Mr. Richardson representing the four companies in which the house and plant were insured'was present. He explained that, the damage done amounted to a total loss and had decided,that the full insurance money should be paid. He further explained that the companies would require 60 days in which to pay the claim, and the only matter which required attention was a motion-authorising the Mayor and Treasurer to be appointed to adjust the claim.and sign necessary papers. A. motion to this effect was carried and the various papers signed arid adjusted. A vote of thanks was next pass-' ed to Mr. Robertson for having made such a speedy decision and for estimating the claim to the advantage of the city. Mr. Robertson in reply stated that he'was pleased tor be able to come to such a decision, and hoped that the council would see their way clear to favoi his agreement with ^another insurance \ order, he also wished the , success with their new plant. i The Mayor explained to Mr. . Robertson that the plant would be i re-installed at once, as soon as sat- ! isfactory arrangements could be ; made and he would ask Mr. Smith of the Canadian Fairbanks Co. who was present to report on the damage done to the plant and machinery. Mr. Smith replied that he had met with Mr. Robertson and although their opinions diffeied on the question of damage he thought that a fair and square deal had been made as far as insurance was concerned. The damage he contended was considerable, and very few parts were in a fit state to put up again. He explained that his estimate could not include the boilers; he did'not know the dam age done to these, but did not think them in a very good state of repair. He explained that the matter rested with the boiler inspector. The rivets and plates were loose, the boilers leaking, but to estimate the exact damage the brick work would have to be taken down. He would quote for a new plant, including a new generator, new exciter, an improved switchboard, to replace transformers, arc lamps and arc I#mp regulaters, also agreed to put the pump into condition, every renewable part would be renewed, and the whole plant put in the same' condition as Lefore the fire for $7,500. Mr. Smith reserved the right to use any of the old piping, provided it-was in a good state of repair. H_ also agreed to take the three men employed at the power house into his employ during - the rebuilding. He explained that a duplicate generator could be shipped at once, the switch board to follow about ten' days later, pending its arrival a temporary switch board could be placed inside the building. He guaranteed to keep well ahead of the building with the .electrical work. When asked as to the time he agreed that sixty days would be ample time to have the building completed, and in running order. Mr. Russell said the foundations were not badly damaged, but he had had pressure oa the steam pipes, and found every joint leaking. The smoke stack was in a good state bf repair and he considered the estimate made by Mr. Smith a good one. He suggested a^stwight deal with the Fairbanks people, as th* machinery was supplied by them, and any part pro- vided.by another company would have to come through the Fairbanks Co. He pointed out that the lowest tender was the one put forward by the Fairbanks Co. and thought no harm could be done by accepting their tender. He had no complaint of the plant as it was installed before, and always thought the work it was doing good and reliable. It was decided to agree on this matter at another meeting. The building of the new power house was mentioned, but it was decided to call for plans and make definite arrangements Legge -Willis Production a Great Success later on with reference to the material to be used.

Newby, IJ days worE" on Pendozi Street 3 75 (Continued on page 7) < The crown of success was handed down to the Legge Willis Co., when they produced "She Stoops to Conquer" at the Opera House last Thursday. The play which dates back to 1 773 has run on and off for over a century and a quarter and still finds favor in the eyes of the public. It can hardly be wondered that, in the hands of such accomplished professionals as Mr. and Mrs. Legge Willis, the play proved a success in every detail. To describe the play at length would be waste of time, but the love story of Young Marlow and Kate Hardcastle is . without equal, being written in an absorbing style, a fact that made Dr. Oliver Goldsmiths works leap into favor. The cunning pranks of Tony add to the gaiety of the scenes, and without this character the whole piece would be at a loss. The dresses, which were made by Messrs. Davies & Mathie were works of art rarely met with in provincial productions, every item of costume was prepared according to the'period of the play, and no expense saved in making the production worthy ot the author. The scenery was in every respect first-class and great credit is due to Mr. R. C. Reed who put his soul into his work, and turned out scenes worthy of ,the best companies who travel throughout the province. Constant rehearsing had coached the actors and every actor "and actress working together made the play go with a good swing, very few dull moments being experienced by the audience. The star of the evening was ot course Mrs. Legge Willis,, as Kate Hardcastle, who acted gracefully and with cultivated elocution kept her audience in a state of emotion during the evening. Her natural way of acting, her .expression, her voice, leaving nothing further to be desired of her hearers. As Constance Neville,. Miss Metcalf scored a success, har pretty ways and manners at once finding favor with the audience. Mr.' Mantle, a newcomer to theatrical circles, certainly holds -in his hands the wherewithal! actors .are made. His deep base voice could be heard to advantage in every part of the house. He took his part in a free and easy manner, and did much to add to the'euccess of the performance. Tony Lumpkin as played by Mr. R. C. Reed, depleted him as I'enfant' terrible, always in mischief, and always trying to leave mischief alone. His song in tha inn scene required some music to accompany it, but after that he made a splendid study of his part acting to perfection and keeping the audience in fits of laughter whenever he came on the stage. Messrs. G. A. Fisher, S. Wrihgt and Miss M. Raymer did well in their respective parts, and one would like to see them with more to do. Mr. Legge Willis played the part of Young Marlow to perfection. What semi-tragedy parts he has to do are attended with a strong voice and suitable gesticulations that his return to comedy after these outbursts give rise to to an opinion that, although good in comedy he would surely excel in tragedy. Mr. A. L. Meugens also did well as Sir Charles Marlow, a small part with very little acting, while the Hardcastle of Mr. W. B. Pease, the eccentric old country squire, who was so annoyed at the way his guests were treating him, not for one moment supposing his house was being taken for an inn, caused the house endless amusement, acting with a fine sense of humor, mingled with common sense arguments.''-. The piece was received by the audience with applause, and during the short waits between the acts, the Kelowna Concert Orchestra gave selections of first-class music played by undeniable musicians. 7 / '• ' The play was again well received on Saturday night, a larger house than Thursday's being experienced. The hall -owing to tlie burning bf the power house electric light plant ihad to be litvivith lamps, but the inconvenience of this was only felt by those'on the other side of the footlights. Another Win for the Baseball Team The Baseball boys are continuing their winning streak, beating Peachland by 16 to 8. Altho winning their game, they evidently did not play to form, but they plainly showed in the latter half of the game that they were capable of playing a fast game of ball. Peachland appeared on the field looking fine in their new uniforms of green with* white trimmings, and for the first three innings followed in the steps of their famous predecessors of Chicago, by leading the home boys at the end of the fourth by 6 to 2. From then until the ninth they were helpless, while the Maroons took kindly to the offerings of pitcher Gummo, and held a little batting bee of their own, Eastman secured two home runs, while Creelman helped the good thing along with a three-bagger. L. McMillain played a clean fast game on 3rd base and with the improvement he has shown in batting form over last year is going to prove a star. Coe at I st, usually known among the players as the "Old Reliable" surely had an off day, a decided reverse from the game he played at 'Summerland, but he promises never to do it again. A. McMillain behind the bat was a pleasant surprise to the Discuss Rebuildini of Power House City Council Call Meeting of Citizens fans, as they were expecting a weakness in that department, but are now confident it is well looked after. The outfield with Creelman, Marintette and Treadgold is much stronger than last year, Creelman and Treadgold are there with the stick and Marintette is gradually finding his batting eye. Pettigrew at short played his last game . and his" heady work will be missed. Jamieson, last year's star infielder, is again reported ready for business, he will cover short which is his regular position and with Frame on second it will prove a winning combination. The boys are practicing hard three times a week as they have a hard schedule of 1 7 games ahead of them and mean to come out of the fray with the majority to their credit. The attendance at the game was very good and a noteable fact is that the fair sex predominated and proved their loyalty to the Maroon and White. The crowd which accompanied the'Peachland boys were enthusiastic and.their rooting was done in true Peachland style. Summerland is scheduled to play in Kelowna on Thursday, June 10th, and a good crowd is expected to be present. The score by. innings stood as -Ql]rnj_c • _- Peach. —024000 1 0 1—8 Kelowna-0 2 0 0 5 3 2 4 0—16 Strikeouts, Eastman 19, Gummo 9, base on balls off Eastman 5, off Gummo 3.

' * A very quiet wedding took place at the English church last Wednesday when Mr. Chas. Clark, ;the station agent, was married to Miss Agnes Rebecca Treadgold, the Rev. John A. Cleland, of Penticton, officiating. >Th_ happy pair left the same morning for Vancouver and Seattle. ■ •' A fresh arrrval to the Kelowna motor boat fleet is the " Sayonara," owned by Mr. -G. H. Dunn. The boat is 18 ft. long and 5 ft. beam, fitted with a 3 horse power Gray engine. Mr. Jones was the builder. *" A public meeting was held in the Opera House on Wednesday to , discuss the damage caused by the recent fire at the power house; and the advisability of raising funds for the erection of a new- building of ~ brick or ^.cement. The meeting, voted Mr~ Raymer to tlie chair. * 7 Mr. Raymer at once called upon the Mayor to exf_ain the loss the city had sustained. The Mayor explained that the , meeting was called in order .they'' - might see by a show of hands how the citizens would favor the build- ' ing of a power house for the sum of $4,000. He explained that" the building would be longer and' broader, and fully equiped in case of fire. He' also wished the building to be of brick as that was the best material to withstand fire. He , went fulh/ into the cost of building the last, power house and-also into the estimated cost of building the- - new one, he' also explained that the insurance carried on the whole ' plant had been paid in full.' The'' only figures he could not go. into', were the. boilers. They were put '. up at a cost of $4,900- and were insured, and it was estimated that' they would cost about $1,000 to be put in good repair. Mr. .Stirling was present and >. said he.did not understand why " the sawdust was behind- the „ boil- "" / ers and.furnace, he • considered it' ",/*[ very dangerous and ' would 'vote '- for any change on those plans. He thought the enlarging of die building a good plan provided it made arrangements for the sawdust, by . which the furnace -is fed, to be brought either -directJ* from the, sawmill by a carrier to .the power house or else stored in bins away 7 „ from the furnace doors. Aid. Elliott explained that the ' j question of a carrier between the sawmill and power house' hadi. been gone into and it was found ) that the mill had' not 'sufficient/ power to make provision for the ' carrier. He also, explained that" council saw it was very necessary >■ to keep the sawdust away from the furnace doors, and -provision - should be made for this in- the new plans. Mr. Taylor .wished to know if brick was more expensive than concrete. "The-Mayor explained ! that brick had been - decided on by the council, owing to the general opinion__that_-the bui!ding-H=-^ would sweat terribly from the\ furnace heat. Mr." Taylor suggest- J ed that more insurance-should be - carried in /'future, as .■ the total. amount at-present was not sufficient to provide for a total loss.* Mr. Raymer remarked that a , by-law had just been passed for the expending of $4,000 on the park. * That money was supplementary money originally, raised for the". , purpose of buying the park, and finally voted for park improvements . He would like to see that by-law ' rescinded, and the whole amount ' placed on the rebuilding of the new power house. Mf.' Raymer's suggestion was ,, . received with applause, Mr. Elliott / however, saying that . now, the ' - money had been voted for park uses it was a pity to turn'that \ decision down. The. matter was' •' allowed to drop at this juncture/ * • and Mr. Sutherland s turned-the drift of the meeting into, the Water .* question. _, . i %i , Much discusston arose' about the extension of the "water system. /, 7 Mr. Sutherland was ofthe opin . v ion that that the city would -wake " up:when they found an,epidemic ." of typhoid in the to'wtiV-7 -y „ *.

Advertising rates upon application. The serious calamity which has befallen our city in the loss of the power house, has fallen with a terrible crash upon our citizens. That the seat on which our fire system rested should be attacked by fire itself seems a hard proposition to have to stand by,.i*but it is perhaps as well to look upon the rosy side of affiairs, and take the whole as a blessing in disguise. That the power house was in charge of one man has received great comment from the general public, and that the building was made of wood is another condemnation of a penny wise pound foolish policy. Three sittings of our council have been called during the past week and one general meeting to "decide what to do in the matter, and it is pleasing to note that by these meetings compensation to the extent of $8,000 has been admitted by insurance companies. It is also a pleasing feature to know that the plant can be reinstalled for $7,500, which allows $500 to the good, to go towards the new building. It is now to be hoped that a good substantial building will be put up, and that the lesson learnt by the late fire, will Cause a different fire protection system to be installed in the power house. A general feeling is prevalent that supplies left from money raised for the purchase of the park, and afterwards voted for park improvements should be placed on the balance sheet to the expense of the new building. Such a plan seems very possible ; we are fully able to forego the luxury of a park, in order to provide for the necessity of a power house. Possibly the By-law voted on some weeks ago -can be rescinded, and the money placed to the more urgent use which appears before us at the present moment. In the midst of our troubles, it is a pleasure to see _-__ c _-_!._.__:_ i uiig iiiairujuic ioi vvmu iu iciiu a hand. We refer to Mr. D. Lloyd-Jones who has lent the city three 'teams, in order to forge ahead the building of the destroyed edifice,.and also for any other purpose the city may think fit; these teams have been on the road hauling sidewalks and pulling out posts, and it is a great advantage to the city to- have such a person as Mr. Jones in their midst. It is a pity to see the plans r of the Aquatic Assoc, cut down. . Such a building would have . been an attraction in these parts no doubt, ■ but under the circumstances, the be. t and only available plan was the modification of the size of the building. At this , unsetdedtime of the year it is a hard task to get people to put their money into anew concern, and'more especially, on top of the,power house loss, and the general depression of trade. It is however to be hoped that the start that is being, made will,.soon develope into the desired and original project.

Mr. Rose asked the council if they would agree to the plans of the Association's building being reduced in size, as they had been unable to raise the subscriptions at present, and wanted to get ahead with the buildings. The season for bathing was near.at hand and _ he would like to see a start made on" the buildings. It was further agreed that the building should be put up so that future extensions could be made. Permission was at once granted to do this, it being suggested that the buildings should be started as soon as possible. Mr. Meugen's claims for damages was again laid on the table for one week as no satisfactory details were forthcoming. The question of Mr. Bowes's tents was next brought up, it being finally decided to leave them where they are so as to allow the extrance to the park to. go across Lloyd-Jone's property. The Mayor suggested a brick building to be put up on the site of the old power house. Aid. Cox thought cement better as the foundation had stood the strain' well before and he considered the material fireproof. It was also suggested to build a fireproof roof and to make the whole business ■ uninflamable.

Mr. Smith submitted agreements which were signed by the Mayor. Mr. Smith said the Fairbanks Company wished payment of one third on the arrival of the machinery, one third on the machinery when set,up and one third when the plant was in full working order, and he estimated that the work would take about, six weeks. When asked if he would guarantee this time Mr. Smith explained he did not wish to enter into any agreement of that kind, he could only promise to do his best to get the work through. Mr. Russell was present and was asked for his report. He explained that (he plant as specified was the' same as had been already installed, with' the exception of the switch board, this he contended was a much better switch board than the one which had been destroyed, as it had two levers for the manipulation of the arc lights. It was agreed to accept the quotation given by Mr. Smith on behalf of the Fairbanks Co. and to ask him to proceed v. ith the'greatest possible speed. Mr/Smith agreed to take into his employ Mr. Russell and Mr. Crowe and to keep them at work pending the arrival of the machinery. _ The question of the new building ' next laid before the council. It was agreed to make the building 10 feet longer and three feet wider than the old building. The estimated cost of the building would be about $4,000, and it was decided to call for tenders at once. In the meantime it was suggested that' Mr. Thomas should get out plans and submit them at the next meeting. ^ An alteration was made in the minutes of the previous meeting, viz: that Mr Meugen's claim should be iaid on the table and not left open for discussion at next meeting. Mr. Wheeler attended and asked what he should do with reference to the drainage of his hotel, he did not like the present arrangements and asked leave to place a pipe in, carrying the drainage away.

The serious calamity which has befallen our city in the loss of the power house, has fallen with a terrible crash upon our citizens. That the seat on which our fire system rested should be attacked by fire itself seems a hard proposition to have to stand by,.; but it is perhaps as well to look upon the rosy side of affiairs, and take the whole as a blessing in disguise. That the power house was in charge of one man has received great comment from the general public, and that the building was made of wood is another condemnation of a penny wise pound foolish policy. Three sittings of our council have been called during the past week and one general meeting to decide what to do in the matter, and it is pleasing to note that by these meetings compensation to the extent of $8,000 has been admitted by insurance companies. It is also a pleasing feature to know that the plant can be reinstalled for $7,500, which allows $500 to the good, to go towards the new building. It is now to be hoped that a good substantial building will be put up, and , that the lesson learnt by the late fire, will cause a different fire protection system to be installed in the power house. A general feeling is prevalent that supplies left from money raised for the purchase of the park, and afterwards voted for park improvements should be placed on the balance sheet to the expense of the new build ing. Such a plan seems very possible ; we are fully able to forego the luxury of a park, in ofr der to provide for the necessity of a power house. Possibly the By-law voted on some weeks ago can be rescinded, and the money placed to the more urgent use which appears before us at the present moment. In the midst of our troubles, it is a pleasure to see , , £.^lrr.J.-l.»J -unc man C_mc iui warcrto iena a hand. We refer to Mr. D. Lloyd-Jones who has lent the city three'teams, in order to forge ahead the building of the destroyed edifice,.and also for any other purpose the city may think fit; these teams have been on the road hauling sidewalks and pulling out posts, and it is a great advantage to the city to have such a person as Mr. Jones in their midst. 20th Century Barber Shop Bernard Ave. ' Hair-cuttirig.Shaving brShampoo ing.'

Mr. Rose asked the council if they would agree to the plans of the Association's building being reduced in size, as they had been unable to raise the subscriptions at present, and wanted to get ahead with the buildings. The season for bathing was near.at hand and he would like to see a start made on'the buildings. It was further agreed that the building should be put up so that future extensions could be made. Permission was at once granted to do this, it being suggested that the buildings should be started as soon as possible. Mr. Meugen _ claims for damage's was again laid on the table for one week as no satisfactory details were forthcoming. The question of Mr. Bowes's tents was next brought up, it being finally decidod to leave them where they are so as to allow the extrance to the park to. go across Lloyd-Jone .'property. The Mayor suggested a brick building to be put up on the site of the old power house. ' Aid. Cox thought cement better*as the foundation had stood the strain well before and he'eonsidered the material fireproof. It was also suggested to build a fireproof roof and to make the whole business • uninflamable. The following motions were carried: Ball-Cox—That the Mayor and Treasurer be- appointed to adjust the loss on the . Electric Light Plant of the, fire of June 3rd, 1909, and to receive and receipt for all money under the above adjustment from the Insurance Companies interested.

Dr. Boyce will however stay in these parts. Several cases of spearing fish were brought before the magistrate last Friday and the various weapons used were brought into court The magistrate after hearing evidence decided to suspend the sentence, Attention is called to the fact that people who go picnicing and light a fire must put the fire out before they leave. There is a law that covers this, and should the case be found out the fine is a heavy one. It is not sufficient to leave the fire smouldering, apparently safe, for a wind might come up and start a big bush fire. The law in this respect will be strictly enforced this year. C.

Mr. Elliott in explaining the extension of the water system said he wisoed the system.extended up Bernard Avenue and also up Pendozi Street." He had "heard. ,much about the wooden pipe and suggested its use. Aid. Ball wished a general investigation of the wooden pipe system gone into, he did not like to see the iron pipes -connected up with the wooden arrangements. He thought "the wooden pipes all right for irrigation purposes, but did not like their use on the general water system. Mr. G. Rose directed the minds of the chairman and various speakers to the reason why the meeting was called, they were present to discuss the rebuilding of the power house but the discussion had drift-' ed to the water works system. Mr. Stirling in returning to the original matter proposed that the city borrow the amount pi $3,000 for the erection of a suitable power house. The question was put by the chairman, and a show of hands resulted in the motion being carried. After another lengthy argument in which nothing of- importance was put forward, the meeting adjourned.

Mr. Rose asked the council if they would agree to the plans of the Association's building being reduced in size, as they had been unable to raise the subscriptions at present, and wanted to get ahead with the buildings. The season for bathing was near at hand and he would like to see a start made on the buildings. It was further agreed that the building should be put up so that future extensions could be made.' Permission was at once granted to do this, it beine suggested that the buildings should be started as soon as possible Mr. Meugen's claims for damages was again laid on the table for one week as no satisfactory details were forthcoming. The question of Mr. Bowes's tents was next brought up, it being finally decided to leave them where they are so as to allow the extrance to the park to go across Lloyd-Jone's property.'- The Mayor suggested a brick building to be put up on the site of the old power house. ' Aid. Cox thought cement better as the foundation had stood the strain well; before and he considered the material fire-' proof. It was also suggested to .build a fireproof roof and to make the whole business uninflamable. * l _ The following motions Were carried : Ball-Cox—That the Mayor and Treasurer be appointed to adjust the loss on the Electric Light Plant ofthe fire of June 3rd, 1909, and to receive and receipt for all money under the above 'adjustment-from the Insurance Companies ihterested. * Elliott-Rowcliffe—That the" council expresses its appreciation of the satisfactory and prompt adjustment made ' of the fire loss of June 3rd, by Mr, A. A. Richardson on behalf of the companies interested, namely, The'" Royal Insurance Co., The Norwich Union Insurance Co.," The Nova Scotia Assurance Co. and The Phoenix Insurance Co. Ball-Elliott—That the council -approves of the modification in the plans of the Aquatic Association- building subject to ' the final approval of tKe Building Inspector.

Mr. Smith submitted agreements which were signed by the Mayor. Mr. Smith said the Fairbanks Company wished payment of one third on ' the arrival of the machinery, one third on the machinery when set up and one third when the plant was in full working order, and he estimated that the work would take about six weeks. When asked if he' would guarantee this time Mr. Smith explained he did not wish to enter into any agreement of that kind, he could only promise to do his best to get the work through. Mr. Russell was present and was asked for his report. He explained that the plant as specified was the same as had been already installed, with the exception of the switch board, this he contended was a much better switch board than the one which had been desrroyed, as it had two levers for the manipulation of the arc lights. It was agreed to accept the quotation given by Mr. Smith on behalf of the Fairbanks Co. and to ask him to proceed with the greatest possible speed.- Mr. Smith agreed to take into his employ Mr. Russell arid Mr. Crowe and to keep them at work pending the arrival of the machinery. The question of the new building - next. laid before, the council. It was agreed to make the building 10 feet longer and three feet wider than the old building. The estimated cost of the building would be about $4,000, and it was decided to call for tenders at once. Ih the meantime it was suggested that Mr. Thomas should get out plans and submit them at the next meeting. , % - An alteration was made in the minutes of the previous meeting, viz: that Mr Meugen's claim should/be laid on-the table and not left open for discussion at next meeting. Mr. Wheeler attended and asked what he should do with reference to" the 'drainage of his hotel, he did not like the present arrangements and asked leave to place a pipe in, carrying the drainage away. He explained that he wanted to go ahead with the matter'and wanted the council to Electric Light Wiring and Installations A full line of Fittings, Fixtures, Shades, Lamps, etc. Our work has never yet failed to pass inspection.
