Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper.

At tlie meeting of the city council last evening the four money by-laws were given their first and second readings, so that the chances are good for the citizens being called upon to say whether they shall increase the debenture debt of, the city by $(55,000. There was evidently a desire for haste on the part of the council, and when it came to tlie second reading of tlie bylaws the four were put through their second reading together on one resolution, which was moved by alderman Thomson. When the bylaws came up for consideration, alderman Fletcher made a little speech upon the necessity for their passage. He said that when the present council took ollice they found a small deiicit, but practically $15,000 of the revenue had already been disposed of. There were $4000 in outstanding bills and $10,000 for the electric light flume construction out of an estimated revenue of $55,000 leaving a balance of $40,000 to meet all requirements. Of this amount $15,000 were required i'or running expenses for the year. To this should be added $10,000 to meet payments on account of debentures, so that there remained but $15,000 for expenditures upou public works, and of this about $2000 were expended upou waterworks maintenance. He then went over the four bylaws and claimed that the amounts set out in each were required. Alderman Fletcher moved the first reading of the sewers by-law for raising $15,000. It was seconded by Alderman Beer and carried. Alderman Thomson moved the first reading of the waterworks by-]aw for $30,000, which was seconded by Alderman McKillop and carried. Alderman Fletcher -moved the first .reading pf the electric light by-law for $15,000,* wliich was seconded by Alderman Kirkpatrick and carried. When tlie bylaw for raising $5000 for public buildings was brought ,up, alder-, 'man'Beer said that he didhiot consider it advisable to pass the bylaw in its present shape. He did uot consider that $5000 would be enough. If the bylaw called for $15,000 lie would support it cheerfully. Alderman Hillyer, who opposed all the bylaws except that for sewage, expressed the opinion tliat tlio matter of the public buildings bylaw could very well go over ���for tho present year. '��� Alderman .Fletcher, in answer to alderman Beer,-said that-if the electric ~ light bylaw was passed the council could -< supplement the $5000for.public buildings '-' with $2500 but of the general revenue. If it was' found"* tliat'-*thc. amount'" voted would not be sufficient the council need not~ issue the debentures at all. , He added that the passage of the bylaws' would not increase the taxes for the present year one cent, but said nothing of what the increase would be next year. Tlio public buildings bylaw Avas then given its first reading." Alderman Thomson then moved, seconded by Alderman Fletcher, that tlie' V four by-laws bo read a second time. This was agreed to, Alderman Hillyer alone dissenting. * * - The city clerk then 'read .the sewer bylaw.

Alderman Hillyer thought that the question of the terms of the charter should be referred to a committee. Alderman'Beer said that the council might pass upon the question of granting the charter and the terms of the same could be determined afterwards. He asked Doolittle what ho would guarantee in the way of coke works construction.

If his company���'The Economical Gas Company��� Avetfe given a franchise ho said it would be prepared within 00 days to conimenee tlie erection of a coke and gas plaiit and expend anything up to $200,000. The coinpaiiy would, make a Specialty of tlie manufacture of coke, sell such gas as it could, and use its surplus gas in the manufacture of coke instead of using the coke as fuel. A*".-, to the local consumption of coke lie said that the Hall Mines smelter used from 30 to 40 tons per day and if his company secured a franchise this coke could be manufactured iu Nelson and the making of it and the gas would furnish employment for about 25 men. The chief use made of gas at present was for power and heat purposes) and in order that the gas company should not compete Avitli the city's electric light plant, lie was prepared tliat the council should fix the rate to be charged for illuminating purposes. Tlie company would also be prepared to supply the city with, power for generating electricity, Avhieh would absolutely guarantee tlie efficiency of the. city's lighting plant at a price which would represent the actual cost of production of the gas. He asked that the company have two years in which to expend $25,- 000, that the company should supply gas for lighting at $3 per thousand feet, at $2 for power and heating, and $1 for any cent of the company's by Nelson people. Alderman Beer then asked alderman Hillyer if he would incorporate in his resolution for reference to a committee tho words "whereas, it is desirable that a coke and gas plant be established in Nelson if details can be arranged with Dr. Doolittle satisfactorily." Alderman Hillyer replied--that' there' was a standing offer which the council had made to other parties which stipulated that the city should have a percentage of the profits and other things. He had no objection to incorporating the amendment suggested by alderman Beer but he had the terms of the council's former offer iu mind" and would not tie his hand in any way. Tlie resolution Avas then auoptod and the mayor appointed 'alderman Fletcher, Thomson, McKillop and Beer a committee to consider the question of the terms of the franchise. A letter from Macdonald & Johnson was then read, enclosing a draft of a bylaw which they said were the greatest concessions wliich the projected, tramway company was prepared to make from its former application for a franchise. The bylaw wliich was read set out that the company should have an exclusive right to run tram cars on tiny of the city streets, that the overhead trolley system should be used, that when a line was laid upon an unopened street the company bear ono half tho expense of dealing that .street, that except in case of accident the company should not suspend the operation' of its system for more than three' months,, and that in the -event' of such, a susixmsion for< over three .months .except under specified circumC sttinces, the- company's charter should become forfeited.

The council gave the by-law as submitted its first and second; readings aiid decided to consider it in coiiimittee at a mooting to be held at 4 o'clock: tOmorroAV afternoon. Judge Forin, president of the Ivootenay L;ike Genei'al Hospital Society, and F. tyT. Swannell, secretary of the suine, appeared before the council and asked for assistance. Judge Forin, in" an address to tlio council, said tliat it Avas iie"cess.ary that the hospital hiVve a Avomen's AYard. This Avould require itn expenditure Of $2500. The management had practised every economy, but it aviis practically out of funds and the provincial government's grant had been virtually reduced by $1500 per year. He asked that the council ninko a grant of $12 per Aveek tOAVard the maintenance of the hospital and a grant of $500 conditional upon the society raising $2000 for-the purpose of building a avo- men's AArard. If the council did this the society would make the hospital open to the city's charity patients free of cost. F. W. Swannell spoke in support of this grant and sald*that the society had already $000 subscribed toAA^ards the Avoman's hospital Avard extension. Alderman Beer moA^ed, after the matter had been debated for some time, that the council grant $500 conditional upon the society raising $2000 for the A\\ronian's Avard and that a payment of $40 per month be made for maintenance. This AA*as seconded by alderman McKillop and adopted. Alderman McKillop AVas then appointed as the representatiAre of the council upon the hospital board and it Avas decided that the city patients should be admitted upon an order from the mayor and a certificate from the hospital physician.

Tlie arrangements which, he made for the Avoman's remoAral Avill strike most people 'as being rather careless. Tlie pneumonia patient was removed in A*cry scant clothing. It .consisted of a piece of flannel around her chest, an underArest aud a nightshirt.

In this condition' she Avas. brought to the hospital accompanied by Dr. Wilson. He demanded! admittance for the patient, Avhieh Avas refused, as he had no order. The matron telephoned to Dr. Hall asking -what should be done, and as the hospital physician did not kuo\\v tlie nature, of the Avoman's disease, he said she could not be admitted, especially as there Avas 'no room for her in the institution.

The boys will, no doubt, appear to advantage in trousers and coats; but at their best they will not look well bare-headed. The government is probably sndowcd much like the philanthropic old gentleman who established the blue-eoat school in lihigland; the boys who arc admitted to it wear blue coats and go bare-headed.
