INSP. BEVftN'S SALARY. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE IN TROUBLE AS TO ITS PAYMENT. Strong Appeals Kade for a Bonus for the lUnsfleldrerrr-TneOty Auditors to Look lite W. B.

ClolTi Charges and Report The finance committee met last ntght Srtth Aid. Greene (chairman). Stewart, Jamlesotv Cook, Lauzon. Forde1. Starrs and Enrujht present.

One Item on the Ust was ISO on account to Mr. Bevans. I the Inspector of the granite paring. Aid. Laucon and Starrs kicked against this as ft was not known what he had done.

Possibly the paving would never to an. Aid. Stewart thought it was authorized by the board of works. Aid. Jamieeon considered the finance committee should not pay everything the board of works pat in or they would never stop, i Aid.

Cook thought' the engineer had hired this man and he must be paid. If Mr. Bevans had not been, engaged 'at once he might have lost some other good Job. It. the accounts also appeared some MX) for work In preparation tor the per- manent paving.

The, question; came up K3 to what account this amount 'should to paid out of. Aid. Starrs said that Inspector Bevans' account was in this and was the most flaring. It was paying a man for something he had not done. The laborers In some shape must get their pay but outside of that nothing should be paid.

If Mr. Bevans was an inspector for asphalt he could not have wages due him before the work started. I Slightly personal. Aid. Cook thought criticizing the board Of works was a gross piece' of- Impertinence.

I Aid. Lauzon thought Aid. Cook had too much tongue and would change bis mind twenty-four times in an evening. tt was suggested by Aid. Greene that the men should be paid and the question of whether the amounts should be paid by the board of works' or the paving blaw should be left to the city solicitor.

Aid. Lauzon was only willing to pay Mr. Bevans' account when the work began. Aid. Stewart We have nojhlng to do with what the board of works do.

We have to deal with finances. i 'Aid. Starrs Then the question of MO or XVA is of no account and is not a question of finances. They might as well have charged tt.OOt. 1 Aid.

Stewart maintained that, the money must be paid as the man was hired. Aid. Starrs Tou want to pay that and know what account to charge It to. I look on Mr. Bevans as an expert to look after certain work that he certainly cannot look after until the work begins.

i -i i A vote was then taken and Bevans account got a hoist until the next meeting of the finance committee Aid. Jam-' teson. Lauzon. Forde, and Starrs voting for this and Cook, Enrlght and Stewart against. City Solicitor MacTavlsh sent in a bill tor SilT.26 expenses for the last Bix months in legal cases.

The police commissioners wrote sug- )getlng the reduction of the: livery stables licenses from 26 to J10. Aid. Greene said that tt.is meant a re- fund to those who had paid, i Aid. Cook did not -think' there were more than 20 licensed livertes.but that would' mean SSM of a loss. There was no doubt of a great falling oft in receipts to these men.

Aid. Greene would like to see the reduction made but it was a dangerous thing to interfere with the estimates. It was decided to recommend the reduction asked for next year. 1 i The premium on an insurance policy of $2,600 on the exhibition buildings is about becoming due and it was decided to leave It in the Union. Aid.

Greene brought up the request of various townships on the Gatlneau side of the river asking, for 700 bonus to the Mansfield ferry to the Gatlneau Point. Another large petition was sent in from Ottawa citizens of Lower town backing up the previous petition. Aid. Cook moved, seconded by Aid.1 Stars, that, the prayer of the petitions be recommended to the council and that 1700 be granted to Mr. Mansfield.

Aid. Cook felt sure there had been a great diversion of trade to Hull, and he had made enquiries from ex-Mayor Blr-kett and others. i i Aid. Starrs while 'suggesting the motion, thought that TOO was very low In consideration of Mr. Mansfield reducing his fare by one-half.

Aid. Payment, who was present, said that 1700 would be' taken. I. Must Be'By Aid. Greene said It was a nice thing, but it was questionable whether they could make such an expenditure.

It was a matter that must- be done by a vote of the citizens, as that was the regular way of granting a bonus." Aid. Cook-MThen caU it a grant and not a bonus." Aid. Greene maintained that this did not come in the category Of ordinary expenditures, or it was not such a thing as was specially allowed. Aid. Lauzon "Then what about a grant to the carnival i Aid.

Greene "That was for street lighting." Aid. Stewart "And the chairman placed himself on record as against this grant." The motion was then put. Teas Aid. Forde, Lauzon. Cook, -Starr: Nays Aid.

Enright. Stewart, Jamlcson. Greene. The chairman voting lest the motion and the 1700 grant will net be recommended. A petition was' read from the Chll-' dren's Hospital asking for a grant.

This a hoist to next, year, when the estimates for next year are struck. Alex. McLean's plea for help to get to England came up and was put back. Aid. Lauzon was willing to clip in a 1 Mil Aid.

Starrs and Forde would like to see the old man allowed to go home to die. They moved that the mayor grant him J20 to buy a ticket to send him home. i i- This motion was defeated. Mr, W. 'H.

Chalker. collector of street sprinkling rates, asked for his car fares to be paid as a means of saving time. The matter was; referred to the waterworks committee, the aldermen present stating that something should be done for him. The Civic Audit. Aid.

Greene brought up again the ques- tlnn' of: recommending an audit of books which had been left out of the last report for further consideration. Aid. Stewart said the city solicitor's instruct (mm were that the amount shcliid be paid out of the contlngentjund. What was in this Aid. Greene figured it out as J4.000.

as HMO bad already been paid. THE EVENING JOCRNAL FRIDAY JUNE 28 1835 Aid. Cook was not! present at the last meeting, and IX he had been would certainly have advised and supported the idea of having the present auditors give a report i On motion it was decided that the aud itors be requested to report on charges made in. The Journal by ex-Aid. Clufr and that the matter, be then discussed, AT THE SAWDUST, The Senate Takes Another Tom at the Government Extension of Time to the Mat- Owners.

1 1 j. In. the Senate yesterday Hon. Mr. Clemow resumed the debate oni the gov ernment bill to give i the lumber mills two years' mare time for discharging sawdust into the Ottawa.

The speech of the senator from Ottawa lasted nearly all 'evening and was a resume--of the evidence I adduced before the Senate at various times since he first brought the 'matter up in to show that- the sawdust deposits from the ChaudUre mills is ruining tne Ottawa river. He said that if the propo sition on the present bill for Ithe delay or two years had been made at tne out set tt would have been perfectly satisfactory so far as' the Ottawa river was concerned. He felt sure, however, that the Chaudlere lumbermen were not In earnest and had no, intention: of burn ing their sawdust' unless forced to do so. He realized that unless he succeed ed now in securing a promise: that this nuisance would be stopped i that the dumping would go! on until the bed of the river was so choked that it mlgnt become available for a railway track. Judge Gowan agreed that the Chau dlere lumbermen' had ample notice, even before thei bill of last ses sion became law.

It was in his opinion a marvellous concession that the government should release the lumbermen from the penalties incurred, by them fox infractions of the! statute preventing them from discharging refuse into the river. In his mind a question whether the government was not interfering with Justice In remitting penalties in this matter. He regretted to have to say that unless the government gave some pledge' regarding the Ottawa, he must vote against the bill. The. debate was again adjourned.

this time until Tuesday Senator Scott having floor. j- i (' SAVED BY ABRAVE GIRL. Daring Rescues of Three Drowning Persons. Few more gallant feats have ever been performed, by women than that of Miss Evans, the daughter of Dr. Evans, of Hythe, of Southampton Water.

Walking on the pier with a friend, she heard the cry of three persons whose boat, had been capsized near the' pier. Running down the steps, she sprang into the water, and soon brought the one nearest, a woman, safely to the steps. Then she swam oft again to the others, a man and a girl. Waiting her1 opportunity, she "managed to seize them and supported them until a rope was thrown to her, and she was then able to get the man to the pier. The girl was going down for the third time, when: Miss Ewuna dived, brought her up to the surface, i and took her also to the pter.

thus saving three lives. It is difficult 'to knew which Is the more remarkable the courage displayed, or the skill with which, hampered by her clothes, she succeeded in avoiding the drowning grip that is so often fatal to those who attempt rescues, and so brought the three persons, one. after another, in safety tothe pier, ilt Is a feat of which the best male swimmer, unhampered by would have right to leel most proud, and, executed as it was by a' young lady, was almqpt. If not quite, without precedent In the annals of deeds requiring presence of mind, skill and courage. It is indeed ''extraordinary that a swimmer, however strong, -should be able to support at once two drowning persons and to avoid being caught in the grip of one or the other of them.

Never was Royal Humane Society's medal better and there can be little doubt that the act will receive the highest mark of distinction at the society's disposal. London Standard.

'if flaladorous Nuisances. Editor Journal: I am a resident of Slater between Elgin and Metcalfe, and I write to complain, of the disgusting emanations from the too numerous horse stables in the neighborhood. These stifling hot nights we are wont to resort to the outside oft the house for a breath of fresh air, but really we might as well sit in a horse stable. There are seven large stables within pistol shot one of them is very offensive. The dump, where it is pitched out of a window looking on Slater street, frequently reaches the third story of the building, and the mark is there to speak for Itself.
