The city council was engaged yester-
day afternoon in a heated discussion
of the water works question when
number of members of the carnival as
ISOLATION. headed by President Nc
Cowan, made their appearance in the
council chamber. In a few minutes
the faces of the aldermen relaxed and
became good-natured as Mr.. MCGOWAN
addressed them in a request for finan-
cial aid on behalf of the carnival as
ISOLATION. Where division had before
been apparent, there was then unani
nifty and harmony and the members
discussed the question of how best to
serve the carnival. After some con-
veTsation a motion was carried that
the sum of $500 be given to the carnival
association for the purpose of illumi
mating the streets and for other OBJ
jects such as come within the power Of
the council 20 spend money for. The
council viii also give to the carnival
association the proceeds arising from
all street licenses derived during the
progress of the festivities and which
are incidental to all such occasions.

from the visitors and they left the
council chamber in extremely good
humor. The city has, it is generally
conceded, done the right thing by the
carnival association.

to the Consolidated bank with 81. Clair
