DEAN B0VEY AGAINST IT.
The Eminent Canadian Opposes the NJ.
O. Gas Scheme In Montreal.

While in Washington recently DR..
Henry F. Boyey, dean of McGili uni
versity, Montreal, said in the course
of discussion Of the proposed opera
ton Of the Montreal gas works by the
municipality:
Il am Of course opposed to any such
proposition. Any one who under
stands the engineering aspects of such
plan can readily see that to turn
over a lighting undertaking to munich
pal authorities would be equivalent to
making it a tool of politicians who
would not operate for the good of any
one but themselves. In your own coun-
try the experience of Philadelphia
should be enough to make any city
hesitate on embarking in an enter
prise calling for a large number of
minor employees who would be nothing
but political appointees and chosen be-
cause Of their allegiance to the party
in power.
From the standpoint of economy
any one can see that it is more costly
for city t. operate its lighting plant
than for individuals who have been
trained in their respective departments
for years and whose tenure of Office
doesn't depend on political exigencies"

"Hiqh Altitude" Parties.

The latest fad of the fashionable
crowd which yearly iocks at this time
of the year to cool and delightful Swift
zerland Is high altitude dinners and
luncheon parties" The fashion was
first set by Prince Pie of Savoy. who
entertained the Prince and Princess
Nicholas of Greece at height of
5.515 feet at the Bernina hospice, st.
MortZ. The fad quickly took on, and
soon parties were arranged to take
place on the topmast peaks of the Pi-
latus at Lucerne. the Rochers de Naye
at MontreuX and the Rothborn at
Thun, but the most venturesome of all
was that arranged by Mr.. and Mrs.

Of the gigantic tasks of modern times,
says jamestown dispatch to the New

of about 1900 piles, considerably over
mile of sea wall, about 100000 yards
of fill and about $50 yards of dredging.
The pier is a double one, incloSing a
water basis Of 1,2s0,OOO square feet.
Its feature Is $50 foot re-enforced
concrete arch at the outer end. This

In order to place this arch more than
200 piles were driven in each abut-
ment and the concrete placed nine feet
below the water line in two large cOf-
ferdams.
Fourteen pile driving machines were
used in the pile driving. Nine dredg-
