Wilikns makes the announcement he has decided to use the monoplane which carried him across the North Pole in April last when he starts on his trip to cross the South Pole. The alterations and improvements which are being made to the premises of Thomas Austin at the corner of George street and Third avenue formed the chief topic of discussion at the meeting of the city council on Monday evening. So far. the work has been proceeding without the permit required under the city bylaw. The adermen are very much in the dark as to what the owner intends to do. Some time ago he filed a set of plans which outlined his intentions at the time, but the drawings were not supplemented with anything in the nature of specifications and it was impossible to decide whether the alterations and improvements were to be carried out in accordance with the terms of the bylaw. As a result the council withheld the necessary permit, but the work has been proceeding as usual. At the meeting on Monday night it was decided to compel Mr. Austin to comply with all requirments for the issuing of a permit, failing which steps will be taken to stop the work and a prosecution will be started under the provisions of the bylaw. So that the city will have better control in connection with the issuance of permits it was decided to take the authority for their issuance from the public works committee of the council and to vest it in the chairman of the committee and J. C. McKenzie, city superintendent. The formal resolution notifying Mr. Austin that he will be required to take out a permit for the work he has in hand was moved by Alderman Fraser, seconded by Alderman Reid. The improvements which Mr. Austin is making introduces the first ramp in Prince George building. This is being put in to facilitate the unloading of merchandise, the loaded truck being run up the ramp from the street and the merchandise unloaded on the second floor of the building. Aside from the building1 permit this requires the consent of the council for a crossing of the sidewalk at the ramp entrance. The council decided in this matter to follow the practice of the Vancouver city council and require the execution of an agreement on the part of Austin that while the ramp is being used he will employ a watchman. In the daytime the watchman must have a red flag, and after sundown a �eci light for the protection of traffic on the street. The resolution requir-ng the execution of this agreement before the ramp can be used was moved by Alderman Moffat, seconded by Alderman Wieland. James McLane, of the tourist camp, had a request before the council for municipal assistance in connection with the.providing of bathing facilities or the public at the camp. The tourist camp is growing in favor as a public bathing place and it is suggested considerable improvements could be secured at a very moderate expenditure by the city. On motion of Alderman Opie. seconded by Alderman Fraser, it was decided to refer the request to the health committee for report. The council decided upon motion of Alderman Fraser. seconded by Alderman Reid, to make a grant of $24 to E. Knibb. a volunteer fireman, who was injured in a practice on July 10th, and to pay his bill for medical attention. It was decided to make available to Nechako Lodge, No. 86i A.F. & A.M.. block "I" in the city cemetery for masonic burials. Some further changes were decided upon in connection with the erection of garage buildings. For buildings of more than one story cement floors are required with lath and plaster walls and ceilings. One-story buildings will require cement floors and hard surface walls. In garage buildings no openings will be pennitted from the -garage into the boiler room. Such openings must be secured through the office section or from the outside. On a request for free light in street standards it was decided to give the owners of same the minimum rate of eight cents per kilowatt, but to secure the advantage of this rate the standard light will require to be wired separate from the rest of the buildings and to carry separate meters. The same provisions will apply to overhanging street lamps and to lighted window signs. Toronto, Aug. 1.�Victor R. Cramp, who filled the position of cashier for the Harris abattoir, is under arrest here charged with the theft of $15,000 from his employers.
