Although a visit to the operating room of a hospital is not usually counted among the pleasures of life, it was a matter of sante gratification to a representative of The Signal upon a recent visit to Alexandra hospital to note the improvement* which have lately been made in the operating room of that institution and to learn that in this respect, as in others, our local hospital is providing facilities for the treatment of patients in the most efficient and approved manner. The operating ronin has, indeed complete and beautiful little hospital at their disposal.

TO APPOINT ENGINEER. Municipalities, Taking Action to Pro- tect Tbeir Interests, A special meeting of the town coun- cil war held on Friday evening last to consider the question of taking action in the appointment of an engineer by the municipalities interested to make independent estimates of the value of the work done on the electric railway. As matters are at present theengineer of the railway company makes the progress estimates. These are sub- mitted to the Toronto General Trusts Corporation, and on the basis of these estimates the money from the sale of the municipalleoguarentted .honda is paid out to the contractors. This, it u felt. does not safeguard the muol. cipalities, as progress estimates might be made out for larger amounts than proper and the municip•litiee might find themselves in the position of bay- ing to take over a partially completed railway as their only security for a large bond issue. Ali tbe member, n( the council were present at the meeting on Friday and it was decided unanimously to ap- point a committee of Mayor Macklin, Reeve Gall ow and CouncillorsCraigie, Humber and Munningr (who were members of last year a council) to meet representatives of the other municipalities onThnreday. May Jath, o discuss the on, of an engineer. This motion WAS made by Councillors Manning. and Humber. It was also decided to recommend the appointment of J. Grant McGregor as the engineer. Mr. McGregor has been written to in the matter and in- timated that his charge would be $10 a day for the work and that two weeks • month would probably be sufficient for the work, It woe felt that if an engineer were to be ap- pointed at all action must be taken at once, as the railway company was making heavy outlay' for rails, etc., and a large part of the expenditure was likely to he Inatle in the near future. It was also deckled to write to the Trust Company and ask for copies of the progress certificates, the price at which the geor•nteed bonds were sold, whether the company in- teuded to send men to go over the work. who the Huron Construction Company 'is and who the Electric Railway Company is.

Coun- cillor Craigia volunteered the informa- tion that the Tate town pollcitor bad beaked into the matter and had satis- fied himself that ever the amount voted has: Leen spent in right of way. The metier, however, was referred to the finance committee.
