On motion of Ald. Gaskin seconded by Ald. Robinson

Ordered That this Council has learned with deep regret
of the death of Mr Wm Nickle one of Kingstons oldest and most
respected residents; that in his demise this City has lost a gentleman
who was among the foremost in aiding and encouraging any
enterprise that was for the benefit of Kingston as witness his
having been a large shareholder in the Montreal Transportation
Company, Saint Laurence River Navigation Company, The Kingston and
Pembroke Railway Company, The Kingston Foundry, The Cotton
Mill all of which have been stimulated by his recognition
both in spirit and in tangible form; that while he was a man who
attended carefully to business he did not neglect his higher
duties towards man and his maker, many in Kingston has

felt.
