The editor of the Avaminer has by this time, no doubt, found that not only will men venture their lives on a dangerous railroad rather than complain at the risk of losing their situations, hut that some employes on it will actually lie outrageously in order to deceive the public as to its real condition.- -Patriot,

Sept. 4.

We have no doubt the Patriot states that which he believes to be true-—as per- persons, often act from mean and selfish motives ; but we would be sorry to suppose that any such persons were in the service of }the Prince Edward Island Railway— there is no such evidence.

cn ont >a wide A sor? time since we had information that lobsters in tins, from this Island, were being discharged in London, of very infer- ior quality, or “‘ trash,” although labelled with well known brands. We were not, at the time, in possession of the name of the shippers; and would, probably, not have cared to divulge it if we were. Our refer- ence to this matter was made in the inter- ests of the lobster trade, and to prevent a spurious article being sent in the place of / the genuine. It is for those who are in the

trade to profit by the warning given them. MM SS a—-

We are charged with having stated that the evidence adduced in the recent official investigation at the Railway office, was ‘‘sworn evidence.” In point of fact we never said it was. We find, however, that the language we used has produced that impression , and we lose ne time in mak ing the necessary correction. that men who deliberately attached their signatures to a formal statement would have no hesitation in swearing to it. To assume anything else is to regard Mr. Houle and his subordinates as among the most unprincipled of scoundrels— whoshould not remain in the important positions they hold a single hour.

We assume

Ir is very gratifying to note that the nominal deficit of the past year has already been very nearly wiped out. It will be remembered that, in anticipation of the new tariff, a very large quantity of goods was entere! before the commencement of the last fiscal year, which otherwise would not have been entered until after the date of that event. Consequently, the deficit of the year before last was $1,300,000 less than it should have been, while the deficit of last year was that amount more than it should have been. But for this, the deficit of last year would really have been little over $300,000— nominally it was $1,700,000. The excess of revenue for July and August this year is nearly suffi- eient to cover this deficit, as shown by the following returns. The receipts for July and August, 1879, were as follows :—

With only one sixth of the year gone, the increase for 1880 is $1,437,341, or within $255,786.74 of the nominal deficit of 1879. To that we have again an expending reve- nue. Prosperous times have returned under the new reyvime. If there are no unforseen expenditures, it is evident that at the end of the present year there will again be in the Canadisn Treasury a handsome sur- plus.

in Saturday's Patrit a sharp criticism of the railway management over the signature of ** Fairplay. Fair- slay” asks some very proper questions which I for one would hike to see answered. Sut there is a question which he has not asked to which the public would like to see a reply. ealled for a large number of new that contracts were made with certain par: ties to the westward to supply them, that these parties failed to perform their con- tract and left the railway people in the that the Superintendent was too easy, and failed to prosecute these parties, and make them bring along their sleepers; and that, consequently, the railway is, for the want of them, so much the worse. Is this true ? Yours truly,

ENQUIRER.

[We are authorized by the Superintendent te state that a large number of sleepers was tendered for last spring; that some of the Contractors did fail to supply the sleepers at the time fixed upen; but that sleepers were purchased from other persons to supply the deficiency and keep the road in good order, We are also authorized by the Superinteu dent to say that there has been no reduction in the staff of trackmen; thata great deal of work has been done throughout the summer, and wil! continue to be carried out until win ter sets in. |

The Water Question.

LETTER FROM A CIVIL ENGINEER,

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Str,—The late fire, | am glad to see, has again brought ‘*'The Water Question” before the City Council, and I trust, before the citizens.

The scheme proposed by Mr. Hales, in your edition of Saturday, is one which Mr. Thomas Alley, architect, spoke to to me about, en his return from a tour he made to the United States this summer, visiting. amongst other places, Brooklyn. Mr. Alley spoke very highly of what he saw there; and if feasible here-—that is should there be a sufficient or inexhaustible supply of good water at Quirk’s pump, —would be well to adopt for the lower part of the city. ;

Before going o1 with that or any other scheme, care should be takem to find out, as far as practicable, what what supply could be obtained frem any source, and if Quirks pump, or spring at said pump, be found to yield a sufficiency, I wonid suggest that a circular reservoir be sunk in the ground on the north side of St. Paul’s Church, lined with brick and cemented, and that a tunnel or pipe be laid from Quirk’s pump to it, (so as not to interfere with that spring, as by eXcavating in the same place, the water might be lost altogether). And that an Engine and Pump, with Tower be built adjoining the tank

‘—the tower to be high enough to carry the

water with a suflicient pressure to any part of the city, the boiler chimney to be in the centre of the tower, and an upright stand pipe to be erected alongside of it, the head of pressure 4n the pipe causing the water to flow to any part of the city, and the heat from the chim- ney keeping the water from freezing in the winter. This plan is adopted in St. Petersburg and Riga, in Russia, with great success. But before going into any scheme, proper care should be taken to insure a sufii- cient supply ef good water from any of the places, and to be satisfied on that head, you should know the strata from which the supply is derived.

Counciller Morris’ scheme is a very feasible one, and could be carried out very cheaply, provided there is a good supply.

To build large tanks or reservoirs at Win- ter River or elsewhere is out of the question in this climate.

I hope to see some scheme or other carried out soon. More on this subject anon.
