0F CHARLOTTETOWN a

Ladies and Genthnen:

Having been solicited by a large number of the citizens and tax payers of Charlottetown to offer as a candidate for the Mayoralty at the forth coming election, I have consented to offer for the oﬁice and beg t0 solicit your support and influence.

An extended report 0f the past year’s work is now before you. You will observe that we have succeeded to make revenues and expenditures meet and have a balance to the good.

My work at the Council Board is well known to most of the tax payers of the city and I think that I may fairly assume that the result of my work meets with the approval of the majority of the citizens.

Many of my friends believe that I am en- titled to the position on account of my length of service to the city, having servedfor a greater length of time than any member of the Council Board and have performed the duties of my office in a fair and efficient manner since becoming a member of the Council. l

If you do me the honor of election there will be nothing negative with regard to my policy for the forth coming term. I will use every’ effort to promote all and every good work undertaken by the Council for the general welfare and bet- terment of the city. ’ _

Charlottetown has made much progress in civic betterment in the past several years and I believe that Ican claim a fair share of the credit for the progress that has been made. I will be unable to see personally the electors before polling day and rely upon the citizens of_Char- lottetown, Whose sense of fair play and Justice is well known, to rally to my support.

Yours respectfully, ' D. J. RILEY.

(‘l\'|(‘ l'll.l'l("l‘l().\'. Tomorrow candidates for the lVlayoralty and City Councillors will be nominated. Up to the pres- ent little interest has been manifested in the fate of the city, which may be interpreted as signifying that any sins the outgoing government may have to ans- wer for are not of a heinous character. Interest in the Mayoralty contest is no doubt diluted by the fact that the contestants are both in the same boat and, therefore, that men and not-measures are the issue. Mr. D. J. Riley, who opposes the sitting Mayor, has been a member of the Council during the term, as well as of previous councils, being now the oldest sitting lmember: so that the glory when deserved and the blame, if any. for acts of commission or omission will» be shared equally by each.

The retiring council, whether re-elected in whole or in part, has many good acts to its credit and, should misfortune overtake any of its members on election day, no grievous sins can be laid to their charge.

One of the outstanding acts of the retiring coun- cil is the improvement effected in our streets. This will for many years hence be a monument to their credit. True the operation was for the present some- what expensive but in the end, as was the case in the matter of permanent sidewalks, it will prove one of the most beneficial and economical undertakings in the history of the city. The temporary employment provided for city laborers at a time when other labor was not available has been greatly iappreciated and this also goes to the credit of the retiring council. Nevertheless there is always the controversial argu- ment that there is a bett r way and this is why elec- lions are held. ' '

. The weather record for January of the past twenty years, kindly furnished by Hon. Mr. Justice Iiitzgeralti, and given elsewhere in this issue, will be greatly appreciated by the many who are concerned about the duration of zero weather experienced dur- mg the past month. It will be seen that there were twenty days of zero and below in January of this year, the lowest being 18 degrees below. The next longest period was in January’, 1912 whenthere were twelve day's, the lowest being 13 degrees below. Be- fore that. 1904 gfave eleven days, the lowest being l4 tlegrees. On the other hand the average of cold days in January has been very low. For instance in 1906 there was one day of zero when the mercury) registered one degree below, anti one in 1900 at zero. In 1902 there were two zero days; in 1910 there were two days of one below; in 1913 there were two zero

, days the lowest being 5 below. Last year 1919 there

were three days of zero and below, the lowest being 14 below. A marked feature of January this year was the complete absence of the January thaw. It is customary for the weather to freshen after the new year and the melting ofthe snow filled-the fissures and holes in the ice on the rivers and roads, which when refrozen made good highways. Mr. Fitzgerald warns-us that we may expect a continuance of this cold wave for ten days or so and this being the case it is not likely we may expect any considerable im- provement in our winter roads this year as next month we will be looking for thaws, snowstorms and drifting. .

(‘ATFII ING (‘OLD

In these days, or rather nights, of large assem- blages for amusement and entertainment of different varieties, and especially while fears are being nursed of an impending epidemic of influenza, every pre- caution should be taken_ in the matter of sanitation, cleanliness, ventilation, etc.

Dancing parties are held almost nightly. Are the rooms properly ventilated or do the dancers sit in a polluted atmosphere to “cool off” and, overheat- ed, goout into the cold night air? If so the chances are good for a cold. ,

Skating also is one of the favorite pastimes and our rinks are crowded nightly, especially our city rink which has probably the largest attendance of any in the Maritime Provinces. Are the waiting and dressing’ rooms as clean and wholesome as they ought to be or do overheated skaters sit in unsanitary, ill- ventilated rooms, over wet filthy floors? If so the chances here also are good for a dose of pneumonia or influenza or any other disease that may be looking for a victim.

House ventilation also especially of sleeping

are matters which, at times like the present, if strict-
