Sik,~—Since the Crancil of this city is Miking such an onslaugit amongs¢. the officers, and having fewer to do the work. they will hive to use great caution in thei, choice of new.ones, Chainges of Goverrn~ mentsin P. BE. !sland have always been productive of & host of discharged o“ficers, iu many respects to be replaced by men wholly untit and incapable to take their places—much to the expense of the coun- try.

{t miy seem allright for a goveraing | body to make those exchanges. and “in some cises, probably, it is wholesome to do so. Butto discharge an officer for the simple reason that he is found ia opposi- tion before knowing that his successor will be suitable, is, to say the least, a mistake which goes to adda greater debt on the city or government.

Now, as our City Council his discharged some Offiters, ani muy dischirge mre it may be well to enquire, lst, Hive those officers the necessary quiiilications? 2ad. Can there be got those who are better qu tlified to discharge the duties devolving upon them? Now, for instance, until very recently there were an Enzincer and City Surveyor, those ofticers did not or could not doall the work, for we find an out sider drawing plans and specifications for the Bell Tower and the various other buildings erected by the city, and another maaan setas inspector over the fences on the squares. This arrangement must cer- tainly cost a good deal more money than there is any occassion for. The City Sur veyor should be able to furnish plains. specifications and estimates of all the pub lic works connected with tha city. A re port of the public works should be mide at least once a month; that report to in. clude proposed improvements to streets, the best and mo:t efficient way to do the work ; also where plank si lings are wante |, and what the cost would probably’be. The above and many other things coming under the superintendence of the City Surveyor should be mide in adyanee ot the work being done, so that the Councii would know exactly where and how to piace the money. As it is now, those gen-~ tlemen who are “told” off from the City Council as « Street Committee. go forth without pay to lose their time for the pur- pose of showing the City Engineer what to do. This I consider is put- ting the wrong end foremo-t. That Com- mittee should act on the Surveyor report, and ascertain how much of said report could be complied with. The citizens of Charlottetown cannot expect that ihe Council can always work for nothing, an‘ as the Frenchman onae said * eat himself’ fboard himseif}]. Better. by far, hive one efficient officer who can do al the work. suppose that the city has to pay something more. It may ba that the Council are do- ing the very best they cin do undor the ircumstances; ant to°miks mach reform may be tedious. But reform is wante tif it will lighten the burden of the city, or give them more volus for the taxes they pty

ene. A FIRE AND ATR

AGEDY,

ONE PERSON BURNED TO DEATH—TWO OTHERS FATALLY INJURED,

Montegat, Nov. 2.—At one o'clock this morning the inbabitants of St. Alexander Street, in the heart of the city were awake~ ened by the wild shrieks of a woman. A young girl, named Mary Burke, the daugh ter of a boarding house keeper, was seen standing at a second story window giving vent to frantic cries of tire. There was considerable delay in sounding the alarm. and it wasfully 15 or 20 miautes before the fire brigade arrived, In the meantime Miss Burke had taken aleap fur life, and | felling some twenty feet below to tha sides | walk, sustained serious if not fata! iwjus | jries. Oathe arrival of the firemea, they bravely entered the house at the risk of their lives. The dead body of a boarder named Christian Ramoussan, a Dane. was foundin a closet, the door of which. it is supposed, he mistook for the exit tothe ha:l. On further search, Ma op Burke, aged 16 years.son of the owner of the! house, was discovered in an almost lifeless state from the effects of smoke. He was

'

conscious state since, but it is hoped he | will soon recover. The inmates on the | first floor escaped without difficuity. The) origin of the fire is supposed io have been | rats eating matches.
