The Water Commissioners’ Appli-

cation

AGAIN BEFORE THE COUNCIL BOARD—THE

MONEY GRANTED—THE RECORDER'S OPINION,

Councillor Davison was the only absen- tee from the meeting of City Council called for last evening to receive the Recorder's written opinion on the Water Commission-

ers’ application for a grant of $12,000 to de- After Mayor Haviland had explained the causes

fray the cost of laying service-pipe.

which led to the calling of the meeting,

Recorder Fitzgerald submitted the follow-

ing report :—

I have examined the letter of the Water- From it it appears that the full debenture issue of

works Commissioners referred to me.

$165,000, authorized by the Waterworks Act for the construction of the works, has been

reached, but that mainly through the cost of

service pipe in the city they will require some $12,000 additional to liabilities and to defray the cost of additional service pipe immediately required. It is suggested in it that. the Council join with them in raising this amount by loan at 7 per cent,, such loan to be met by the issue of de- bentures as soon as the local legislature em- *power such further issue. I do not see any necessity for resorting to this mode of raising this money for the follow- ing reasons, especially as the issue of city debentures at their present premium bearing interest at 5 per cent. will effect a saving of over one thousand dollars. Under section 132 of the Act of Incorpora- tion the borrowing power of the city is fixed at five times the amount of the preceding years actually collected assessment. This was $35,000, thus making the borrowing limit $175,000. I find from your City Clerk that the debenture issue of the city is as follows :—

For ordinary expenditure............ $ 92,000

Special debentures under the statutes authorising them................. . 19,800 mehbol Board, 2 iio. oe 37,900 $149,700

Deduct the above special debentures excluded by'the statutes authorising them for calculation is ascertaining

the city s borrowing power........ 19,800

Leaving a balance of...... Perea $129,900

so that the undoubted power now remains in the corporation of issuing additiooal deben- tures to the amount of $45, 100.4 ‘The only possible objection arises in the ap- propriation of money obtained under this issue towards the payment -of any indebted- ness incurred in water construction in excess of $165,000. If, as the Commissioners state, the cost of the service-pipes will be about $13,000, it ap- pears to me doubtful whether the money now asked for comes within the clause limiting the cost of construction, as such service-pipes are not strictly construction, and might fairly be taken to be a necessary expenditure by the city in rendering useful and efficient a water. works system owned by the eity, though con- trolled by commissioners and not by this Council. In view, however, of any such pos- sible doubt, I would advise that the amount asked for be raised by the Corporation under their undoubted ordinary borrowing power, ' and the immediate payment to the Water Commissioners of the amount required; and should it hereafter be deemed advisable ask. ing the Legislature to ratify such payment, and to make such issne an issue under the Waterworks Act, so that the total cost of con- struction and water-pipe service be defrayed a debentures issued under the last-mentioned ct. R. R, Firzceratp, Acting City Recorder. _ After a good deal of discussion the fol- lowing resolution, proposed by Councillor Morris and seconded by Councillor Byrne, was put and carried :—

_ Resolved, That the Mayor is hereby author- ized to issue debentures of the City of Char- lottetown under an Act entitled, ‘*The City ot Charlottetown Incorporation Act” to the amount of $12,000 for civic purposes, such debentures to bear 4 per cent. interest pay- able in 20 years, interest payable half yearly.

Further Resolved, That out of the moneys received from the sale of the above mentioned debentures the Water Commissioners be paid such sums as they shall from time to time re- quire for payment of service pipe now put in and towards completing water service pipes of the city.

The vote stood :—

For— Morris, B rne, Horne, M Mc- Carron, Eden. s : eolae

Against—Taylor, Large, Douse. Councillor Douse gave notice that he would move for a reconsideration of the vote at the next meeting of the Board. Meeting adjourned.

Mr. James McLaren, son of the late Simon McLaren, Rello Bay, and brother of the late Rev. Charles McLaren, of Siam, who has been ona visit to his Island friends, returned last week to New Hampshire, where he is preach- ing under license, during the holidays. He graduates next year,

—Charlottetown is honored to-day by the presence of two of the most tuneful poets of our latter day,—Charles RE. D. Roberts, of King’s College, Windsor, —and William. Sharp, the editor ef the “‘Canterbury Poets,” and biographer of Rossetti. Con- cerning the latter, The Critic, of Halifax, affords the following particulars -—

“He is a graduate of Glasgow University, and is thirty-four years of age, He has trav- elled widely, has lived in Australia and in Italy, and has accomplished an extraordinary amount of literary work. An intimate friend of the late illustrious poet, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, he became the poet’s best biograph-

. er. He has also written a *‘Study of Shelley,” a “Study of Heine,” a ‘Memoir of Philip Bourke Marston,” three romances for boys, two novels (one just published under the title of “Children of To-morrow,” and exciting much interest in London) and a host of magazine articles on literary and art subjects. As editor of the Canterbury Poets ” series he is doing a very valuable work. He is also literary editor of alarge weekly journal. But it is as poet that Mr. Sharp makes the strong- est claim. His volumes of verge are “The Human Inheritance,” “ arth’s Voices” and other poems, and *‘ Romantic Ballads and Poems of Phantasy.” This last volume was all sold out within a week of publication. The London | Academy speaks of its contents as “these ten exquisite poems,” and says, verse of this kind is so exceptional that one can only speak oi it in terms of grateful ape preciation.” Mr. Sharp has overworked him- self, and will rest and. recuperate at Kings} eroft (the residence of Professor Roberts) ‘be-

fore setting out to “do” Canada and the United States.”

Mr. Sharp and Professor Roberts will remain here for two or three days. They

EPLYING to Mr. Fissette’s acceptance of

challenge, 1 would say the $500 is now placed in the hands of E. H. Norton & Co., Commission Merchants, Queen Street, where Mr. Fissette is required to place a similar amount without further delay, after which he will be required to have his Brantford Binder at the Stock Farm on Wednesday, 28th of this month, where the Milwaukee will com- pete with it for the stakes, { choosing the following three disinterested partiés as judges, viz: Alexander McKinnon, Machinist, city; Joseph Tweedy, Gallas Point; and Hon. Alexander Laird, Wilmot Creek ; and Mr. Fissette choosing three good disinterested judges, including one machinist and two good farmers, the following twelve points to be contested for: Ist, lightest draft; 2d, cleanest cutting in all grain; 3d, neatest bundles; 4th, not missing tying bundles; 5th, least wearing gear; 6th, strongest built while lightest in net weight; 7th, simplest knotter and twine gut- ter, and least liable to get out of order; 8th, the frame that is least liable to twist out of true by heavy strain and loose nuts in cutting; 9th, easiest operated by driver in cutting; 10th, the cleanest and best work in laying grain; 11th, the most powerful and lasting way to drive knife, i, e., front cut vs. swaybar; 12th, main drive chain vs. cogs. The Binder which carries the most points out of the 12 above named to take the money, as decided by the judges. Trial to commence at 1 o'clock, or soon as the judges are all on the grounds. The above amount is ready for any other Binder accepting the above conditions same day. If Mr. Fissette accepts the above and pays in the cash he will be taught to tell the truth in this business, and if he wants the names of parties who honght Milwaukees in preference to the Brantford or any other Binders, he will get a list that will gend him back to Ontario a wiser man (without pub- lishing the names of interested agents selling machines.) There are too many agents going throngh the country making statements to farmers they dare not make with their Binders alongside of mine, and 1 wish to have this matter settled once and forever, and I will dare evey agent to accept the above and come out like men. a
