_ Accepted’ Errors_ Of Judgment Leading To Use Of Fur Promotion

The regular monthly meeting of tue city oonneii wee new inet night. ` Mayor Prowse `presided, and all the

Councillors were present.

Alter the regular routine was tran,

saeted, new business was taken up.

His Worship Mayor Prowse thought

the occasion was the proper one on which to.express his appreciation of the honor done him by the citizens of Charlottetown at the late election in placing him in his present high position. He also wished to con- gratulate the citizens on the present council; they _were an evidence-by reason of the fact. that every one of the old councillors who had offer- ed had been reelocted,-that citizens had confidence -in them notwithstand ing the scandals spread about pre vious to the election. He also cou- gratulated the citizens upon thi water commissioners who had been returned, and said he was glad tc see there present Chnirninn Nfcholsni oi the waterivorks commissioners-hc did not remember of having seen ii chairman of that board show enougi. interest to attend the meetings oz the Council. He reminded the Coun cillors that they would huvc u loc o im or.tant work to do. Q trustee

are mnde up. Councillor Rogers, chairman of finance, said he would like to grant these requests, but it could not be done now, and he hoped similar demands would not be pre- sented until the estimates had been compiled and the Council knew. just ho\v matters stood. _ .

In answer to a petition from re-

dents of the vicinity, askingf that the name of the Maipeque Road_ be changed to Elm Avenue, it was re- iolved to ‘grant the prayer of the petition and to have street signs ,rut up in’ accordance therewith.

A request from the Laborers’ Protective Union, that the City Council arrange for a nine-hour day 'or its employees was left with a :ommittee to be dealt with. On motion the City Clerk was in- itructcd to call for tenders for 10,000 feet of 2-inch hemlock p,snk; or lumber to be used in connection .vith the concrete work; for spikes ind nails und for 1200 barrels Port- lnnd cement.

It was moved that the City Sur- /eyor be instructed not to put new ylank sidewalks down in the City unless the same is authorized by the .',‘,ouncil Board.

On motion the City Clerk was in-

that all party, religious and persona niotiveswlwguld be_`e`x'ciurled whex, councillors were conducting the af*

faire of the city, and time they would work in the best interests oi the citizens and of theGity.

Councillors Rogers, Stewart, and

McDonald replied to His Worship's address, and testified to the plen- sure the members of the Board felt having his Worship at their head. They 'were agreed that the Council,

as at present composed, was unani-‘

mous in the desire to work together to produce the best results for the City and for the citizens.

Correspondence was then taken up. With reference to a request from

Salvage Corps for a larger allowance than th_ey at present receive, and also to a letter from the keeper of Victoria Park asking for an increase of salary oi $12.50 PGY month. it was resolved to let same lie on the table until the estimates

utriictcd to advertise for tenders, in ,wo Nova Scotia papers, for 5,000 sons of hard- stone. ' ` ` ` ` A motion was passed authorizing-

the placing of $10,000 more insurance _on the City market building. Itl was pointed out that at present the build- ing was only insuredlfor $15,000 and was worth $60,000, and there was only $3,000 at rest in the market house sinking fund. The tenders of Thomas Sweeney, James Doyle, _and J. Hughes for supplying sand for the City were on motion accepted.

There was -some consideration oi

the advisability of arranging for more commodious and_ direct means of exit from the market building after

which the meeting adiourned.
