Phe Northern Light.
To thé’Editor of the Examiner : |
Sik,—If I am correctly informed, the ability to perform @ daily mail service with the Main- lend has been conceded in the fact that on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays the Northern Light is to wait at Pictou until 1 or 1.30 pi"m., so as to bring those days’ mails for the Island. Now, if itis perfectly safe (and it is the question of safety which has been raised most) for the steamer to leave Pictou on the afternoons of those days, then it is safe to leave at-the same time on Mondays, Wednes- days and Saturdays, and so make round trips daily. It shows that it has not been the in- ability to make the round trips, but the un- willingness of the suthorities, and if you will continue to expose the absurdity of the present tri-weekly arrangement, We cannot fail to se- cure daily mails im any ordinary weather.
Yours, etc., Jan. 14, 1878.
[Wx fear our correspondent has not been correttly informed. If he were, our mails and passengers would not (as they do now) rest im*Pictou 22, 44 and 63 hours respec- tively during each week. But the ability of the Northern Light to perform a daily trip, though not conceded in the manner indicated by our correspondent, has been clearly proved by her performances during the stormy weather of the week before last. It will ‘be remembered that she promptly made up the time lost during the height of gale, despite the stormy days” which fol- lowed... Our correspondent hits square upon the truth when he alludes to the ‘‘unwillingless of the authorities.” An ‘‘un- willing Government,” and ‘ unwilling offi- cials” —there’s the rub. —Epitor Ex- AMINER. |
Sin :—As the prevailing disposition of the eitizens is to tind fault with the City Council, I will diverge from this rule, and give them beth credit and thanks for the very nice accommodations made by them at Spring ‘Park for the use of the City. Until recently it was a hardship, and a very great loss dm time, to get water from that ancient two-story pump, that might be heard a distance of a quarter of a mile wheesing at every stroke, fulfilling the old adage pump opeink, or pump or freeze, besides wang for your turn, sometimes for from @ half to an hour. The whole of this nuisance is removed by the new arrange- ment. All you have to do is to drive up your grey nag until you get your puncheon’s mouth under the pipe, pull a rope, and down comes the water into the puncheon or cask, and, in a minute or two, your cask is full, and you go, to leave rqom fpr your neighbor ta fill his cask. |
yho will deny that the Council has done a good action, when they ordered that Spring Park arrangement? Now, since they have done so far in the right way, can they not say, as Sam Slick did, when looking at the Niagara Falls, he asked ‘‘ if there could not be a good large faetory that would beat the English” built under the fall ; and could not Spring Park Water be made to serve more purposes than for house use. Could there not be a tower built to ellevate the} water, to connect with a pipe Ivading to a reservoir, so that in caseof fire a supply of water would be on hand? What say you,
