Si | do not desire to prolong with ) Mr. Joo. Stumbles, or with anyone so ther- I ughly. unacquainted with the Queen’s | Enelish, as to be unable to understaxd the meaning ef a simple sentence, Mr. Stam- bles writes on the 8th inst.:—

oe

sin,—TIn reference to an article in your issue of 7th inst., signed by John Kvans, the | public, without examining the premises, would be led to the belief that my workshop and his Warehouse were separate buildings, which is

4 , Nol LHe case,

None but an idiot could take such a meaning from my letter, Which referred tothe matter thus:

*‘Str,--I beg to state that my warehouse was directly under Mr. Stumbles’ workshop, the entrance to which was on the same flat-as that vecupied by me.

Both in the press and on the street Mr. Stumbles shows himself an adept in insinua- | { challenge him to put in plain lan- guage the impression he tries to leave with the public. From Mr. Stumbles’ letter of the 8th inst., he appears to know ‘‘ where the fire originated.’ | think, sir, it is due to & comparative stranger m your midst that the authorities should take the matter in hand and institute a thorough investiga- tion as to the origin of the fire, in which case I will guarantee them every possible assistance on the part of mry employes and myself in perfecting their decision. As to whether there was or was not $300 worth of goods in my warehouse which was not insured, 18 a question of no importance to the matter at issue. Still, my statement was correct, and anyone ia my line of business would soon assure you that con- siderable over $300 worth of goods could be very conveniently stowed in any buriding of the same dimensions. Hoping that the proper authorities will now take the matter of an investigation promptly in hand, { remain, Yours, ete., Joun Evans.

Views of Councillor Curtis.

Sir,-—-For the information of the electors of Ward One and the citizens in general, | beg leave to state iny views on the Water- works question.

First, in regard to the works, I think that they should be built and owned by the city ; and then, whatever profits there would be, the citizens would have the bene- tit ot them. Since being elected for Ward One a company has been formed, tenders called for, stock taken by some of the citi- zens to carry on the works, but it appears nothing has been‘done or is likely to be done unless the citizens build it themselves.

In regard to sewerage, my opinion was that it was such a heavy undertaking that the taxpayers could not bear it; but since seeing the sewer dug from the Dominion Building to the Hillsborough River, at a very small cost, my views are changed in regard to the cost of sewerage, and I don’t think the cost would be amything what it was supposed it would be; and if con- structed by the city they could have such sewers as would be required to be built out of the profits of the waterworks and not out of the taxpayers.

But should the electors of Ward One be satisfied for a company to build the works, and they think it for their best ‘interest that a company should build them, I will, if elected, act upon their advice,

in all other civic matters I shall go for keeping down taxation, and work for the best interests of the city.

I remain, Yours, ete., James CURTIS.

Waterwerks.

Srr,—The electors in Ward One have anxiously looked since Thursday for Coun- cillor Curtis’ views on Waterworks, before promising to’ support Mr. Small. Friday passed and Saturday passed without the desired information. Such procrastination on the part of a City Councillor, in such an important matter, does not augur well for his promptness in civic affairs. See to it, Mr. Curtis, that you give a satisfactory solution of the water ditticulty before the day of election, or woe betide you.

Yours, A Warp Ove Exzcror.
