needing large supplies of manure, every one must admit that to throw away larg: of the best manure would be

supplies wasteful. Manure is money for our far mers. No one would think of casting

money into the harbor. Nor should we think of such a disposal of our sewage unti it has been found that it will not pay to put it within reach of our farmers, or thai our farmers will not take it at a price suffi cient to indemnify the corporation in the cost of putting it within their reach,

It will have been noted that Colonel Waring says that it will, in any case, be necessary to have @ pumping apparatus to convey the sewage away from the flat lands in the east and west of the town. Thur there will necessarily be, besides the capi tal cost of the proposed system of sewer- age, a considerable yearly expenditure An engine snd boiler and steam pump. and an engineer and fireman must, in any case, be employed. Would it not be well to pay a little more and have the sewage conveyed where itcan be used upon our farms than to pay 4 little less and have it conveyed to the head of Queen’s Wharf, whence it will be drawn into the harbor ? We have little doubt that the difference in cost of transportation would be more than made up by the use of the sewage for agricultural purposes. Suppose a ‘** sewage farm" were obtsined within say two or three miles of the city, and the sewage drawn tu it~a part of the manure might at once be applied to the land and crops, and soother part might be prepared for sale to the neighboring farmers, at a reasonable price. If ths could be done there would probably be some profit from the farm, while the amount obtained by the sale of manure would go to defray the cost of pumping.

It has been suggested that if this system of pumping the sewage bo adopted, the corporation would do well to obtain plant for lighting the city by electricity—the boiler performing the two services of pumping the Those

Colenel Waring estimates that the cost of the sewers and pumping apparatus will be about $150,000. The interest on this amount, at 4 per cent., is $6,000. It is stated that the pumping can be done for $1,000 a year. Suppose that it should cost $2,000,-—-the total yearly expenditure in connection with sewerage will be $8,000 As soon as the sewers are open, there will, of course, be numerous applications for water-closets, baths, and additional taps. lt is not unreasonable to assume that the revenue of the Water Commissioners would thus be increased by an amount almost if not quite equal to the yearly ccst of the proposed sewerage.

The sewerage question is a large and im- portant one for the city. We trust that it will be prudently dealt with by the City Council. A right beginning has been made in the employment of Colonel Waring. The Colonel has, we learn, been engaged to pre- pare plans, specifications and estimates for

SEWERAGE FOR THE CITY. Colonel Waring’s Views

AND SUGGESTIONS.

er

Tue City Counci! met in committee on Saturday, all the members being present,to hear « report ond i1eceive information as to the expense of a system of sewerage fer the city ot Charlottetown, C 1. Geo. Waring, sanitary engineer, who has been here for the past weck taking yns and looking into the matter, spoke cf several systems of srewevage. First, the pumping of allon to a sewage farm. This sys em was found much more expensive than the system of placing a reservoir som where in the vicinity of Queen’s Wharf, and having

ll sewers in the centre of the town flow into it by gravitation. The sewage of the east and west of the cily on fist lowlands would, however, have to be pumped into the reservoir ; this reservuir to have a pipe from it along the bottom of the river to the channel and emptied on the outgoing of the tide, say one hour afcer the tide be- gins to go out, thus having all matter go right out the harbor with the tide.

The tank or reservoir will be capable of holding from three to four hundred thou- sand gallons, considered amp y large for all the sewerage coming between tides. Cul Waring says that no odor of any kind that would be objectionable to the people would come from the reservoir, the engive and pump used forthe pumping of the sewer age would be in the same building the tank would be in, and ventilation from the reservoir by the chimney used for the steam boiler. Atevery emptying of the reser- voir, the sides would be washed down with hose, thus keeping it clean and not allow- ing any matterto dec:y. The bottom of

observati

this tank would be about’ the low water leve'. The total cost of this whole system cf sewerage,

so Ovl. Waring says, on the bas's of wages, ete., paid in other countries, wou!d reach $150,000, and he says that as our s+] is easily handled, no rocks or quicksand to contend with, the cost would be materially less. Col. Waring alto reccmmends that, as our streets are a hundred feet wide, a pipe be put down tww feet from the pro- perty line on each side, thus seving the laying of fifty feet of pipe from each build- wg to the centre of the street, In this wey a saving would bs: mide, Our streets of leas than a hundred feet wide would only have One sewer in the centre,

The watch which accummpanied the ad- dress is of solid gold, beautifully chased, and bears on the outside case the mono- gram of the recipient. On the inside case is the inscription, *‘D. H. Macgowan, from

brother cflicers and friends. Charlotte- town, Prince Edward Island, October, 1892.” The watch was supp ied by Mr. E.

W. Taylor, watchmaker and jeweller.

Mr. Macgowan made a short and feeling reply to the address, thanking his brother officers and friends for their kindness in presenting him with the address and watch, and for their presence around the festal board on the occasion. He also referred to the good feeling that had always existed between himself and the other officials on the road, and said that it was with the greatest regret that he parted from them He did not consider, however, that the railway officials in this Province received the justic: they should in the matter of sslaries—they not being paid as well as their brother officers on the Intercolonial— and his main reason for going abroad was that he thought he could do better there than here.

A Sharp, Jobn McPherson anil A.A Ryan.

** Successful [sanders Abroad” was then proposed, Mr. Dsniel Davies, jr., formerly of the Isiand Railway, but now of St. Paal, Minn., being cail.d upen to respond. ln reply, Mr. Davies referred to some Is- landers in St. Paul, and said that no mat- ter where the Jslander’s lut was cast he was always ble tu keep up with the best of them. He and Mr. Maecguwan had been school mates together, and both worked on the same railway for years. They had always been the best of friends, and he wished him every success in his new home.

“ The Press” was next honored, Hon. D. Laird, of the Patriot, and H. McInnis, of THe Examiner, responding. They spoke of the many good qualities possessed by Mr. Macgowan, and of the satisfactory manner in which he had always discharged his duties as conductor on the Island rail- way. In his departure they thought the railway lost one of its best cflicials. Mr. Macgowan had the best wishes of the press for success in the land of his adeption.

‘The Parliament of Canada” was respond- sd to by Willism Welsh, M. P., and the **Local Legislature” by A. B. Warburton, M. P. P , and ex-Speaker Blake. All three spoke highly of Mr. Macgowan, and regretted that he was about to leave the Province. Io his departare the railway lost a most eftivient
