perty of the citizens against loss by fire, at no cost to the latter; on the ec mitrary, they institutions, established for and,
are business
the purpose of making money;
if through the ineflicieacy of the means for preventing or suppressing fires, they incur extra risk or loss, the cost of that extra risk and the loss, must be made up out of the citizens’
pockets in the shape of high premiums, By providing a thoroughly efficient Fire Department there would be not only a con- sideradle gain in the shape of reduced premiums, but the risk would be avoided of exposing numbers of citizens to the dangers and terrors of the devouring ele- ment, as well as of being rendered house less and homeless, and consequently wholly unpro‘ected from the intense cold and pitiless torms of our rigorous winters.
~ The Committee have been in correspond- ence with the Waterous Engine Company, of Brantford, Ontario, W. D. Andrews &
Bros., (Engineers of the Driven Well system) of New York, Gilbert Murdock, Eaq., of St. John, N. B., and R. H.
Buchanan & Co.,of Montreal. As _ repre- senting the last named firm, Mr. William Perry, Jr., visited the city afew days since. He had an interview with the committee and before leaving made two proposals in writing for supplying and distributing water to the most important points of the city.
The first scheme or proposal is to erect in connection with the ‘‘ well” known as (Juirk’s pump, a stationary pumping engine of sufficient capacity. The pumping engive to be connected with the well by a ten inch suction pipe, and with mains and hydrants laid in thea streets as follows; Along Grafton street, from Prince to Queen's,’ an eight inch main. Six inch mains the whole length of Queen’s and Prince streets; with branches along Kent, from Prince to Weyraouth, and from Queen's to Rechford, aiso, along Sidney from Prince to Weymou:h, and along Dor- chester from Queen's to Haviland, in all about 10,000 feet of mains. One two bravehed frost-proof hydrant would be placed at each cross strest, in all twenty- six in number. Each hydrant is capable of discharging about 400 vallons of water per minute upon any part of the block adjacent toit. The outlying districts could be reached by the fire engines connecting with the hydraats, so that while under this scheme the proposed works do not extend over the whole city, yet, all of the prop- erty would be within reach cf a plentifal supply of water, with the exception of that situated in the distant parts of the common.
With such works in operation here, there could be had within ten or fifteen minutes,
after an alarm of fire, sufficient pressure |therahead than when we started.

Dear Str,—In reference to cur conver- sation regarding Waterworks we submit as follows :—
We ask the town council of Charlottetown, P. E. L., to grant us the right of way through the streets of your town to lay water pipes for the supply of water from Winter River or Gates’ Brook for household use and fire pro- tection; and as we will place from 60 to 70 hydrants, we ask them to take 50 hydrants at 350 each from us. And should they consent so to do, we will include the present contract offered you to-day in said W. W. system, and allow you the same amount as paid later on, we can go more into detail. And should we be favored with the above, we will go into the matter to your Committee’s entire satis- faction.
And remain, Dear Sir, Very truly yours, W. Perry, JR., For R. H. Buchanan & Co.
Mr. Curtis said we were not much fur- We all
four. OF/ know, he said, we want water ; but where five streams of water to a height of sixty or| js the money to conie from.
He would like
seventy feet, without the aid of the fire} the gentlemen, besides showing how to get
engines. The fireman’s first duty would be to run with the hose reel, attach the hose to the hydrant and pour on the fire.
At asmall expense, steam could be kept up at alltimes during the summer months, and the principal streets watered every morning 30 as to lay the dust, which would add very materially to the comfort of the citizens.
The reliability of such works is assured by the fact that several cities in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have recently erected extensive works for both household and fire service, on this plan. It is known as the Holly system, and is in successful operation in many large cities, both in Canada and the United States.
The cost of this work, exclusive of engine house and land, is $13,855—(Tender mark- ed A) for the whole say $15,000—which at 6 per cent. is $900 a year. To this must be added the expense of running the engine and pumps and also repairs, altogether a trifling expense compared with the benefit to be derived.
The other scheme is contained ia an offer (see it annexed marked B.) from the same tirm—Messrs. R. H. Buchanan & Co., to bring in the water at their own expense, either from Winter River or Gates’ Brook, and distribute it by weans of ivon pipes throughout the city, on condition that the Corporation agrees to take from them fifty hydrants for fire purposes, as described above, at $50 each per annum.
Thus, without any risk or further ex- peose than $2,500 a year, there would be an effective water supply (the pressure being constant at the hydrants), available at ali times, and with the aid of the steam fire engines, in all parts of the city for fre suppression. As giving the largest supply of water and at the same time being in the
Water, to show how to get the money to pay for it.
Vorce—Save it in insurance.
Mr. Curtis eaid he had no confidence in the saving by insurance. If we are to have a saving by insurance let the agents come forward and state what reduction they will make and then we will know where we are standing. He also knew that if Waterworks were introduced we would have to get a system of sewrage, which would be very expensive.
Hox. D. Larry thought that insurance agents should give their views on the mat- ter.
F. T. Newsery, Esq., said he came as a citizen and wished to hear the views of the meeting. He was of opinion that unless waterworks were introduced insurance would be raised. He was not speaking for insurance companies but if the meeting wanted the opinion of the insurance com- panies he would support a committee from the board of underwriters to report to the meeting on the matter,
Mr. P. R. Bowers moved that the re- port be published in order that the public may be enabled to give it better considera- tion.
Dr. Jenkins seconded the motion.
Henry Rackuam, Esg., agreed with the report of the comamittee, but ke thought that the committee might have stated the cest of water per family. If the price was reasonable he did not think anyone would object. He thought the last proposal of R. H. Buchannan & Co., the best. He was not altogether in favor of waterworks, but believed that the time had arrived whea we should have a supply of water.
Dr. Jenkins said the committee would endeavor to find out the cost per family in time to lay it before citizens at the next
opinion of your committee the cheapest and most effective, and giving litile or no| trouble to the Fire Department, they re- | commend the adoption of the scheme con- tained in the secoad offer of Messrs. R. H. Buchanan & Co. They feel assured that the cartying out of this scheme would con- tribute very much to the welfare of the citizens, as well as to the protection of their property.
Your Committee cannot conclude their report without expressing their high appreciation of the efforts of the brave men who at considerable sacrifice undertake the protection of the property of the public from fires. A greater interest should be shown by the citizens in the fire brigade, and more encouragement given them as & recognition of their invaluable services.

Deak Stz,—In answer to your enquiries regarding fire appliances for your town, we sult as foliows;—
Vewill lay 9,000 feet of 6 inch cast-iron pipe, and 1,000 feet of 8 inch cast-iron pipe with all the necessary ties as shown on your plan. Where connections are to be made all pipe to have spigot and faucet turned and bored joints, and corked with lead. All pipe to be cated with Smith’s patent tar. Said pipe before being laid to be tested to 500 feet head, and certificate of the same to be given to you from the makers in Scotland, and when laid tobe tested to 130 pounds hydrestatic pressure.
We will place twenty-six double branch hydrants a3 marked o2 plan, or as your Committee may locate.
And when pipe crosses from north, running east of weit, plate ove vkive in all four
meeting.
Dr. Farqunarson, Esq, M. P. P., said that if the committee could also obtain figures on the cost of sewrage they would also be interesting. He also believed that insurance agents should give their views with regard to e@ reduction in insurance if waterworks vwecre i troduced.
The motion of Mr. Bowers was then put and carried and the meeting was adjourned until Thursday evening next, at 8 o'clock.
Canadian History.
The following extract from the report of an address by the Hon. G. W. Ross should be noted :—
‘* Above all thivgs was it necessary that Canadians should study thoroughly the history of their own country. If there was one thing more than another that was studiously avoided im the educational sys- tem of this country it was the study of its history. Even in the Public Schools— those schools of which they were so proud and boasted so much in the Provinee of Ontario—tbhis branch was grievously ne- glected. ‘The children were taught the history of France, of Germany, of Italy, and of other European countries ; they were taught the history of ancient Greece and Rome; but the history of their own country—this fair Canada of ours—which it behooved them all toknow and under stand, was almost totally neglected. It was not soin the United States, Every achoolbeoy and girl was taught something of the life and doings of George Washing- ton and of those other men who had helped to build up the great country to the souzh of us. But how many children in Canadian schools had any acquaintance with the lives of the distinguished men whom Canada had produced! He feared fhe number was amazingly sigall.”

MAY 26, 1884. Tho Tree-planting.
Welt, we have planted our trees ; and no one in particular feels much worse off, while the city has been greatly improv- ed. Indeed the only persons who have reason to be dissatisfied are these who, having the means, lacked the will to plant. These persons will naturally feel dissatisfied—with themselves. But on the whole the large amount of public spirit, enthusiasm and practical activity shown ia the work was a pleasing sur- prise; and the result was highly credit- able and praiseworthy. Never, we think,—though the day was rainy~did the Queen’s Birthday celebration pass off with more general satisfaction ; aod it is worthy of note that no one was killed, drowned, or even hurt.
The tree-placting was confined to no class. Rich and poor, learned avd ignor- ant, old and young, menu in public posi- tions and men in private life planted trees. This was pleasing. io matters of taste and sentiment, as well as art and literature, it is well that we should have a pure democracy. No man should, by reason of want of wealth or high social position, be deprived of his share of the pleasure and the honor he is capable of sharing in and fairly obtainiug? and it is gratifying to note that some of the best trees planted on Saturday were planted by those who are regarded as the poorest of our citizens.
Having all sorts and conditions or the people interested in the tree-planting, we have an additional guarantee that the trees will be cared for and protected against the assaults of all their enemies. Strolling cows and bad boys will be watched ; and both, we are bound to say, will be punished with the utmost rigor of the Jaw. Many of those who planted on Rochford Square, have, we observe, placed “protectors” around their respective trees, and their example might well be fellowed. The additional cost is very little; and the “protector,” if property secured, ensures the safety of the tree against all but the most mische- vious or malicious attacks.
‘Safe bind safe fiad— :
A proverb ever true to thrifty mind.”
Great credit is due the Geveral Com- mittee of the Arbor Society as well as the sub-Committees and Secretaries, for each of the Squares;and Messrs. R. R Fitz- Gerald, and A. B. Warburton, deserve special mentioc as the projectors of the movement. The Secretary for the Rochford Square Commiitee offers a suggestion which seems to be a good one, and is, at all events, worthy of con- sideration with a view to future action for the improvement of the West End of the City and the convenience of citizens frequenting Victoria Park.
As the ExaM!NeRr anticipated, nothing was doue, uuder the auspices of the Arbor Society, towards tree-planting on Great George Street, though some five trees were planted by private Citizens ; and the report of Thomas McKinlay, Esq., which will be found in another column shewsthe reason why. We hope the City Council will, as soon as possible, have this street laid out and prepared for the planting of trees, etc., in the way indicated a few days ago.

LOWER GREAT GEORG! STREET,
The following is Mr. McKinlay’s report on Lower Great George Street :—
This street, in its present condition, is as ill adapted as could well be for proper trey- planting and protection.
The drains on the eastern side average eighteen feet from the buildings to their centre, while those on the western average sixteen feet.
The gas pipes appear to lie half-way be- tween the drain and kerb of the sidewalk, on the eastern side, i. e., about fourteen feet from the buildings.
In connection with this examination, I measured the distance from buildings or fences at which several seta of trees are at present growing in town. Those planted by the Hon. James Duncan are eleven feet, and are very much too near, having now grown to touch the corner of the house and also cverhang the fence in some cases, various other sets are twelve, thirteen and sixteen feet; all these latter on Prince street. In front of Mr. ‘Thomas Alley’s house on Prince street, are four trees at eighteen feet, but these which are pretty well grown show that a much further distance is advisable where possible, as in such wide streets as those runnfng up from the harbor. Twenty- two to twenty-four feet would not seem too much to prevent the trees when grown up from proving to a considerable extent an annoyance by darkening the houses, and the closer the trees are planted, in the row, the more necessity there will be for attending to this. When planted thirty feet or more apart, eighteen feet might do, but at balf that distance less than twenty- four feet would most likely be tound unadvisable.
So that in Great George street (southern end) the present location of gas pipes, drain, &c., on the east side, will compel any planting, if done without altering the arrangement of the street, (which is at present impracticabie) will have to be ata minimum distance of twenty feet, perhaps the full distance of twenty-four feet,
There are four blocks on each side to plant between Richmond and Water streets. These at thirty feet distance apart will take six trees each side, making forty-eight in all; at twenty feet apart, nine each side or seventy-two in all; at fifteen feet, or there- by eleven each side or eighty-eight in all; while the section (about one hundred and lifty feet in length) below Water street will take, if planted about twelve, sixteen, or twenty-iwo trees additional, according to diatance as above.
THos. Macxrntay. PUBLIC GARDEN ON QUEEN SQUARE.
The special committee for Queen’s Square, held a meeting this morning, when a subscription list was opened for the pur- pose of defraying the expenses of beautify- ing the Square, it being decided to lay off and edge the walks, plant flowers, et:ke trees, dc. Mr. A. Newbery was requested
to secure the services of an expbrienced

A ‘committee is also to call upon persons In- ‘terested for subscriptions, There is no | good reason why these grounds should not \be made equal to the Public Gardens at | Halifax. We believe our soil is better ad- apted, and more can be accomplished here at less cost. Ladies wishing to plant flow ers, can have beds allotted to them on ap- plication to the Secretary. Every precau- tion will be taken to protect the grounds.
TREES PLANTED ON THE STREETS.
Among those who planted trees on our etreets were,— William Murray, who plant- ed seven very fine young elms in front of his property on Pownal street; F. 8. Moore, who contributed several rock maples to Prince street; Dr. Warburton, who planted a beech and a rock maple on Great George street, and Dr. Robins who planted a graceful yellow birch in front of his office on Great George street; Robert Taylor planted a number of fine trees in frent of his residence on corner of Cumberland and, Grafton streets; Heury Weeks has planted three trees in front of his residence on Pownal street, Philip Large, John Shea, and McKie & McDougall have each plan- ted very nice trees opposite their respective places of business, on Upper Great George street.
A SUGGESTION,
An avenue of elms and rock maples leads from Pownal to Rochford Street, along the south side of the square, thence along the west end of the square the avenue is continu- ed to Fitzroy Street. It is suggested that in the near future Fitzroy Street should be carried across Government Pond, and into the Brighton Road. A com- plete avenue for fovt passengers, and a broad street way of eighty feet in width would thus be formed, leading from the Main Street directly to the Park. The avenne at the south side of the square will also lead to Government House bridge, along Kent street. If Esplanade street were to be carried across the Douse property to con- nect with West street, which connects with Kent street at the Drili Shed, and Kent street continued along shure line of Govern: ment House grounds a continuous street would then lead through the most beautiful part of the town, from the Esplanade to Victoria Park. If the two ideas are carried out, two fine entrances will be obtained,and the Park will at once be a compact portion of our pleasant littl city.
NOTES.
It has been remarked that, with the ex- ception of William Murphy, Esq., no mem- ber of the City Council—as at present con- stituted— planted a tree.
The special Committee in charge of Hills- borough Park will gladly accept donations of suitable trees (large sizes) from any one desirous of assisting in the ornamentation of the Park.
