Secretary .

After routine business a second letter from John T. Mellish, barrister~at-law, rezarding the claim of John McKinnon, was read and acommittee of three appoint ed to look into the case.

A letter was read from Mr, L. A. Seller, lessee of the city scales, asking that his rent be reduced from $400 to $200 ov account of a decrease of business, was ordered to lie on the table,

A letter was atso read from the Secre- tary of the City School Board informing the Council of certain debentures falling due.

The reports of the various civic depart- ments were then received and read.

The report of the City Clerk showed the receipts and expenditures tu be is line with the statement published in Tue EXAMINER some cays ago.

Yhe repertef the clerk of the police court showed that during the year up- wards of fifieen hundred docaments had heen prepared aud handed to the police for execution and service, and that two hundred avd sixty-eeven informations had been laid ¢or various offences. It was pointed out that the pumber ¢efoffences for larceny investigated by the court was 33 as compered with 7 in 1896, and thata large proportion of the ofteoders this year were boys ranging in age from 10 to ié yeare. Jn view of this fact it was suggest.

ed that some steps be take# ‘for the refor matioa ef these boys other than confining

them inthe common jail. ‘It was further pointed out that there were in the poor-

house several able-bodied men who sere not fit echjects for a poor- Rouse or an asy- lam, and who should be placed in a work. house where they would have to earn their

bread. There was alsea boy age It re garding whom sem? action should be taken.

According to the Water Commissiower’s report, the total revenwe for the year «vas $13,218.22, and the expood'- tare $8,697.96. The eurplus whick the commissioners were able to pay over to the City Treasury was $9,515.26. The interest on water debentures during the year being $9,600: the amount paid ever to the Council will be €74.74 short of the interest accrued. Hed the rates ‘been completely paid ag there would hare'been a surplus of $9226 ve be applied«o the sinking fund. Uoder the head of main- tenance, the expenditere for the year was £3,697.96, or $13.42 less than in 2896. ‘There-was an increase -of $138.98 ea cup plies and repairs to pumping station, and wm desrease of $135.97 in the coal nccowat. The other tems of expenditure were avout the saee asin the previous yeor . It was pointed out that the waterworks have been nioe years in eperation and aotwithstandirg Geat the greatest care has beew taken of the boiler aud pumping eogine, prudence dictates thata second boiler, at least, and az eddi- tional pumping eogine should be procured fur the works in 1898 In order to procerd with these needed additions to the gump- img station. it will be necessary for the Nayor and Conncillore to unite with the Water Commissioners én a petition to the Legislature to extend the issue of water debentures from $264,000 to at least $210,006.

Councillor Nicholeoa then spoke at some length regarding the manner in which the affairs of the city had een managed during the veer. He thovght that the Goard was to be congratalated upon the fact that there was a balauce on the right side cousiderigg that they hed to meet extraordinary expenditures amount- ing toabout $7,000 im addition to the ordinary expenditures.

could be put in without the rate ; the

ment being increased. fle believed citizens would approve of a move heing made in the matter of sewerage. There was no complaint regarding the present assessment. The citizens were not asking fcr a reduction. The people will pay taxes if they see some return in the shape of permanent work, There would be $75,000 epent in labor during the two years if sewerage were proceeded with, aud be hoped there would be no factious opposition to the scheme.

Councitior Taylor believed in going ahead and being up to date in respect to improvements. He beliewed that sewers would come in the near future. There rhould at least be a sewer on Queen Street. He thought that sewerage coald not be put in for $125,000. The cost would be vearer $200,060. Sewerage cannot be ex- pected this year in view of the extra €x-

pense in coanection with the water- works. He did not agree with

Councillor Nicholson as to macadamizing; but believed they should keep oa with the work.

Councillor Hughes did not think it advisable to discuss the matter of sewerage

was the proper-place. He thought, how— ever, that tke Water Commissioners did right in calling attention to the need of a second engive and boiler at the waterworks and moved eke following resolution, which was seconded by Councillor Horne : Resolved, That this council ackaowl-

edge the receipt of the annual report of the Water Cemmissioners and note with pleasure theirfsuggestion respecting the pur chase of a eecond engine and pump for the waterworks station. This Ceuncil coasder it w most serious matter and trust ac ume wilt be lost in securing the same.

The resolution was adopted after sme} discussion, and the rejectio: of an amend—} ment that it lie on the table. i

Two teaders for keeping the fire alarm! eysiem im repair were sudmitted. No action was takeo however.

Meyer Dawson then proceeded to briefly’ review the pastrear. Saidhe: The year 1897 will be me norable in the eaaals of

come Haglish history will record me more im posiag event than that which took place at the seat of the Empire, on the 23ed day of Juve Jast, when representatives from every portion of the great Empire gathered in Lengon to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Most Gracious Majesty Qaeen Wictoria smidst festivities and grandeur such as prctsably this world had never ibefore seen, and to testify their lovalty tor, and to do honor to, the noble womar who for sixty years had wora the crown of ‘Great Britain.

Charlottetown shared in the rej sicings, commemorating the event by a splendid procession composed of the ¢ivie aathori- ties, militia, the officers and men of H M. S. Kambler, the Fire Department, the several city soc'eties, the cui'dren of the: public sehools, aud the gathering of the whole ia Victoria Park, where patriotic}

Total indebtedness, 3lst Dec, 1897, less sinking fund and cath in bank. .....-e..0.0... 294,435.00 The subject of sewerage is being dis

cussed by the newspaver press and co the

street. Itcalle,ontbe partof citizens, for careful consideration in regard to both system ard cost, to make haste slowly. in the very able report, obtained by the

Council in 1892, Mr. Waring recommends

“i hat the sewers be devoted to the sole use

of removing household aod other foul

wastes, as trom factories, slaughter houses

&*%., vo surface water being admitted to

any of the sewers.” He says: “I have

made a careful examination of the local conditions of Charlottetown as affeeting the question of sewerage, and as a whole these conditions arefavorabie. In most of the town the slopes are good. The most serious question is that of the disposal of efildent of the sewers,” and after careful consideration of several methods to which he refers he says: “The wisest course would be tedischarge directly from one central point into the harbor in front ot the town,” and that he *‘considers $1590,-

000 entirely suffcient to meet the cost of

the werk.”

I would recommead that Mr. Waring’s report be printed, thus bringing the valu- uble information it contains to the know- ledge of our people and assisting them ia couning to an intelligent opinion upon the su liject.

I desire to call your atiention to His Honor the Stipendiary’s remarks embed'- edin the report from his office re youthful criminals. ‘Ivcalled attention to this sub- ject so far back as the year 1879,in the few remarks I meade to the council at the clove of the civie year, and again in Jaauary 1396. Surely it is time something was done to provide am institution where thes: boys could be seat for training ia morality and aught some useful trade aad gives: them an opportuaity of growing iuto respectable and honest men.

The smat! sum of $379.98

is ail that

* remains uscollected of the year's taxes,

speakingwolumes for the diligence dis- played by che collector, the prom pteess and despatch in the work of the office is most commendable. I know something of the work of the City Clerk and the amount of ¢lerical work involved in the daties of his office. Lhe lebor involved m getting up the accounisand reports fer publication is very great, calling for early aad late hours, and whca one codsiders that within .seven working “days after the close of the year voughave placed before you printed statement of the dican- cia] affairs of the city and ue various de- partmente it Speaks with no uncertain sound of the diligence and ability of Mr. Davison, ¢0 whose courtesy during the-~ four years of my Mayoralty [ have pleas~ ure iu beartag the most unqualified testi mony.

Witn a eredit-balance inthe bank the past four years of $5434.60, with a sink. ing fund of $20,530.69 aud debentures selling at 5g per cent. premium, I con- sider ibe fianeces of the corporation are

hywas and the National Anthem were | sung by the lauer and short addresses} delivered by His Honor the Lieutenant Governor ead the Mayor, the day conclud. j ing by a €remen’s processiou and pactorial | representation of the Queen in 1887 and 1897. Too much praire cannot be given toall who assisted in making the day a { great success.

Daring the month of October we were again honored with a visit by His Excel- lency the “Governor General and the Countess Aberdeen, and the Couned embraced the opportunity of presenting to the distingucehed visitors a congratulatory addres, 10 which asuitable reply was given.

The accounts of the corporation are, as usuai, placed before you in the clearest manner and you will perceive that, not- withstanding extra expenditure incurred for the Diamond Jubilee celebration and the grant to the Windsor sufferer, there is arurplus on the year’s transactioas of $336.75.

The outlay on the Victoria Terrace from the commencement of the work reaches $13,353 58. The Dominion Government grant of $4,000 towards this work reduces the city’s expenditure to $9,353.58. To continue the ex bankment to the Brighton Road, clean out the pond, putting ip a gate |

so that the tide snali flow in and ebb at stated times, thus keeping it clean and | pure, and plant trees along the embank | ment will probably cost an additional $5,000. But in order to prevent the old portion from being washed away by tiaes this work is a pecessity and to finish what) has been so well begun and carried on there should not be the least hesitancy in

in a sound and healthy condition.

Counetior Neholson brought up the bill of W. EF. Carter for refreshments furnisbed iv connection with the Jubilee celebration. ‘Lhe bill was for $52 55, and had been passed by the Council some t me ago tut the Mayor refured to sign the necessary check tor its payment. Vouu- cillor Nichvison thought that in view of all the circumstance the bill should be paid.

Mayor D.wson explained that he had refused to sign the check because the bill did not show the items. He believed also that Mr. Carter did not farntsh ail the refreshments in question and thonght that those who diu supply them sbould present their bills givingthe items. The bill therefore was not correct on its face,and that was why be hai withheld the check up to the present time.

A lenginy discn-sion followed in the course of which it developed that the entertainment for which the refreshments in qnestion were obtained was given in the City Council Chamber on the evening of jubilee day. It was intended to be for the officers of the warship in port, and the officere of the different socreties and the militia. Besides cake, fruit, ginger ale, ¢ gars, CIC., there were some twenty pint buitles of champagne furnished. The champagne and c'gars were procured by Coancillors Hughes and Nichol-on »s Mr. Carter did not deal in that class cf goods, and they were charged in Carters bil. The consensus of opinioa among the Cou » cellor seemed to be that iva view of aij the facts the bill shonld be paid.

Mayor Dawson then reiterated his position in respect to the bil’. He was

completing this beautiful work which wil! | sorry in one sense that the matter had add so largely to the enjoyment and health | been brought up, for some things had been o7 the citizens and be a thing of beauty | said thac it would have been better to bave and joy not only to our own people, but to | left unsaid.
