LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. fA

Government Pond Arnin.

Sir,—The late action of the City Council in deciding to drain the water from ‘Government Pond and dry its bed, seems to be viewed with disaprroval by many of ithe citizens; and as there seems to be im- ‘mediate danger of the city losing this sheet of water, which, in the very near future,may be made one of the most beauti-

not be amiss to bring the subject mto the newspapers fora little ventilation. Now that the work of beautifying the city has commenced in such good form, as exampled by Mr. Newbery’s arrangement of Queen Square, it seems unfortunate that the members of the City Council have not taken a little more time to consider the subject instead of at once accepting the apparently wise proposal to dry up Goveru- ment Pond, allow moss or grass to grow over the surface, and to furm a narrow stream in the centre to carry away all drainage.

In the first place, the bottom of Govern- ment Pond is below the level of high water, sv that if a narvow stream channel 1s formed in the centre to carry away drainage, the drainage water must either overflow its channel and again fill ip the pond or the river water will rush in at high tide; or if a sewer is built instead of an open drain, then the surface water from the surrounding slopes will flow to the depression of the moss grown surface and again form a _ pond or swamp. ‘Then, again, the idea of allow- ing moss or grass to grow over the filthy, decaying, organic mud strata of the bottom of the pond, which is some six feet in depth, would be a most unsanitary action, and be a very likely cause of producing malaria, as land fog at night, after the heat of summer days, would be almost certain to rise from such a formation, and we would probably create for ourselves a miniature Roman Campagna, across which it would be dangerous to walk after nightfall. Nature thus seems to be very strongly opposed to the idea of draining the poud.

If the whole surface is covered with four or five feet of earth to above the level of high water mark, the dangerous materia! would be simply bottled down a little tighter, and the cost of covering the pond with earth would be three times as great as cleaning it out, and if in the future any habitable buildings should be erected on the site, disease would never be separated from the inmates. This has been proved lately in a district of London, built on land raised somewhat in the above manner. It is a well-known fact that what sanitary engiieers call nd air is continually sucked out of the strata under and around a dwelling house by means of the ascending heated coluian of air in the interior of the building. The atmospheric air continually sinks into the ground from the surface, passes through the earth and ascends into the house. It will thus be seen that if the strata of earth on which a house is erected, is in any way filthy, or if earth pits are sunk in a yard adjoining,or if impure waste water isthrown upon the surface to sink into the earth and saturate it, the air in} the dwelling house will be continually

foo! apart, for the admission of sunlight and atmospheric air, which will be # cure pre- ventative of the formation of sewer gas ii ithe drain.

| All foul water frou the distriet around Spring Park would be carried off by the drain, snd the pure water from the spring could flow alony its present course, aud would be quite strong envagh tosupply aud keep pure = clear, fresh water Inke, where weuow have the iithy water of Govern- ment i’ond. The mudin the pond could be cleaned oct in winter by farmers with mussel mud diggers, for the material would be a most valuable fertilizer (too valuable, indeed, to bury under a layer of tive ivet of earth.) 1 already know a farmer living across the river «ho intended to ask per- mission of the Coumil to allow him to place adigyer on the pond durinc this winter.

When the bottom has been cleaned out, the banks at the sides can be neatly graded and sown with grass down to the water's edge, and a pathway of fifteen or twenty feet in width carried around either side of the Pond aud planted with willows. i ius wouid inake a pleasant connection between Brighton Road and Government Bridge, and a small] foot passenger bridge of design could be thrown across the Pond at the foot of Fitzroy Street leading down from the Kirk, and a curved pathway con- tinued from the bridge across the angle of the corner field of Government farm on to Brighton Road, and the small space of the field between the pathway and Brighton Road turned into a public gaaden and planted with trees. The Pond and its sur- roundings would then make a_ beautiful foreground to Government House grounds and gardens, aid Brighton Road would be- come & spacious entrance to the Park, in- stead of appearing, as at present, but « gloomy passage across the River Styx, with Black Sam's Bridge as a parody on the bark of Charon.

In many a city thousands of dollars have been expended in making artificial lakes, and now, forthe trijling expenditure re- quired in making a simple wooden drain, we are likely to lose the opportunity that nature has given us for beautifying the city.

In carrying the brook of clear water from Spring Park to the entrance into the Pond at Brighton Road, if a space of land fifteen or twenty feet wide on each side is reserved for a pathway, and this space planted with a row of willow trees on each side, » beau- tiful avenue would thus be made, forming adirect proimenade from the spring in Spring Park to Brighton Road, and along the ride of the Pond to Government House Bridge. As soon asa good drain is con- structed the vicinity of the tanneries would céase to be objectionable, and the avenve as proposed would very much enhance the value of building lots ov the north side of the brook between McKinnon’s taunery and Spring Park Road, and I imagine that it would be money in the pockets of gen- tlemen who own this property to give the city a slice of thirty or forty feet> out of their fields to construct the proposed avenue. As far up, however, as tide water used to flow, the citizens may probably have aright to utilize the land for highway pur] WSL:

The proposed avenue would be very use-

is that all people owning land on the edge of it would probably encroach and purloin the whole of the property now under water, as has already been done within the large area that used to form a portion of the pond above the Brighton Bridge, between the two tanneries, which space, I believe,

flow of salt water, and therefore citizens must still have certain legal rights to the Salne.

In Murray River, where an old mil] dam was constructed years ago across the tide water, the present proprietor, after a law- suit, is now compelled to allow farmers to dredge for mussel mud inside his mill dam.

One methed proposed for clearing the Pond is to dredge it out to the level of the shore, and allow it to remain full of salt water, by the use of an inward opening flood gate. This, however, would be objec- tionable, asa salt water pond is always very unpleasant on account of greater offensiveness from decay of vegetable or animal matter on its margins than in a fresh water pond, andthe tendency in a salt water pond to promote the growth of marsh weeds and slimy mosses as in Ken- sington marsh.

Everybody will acknowledge that the Government Pond could be made into a very beautiful lake, and that all the present difficulty and nuisance lies in the fact of the woolen factory, tanneries and other drains emptying into it. Instead of the present idea of drying up the Pond (even if it can naturally be performed without in- curring the great cost required of filling it up with earth), I beg leave to propose that a plank drain, two feet square, be laid from high water mark, sunk in the earth bank along the margin of the pond up to the Brighton Bridge, into which the Euston Street drain from Holland Grove Hill will flow. From this point up to Boyle's tan- nery, and thence up to the woolen factory and tapping the Malpeque Road, an eighteen inch plank drain should be laid at the margin of the aforesaid stream. This drain would be sufficient to take drainage from factories and all waste water from yards and houses in the district. The pre- sept plank drain on Euston Street is an enormous arrangement, having a sectional area of nine superficial feet, out of which the water flowing into Government Pond during the late heavy rains only had a sec- tional area of about one superficial foot, constructing this drain tu would be re- quired to form the smaller one proposed from the woolen factory to tide water. Along the course of this drain | shouid pro- pose to have ventilators every one hundred

was at one time covered with the ebb and}

and prubably more money was expended in|

ful in connecting the many residences of

covered with earth we will thus have three | promin nt city gentlemen living to the or four acres of poison bottled up in the: north and west of Spring Park ia a very heart of the city waiting for its unsuspect-{ direct route with Vietoria Park, Govern- i {ment House and Dundas Esplanade wheu Another objection to drying up the Pond{ South Sivcet is extended.

In Halifax a great del of money was ex- pended in forming an ai(ificial lake in the public gardens, anda few years ago the margins of a smail stream of water rining from the commow into it were planted with willows on eech side, and they now form a delightfully shaded avenue for king under. J hene your readers will pardon me for having extended my letter to so great a length. My excuse is that I have a very strong opinion that with a little care, Charlottetown may be made one of the most beautiful cities in Canada, and I do not like the idea of passively seeing Cov- ernment Pon?’ changed into an urheairhy swamp without protesting. J remain, yours &c., W. C. Harris.

The Hungarian Colony.

Count Paul Oscar d’Esterhazy las veen in Ottawa for some time, on business con- nected with the Hungarian colonization of the Qu’ Appelle Valley. All the families who will move into Esterhazy this winter are uow there, and mostly in comfertable winter quarters. The Count has been much amused by reports that the Hungarian settlers were giving place to Scatch and Irish, a statement that he strenously denies. Some ten or fifteen of the settlers have gone to work in various places for the winter, but these have all obtained permis- sion from Mr. Bedford wio, it appears, is a sort of burgo-master of the new village. The settlers have now some 27 houses, and are fairly provisioned for the winter, About $900 worth of clothing has recently been distributed amongst the mew settlers. In the spring it is Count d’Esterhazy’s inten- tion to continue the work of bringing immi- grants, and settling the new colony. He is also at present engaged in considering and maturing plans for extended shcep ranch- ing, an occupation in which the Hungarians are especially clever. These plans will probably be carried into effect next year, and Count d’Esterhazy contemplates secur- ing large profits from the enterprise in @ few years.
