“Of this amount $5,185.98 is due under the head of Real E-tate, of which $3,174.05 is for the years 1878 and 1879, when the assessment Was hi ule upon the occupier, and cannot, under any circumstances, be realiz-d. The remaining $2,971.93 is an accumulation of arrears levied upon the property from 1880 onward. I cannot see the util ty of cacrying on, from year to year, arrears of unco'lectable taxes as * Assety,” when there does sot appear to be the sligit- est probalility of realizing even (beyond) the odd $14.08, I should advise the amount be written off. If it must apyear im the books of the corporation, let it appear as a Suipense account.

“No effort, so faras [ am aware, ha- been made to enforce, under execution, piyment of arrears due on assessment of r.al estaie. Wiy I know not; an it may,

rhap-, be just a+ weil te say that there is a feeling of doubt existing and and ex- pressed iu some quarters as to the precise powers given to the Corporation to sell real estate under execution for unpaid or default taxes. If there docs exist any rea- son for doubt in this direction, step= should at once be taken to have it re- moved by the Legislature, so that no on owning property shall be abie to evade payment, or be permitted exemption from contributing towards the funds of the cor- poration, aud if the charter confers autl.- thority, then the law) shoald be pat in force, and collections made under exe- cution and sale.

“Depreciation of real estate and plant and movable property owned by the Cor- poration, would seem to me to call for re- appraisement, so that as near a* possilie a correct value shonkd be ascertained, and ihe ‘balance sheet’ shew a close approxima- tion of the value of the assets of the city. I instance, for example,tiie Market House, Queen’s Wharf and Pownal Wharf prop- erties.

“There haz been a fair amount of ma- eudamizing done during the year. We, however fail in keeping the macadam free from dirt and ruts. The latter, engineers teil us, should never be alluwed io form at all. Horses will follow a beaten track, and a slight rut soon becomes a deep hole,

reiaining water and ruining the road = sur- face. A smooth roadway is much more

easily kept clean, consequently the hea!th of the city depends somewhat on the method of performing street work. A little attention just here would be econ- omy. -

“The careful and complete renova! of all filth from the streets at all times should be carried ont, and the collection and disposal of refuse shoul! be insisted In this connection I would call atten- tion to the too common practice of parties throwing their ashes,store sweepin z*,papers and other rubbish upon the streets and gut- ters. An ordinance should be passed that such waste matter be placed in vessels or tanks, and be removed at stated perio:ls, either by the owner, or by a scavenger duly appointed, and i)’ by the latter, at raies to be regulated by tiis Council.

“In my reports of 1579 and 1880, as (the then) Mayor, I called attention to the ne- cessity Of a Survey of the city. Fifteen yeare has elapsed, and we are still without a plan of the city of Charlotte- town; encroachments by property hoiders 18 a matter which should not be longer ne- glected, and it wonld appear to me to be an absolute necessity that a survey, with plane, showing the present lines, should be made without{further delay, and should receive the sanction and authority of the Legislature, by which al! boundar- ies would be established,and power should also be chtained to ensure a more sum- mary method of dealing with encroach. ments upon the streets. Were this done, then one (if not the) great difficulty in the way of permanent street sidewalks would be re-noved, and by a bye law of the city » revewal of plank sidewalks in the prin- cipal business streets might be forbidden. and sidewalks of asphalt, or block pave- ment, be laid, leading eventually to em- ployment of the same material “upon one or two of the principal streetz, aul those surrounding Gases Square. a

“This Council last April petitioned the Legislature then in session ‘That un Act respecting an Avenne to Victoria Park, which has now expired, be re-enacted, and that the mentioned for the com mencement of the work be extended from eighteen months to three years.’ This Act was not passed by the Legislature. The respons bility of the cily therefore ceased, and whether the Loeal or Domin-

ion Government, separate or combined, are the custodians of the Government Farm I know not, but this I do know,

that the present condition of the water front is a scandal and a disgrace. Is it possible for this Council to intervene in some way or other, and by an appeal to the Local or Dominion Governnients, or both, have something done the pre- vention of further waste of land, and step taken to earry out the roadway.

“The approach to Victoria Park by a roadway would be a yvreat convenience to the citizens, and Lt have no duubt tuat thi- Council would be prepare | to pay a share We are in the midst of ‘hard with winter upon us, no employ- ment for labor, and the expenditure of three or four thousand dollars would be a workieg man.

“Permit me, in closing, w say that we ire here ax the representatives of the people, snd here to the ailairs of the municipality solely for the benetit of the citizens; as We manage our own business so far as care and economy are concerned, but not as we are prone to mWwanagze our own affairs so far as self is concerned; and [ trust that during the year upon which we have entered we shall be found using. our

be-t efforts in the interest of the City.”

T.e City Auditors, Messrs Galbraith and Miller, in presenting the balance ~heet for the year, took occa*ion to express their pleasure at the fact that since Mayor Dawson had been elected real estate hal increased in value to ce amount of $112,-

tnanage

272, and the percentage levied had de- creased from $1.29 per centum t: $1.00. The Auditors also point

out that the total amount in arrears in 1273 (Mayor Dawson’s first year-as Mayor) wherea? for the past year

was $1695 66,

they find only $1184.63 for the year. The increase of uncollected taxes over last year amounts to $730.00. The total

amount of said taxes up to December 31st. reaches the sum of $6,669,45. That, they consider, is too much, and the object of their report is to ascertain what disposition the Mayor in Council intend making of it. These uncollected taxes are claimed as an a-set, and as such have been included in their report; but the question is:-if that amount is due the city, why is it not cel!- lected ?. In this connection the anditors do not wish to cast any reflection of neg- livence npon the Collector On the contrary, they have found him a most efficient offi er, obliging and cnergetie in his departmen‘al work. Bat there seems to be some difficulty in collecting these outstanding taxes, and sone of the delinquents claim that thev caunot legally be made to pay. This shou d not be the ease, and if a doubt exists, the auditors submit that it is a question- for the Mayor in Council to consider at mee: if thes: accounts are uncol- lectabie (legally) there shou'd certain!y be some application made for the power If the city does not Lolithe rame at the present time, and itcannot be had, then let these amounts cease to appear as an asset. Acting on the sugge-tion that al! channels of revenue and disbursements of the city’s money be carefully checked, the auditurs have, on the order of the Citt Council, included the books of the Police Court and City Scheo! Board in their aulit. In the former they have inangurated a new system, which is as gratifying to the pubjig as to the clerk. In all the civic offices they found the books well kept, and

the officials efficient and obliging. The City Schoo] Board’s bovk: are also well

kept and the system followed is a good ca ~ ag 5 one. The anlitors also speak highly the mauner in which the police register ix kept, remarking that it is not burpassed for cleanliness in any station in Canada.

The Water Commissioners in their re- port state that the service this year gave general -atisfaction with the exception of a slight mishap or two which did not mar the efiiciency of the service. During the year the expenditure on conatruction has ben $1,046 20, making the total cost of real estate, material=, enginéring ex*en- sions, services, ete,, $202,312.82. The iron pipe extensfone involved an expend:- ture of $297.77. The expenditures in lay- ing service pipes in 1894 amounted to $690.13, making the tetal cost of services laid to date $19,281.9¢, The year cloves with 1,622 water-takers, or 66 more than at the end of 1893. The revenue has increased $119.22 over that of last year. On maintenance the expendi- ture was $3,726.01, being $188.08 more thanin 1893. The total revenue for the year was $12,876.85, and the expenditure $3,- 726.01; the surplus, therefore, was $9,150.- 84. This has Leen depoaited to the credit of the City Council towards payment of in- terest on water debentures amounting in 1894 to $9,480, the shortage for the year therefore, being $329.16. Tie Commission- ers point out that when the time arrived last spring when operations should have commenced for the laying of the proposed pipe on the Malpeque road it was a-cer- tained that the provincial market was over- stocked with 4 per cent debentures an.l that our water works debentures would realize considerably short of par. — Better offers were obtained in the awinmn, but it was then too late to proceed with the new pipe line. | The Commissioners, however,

did not neglect making some preparation

for the undertaking. Mr. Tidd, the en- gineer, under whose supervision the water system was con-tructed, wa consulted and a plan of the proposed line obtained. Mr. Tidd recow.mended, in order to maintain the pressure in the city for fire purpo-es, that the second sipe be not less than 12 inches in diameter, and that it be extended into the city down to Kent street, and con- nected withthe 10 inch main on that street, as well as the 3 inch pipe on Fitz- roy street, and the 6 inch one on Euston sreet. This recommendation commended itself to the Commissioners, and must do

nature and aceommodation provided for prisoners at the Police Station, and to report upon the advisa-

bility and feasibility of improving upon

so to the citizens generally. The pipe line

will therefore cost the whole $20,000 al- lowed for it by the Legislature’s extension of the previous limit for issuing water

? . } so —) a3 f ° should be fond without further logs of Court, also submitted a very full report

showing the transactions during the year as compared with the previous year’s work. During the past year there were 271 convictions as follows: Abusive lan- guage, 8; annoying pereons in their dwell- ings, 2; drunkenness, 140; indecent expos- ure, 2; malicious dogs at large, 7; obstruct- ing sidewalks, 8; trucking without license, 2; unclean premises, 2; breaches liquor re- gulation act, 11; breaches Lord’s Day Act, 1; breaches Canada Temperance Act, 41, interfering with police in the discharge of their duty, 1; larceny, 7; malicious injuries to property, 7; seamen absenting themselves without leave, 2; using stamps previously used, 1; vagrancy, 1; carrying offensive we. pons, 3. There were also 78 dismis- sals during the year; and 12 persons were sentup for trial in the Supreme Court, making a total of 361 cases adjudicated upon. The total receipts of the court were $2837.91, made up as fol- lows: Fines, $2006.53; costa, $461.38; dog tax, $370. There were paid eat for wit- nesses fees and disbursements $435.41; amount deposited in bank, $2382.50. Dur- ing the year 1083 documents have been is- sued and handed to the police for execu- tion or service. 177 appeals from the valuation of the city assessors and the im- p sition of poll tax have been heard and a tjudicated upon, and the sum of $619.87 city taxes have been collected and paid over to the city clerk. Since the 28th day of July, 1894, the day on which the Canada Temperance Act came into’ force the sum ot $1185.55 has been collected i fives and costs for the violation of the Act, and the sum of $348.81 hav been expend- el in witnesses and other dieursements in connection with the enforcement of the same.

Dr. Richard Johnson, Health Officer, in his report commented upon the inaction

\of the Council in regard to making pro- i aS 2

mortuary ata-

| tistics, and pointed out that because of this

|

inaction it was very difficult to obtain any- thing approaching to preciee information regarding the public health. During the year he had received notice of two cases of scarlet fever, five of diphtheria and seven- teen of typhoid fever. Of the termination of these cases no official notices had reach- ed him, excepting those of One recevery from scarlet fever and two recoveries and ove death from diphtheria. In the spring diphtheria appeared almost simultaneously in Several households in the city and threatened to become epidemic, but ihe prompt enforcement of the regulations se- éaring isolation anddisinfectionwasettectual

in Staying its further spread. The Health Officer also referred to the treatment of

diphtheria by the anti toxine serum, and pointed out tiat it had “already secured for itself a place in the front rank ef the most powerful and efficacious remedies to be in the future emploved in the treatment of this deally disease.” In this connec- tion the Health efficer said it was much to he desired that the Board of Health of this city should obtain a supply of this remedy.

Sanitary Officer McRae, in his report, stated that since his appointment in March last he had inspected the premises of the various schoole in the city avd found them in a satisfactory condition. He had also visited the various preimi-es iu the city and saw that they were kept in a cleanly condition. Sinve March there were seven residences’quarantined for d:ph theria, and in every cate exvept one he found water in the cellars. Iu nv instance did the diphtheria epread from a houre that was quarantined. ‘The sanitary officer al<o stated that there is quite a number of houses in the city that are unfit for humen habitation on account of there being water in the cellars continually

Mr. Ewen Stewart, Secretary of the City Board, reports that from July 1 to Dee 31, 1894, the total number of pupils enrolled in Upper Prince Street School was 620, daily average attendance 510; Queen S.juare, 309 enrolled and attendance 254; West Kent, 473 enrolled, attendance 394. The maintainenance of Prince Street School, clear of teachers salaries, amonut- el to $824.52; Queen Square Cincluliog rent of building, $850) $1265.69; West Kent (including $576 for new boiler) $1555.28. The supplement« to teachers salarie< amounted to $2742.50. There re- tnain2 210.80 to tne credit of the Board at the Bank.

The report of City Mar+hal Cameron, from the police register, is as follows: Men seeking lodging in station as vagrants, 12; electric Jamps reported out, 495; fire alarm, 14; attempts to break into dwell ings, 4; cow? impounded, 12; horses im- poumled, 5; dangerous holes in sidewalke, 30; hor-es run away, 22; robberies report- ed, 17; deors found open, 4.

Chief Eegineer Large’s report showed tha the fire !lo-s was very small during the year. There were fourteen alarms in all, two of which were falee. The tire de- partment was called out twice during the year, once to attend the funeral of Piret Assistant Chief Rebertsew, and on the other occaxion to receive the Governor General,

A letter was read from the Health Offi:- er, stating that a case of measlee in the family of Mr. T. J. Dillon had been report- ed to him. Dr. Dewar, of Southport, is the attending physician, and he was fully

informed regarding the regulations of the Board respecting such carer.

A letter was read trom the Stipend ary- Mazi-irate recommending that new over- coats be provided fur two of the police men. Referred to the Finance Committee with power to order the same.

C. Perley Welsh, inspector of the fire alarin system, tendered his resignation. He thoaght the $30 received for this work was not sufficient.

John Bolger reported concerning the cost of a drain in front of his premises on Water Street. In his opinion it would cost $.26.40. It was decided to take up the matterata future meeting.

Then a bill from the Telephone Com- pany was submitted and the matter of paying for the city’s telephones waa brought up and discussed at rome length. A letter from the Telephone Company stated that no reduction from the eom- pany’s tariff rates could be made during the coming half year.

Councillor Tanton meved in amend- ment toa motion that the bill be paid that the Council diecontinue the use of all the telephones except that in the Police station. Seconded by Councillor Me- Carron. Amendment lost.

Councillor Tanton then moved an amendment that the bill be paid leve the amonut forthe Stipendiary Magistrate’s telephone. Seconded by Councillor Me- Carton.

On a division being called on this am ndment there appeared for it Coun- cillors Tanton, McCarron, Hooper and Douve; and against it Councillers aszard, Fennell, Hughes and Taylor.

Mayor Dawson, in giving his casting vote, said that five months ago he had ex- pressed an opinion on this matter, which

opinion he held to«lay, He said then that he thought the city had as much right to pay for

ne a te aa

a telephone to hie honse as it had ta pay for one to the residence of the Stipendiary Magistrate. He therefore gave his casting vote is faver of the amendment.

Coun. Tanton thea moved the fellowing resolution which wae secoaded by Coun. MeCarron :

Resolved, That hereafter no moneys be appropriated by this Council other than for regular and legitimate city purposes.

Some of the Councillore thought that this resolution was too sweeping; that the matter with which it dealt wae already sufficiently covered by the “McCarron re- solution” which wae binding ou thie Council. Others again thought that the resolution was the right thing in the right place, and argued that it could be suepend- ed by a unanisnous vote of the Council is case of an extraordinary expenditure.

Ona division being called fer em thie motion, the vote stood as follows :

Ayes—Tanton, Mc@arron, Tayler and Donse.

Nays—Haszard, Fennell, Mnghes aed Hooper.

The Mayor asked time te eoasider the resolution more fully eon one hie earting vote, which he promised to give at the adjourned meeting on Tuesday evew ing.
