the City Council was} ing. Present: Mayor |

illors Murphy, Morris, | |

A Meeting o heid last ever Dawson, Coun Byrne, Koughan, Smith, McLean. Davy, | Lawson and Chappelle. BR .

A deputation from the citizens’ meet- | etail. iug in Market Hall, consisting of Heury | Hooper, G. W. Milloer, Capt. John | Hughes, James Curtis, Henry C. Douse |

and Matthew Stevenson, Esqrs., waited oa the Council aod requested their at- tendavce ia abody in Market Hall to answer questions proposed by citizens regarding the water works. A majority of the councillors were of opinion that the requesi of the deputation was highly improper. They, therefore, did not ac- cede to it.

Councrttors BLake aud Murphy were re-appointed members of the Finance Committee.

Counci.tor McLean inutroduced a by- law to encourage new industries in the City of Charlottetown, which was read a first time anc ordered to be read a second time at the next meeting. It provides: (1) That al! applications of new indus- tries from taxution shall be made by petition to the Mayor and Council; (2) that such petition shall be accompanied by proof that the advertisement required by law has been properly issued; (3) that the Council on such application shall exempt such new industries from taxa- tion; and (4), that no exemption will be granted to any new industry, which does not annually expend $5,000 for wages.

The Mayor then read the following tenders recertly received :—

Deted at Charlottetown, 3rd June, 1881.

(Sg) E. Waset, C. E., fer James Gamble & Ce., New Yerk.

His Worship after reading the above tenders, explained the course which he recently pursued regarding the water question, and showed that his action in assisting Mr. “\asell in his inspection ef the water sources of this city, was in accordance with his duty as Mayor. He also explained his reasons for requesting the Council to hear the proposals of Mr. Wasell at a private Meeting which were very satisfactory.

CounciLLox Murpny, was at a loss to kaow what objection the Patriot could have to the Council hearing Mr. Wasell at a private meeting. Mr. Wasell wish- ed to give the Council instructions re- eos a water supply, to let them know

r what amount lie could construct such works, and as he requested that his figures should be imparted privately and confidentially, a private mecting was the only place in which they could be given. He could see no impro- priety in the course pursued in this mat- ter. Councilior Murphy then proceeded in eloquent terms to show that a never- failing water supply was indispensible for Charlottetown. He referred to the great conflagration in Quebec, yes from Tae Examiner, showing

the cause of the great magnitude of

May 10, 1881.

_

eo a

! ithe fire was the want of water, and re- /minded the Council that the same calam- |ity might at any time befal this city and | Sweep it from north to south if it were | not well supplied with water. The city ‘tanks, after a small fire, are always | drained to the last drop, and what would | be the consequence if a large fire took |place here. They city would suffer as bears cities without an inexhaustible supply of :

water must suffer, With a good supply of water life and property would be _ doubly _ safe,

Insurance would be cheaper, better in- surance companies would come to the) city to do business, and citizens would!

would be deprived of without a supply of| water. In St. John a constant supply | of water is given to every citizen at the| rate of five dollars per annum, and the! Charlottetown water tax would not be! anything more than that. He then directed | the attention ofthe Council tothe quality | of Winter River water, showing it to be| superior to any other ever tested in the| Province, and stands fourth on the list| with the filtered water of Loudon, Paris, ca and of Europe, and were it ; filtered, he believed, it would stand first. He then reminded the| Council of his agitation for a steam fire engine, previous to 1866. The people were then in a body against his talked-of extravagance. A steam engine was not! their necessity. They could not afford it. Buta day after the best part of the city was swept off by fire, they were rich enough to purchase a most costly one in England. The same way with water works, Until we iearn their value vy sad experience we will not have them. He then showed the advantage of water works in St. John and other cities, and | said that the corporations had to pay heavy premiums to get them from the companies which constructed them, as they were found to pay handsome divi- dends. He uever knew the introduction | of water works into a city to be a popu-' lar movement ; but he always found the | strongest opponents of the movement to| be in favor of the water after it was in-| troduced. He was in favor of the lowest | tender for constructing the works, The/ one now before the Council was a grrr one, and he would vote for it, unless a/| better one were offered. He was also in favor of Tender No. 2, but he would have a provisien inserted in the agreement that | the Council should buy the Company out if they thought fit, and then if the Coun- cil saw that the works were not a paying | speculation, they might leave them on the | hands of the Company. Councillor Murphy then moved **That the Mayor be requested to call a meeting on next Mon- day evening to take into consideration the introduction of a water supply for the City of Charlottetown.”

CouNCILLOR CHAPPELLE seconded the resolution, and, after a lively debate, in which Councillors Byrne, Morris, Koughan, Lawson, Davy and McLean took part, the meeting adjourned, <i> ><a

The Physique of British Soldiers.

The nonsense which has been talked about the degeneration of physique of re- cruits,caused by shert service, may be con- sidered as dispesed of by the repert of the Inspecter-General en recruiting. It is te be observed, in the first place, that whereas jong serviee before its abolition had failed to supply the 11,000 men required annually for the army, short service gives all that are wanted, namely, from 25,000 te 26,000 anuually, and offers a great many mere than are taken. The physical aver- age ef the recruits is regularly and steadily improving year by year. In 1871 the pro- portion ef seidiers in the aray under twenty years of age was 190 per 1,000. In 1880 it was enly 100 per 1,000, or little more than half what it was befere short service was introduced. The propertien of narrew-chested men—that is under thirty-five inches—has fallen by nearly ene-half since 1874. Here are facts which it may be presumed, will net be disputed; and it may be hoped that in the face ef them the senseless cry that the army is degener- ating will not eease, it will at least be discredited by all sensible men.—-Pall Mall Gazetie.

The fellowing is from the Lenden Standard, and we have much pleasure in endorsing the remarks of Hon. Mr. Childers, as well as the cemments ef the Standard: Addressing the members ef the Reyal Arsenal Volunteer Cerps at Woelwich, last Saturday, Mr. Chil- ders said that in his boyheed it was a common thing to teach drill in scheels. The practice, however, was gradually abandoned, till about the time ef the Crimean war it was scarcely known to exist, The Secretary fer War thinks it was a gved custom, which might with advantage be revived ; and he urges all velunteers te use what influence they eas for the purpose ef iutreducing lessons in drill inte common school training. He might have enforced his precepts by pointing te the case ef Switzerland, In that country every man must serve as a soldier, only the period of his service is excessively shert. The reason why it is shert is that frem chiléhood be is taught drill in school, so taat when he joins the army he is met a rawrecruit, but a partially diseip- lined soldier. {¢ dees not take much time er trouble to make a man officient ; he is very nearly efficient when he leaves seheel.
