representatives in the next City Council, to take such measures as may be necessary

to secure these improvements.

But there are one or two requirements which the present City Council may sup- ply. Avsluggish stream of filthy water takes its rise at Walker’s corner; runs past the store of Councillor Dawson, the residence of Counci!!or Fletcher, and the house of Councillor Smith—past the place in which Mr. Coombs does business, across the street, and reaches a low level in front of the buildings on Euston Street. There it exhales a noisome, pestilential vapour, only to be compared with the deadly ma- laria which sometimes rises from the marshes of Italy. A block further on there are large stagnant pools, around which houses are built and people live. The water is generally greenish; and people from the country and healthy parts of the city, when they pass by on a warm, windless day, involuntarily place their handkerchiefs on their nasal organs. The people of the vicinity are, it is needless te say, constantly unhealthy. Even those natarally vigorous, and those whose per- sonal eleanliness is unimpeachable, com- plain of low spirits, dry and feverous skins and cold night sweats. Now we re~ spectfully call the attention of the Councillors for the Ward, particular. ly, and the Mayor and Corporation, gen- erally, to this nuisance, in the hopes that means may be taken, ere the elections in August next, to abate it. The district should be thorougbly drained. A sewer should be made from Great George Street

Black Sam’s’ Bridge.’

There is another matter to which we beg to direct the attention of the Corpor- ation and the citizens. The North side of the town is, as we all know, being rapidly built up with two and three story wooden buildings, The streets are not like those of the main town—of which we re so justly proud, They are not a hun- dred feet wide, and they do not run at icht angles. They are mere lanes, nar- ,w and askew—somewhat in the same

6. Gd eT a } | nerous streams which, owing to the solt| ture of the formation, have cut down al-| st to the sea level soon after leaving their urees. In the 44 miles between Summers

| side and Royalty Junction, two summits, 301

and 307 feet above the sea respectively, have | to be ecressed. These summits are eight miles apart, and between them the line de- scends to within 65 feet of the sea level. Severa! minor summits between 160 and 190 feet high, are encouutered on this and the Eastern divigion, while the line, in several places, fallp’ cwithin a fow feet of high water. In the first fucy tiles-out of Souris, the line rises 220 feet. The frequent and abrupt changes in the natural surface necessitated constant curves and gradients, unless works were undertaken which would be considered exceptionally heavy on any line, and such as were quite out of the question under a limit- ation of $16,222 per mile.”

Mr. Boyd continues—

«Tt will be seen by Mr. Swinyard’s synop- sis that afier all 132 miles, or two-thirds of the length, consists of straight lines. If a large proporiion is on gradients, this was unavoidable except by increasing the quan- tities of work or lengthening the line. The legal limitation in cost per mile prevented the first, the total cost of the Railway would have been increased by the second alternas tive. The elevation of the Road bed above the natural surface is, in my ¢piaioi, a point ef seficient impor ance to warranl ar ins crease of gradientin several cases; this was kept in view, and has been effecied, 140 miles of the line being on embankment and only 60 incutting. It should also be borne in mind that this is a narvow guage Railway, and thatit is claimed by the advocates of that system that the smaii cost of construcs tion is arrived at by adapting the alignment t> the natural surace of the country, by the use of sharper and more frequent curves than are almissabte, or at least expedient, ona broader guage.

‘* The limits adopted on other lines of the same class, have not been exceeded or even arrived at. The Australian railways have curves of 330 feet radius, and grades of 132 feet per mile; the Norwegian Railways, curves of 750 feet radius, and grades of 125 feet per mile; the Ontario Railways, curves of 400 feet radius, and grades of 105 feet per mile; and the South American Railways, curves of 187 and 235 feet radius, and grades cf 169 feet per mile. Gradients of 70 and 75 feet per mile are not uncommon in the neigh- boring Provinces.

«“ On the P. E. Island Railway, the steepest gradient is 66 feet per mile, with the e-cep- tion of ene near Souris of 74 feet per mile, and the radius of the sharpest curve 604 feet, with the exception of one curve of 300 feet radius at Harmony, and one of 573 feetradius near Charlottetown. The exceptional cuive and gradient on the Eastern Extension ave necessitated by the natural formation, and are unavoidable.”

Mr. Boyd quotes the Report of Messrs. Newtou and Mechan, Civil Engineers of New York. In this Report it is distinct- ly stated—

«* While it was possible to have sorun the Railway, that its total length between the termini, would have been, say in the neigh- borhood of five miles less than itis, yet that this could not have been done, witfovtins creasing the cost per mile to asum greacer than the limit fixed by the Railway Act.”

Messrs. Newton and Mechan declare, further— «« Neitherdo our observations point out to

us that the main line could, under any cir- cumstances, be much Jess in length than it is; certainly not, unless at @ greater ex- penditure than that fixed by the Railway Act.”

Finally, as a climax to his defence, Mr. Boyd quotes the words of Mr. Swinyard's first Report to the Dominion Govern-

ment,—

« Although the line is very circuitous, 7/ is undoubiedly well laid out lo serve the gen- eneral inieresls of the country.”

Mr Boyd replies, seriatim, to Mr. Swinyard’s remarks, criticisms, and stric- tures on clearing, feoe'ng, grading, cul- verts and drains, bridges, public crossings, private or farm crossings, sleepers o: ties, ballasting,rails, station buildiags, wharves, rolling stock, passenger service eara, fre'ght cars, ete. All these, bowever, siak into insignificance when compared with the matter of “sidings ’’-—the def- c’eoey in which Mr. Sw ovard estimates ab no smeller figure than $65,000. In his report Mr. Swiasard sazs :—

mate that the deficiency will not be iess than 30,000 cubic yards which, at the prices fixed in the schedule, wou'd amount toa loss in value of abont $15,000.”

Mr. Boyd replies :—

“The drawings of the track show the centre depth of the ballast to be 12 inches, the rounding of the grading briuging up the average cross section depth to 15 inches, which wiih au average width of 9 feet (3 feet top and 10 feet boitom) gives the contract quantity of 220u cabic yards pet mile. Over 96 1-4 miles, Mr. Swiay i makes a mean centre depth of 10 1-2 inches, which would give an average depth of 13 | 2inches. By Mr. Swinyasd’ sown measurement the aver- age width ef the ballast on this partof the line is 9 1-2 feet, instead of 9 feet, and this, multiplied by 13 1-2 inches, will give 2090 cubie yards per mile, or a total deficiency of 10,587 cubie yards, instead of 40,000, and the value of which at the scheduls prices, would be less than $5,009, instvad of “about $15,-

0002’ Three quarters of 49 inch in depth would make vp this deficiency, and I do not believe that, with the best inten:ione, the

depths could be measuied as closely as that. In many cases, the ballast «aiffers bat little in appearance from the materalin the cut- ting or embankment. in othe.s, ia orderto save the best ballast as much a possible fir the top lift I had a shallow bottum lift of somewhat inferior materia! run on.

loffered thesa facts in explanation, but as Mr. Riduut dec'ined to receive them, I did not press the matter, feeling confident that the contract quantity of ballast had been put ontheliag. The pit msesuremeu's showa large excess, and though pari ef this may have been vsed to‘ makeup’ ¢mbankments the marginis sullample. On the remaiuing distance of 102 miles, Mr Sw uyard’s measure- ments would show an excé:> of about 36,.90 cubic yards over the contract quaniuy. This, to my miud, caly proves how impcssibie it wasfor him to arrive at a correct estimate of the quantily actually on ihe line.”

For ‘ties’ or sleepers—the deficiency in which Mr. Swinyard estimates at $8,- 760, and respecting which Mr. Boyd ex- plains :—

“As regards the size of the s'eepers,I had,, long prier to Mr. Swinsyard’s first visit, drawn Mr. Gregory's atieution, both verbally and by letter, to their de‘iciency in this respect. I pointed them cut to Mr, Swinyard myself, and informed him my ivtsntion to bave the mtier put right, before the line was taken off the coatractors’ hauds, Owing to disputes about the goverswent inspection, the nature cf whies Lreporied to you in my letter of 6th of Oviober Jas‘, thers was some difficulty io get:ing the c-clrac'_rs to carry out wy orders, but in the fai. mest cf the sleepers were removed cr suppismented by an extra pumber. To cover 20) remaining deliciency, I required toa contractors to deliver 1,600 additinaal sie-pers. aod I have deducted $400.00 from ime final cstimate to cover .he cost of putting tbem into the track.

In respect to the nivister per mile, 1 must re.tterara tbe steteoveut »seady mace, that, when I wrere (m2 spectiies ion ior the trunk hae, Tjuteudad tee comber ‘about 2,500’ to inciude gp alloweuve fur yiGivgs. To cover the weu of oiorwatca, and to avoid any chasee of exiva cizias, I deemeu it prudent to wake all allowavces as iull as possible. The eleuss was so explained te pa‘ties who asked for ivforwation and thoroughly vnder- stood. Tb deawing of the track showing 2.200 jes. the mie, was sub-equestly pre- pared in my office, and sent to the contrac- ors, and that number was used as ihe basis of the scbeduie quantity. I never had any intestion of requiring 2,500 ties ger mile in the main line. In the specificat-oa for the braoco Jine, a drawing previousiy prepared was veferred to, aod ihe avmper 2 200 per mile, shown by that drawing, was therefore given. About this there could be no m-sun. derstanding.

The cases are quite diss'wlar, and will not bear the analogy Mr. Swivyard seeks to establish between thew. Apart from the fair presumpiion ibet { know ibe meaning | intended the disputed‘e!wuse to convey, the

contract makes my dees oa final “ oa ali questions in dspuie wiih regaed to the meanipg or inivepretations of plans and

specifications.” 1 do nutac nit aoy detiviency in the number of s'eepses, beyond that pro- vided for by the steppzys on the final estimate.

The rewa‘n'vg ‘vems }u which Mr. Swin- yard esti wvtes that the ra‘lway is not up to covtraet specification, are cf compara. tively Hitle woment. Mr. Beyd, how- éve?, ue squacely, He bos shuwn that Mr. Swinyard had no valid ressou for aeceptiog the ra‘lroad ‘under protest ;’ that the ‘ deficiencies’ he est:mated, do not, for the most part, exist; andthat those which do exist were either not provided for in the contract or sums soffvient to “make them good” hare been deducted from the amount of the contract iu the fius! settle- ment. The cle'w tor $100,567 which Mr. Swinyard laboriously trumped up, wil! not, of course, be admitted, even for amoment. Every day it is being de. monstrated that the railway is a good railway—qu'te vs good as our people ex- pected for the money expended in its

RAILWAY TARIFF.

Tue freight tariff of the Railway has been lowered a little on car loads, We trust that it will, before long, be lowered cons siderably on every descciption of freight. The earnings of the road, are now, we understand, between five and six hundred dollars per day. According to Mr. Swinv yard’s estimate, $40 per day will more than cover all working expenses. Let the taritt be lowered ashalf, and freights will, we believe, more than double, Let ‘ return tickets, be issued on certain conditions, and many more persons will travel by rail than at present. ‘he following is a table of freight rates, issued last week :-—

OUR FISHERIES,

The Canadian public is still in ignorance of what the Mackenzie Government are doing with a view to obtaining renumeras tion from the United States for their par- ticipation in our fisheries. From the re- port of the Minister of Marine and Fisher- ies, we learn that the value of the fisheries of Canada in 1874 amounted to $11,681,886, an increase of nearly a million dollars over the figure ot the previous year. The fol- lowing table shows the value of the fisher- ies of each Province for the years 1873 and 1874, respectively :—

MISCELLANEOUS, —

A conflagaration in Peshawur leaves 15, 000 persons homeless,

A manifesto from Prince Napoleon in favor of the Republic and in opposition to the restoration of the Empire will soon be published,

The Paris Monileur says, England in favoring peace, has naturally recovered her just authority and influence in Continental affairs.

It is alleged that the principal in the late conspiracy against Bismarck is named Ara nim, and he has been arrested in Cracow, A delegation of pilgrims waited on the Pope, 13th inst., and congratulated him on the attainment of the 85th anniversary of his birth.

The Papal Nuncio has made 4 formal des mand for the restoration of Catholic unity in Spain, and the Government has replied that it will mantain the liberty of worship. In a collision on April 4th, off the coast of Syria, between the Uhinese steamship Fu Sing, and the British steamship Ocean, the former foundered almost instantly, with the loss of fifty lives.

Hon. Mr. Huntiagton has entered an action against the proprietors of La Minerve to recover $50,000 in damages, owing to slanders, as alleged, published against him in that journal. The “ Journal la Voice Della Verita,” of Rome has been suspended for publishing the Pope’s address to the German pilgrims. Count de Chambord declares he still has hope that a monarchy will be re-established in France. Priests imprisoned in Posen and nei boring towns have been released and inform- ed that their evidence with regard to the alleged administration of a Diocese by a

Papal delegate is no longer required by the government,
