Tue discussion before the Epworth

been very gratifying to the prometers of
the proposed Free Public Library.
little was eaid im opposition to the pro
posal, and that little was evidently for the sake of the argument ; wh it may be | loubted whether, if the town were search- el. a much better committee could have
been struck for the
the matter, and reporting upon 4 feasible plan of procedure. That there are ques tons to be asked and anewere j,and diffi- culties in the way to be overcome, need hardly’ be stated. If the best books

Legislative Library which even yet Cor

books, is Ightest and

the Legi-lative Library, taking advantage of the excellent books yet to be found there, the careful and highly efficient 1i-
brarian and the abundant room which may be found in the Legislative Council Cham ber, not long ago vacanted by their box- ors of the upper house, and adding thereto a cuffisient number of carefally selected books to render it attractive, useful and creditable as well to the proviace as to the eity. We cannot. imagine that. members of the legisia- ture residing in the country cotfll have any objection tosucha plan of mutual co-operation. Certainly the careful and ‘ontinuous study of good books is essen- tial to the mental culture and intel’ectual advancement of the people. If the estab- lishment of a free-public library will con- tribute towards this study we ought. if possible, to work towards that end. The report of the library committee will be awaited with interest.

NOTES ANDO COMMENTS.
—An Islander recently returned from Boston says that people her: have ro idea of the hard times prevaijing there.
—Tnhe Government Lave done well not to delay the public business in anticipation of a settlement of the Maaitoba question by Mr. Greenway. Exp-rience bas prov- ed that it is not safe to depend pon that fox. The fact that he has decided te come to a conference would, however, s-eim to imply that he has at last made up his mind to treat—or perhaps he only wants to kill time for Mr. Laurier.
—Weare in receipt to-day of the Penny Magazine, published in Philadelphia, con- taiuihg sixty -page:,- about fifty of which are purely literary matter, and sold for five cents per copy.. We quote the follow- ing highly poetical quartrain :
r ; IN A WOOD.
Calm Night has come—the forest aisles are dim
With hushful sound of Nature’s Vesper bymn, ,
And mystic shadows veil the leafy sod
Where Fancy walks, with Dreamland san-
dals ehol.”
If tne quality of the prose may be gaug- ed by this poetical gem, the Penuy Maga- zine is certainly worth having.
—The Guardian quoted the Interpreta- tion Act to prove that the word “may” in a statute may be permissive,—but left out of sight the exception specifically made in the tirst section, which applies to the word “may” referred to in. the Manitoba Act. The Guardian now plead; that “the rea- son is that no words imporcant or other- wise of the section in quegtion were left out.” This isa truly pitiful evasion. By the way, will the Guardiaa kindly pab lish the petition of the Roman Catholics, in which are sets forth the grounds of the appeal which the Lords of the Privy Coun- cil say was “well founded.” This is the tuird time of asking.
James Dale a prominent Manitoba lib- eral, write: tothe Free Press thie sugges— tion in regard to the settlenfent of the echool question : Let us call a represen‘a- tive meeting of both Roman Carholics and Protestant restlents of the province of M snit oba to meet in the city of Winnipeg, such meejing to consist of one representa: tive’ from each school district. (Catholic
aud Protestant) in the province, a trustee
‘rom each district would likely be the best, as we require all the principal knowledge we can get of the subject. By
this means we can find out what our Rom- an Catholic friend: would be willing to take and what we could reasonably graot. From sach asourcelam quite certain the Government of Manituba would give reasonable considerat:on. Such a meeting would be non-political, nor partisan and likely to result in much good to our pro- vinee aul show tlie rest of the Dominion, and to tie outside world, for wofortunately it has attracted wide notice, that we were united.in the best interests of our pio vince. If some settlement could be brought about.it wou'd give such an im- ~— to immigration as nothing else would

that bas gath-
the Coun-
Ti. larees audi _ Tue largest audience
ered within the precincts of cil Chamber in recent years assembled last evening. All the seats in the audi-
torium were occupied, the aisle and out- both fillel, and in the
side hall were elerk’s office and within the bar there were assembled many more. Everyone
would transact business.
It wanted a few minutes of eight o’clock when Mayor Dawson took his place and for order. Finance Minister Nich
Councillor Douse as his right hand man. Councillor Tavlor filled the seat on the Opposite cort er. and Councillor Johnson sat beside him, in the seat recently oceu pied by Council'or Tanton. Councillor Horne filled the seat which Councillor Douse formerly occupied, and Councillors Hughes, Hooper and McCarron held down their old desks.
The minutes having been adopted and the bills disposed of, Mayor Dawson ad dressed the Board.
“I desire,” said His Worship, “to make
a few observations at this, the first regular meeting of the new Council. I ought perhaps to eay first,
that I highly appreciate the honor that my fellow townsmen have conferred upon me
| in again electing me, by such a large vote,
to the honorable position of Mayor for another term of two years; and I would welcome to the Council, those members who, with myself, have been honored with a renewal of the confidence of their respec tive wards, but especially do I welcome the new Councillors to a seat at the Coun- cil board, and earnestly hope that their presence wil! not only sustain but add to the dignity and efficiency of the Couucil.
“Tn the few remarks which I had the honor to make to the outgoing council, as published in the report of last year, I was led to say, that ‘should the ordinary ex- penditure of the past year be not exceeded in 1896, it could be met by a tax of {the of l per cent.’
“I find that the revenue during the past 3 years has met the outlay in all depart- ments of the civic service, while providing for a liberal expenditure ov street works, considerably in excess of some previous years, and shown a surplus during the same period, of $8,917.37. Deducting from this amount the uncollected taxes, viz. $1,343.3', there has been collected from the ratepayers duriog the 3 years, the sum of $7,574.06 more than the city’s require- ments, to wh'ch should be added $3,000.00 whart debentures redeemed, making a total excess of $10,754.06.
“Tt would appear to me that this st te of things is undesirable, and Iam unable to conceive of any good reason why a levy should exceed the estimated expenditure that may, after careful consideration by the Council, be considered ample to meet all rejuirements, Unless sume unfore- seen state uf things should occur the ex- penditure by a rigid and continuous super- vision can be kept within the estimates,
“I presume it will not be the intention of the Council to increase the expenditure in any department, unle¢s it may bein that for streets and highways in the shape of what is called permanent work, such as mecadamizing or asphalting, work which if properly done is supposed to last 15 or 20 years, and it may be worth considering whether a lesser sum might not be spent upon what is termed ‘maintenance of streets,/ and a correspondingly larger amount in macadamizing and in asphalt sidewalks.
“Light and street work is about all the ratepayer sees as adirect return for the taxes he pays, and I wou'd suggest that the macadamizing done upon the streets during the past two years, be not only continued, but, with adue regard to the tax payer and the needs of the city, should be extended, and that, at the same time, a little more attention be given to the street drain crossings.
“However good ¢ roadway be made, it calls for constant supervision. No ruts or holes should be permitted. It is eaid by engineers that ‘no street paving, whether asphalt or macadam, will re- main in good condition unless constant repairs are made. Asp alt and ma:a am r_qniri: g more care than grunite.’
“Coming to the question of revenue and expenditure, and in support of my opinion that iths of 1 percent. will yield sufficient in addition tothe other sources of rev- enue to meet the requirements of 1896, I submit as follow-:
REVENUE.
Taking the ordinary revenue of last year we have.....ceces-ses- $ 9,382.27

9,530.60
PMatcine e tittal 6.6 0. cceiinieecose- - $52,857.15
Showing a surplus on the year of $11.58, and in addition, to cover anv contingencies, you have the surplus of last year, viz., $3,281.07.
“In the estimated expenditure there is the sum of $5,600 for macadamizing. It is worthy of consideration whether this amount for permanent street work, instead of being chargeable in one year, as in the past, should not be met by borrowing on debenture issue redeemable in sums of $1,000 00 yearly, commencing say Ist July, 2000, and on the I-t July yearly afterwards until the whele be paid off, thus by a temporary borrowing spreading the amount over a series of years and at the same time not increasing the perman- ent debenture debt of the city.
“Should it be considered advisable; to horrow inthis form for macadamizing the 7-3 of one per cent. would include the water debenture sinking fund.
“In my calculatiin you will observe that [have not takin into account the water debenture sinking fund, which, of course, has to be met by a special as-ess— ment as provided by the Water Works Ac’—} of | per cent. meets the require- ment.
“Some little effort to clean the streets and yards has been made during the past two years. Itisonly a beginning, how-
ever; much remains to be done before we ean pride ourselves upon having a clean city, and I hail with satisfaction the ap- pointment of a Sanitary Committee, of which Councillor Dr. Johnson man, and I have no doubt but that a strict supervision of the duties of the Sanitary Officer will result in a more effi- cient enforcement of the sanitary laws of the cily, which in several respects call for additional provisions.
“The necessity for a re-survey and plan of the city is becoming more apparent every vear; old landmarks are being con- stantiy removed and an accurate survey made more difficult. Applications to define street lines are repeatedly made by property owners, and, in many cases, no definite or au horitative line can be given. The con- sequence is that, in many instances, there is a coming out beyond what is believed to be the street line, and we have here a re- petition of the zigzag appearance of most of the streets,
“I am sure it goes without saying that without grades and levels Seing firet had to continue permanent street work is not the act of wise men.
“J find that during the past 4 years in addition to the city surveyor’s salary, $1,351 has been paid for preparing plans and superintending city works. Were a competent engineer appointed there wv ould be no necessity for # repetition of this class of expendisure, and although such an official would require asalary commensurate with the qualification and servive, still the work would be better and more = ecientiti- cally done, and comparing values with the apparent increased cost, would really be but a small advance, if any upon the present outlay. The work of preparing @ plan of the city would be- come a part of the duty of such engineer.
“In the matter of the Park Roadway, it is not necessary that I should say any- thing beyond expressing the belief that in a very chort time a satisfactory basis will be reached, and further litigation rendered needless. : is
“Without expressing an Opinion upon any item in the expenditure of the City Schoo! Board, it may be deemed worthy of notice that the amount required by the Board is gradually growing larger, as, for instances, | find the amount has increased from $9,173.32 in 1880 to $10,750,00 in 1896, being 324 per cent, or nearly one- third of the taxes levied for a!l purposes.
“I will not occupy your attention fur ther. My one object in these remarks has been to bring before you matters which I thought might be deemed worthy of con sideration and a desire to assist your de- liberations in perfecting méasurss which to me appear to have an important bearing in the improvement of, and carrying .on, the civic government.”
Applications were then read for the position of sanitary officer from Thos. Desmond, George Beair-to, Henry Eid- moods und David Byers in the order named.
On motion of Councillor N cholson, seconded by Councillor Douse, A.N. Large was appointed chief of thefire department, and Councillor Hooper and Charles Her- mans first and second assistants respect ively.
Councillor Taylor moved that Chief Engineer Large receive $150 a year and Mr. Hermans $50. Councillor Hooper seconded the motion, which carried.
Councillor McCatron was excused from voting on this motion.
Councillor Nicholson them moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Councillor Johnson :
Whereas, The Councildeem it inexpedient and undesirable to resort to litigation in order to establish the cluims and secure to the city of Charlottetowu a settlement of all the questions involved in dispute in re the Park roadway;
Therefore Resolved, That His Worship the Maror and three members of this Council be appointed a committee to wait on the Hon. Fred. Peters, Premier of the Province, for the purpose of consulting him as to the necessarv — to be taken in order to effect such legislation during the coming sess.oa of the Provincial Leg- islature as may be deemed alvisable for the reconveying, revesting aad securing to the citv of Charlottetown euch right, title and interest tothe said Park roadway as will warrant the corporation to appropria‘e moneys for the construction of said road with the least possible delay and the com— mittee to report at a special meeting.
Councillor Hughes asked if it was the intertion tocancel the appeal to Oita- wa? He thought it would be unwire to do this, as the appcal acted like a whip on the Government. While he would like to see the matter settled he could not see what could be done by waiting on the premier new.
Ceuncillor Nicholeon explained that the mayor, with himself and Councillor Tay- lor, had already had an informal interview with the premier on the subject, and he expressed himse'f as willing to give 60 or 70 feet of the land as a compromise. He thought the Government would back up the premier’s promise. He did not bel’e.e the citizens wanted them to spend money On an appeal to Ottawa if a fatis- fac'ory arrangement could be made with the Government. If a satisfactory com- promite were not made the right of appeal still existed. The people should have the roadway.
Councillor Taylor agreed with what had been said by Councillor Nicholson. He believed the premier would keep his pro- mise. TLey were not backing down from the appeal.
Councillor Hughes was opposed to giv- ing the committee power to do away with the right of appeal.
The Mayor pointed out that the right of —_ would still exist. He had not the slightest doubt but the premier would keep his promise. In fa the might say tl at the purport of tle reso'ution met with the approval of the premier.
Councillor Horne thought they should have more information than they had res- pecting the roadway. Its cost should be carefully considered,and great care should be exercised in the matter of an appeal to Ottawa. Hedid not think the Cou ncil was in a position to spend $8,000 or $10,- 000 on a breastwork fiom which many citizens would hardly ever derive any bene- fit. He thought the committee should get a promise fromthe goverament to- wards defraying the cost of erection. The Council might pay one third of the cost, the government one third and the citizens by private eubscription, one third.
Councillor Douse believed that both Provincial and Dominion Governments should pay a share of the co-t. The com- mittee should ask both Governments what they wonld do.
Counci'lor Nicholson b lieved the citi- zens wauted the roadway st once. They were coniplaining about the delays that had already taken place. Everyone appre- ciates the park, especially during the sum- mer months. He was satisfied that aid in the cost of construction would come from more sources than one, and he felt sure
the citizens would not be called upon to pay move than one-third.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously, and Councillors Johnson and Douse, with the Mayor, were nominated members of the committee.
Councillor McCarron moved the follow-

Orrawa, March 11.
In the House of Commons Sir Charles Tupper said that since answering the ques- tion asked a few days ago by the member for North Simcoe, Mr. McCarthy, the fol- lowing telegram had been received by Sir Donald Smith :
Wiysirec, March 2.
“Your telegram has rece:ved the most careful consideration of myself and col- leagues. While fully appreciating all you cay, it is quite clearto usthat we can only proceed to Ottawa for the purpose of helping a conference upon the official in- vitation of the Dominion Government. 1 fully appreciate your very kind cflice in this matter.
(Signed) “GREENWAY.”
_In yiew of the assurance that the Gov ernment of Manitoba are willing to have a conference, the Goyernment proposes, so soon as the second reading is carried, to have a conference with Mr. Greenway’s Government with a view to arriving at a settlement of this question on terms that wil) be satisfactory to his Government and thé minority of Manitoba. But in the meantime it is desirable, in the interests of the Government, to proceed with the qttestion before the House as_ previously arranged.
NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.
Some Hope of Settlement Debate Will a ‘Be Shortened,

Yesterday was a day of surprises. The atinouncement that Mr. Greenway is to be invited to Ottawa lets in a ray of hope that the school question will be settled. Iadeed in the lobbies the general impres sion is that at last solid ground has been reeched and that this troublesome ques~ tion may soon be a thing of the past. Sir Charles Tupper’s announcement is cal- culated to shorten the present debate. With reference to the Chignecto Marine Railway, itis said that an effort will be male to restore the Billto the order peper.
