bil hird question is, perhaps, the most ull. Life without health is t worth having. If people find that the
not healthy they will go away and tay away—they will be wise in so doing— ind the town cannot grow or prosper. The ince of the healthfui conditions of ywn is, therefore, of the first importance. lt is needless to say that there should be greater care about the cleansing of yards and privies—aye, even of our streets. Much more could easily be done in this re- gard than has been done. Apart, altogether from the decision which may be arrived at concerning sewerage, the work of the sca- venger, ts and will continue to be a prime necessity. As to sewerage we have this to say : (1) Either the sewage wells should be stopped or the wells from which poor people draw water to drink should be clos- ed ; (2) means must be taken to get rid of the overflow of water which comes into th town from the Three Mile Run,—it must not be permitted to bocome stagnant and to putrify in large quantities in the’ cesspouls of our back.yards. As to a system of sewer- age, we must first of all obtain data con- cerning the plan upon which it is to be con- structed and the probable cost; as to sewage wells we should know definitely, as soon as possible, whether or not they are, or are likely to prove to be, sources of danger to the public health.
To deal with the important questions to which we have referred, prudent, expevi- enced business men are, first of all, needed.

by Dun, Wiman & Co. This year there were only 66 failures in Nova Scotia, with liabilities of $469,000, against 126 failures last year, with liabilities of $1,300,000. Chis is the smallest number of failures and the smallest liabilities in Nova Scotia’s his- tory. In 1875 we had 243 failures, with liabilities of $2,750,000, and in 1979, 187 failures, with liabilities of $2,164,000. Halifax building operations this year ex- seeded $500,000. The customs collections are $1,645,000, a decrease cf $117,000. here are 12,421 names on the Dominion voters’ list this year, an increase of 16,431. antes
Drunkenness in and About Town.
1 }
Sir,—I noticed a short time ago, a statement made by the Rev. D. D. Moore, that intemperance during the last eighteen months has been on the increase. To be accounted for by the fact that the Seott Act has been comparatively inoperative ; the public’ prosecutor having been dis- nissed, and the City Marshal, who has been twice suspended for drunkenness, ap- pointed to do his work. Mr. Moore made s statement as to the number of drunken people to be met with on market days on the great thoroughfares leading from town, and was taken to task by the Editor of the Guardian, who, with strange logic, went for his illustrations to the old days of riot- ing under the licence system. He also cited the testimony of a person claiming to be one of Mr. Moore’s congregation, who had seen but one drunken man on the road for a_ length of time. This gentleman does not appear to see double when looking through his glasses. The Guardian, however, patronizingly re- inarks that what Mr. Moore says may be worthy of consideration. We have a grave matter before us. If, as the Guardian in- timates, intemperance is on the decrease, riow that the law against the sale of liquor is almost a dead letter, let the temperance workers have a rest, and the assumptions and deductions must be that if non-combat- ted, it will, of itself, die out. But, Sir, judging from all sources of evidence, and by direct observation, one cannot be un- aware that the increase of drunkenness amongst us is a terrible reality, and it is of no purpose to close our eyes and pronounce a contrary judgment. [ have under- stood that two of our clergymen, returning from the country the even- ing before last, had a narrow escape from the violence of four men rendered blasphemous and ruffianly by drink, and tbat on the last market day fifty drunken persons were counted within the distance of five miles from town, on one of our country roads. These facts we feel to be degrading, but our highest wisdom is t» bring them to the light and let them have their practical bearing on those who have the great interest of the people at heart. With regard to the city, criticism is reed- less, the evidences of gravitation are 1ani- fold. Lux.
