zens. This couneilnfter giving the mut< terngreat dcni of serious conslderai-ion decided that *before anything definite could be arrived rit it would bo necessary to have the report of eoinpctexitciigineofs. We therefore entered into nn agreement with The Deland Eng. i2o.,Toronto, to fur- nish estimates, plans, specifications etc. for botii writer and steam power. In the month of August nn engineer from this Co. visited Winter River stream and after having inside careful tests decided there was not sufficient waterfortlie purposes. In the month of October another engineer from the same company visited the streains at Oole's Mills, Hunter River, New Glasgow
, and Morell. After making various tests
he reported inter on not any of' the places were suitable, in fact there was not any stream available for the purpose, there- fore we did not give city llglitlng `by water power any further consideration.
During the engineer’s stay here,he visit-
ed severnl locations in the city suitable for u power house, etc., nnd from liin 1-e~ porthc, beyond any doubt, recommends electric lighting by steinn power. He also visited the prqscnt electric light power house and gas works and afterrcceiving nil available iiiforinntion possible has given us his report which I consider very satisfactory. I hope the subject will be submitted to ii pleiiescite votc,as it is purely a inatf-er for the citizens to decide. In the meantime all available information

to your notice are those olijectionahlc fences and posts plai-.ed in front of tli_c residences of inany citizens for the pro» teetlon (so enilcd) of the grass. Whilst I think it only right that n reasonable time

Such things should not he tolerated in ii modern city like ours.
It has been broughtlto the notice of

In the early part of the year we lost by
death Councillor MaoDoneld,n gentleman who always took an active port in civic matters. In the month of June the citi- zens of Charlottetown were shocked to learn of the unexpected death of Chief Heminns of the Fire Departrnent.
In the iiiontli of May nt the suggestion of the Council I attended thc Antbtubereul- one Association at ,otmwiu ii society that is doing' n great deal of good by the dissernlniiting of literature on the subject as well as _having lectures delivered throughofili the provinces. You have al' ready received my report ami! nope with- in tllo prellnt year A branch of this so~ eiety wiilbt established lnChei-lotfnmwn. At tile' hilt civic election the: council, if not actually pledged gave the impression tothe iiieetoi-sthat they wen-c favorable' to eivro'aw_iisri\1ip of sity' limiting. Don. eidordble discussion since than has token plane tlmfdih the press and li! l-|10 0101-
expire there will be n. suitable building erected. °
During the past yenr the new market
building has been completed and al- though the cost has been far in advance of the original estlniate, it stands today, not only an ornnmeiit to the city and pro- vince, but will Ibciieve in a short time provcto be a good paying investments I hope the council will seo its wny clear to have the basement completed this winter nnd ready for occupancy in the early spring. I would also suggest an additional stairway or fire escape from the main hall in case of accident.
The old market shack in the month of
September was removed nnd the material used for the erection of a hulldingon Pownal wharf, for storing city imple~ ments, etc., and the making of concrete.
It is certainly very gratifying to me as I
am sure it is to the Council to know our revenue has been in excess of expenditure

of the city after the past yenrfs business. l{e`hnd accepted the position of- Ciiairnian of thc Fiiiniice Conunittee with some re- luctance as tliclnte City Clerk was just then severing his connection with the city.
In years gone by thc city had annual deficits but in recent years deficits are ii thing of thc past-. This' yi-nr again we have n. surplus of $400.02, nnd only a sninll balance of nncollectcd taxes which even yet wi.l be nearly all secured. The city was foi-tunatein securing as City Clerk, Mr. Clarke who has done _everything possible for tho good of the city. Mr. Vaniderstine also received a word of' praise for his admirable work in collecting.
A nlinck had been placed on Pownal Wharf ata cost of $320 which was un~ estimated nnd also $401 not estimated for public \\'orks. For School 1}oard,tlie grant was $1,000 more than a yenr before and thiais still ii_icrensing‘. An amount not estimated was paid for a report on electric lighting and $500 for consolidating laws will not have to bengain paid.
'lilo city is today in as good n. position
as ever in its history.
A better ttrrangenieiit than ever before
has been nindc with the llunks. In ‘fsali-, of debentures the dcninnd was niiich in excess ol` tho supply n.nd one above par was paid for them :ind cvcn more may yet lic realized. A prominent liiiiikcr limi recently told iilin Clinriottctoivn security was second to none in Can.'.da.
The burning of the Old market was ii
blessings in disguise. Now we lind our which will compare favorably with nny in Canada. He eulogised the work of thc eoiitriietors of the building. Tho new Market will give n clear revenue of at ]enst $2000 n year. We can cstabiislia sinking fund of $1000 n year to pny ofl` ihe debentures.
Speaking of thc Light & Power Cc.,
Ltd., lie agreed with the Mayor that the nearest way to nrrive nl. nt a decision was to submit the matter to a plcbiscitc of the citizens.
Conn. Paton submitted his report
which was a lengthfand compreliensive oneof which ii synopsis will appear to- morrow.
It was unanimously adopted.
the Police Committee which he pointed out showed an improvement in many re- spects over the previous year. The re- ceipts were $4,197.15 and the .expenditure $5088.11. In Prohibitioii fines $.'l8ti6.53 was collected and $1460.00 paid over to the Gpvernmeat,

During thc year the Light and Power
Co. submitted s. proposition to instnl ii new system of lamps namely the enclosed Arc. system, this at an additional cost to
ted by the Council. The Company has
liowever, installed at its own expense one
circuit of about twenty-five lamps with the new system, and those give general satisfaction. In the Arc Light system interruptions liavc occurred and must be expected, the ehicf cause however is the open Arc lump which is admitted by all to he out of date. The Council has taken up the question of municipal ownership and havelhad a report of the probable cost of A Light plant submitted by a conipct- ent engineer. The cstimnto covers the cost of a street lighting plant. also a pliiiil for comincrciiil and domestic rlighting. The report was miidc public in the City press. and it is the intention of the Council to call a meeting of Citizens at an early date. Tlit total cost of City lighting for the year has been $5fiti7 oil while there was $103.85 collected from the company for interruptions.
