OCTOBER 12, 1885 Lighting the Streets

*“ Wuat about street lighting? ” a cor respondent asks. The question will be discussed at the meeting of the City Council, be held this evening. We shall soon see whether our City Fathers ‘will move The terms upon which the electric light can be obtain ed are, so far, private; but we may assume that the City Council will not in- volve the Corporation in expense ap- previably greater than that to which we are now put for gas lamps; for, although the electric hight is undoubtedly better,

fo

or not

we cannot afford to pay much more for it than we are pow paying for the lights we now have. The Corporation is poor and cannot afford to indulge’ in luxuries,while necessaries, such as water are

costly

works, tire appliances, etc.. etc.,

wanting.

Further, it may be assumed that the Council will provide for the contiouauce of the electric light; for ouce introduced the Electric Light

Company will probably supersede the Charlottetown Gas Light Company. If the Gas Compauy lose the contract for lighting the streets, they may go down ; and asit is not right that the City should be exposed io the eventuality of total darkness, the City Council should be fully assured, before trausferring the ract, that the electric light will come here to stay.

in most of the cities enjoying the advantage of electric light, there are stone or brick sidewalks. not narrow plaokways, some of them rotten or half rotten; there are also waterworks, affording an abundant supply of water for fire and domestic purposes—not old- fashioned wooden pumps and water- carts; there are also electric fire alarms and a fire service equipped with sub- stautial appliances and modern facilities — not rotten hose, and half furnished engine houses, ete. In short the necessities of the Corporation were, iu most cities, obtaived before the luxury of electric light was introdaced.

But it may, on the other hand, with a good*deal of force, be urged that the new light will bring into greater relief our present defects and perhaps cause our citizens to require that streets, sidewalks, water supply, ete. shall be bronght into consistency with it. The proposition of Mr. Starr is, we believe, to supply thirty-six electric lights, giving 43 200

con

is

candles power, in the _ place of one hundred and twenty-seven gas lamps, giving 1,520 candies power;

and if assured that this will be dope year after year coutinuously at a cost not very much greater than we are now pay- ing forthe lighting of the streets, and

if above all, the new light will make clearer our civic wants and be the meaus of having them supplied, the proposition is undoubtedly one for favurable consideration. sciatica Cardinal McCloskey. CarpinaL McCriosxery, of whose

death we were advised by telegraph on Saturday, was a remarkable man, and his death is greatly regretted by people of all denominations. About a fortnight ago the Cardinal was confined to his bed, but haviog no specific complaint, ro serious consequences were «nticipated. His regular medical adviser was called io. Atter an examination he expressed the opinion that his venerable patient could not be restored by the arts of medi- cine. Rest and a special regimen, he said, could alone benefit the aged prelate. This course was adopted, but without any bene- ficial results. The Cardinal gradually succumbed to the inevitable, and on Friday peacefully entered into rest. The Cardinal was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., upwards of seventy years ago. His career since has been a remarkable one. At the early age of twenty-four he was ordained a priest and his work was priocipally among the poor and lowly. In the thirty-first year of his age he became, by natural selection, a college president. At thirty four he was con- secrated a Bishop; at fifty-four he became Archbishop, and at sixty-four h« ceached the summit of the devout Catholic’s ambition—the Cardinalate Some two years ago he celebrated his golden jubilee, or the fiftieth aniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. His jurisdiction was exceedingly large, em- bracing upwards of one hundred and seventy parishes, containing some six

hundred thousand souls. Archbishop Corrigan, the Cardinal's Coadjutor

Bishop, will probably succeed him in the Archiepiscopate,

The Sub-way.

Waiting to the American Journal of Railway Appliances Ed. B. Meatyard, C. E., says:

‘*The sub-way across Northumberland Straits is one of the most daring schemes I have ever heard of. The idea of laying a tube 15’ diameter, 10,000 long, on piers, from 30° to 40° high, above the bed of the water-way, in an ebb tidal current and a northeasterly wind, is ont of my depth. The inertia of the lined tube would, may- be, resist the momentary impact of quite a body of water; but the st ady preasnre of a

head of fifty feet, moving, with wind and tide, at the low rate of 5’ per sec nd, will be irresirtible. I¢ will take pier strength

to stand a horizontal thrust of nearly six thousand tons, at the creat of each pier. The inertia is not worth counting. If there

is no water mevement there, of course the Case is different.”

Mr. Meatyard does uot understand

THH DAILY

| the scheme. The idea is not to lay the jtube on piers, but in the mud and sand

'on the bottom of the Strait.

Mr. Meatya:d has however, we 'think, touched upon the main question | in connection with the proposed under- itaking: ** Will the tube resist the cur- ‘rent occasioned by wind and tide ; and jeven though partially buried in sand, }can it be made to withstand the heavy ice by which it will be attacked near either shore.”

2+ ae -ce Acknowledging their Folly.

Many of the more enlightened among the Grits already see that opposition to the Policy inaugurated by the presect patriotic aud prescient Liberal Conser 'vative Government must be abandoved | before they can expect to gain the public confidence. Here is what an Independ- ent Grit paper, the Montreal Star, has to say on the political outlook :

**Like all Liberals, Mr Mills is beginning look ahead to the elec ions cof 1887, Cwo bitter defeats have taught him, al- | though they have made no impression on | some of his thicker skinned comrades, that |a majority of tho Canadians are, and pro pose to remain, protectionists Reeogniz- jing thatit is from this the Conservatives | draw their strength, Mr. Mills proposes to | mancervre the enemy off its vantage | grounds, and begins his campaign by an- | nouncing his belief that the fiscal issue is, |fora time at least, dead in Canada—in /other words that it will no longer pay the | Liberals to fight the N. P.—aud that the | platforms of the contending parties must be constructed without the aid of the plank which has done such good sarvica in the past.’”’

— The Patriot infers that because Mr. Fe:guson posed as an authority on dairy matters ia the Dairyman’s Associa- tion, the producis of bis dairy became a fair subject for political attack. Just like the Patriot all over. A_ political opponent tries to do a litile good to the farming class, to which he belongs; the Patriot, alarmed lest he may obtain some credit for it, immediately attacks him regardless though its foul blows strike in quarters which all decent party men regard as sacred from political auimadversion. It is a pity that the Hou. |D Laird did not, a little sooner, come

conclusion that it was not in good

j

| to the taste to allude offensively to an opponent who has paid the debt of nature.

— One of the most prominent Con- servatives in the County, writing to the Editor of Tue ExaMINER, says :

“Goin for having Barristers instead of County Court Judges, appointed under the Franchise Act, You are right and the “Herald” is astray. lit mistakes entirely the Conservative sentiment on the question.”

S1g-—What about street lighting? The gas contract will expire in a little over a fortnight, and if a better light gan be got for the same or less money, the interests of the taxpayers should be considered. Will our city fathers move or not?
