CIVIC AFFAIRS-

The annual reports and accounts of

Charlottetown as submitted at Monday

I night’s meeting of the Council make a fa- vorable showing, In round figures the re- ceipts for Civic-purposes were $105,333 and the payments for the same purposes

were $105,132 leaving a. balance of $231. As we had a considerable balance at the

credit of the City in the Merchants’ Bank at the beginning of the year. this has been

increased and at the _close of the year stood at $11,663. The taxes were collected with admirable eiliciency and success, only $60.10 of the year’s taxes remaining uncollected on December 31. We doubt

whether any other City in Canada can show alike record in that regard.

It ought to be observed that our City

accounts 'are admirably kept and carefully and audited, showing in the clearest pos- sible manner the financial transactions of the yea:-. This is as it should be and con- trasts strongly with thc manner

in which the accounts _ of several ol our Canadian Provinces are kept. The debt statement shows just how the indebtedness ofthe City is made up. Our ordinary City debt is nearly $228,000; our debt on account of water works $230,000, and the debt on account of sewerage $148,000. These make an ag- gregate of nearly $606,000. The increase

which $11,000 was for City improvements and $21,000 for water works improve- ments. There was apparently full justi-

fication for this Outlay on capital account

expended. ~ _

As an oH'set to the ordinary city debt

the accounts credit the city with real

estate. including wharf property. school .

buildings and grounds, the City Hall

charges and also provide a sinking fund

The City’a credit never stood higher than at present. If in the future our civic ah’airs aremanaged in a business like way, as they appear to have been by the present Council, our civiclflnancing will

THE EDITOR`S MAIL.

- OUR WINTER ROADS,

S13,-The articles that appeared in The Guardian lately on our winter roads are timely and to the paint. For year past these roads-have been gradually getting worse and now they are a disgrace tb any civilized community.

It might be asked, why it is that our

people have allowed their roads to net into such a disreputable condition i In other respects they have kept in line, if not in advance of the other Provinces. In the first place I think the Com'

'misoner of Public Works is fairly charge~ able with neglecting his duiy.,He is paid a good salary and he is also provided with ample means by the people to keep roads in good repair The law is not per feet but it is good enough to do batter if there was-an a. .tempt in ide ta enforce it . Here ls where the trouble comes in. The Commlsioner is afraid to enforce his own law The Sup°rvisors and Inspectors are not appointed so much for what they can do in locking after the roads, as for what I they can do at elections. They think that attending political meetings and shouting for the men that pay them is enough for_' the money they receive If these Super~ vlsors and Insp°ctors were elected each ear or two by the dilferent country dis tricts vi e would soon seo a charge fcr the other in our roads.
