The Spaker took the chair at 3.30.

After routine Casgrain complained that he could not get a quorum of the Special Committee on his bill for the Prevention of Fraud in conuection with public contracts.

Charlton introduced a bill to prevent Sunday excursions.

In answer toa question, Sir John Me- Donald stated that it was the intention of the Government to introduce amendments to the Civil Service Bull

When Loudes notice of motion to con- sider the r@solution “That this House is of opinion that the Liquor License Act of 1883 should be repealed,” it was concluded that the subject should be taken up this day week.

Foster moved that the object of good government is to promote the general wel- fare of the people by a careful encourage- ment and protection of whatever makes for the public advantage; that the traffic in alcoholic liquors as beverages is productive of serious injury to the moral. social and industrial warfare of the people of Canada; that this House is of the opinion that the

jof frogs and filth, and, in the opinion of

very many, so contamiuated in hot weather as to beavery tine vomit. In view of these facis, except a better source for the proposed waterworks can be found, I would a thousand times prefer the sparkling drop from Spring Park.

The great want, therefore, seems to be an adequate supply of water to keep the common enemy—tire—under subjection. As our civic resources are somewhat limited, 1 shail pro- pound a s¢beme which I consider the simplest and cheapyst within the reach of citizens.

It wil not be denied that our streets and squares are ornamented with a heavy coat of snow andice Why not utilize both when nature converts them into water ?

Ina few weeks they will disappear and yield, I might say, millions of ,allons of water, which, if preserved by the simple pro- ecss of sinking tanks in all parts of the town under the gutters, through which this water tinds its way to the Hillsboro, and allowing it to ow into them, would supply the city with an inexhaustible supply of water for the use of the fire department. It will cost noth- ing—old Sol will do the work—-to bring this water here, only the sinking of a few tanks, which #]l admit we should now have for the protection of property.

Your correspondent is one of those who does not believe that Charlottetown is a veri- t.ble Regina, se faras water is concerned; there is a» abunaa.ce of it within our reach, if we only made an effort to retain it for the time of need

With such an efficient Fire Department as we have, one or twa more engines, kept in proper working order, and the scheme which {| have proposed, I believe loss by fire to any considerablo exter t in Charlottetown would be a thing impossibie.
