CIVIC AFFAIRS.

Now that the citizens are about to

elect a Mayor and Councillors to serve for two years, it is a iltting time for all to take council together as to theneeds of the wvn and how they shall be supplied. We must not forget that Charlottetown is the capi- tal of the Province. the will Of 8 Government and Legislature, and that the new Council will have the conduct of our civic affairs at the be- ginning of the twentieth century. The men who are to transact cur bus- iness in the City Hall oight to be men of twentieth century ideas!

Fortunately, though by a narrow

limit, we have escaped the opprobrium of passing into the new cycle without a sewerage system. New that this necessary work, which ought to have been done lifty years ago, is at length completed, there are other wants al- most as elementary that must be sup- plied. Hostof our streets are in the condition of ordinary country high- ways. the formation being imperfect and the material merely the iative soil. Hany of our sidewalks wruld disgrace a third-rote v.llage, and yet the expenditure upon them year by year mould be more than soliicient to krepinfull stone or as- phalt wallaii once the latter were laid down.

Our street lighting is inslactive

and otherwise nnsatis!ac‘osy. 'Ihe contractors apparently furnish as much or as little candle power as they please, and the number, of lamps that are “out” whmi they are sup- posed to be shining would occupy the time ofa policeman to count them. If the number reported “out” are many, they cover but a fraction of the whole number. The existing con- ditions render it necessary to con-

idt whether' the City might not.

0! the Bra protection service we.

have recently spoken, and it is gene rally admitted that it comes far short of what it ought to bo to give the security to which the City is entitled. Whatseems tobe needed is an micr- getic and persistent determination to sirct in regard to streets, sidewa‘ka, lighting and tire protection a like ad- vance to those made years ago in our . water snpply and recently in regard to sewerage. Mayor War- burton has spoken out in a clear and l decided way in regard to these mat- ters, and we regard it as the duty of V every candidate in the civic election, whether seeking the Mayoralty or a ounc llarship, to dehne his position in regard to these needed improve- ments.

'I he good work already done in pro-

viding water supply, sewerage and the improvement of Victoria Park meets with almost universal appro- bation. That fact should be an in- OQHVO t0Wll'd Csrrying fqrwgrd gh, other improvements needed till Char- lottetown shall be made attractive to citizens and visitors alike, worthy of its p'ace as the chief port and politi- cal end intellectual centre of the Ia- lplli. and hsqmg' with cities elsewhere in the P”

Few of the latter could read its latest mrtialc on the British Boer struggle without , being moved to indignation. After acknowledging the help of sympathy in the war with Spain the New Voice goes on te quote from a pro-Boer paper a fulsome eulogy of the Traasvaalers, and addsz-

“Perbaps it would have been better

to have fought our war with Spain with_` °\\ any help. although ii might have bass lorgfr and more didanlt, this to have had help that mast now make us silsat partners to a monumental lc; juice."
