The regular monthly meeting of
tue city oonneii wee new inet night. `
Mayor Prowse `presided, and all the
Councillors were present.
Alter the regular routine was tran,
saeted, new business was taken up.
His Worship Mayor Prowse thought
the occasion was the proper one on
which to.express his appreciation of
the honor done him by the citizens
of Charlottetown at the late election
in placing him in his present high
position. He also wished to con-
gratulate the citizens on the present
council; they _were an evidence-by
reason of the fact. that every one
of the old councillors who had offer-
ed had been reelocted,-that citizens
had confidence -in them notwithstand
ing the scandals spread about pre
vious to the election. He also cou-
gratulated the citizens upon thi
water commissioners who had been
returned, and said he was glad tc
see there present Chnirninn Nfcholsni
oi the waterivorks commissioners-hc
did not remember of having seen ii
chairman of that board show enougi.
interest to attend the meetings oz
the Council. He reminded the Coun
cillors that they would huvc u loc o
im or.tant work to do. Q trustee
are mnde up. Councillor Rogers,
chairman of finance, said he would
like to grant these requests, but it
could not be done now, and he hoped
similar demands would not be pre-
sented until the estimates had been
compiled and the Council knew. just
ho\v matters stood. _ .
In answer to a petition from re-
dents of the vicinity, askingf that
the name of the Maipeque Road_ be
changed to Elm Avenue, it was re-
iolved to ‘grant the prayer of the
petition and to have street signs
,rut up in’ accordance therewith.
A request from the Laborers’
Protective Union, that the City
Council arrange for a nine-hour day
'or its employees was left with a
:ommittee to be dealt with.
On motion the City Clerk was in-
itructcd to call for tenders for
10,000 feet of 2-inch hemlock p,snk;
or lumber to be used in connection
.vith the concrete work; for spikes
ind nails und for 1200 barrels Port-
lnnd cement.
It was moved that the City Sur-
/eyor be instructed not to put new
ylank sidewalks down in the City
unless the same is authorized by the
.',‘,ouncil Board.
On motion the City Clerk was in-
D
that all party, religious and persona
niotiveswlwguld be_`e`x'ciurled whex,
councillors were conducting the af*
faire of the city, and time they
would work in the best interests oi
the citizens and of theGity.
Councillors Rogers, Stewart, and
McDonald replied to His Worship's
address, and testified to the plen-
sure the members of the Board felt
having his Worship at their head.
They 'were agreed that the Council,
as at present composed, was unani-‘
mous in the desire to work together
to produce the best results for the
City and for the citizens.
Correspondence was then taken up.
With reference to a request from
Salvage Corps for a larger allowance
than th_ey at present receive, and
also to a letter from the
keeper of Victoria Park asking for
an increase of salary oi $12.50 PGY
month. it was resolved to let same
lie on the table until the estimates
utriictcd to advertise for tenders, in
,wo Nova Scotia papers, for 5,000
sons of hard- stone. ' ` ` `  `
A motion was passed authorizing-
the placing of $10,000 more insurance
_on the City market building. Itl was
pointed out that at present the build-
ing was only insuredlfor $15,000 and
was worth $60,000, and there was
only $3,000 at rest in the market
house sinking fund.
The tenders of Thomas Sweeney,
James Doyle, _and J. Hughes for
supplying sand for the City were on
motion accepted.
There was -some consideration oi
the advisability of arranging for
more commodious and_ direct means of
exit from the market building after
which the meeting adiourned.
