sa Meeting in Ward 5. Purecant to netice alarge and influen- tia! meeting of the electors of Ward 5 was held iv Philip Large & Son’s shop last night wo take inte consideration the scheme proposed tor the ‘ aC n of aA supply ef water from Wafer River, and the In erease of } per cent in the city tax On motion of G. C. Hooper, Charlies Heartz, Esq., was appointed Chairman, and the undersigued Secretary. The Chairman stated the object of the meeting, and called upon Councillor McLean, one of ‘he representatives of the Ward te address the meeting. *Councittor MvLean then came forward and stated that be was there on the invita- tien of his constituents, and was prepared to answer any question or give any explana- tion they desived respecting his conduct since he was elecied to the Couneil. G. C. Hoorrs asked whether Mr. MeLean was prepared to support a scheme for the introduction of boggy water from Winter River, also how the Council found it necessary to increase the rate of city taxes from i to 1} per cent, when His Worship the Mayor stated in his report that 1 per cent weuld be quite sufficient to meet all estimated expenditure. Mr. McLean replied that he would never egree to have wa‘er brought inte Charlotte- town at the expense of the citizens. Under the scheme proposed ne citizen need take the water unless he chooses, and he need not pay fer it unless he usesit. He voted for the increase in the city taxes because he saw it was absolutely necessary, and be- cause he pledged himself when running his election not toe nsent to have the city sunk into debt one dollar further than it was at present. Mr. Jouxn Newson wanted to know the basis upon which this scheme of water werks was founded, and said the meeting was in the dark on the subject, and asked what additional expenditure did the City Ceuncil anticipate when they found it necessary to increase the taxes to 1} per eent. Mr. McLean gave a synopsis of the basis upon which the Council! intended to eonsider the contract. He said it was pre- posed to havea number of hydrauis sup- plied by the water works for fire purposes, and that the cos’ of the same would be taan the saving it would effect in penditure of the Fire Department, besides reducing the rates of insurance and render ing the city more healthy than it is ai present. Mr. James Curtis then came forward and spoke foreibly against the imposition of water works, and called upon the citizens to rise in their might and put a step to the extravagance row practiced by the City Covncil. Now or never shall be the word, and he added that rather than consent to leas the ex the water works it would be better to put) ++ a fence round the city and whitewash out of respect, ond then leave it forever. Councittorn Smirn being called upon stated that he » as always agait ist the water question, and that he would always oppose it. He voted forthe increase taxes in order to reduce the overdraft at the Union Bank, and beeause no more money will be obtained for liquor licenses after the Ye st August next. Messrs. A. McKinnon, John Ladner, Benj. Toombs, Henry Coombs and others spoke on the water question. Counciilers Chappelle and Lawson being | present, were 280 invited to address the meeting, which tney did. The following resolution was then moved by G. C. Hooper, Esq., seconded by James Gikeed, Esq. Resolved, That the Electors of Ward 5 request their representatives not for any systein of water works until the same be fully siibr nitted to the said Electors at the Amd - t that they be requested to vote against it and do all they can to pre vent it ahd law. Autex. McKinnon, Esq , ment that the !xtter part of the resolution be struck out, asit would hamper the representatives of Ward 5in the exercise of their privileges in the Council, in case the contract was a favorable one. [The remaining part of this report will appear on Monday. | _—e m+ == ‘The Quebec Fire. oi to vote moved in amend- Qvesec, June 9.
