The advance was made on al folrr-lnilo front -between Baiileuil and Vieux Berquin and the enemy was thrown back for a distance varying from a thousand to two thousand yards.

A part of the German line ilve miles in length and about a mile in depth was captured by the French, together with 240 prisoners. The advance was made` in this direction menaces the enenly's hold of Bailleuil. Farther south in the region southwest of Mervllle n small advance was made.

After the meeting adjourned an an- inlote-:1 discussion ensued between (‘oun_ Yoo and Conn. Riley upon the condition of the streets. Coun.

I-lo lllul only mentioned his name once be- fore-at the previous meeting, and hs Ilild 0Sl>eclally asked tile surveyor to llc present at that meeting, as he ws; going to say something about the streets, and what Ile said then he re- peated now--that citizens were com- plaining ol' the neglected condition of the streets and blaming the city engineer. . Colm- Rililrily also took a hand in the discussion. He said that every- one knew the streets were in bac shape, and that everyone knew tliat. tllcrc was nomoney available to pay for improving them. He clailnell that the Local Government had hin- dered the city from getting money ol; the Srounds that the council was no. capable of spending it. All they had was solne $6,700 to do work for the winter and summer. After some further discussion bg the same councillors the city survey- or steted that the advent of the motor cars on the streets of Charlottetown had brought about an altogether new phase in conditions of street traillc. The streets here, he laid, were not built for automobiles. They were what is known as the water macadanl streets,-the cheapest for_m of street- building. When -built such a thing as automobile traillc was never heard or. Streets to withstand tho_weer and tear of auto trailic would need to be constructed of asphalt or some such substance. He did not think it could be done for $200,000. The flrm which had laid the tarvia on Queen street would not move their plant' ov- er helc for an order less than $40,000. if the city had some stone or gravel temporary repairs could be made. This was the only thing, he believed, which could be done at present. Conn. Smith said that the auto traffic is here and here to stay. Hs thought that with the use of clay, otc., the streets could be put in pas- sable condition. Conn. Yeo said that this was what he wantedf, Conn. Rattray suggested that 3 would be money well spent for the councillors to visit their gravel pit at Surrey, Couns_ Connors and Yeo ag- reed and said they should go there by automobile and make s proper inves- tigation. _ .
