' An‘Whereas we believe the majority of the citizens are opposed tothe plan of ~ abolishing the ward system under , which no evil consequences ~have.so far grown, but on the contrary the affairs of the city have always been managed in. ia.-i prudent, business like and economical ‘ manner. _ _ . And Whereas, there is no pressing need of the proposed legislation and it is ivexnediénsni the present .timnen bring same into _force until the voice 'of' the citizens at large demands it; _ » Therefore Resolved, that the Council of the City of Charlottetown protest against the legislation, or the changing of the constitution of the city in any manner until a full opportunity is 'given the , citizens to express an opinion favorable: to or against such change by a Plebiscite to be taken; Further Resolved, thata copy of this resolution be forthwith sent to the Honourable the Speaker of the'Legislative ` ~Assembly with the request that the same be presented to the Legislature. In introducing the resolution Coun. Whear opposed the proposal to change the constitution of the city by abolishing the ward system on the grounds that the citizens at large have expressed not desire for such a change. The resolution passed in the market hall was not dis- cussed in detail, was submitted at _the close of- the _meeting and an actual diverson was not taken. Also that"no evil consequences have, s_o_ far, ‘been experienced in -this `eityV biy*"the -*ward* system. That it. is at pi-ese`nt.`not’in existence in any other city 'ni Ct.nada_i except St. John, N. B. whereixperience has proved it to be a failu_re,_as_ a clique can elect the city- representatives. ~Hef objected to any number of private citizens asking for legislation without it coming through the Council. An election for Water Commissioner will be .held in February next at which time a plebiscite could be taken. Couu. Brown was surprised at the men' who have circulated the petition to abolish the wards. Other cities' had adopted the alleged reform. Other cities had adopted the accumulative vote and had afterwards discarded it. If there was any improvement to be made he would favor the dividing of some of the wr rds into smaller ones. Conn Tay lor said there is a. certain ring benefit. ' Coun.Taunton said that hehad given his opinion through the press and at public meetings. The City Council-is composed dictate and assume the role bf masters. It had been stated that no evil had come . his opinion. What controls the city in-day? The facts are that Ward 5 has not got a ' chairman on a committee. He had no the wards. the Street’Committ.ee.
