. : . T! MARCH 22, 1882. The Speech. Pus feeling of the public concerning the | speech from the throne, delivered to-day, | witat be one of disappointment. There is nothing in it about the sale of debentures, and not a word to show how has been withdrawn from the Land Office ; fund. We are only told that the Land Office dashaway policy has resulted in 4 manner “ entirely satisfactory to my Gov- ernment '’ But how about the great wmajority of farmers throughout the coun- try who paid the amounts they owed the Land Office in fall} How do the taxpsyers view the big discounts by which the Gov erument induced the payment or o large eam of mopey ? The measures toextend the usafulneas of the Stock Farm and to pr: vide instruction in dairy farming will nerd to be very good indeed if they mollify the anger of the people on account of the great wrong that has been perpetrated against the many forthe benefit of the few. Th- promised measure “having for its object the lessening of the cost of legislation” will be anticipated with interest. ———B + Ore Water Cemmissioucrs' Abv!ition. much money | Hanrss criticism of the Councillors who to abolish the Board of Water be deprecated. Two thousand psopose Commissioners is to be Their object is a good one. dollars, or even one thousand dollars, saved every year aud applied to streets and side- walke or sewers, are worth taiking about. Couacillor McKay ought rather to be as sisted ia making out his case—if it be pos- sible to do so—than snubbed in Council or jeeted at in the press or on the street. To make good his case he must first show that the water service will not be impsired if taken out of the control of the Commis- sionera and placed in charge of the City Council. The saving of a few hundred or « few thousand dollars at the risk of an im- paired service would really be no saving at all, and might be the very reverse. Then it must be shown that councillors elected by wards dependent ior election upon a majority of votes in each ward—some of those making up these ma)jor- ities not above accepting favors in return for their votes—can be trusted with the con- trol of an important matter affecting materially and closely the interests of the whole city, We feel sure that many citi- zene wil) have to br, satisfied as to the work- ing of the reformed Council before they will consent to entrust it with control of the waterworks. This fact, of itself, shows thet our civic reformers would have done better if they had [followed the advice of Tus Examinse, and provided for the elec- tion of exch Councillor by the whole City, alter the manner of the election of the Water Commissioners. It comes to this, that because they have retained the weed epstem, they cannot. now aave whatever might be saved by the abolition of the Water Commis- sioners. Perhaps it might be well to sug- gest, aa the easiest way to effect the change that is needed, and as an alternative measure to the one proposed by Councillor McKay, that the Oity Council be abolished, and that ali its powers be transferred to the Board of Water Commissioners. We should, if this saggestion were adopted, have a business-like Council, sufficiently large for practical purposes, sufficiently amall to ensure attention to civic affairs and not waste too much empty talk,—and each member of the Civic Board or Council would be sufficiently in- demnified. Anyone conversant with civic affairs will say that these men, assisted by a good, capeble clerk, and advised by a Recorder and Civil Engineer, could easily control and manage the business of the Corporation of Charlottetown. If a change ss at once to be made, we suggest this change. and time in Personal. Mme. Patti is ill in Boston. Edward M. Field, the defaulting New York THE DAILY EXAMINER. | Ppoyineial Legislature.

A epecial office, and to receive the rm port of the special committee appointed to lraft a bill in accordance with Ovouncillk ¢ McKay's resolution, which has already bi en publish- ed in THe Examrsex. There vy 2re present His Worship Mayor Haviland, is Honor the Recorder, and Councillo s Crabbe, Hogan, McKay, “Hughes, Be>r, Taylor, Hooper and Robertson, Councillor McKay, Chairmr of the Committe, submitted a dr ft of the bill, which at his request was read by the Clerk for the purpose of o taining the opinions of the Board thereon. The bill is entitled, *‘An Act to abolish he office of Water Commissioners for the C ty of Char- lottetown, and to make other changes in liew thereof.’ By its provision the Legis- lature is asked to enact as follo rs:— 1. The corporate hody know: as Water Commissioners for the City of Cl arlottetown, eatublished by the Charlottetown Waterworke Act, 1887, is hereby abolished. 2. That all the rights and »owers now veeted in or conferred on the Cc mmissioners by the said act and the duties no v discharged by the said Commiseionera hb: henceforth vested in, aseumed and diecharge 1 by the said City Council, which shall assume and dis- charge all liabilities and be responsible for all contracts, actions, deeds or things Which have’ now or hereafter have been entered isto or done by the said Commissioners and shall have the full, entice and exclusive possession, con- and of all lands and premises, machinery, plantj and things appertaining or belonging thereto, as full, freely and absolutely ju any respect as the Satne were veated in, assumed, discharged by or conferred upon the said Commissioners, by the said act. 3 It shall be lawful for the said City Council, for the carrying out and discharging the duties now carried out and digeharged by the said Commissioners and which by thia act sre vested in and transferred to the said City Council, to appoint a Committee to be called the Water Committee, consisting of three members, of whom the Mayor of the said City for the time being shall be chairman, and the other members of which shall he members of the said City Council fer the time being, which committee shall have the entire manage- ment and control of the said Waterworks and of all matters connected therewith, subject always to the approval of the said City Council 4. Should it be found necessary at any time after the coming into force of this Act te issue debeutures under the provisions of ‘*The Charlottetown Waterworks Act, 1887,” or any Act in amendment thereof, such debent- ures shall be countersigned by the members uf the Finance Committee of the said city or by a majority of the members of the said Piaance Committee, instead of by the Water Commissioners a8 now provided by the said Act. 5. This Act shall come into force on the 1st: duy of June, A. D. 1892. Councillor McKay said he thought the bill read would cover the ground, but would like to hear the opinions of: other members of the Board on the subject. It now cost $2,318.17 torun the Water Com= missioners’ office. The audited account ot the Commissioners for the year 1891 bore out this statement. Mr. McLean, the clerk, received a salary of $525; Mr. Dal- ziel $600; the Water Commissioners $750- salary of Assistant City Clerk, $293.78; the rent of the ropin now occupied by the City. School Board, which might occupy the room now used by the Commissioners, $125; the rent of telephone, $25; besides several other items that he did not think it necessary to refer to now, but which would swell up the amount. He thought chat now that the waterworks were com- pleted, the business could easily be trans- acted by the Mayor and Council, and a $300 a year bookkeeper to assist the City Clerk would be ali the assistance that would be required to do the office work. Thus a yearly saving of $2,000 could be effected. This is the great advan- tage of the proposed change. $2,000 was asnug sum, and it was the duty of the Council to save the money ot the citizens. Councillor Crabbe thought it would be well not to pass the bill to-night, as the Waterworks Act contained some fifty-six sections, nearly every one of which referr- ed to the Commissioners, and the proposed bill might not cover the necessary ground. He thought the Recorder should look over the bill before it was handed to the Legis- lature. The Mayor said he certainly thought the bill should not be passed. The citizens of- ferred no opposition to Mr. Kelly when he ran for Commissioner, and it must, there- fore, be taken for granted that they were satisfied with the present order of things He said he had on his desk a state- ment from the Water Commissioners that the revenue of the office was suftlicient to meet the expenses, and that it would not be necessary to assess the city for water- works purposes this year. Councillor McKay said it was the inten- tion to have the Recorder look over the bill before it was sent to the Legislature, and to submit the whole matter to a meet- ing of citizens to be held in the Market Hall on Friday evening next. He moved the following resolution ; Whereas, this Council is in favor. “of the bill now before them and that pre- vious to presenting it to the Legislature we ask the Mayor to call a public meeting of cit- izens iu Market Hall to discuss the Water- works bill, that the meeting be held at 8 o'clock p. m., Friday, 25th. Councillor Hogan seconded the motion, Councillor Crabbe said he was sorry that the promoters of the bill had not gone into details more fully. When the waterworks act was framed the citizens took the greatest care that no member of the Council Board should have anything to do with the works, and since that time he was not aware that the people had nes any dissatisfaction with the work o thought that citizens generally were perfectly satisfied with the working of the present system, There was not now one dollar owing for water in the office. He could not see where Councillor McKay would get his saving of $2,000 when the actuai expense of the office was only $1,700. It was possible to save the salary of the Commissioners, $600— the legal amount paid. The Sextra $150, which appears in the accounts quoted by Gvun. McKay, is a balance remaining over from the previous year Will the work of the Commissioners’ office run itself? he asked. Whowillkeepthe books? Hethought the sum of $300 a year too small a salary for a competent Assistant City Clerk. He should get # salary as high as that paid Mr, | McLean. Then Coun.

The Waterworks Act was passed in 1887, and today, five years later, ihe office is self-eustaming, aud it is not 2eces- sary to assess the city for ome cent. All this has come about through the good managemeut of the Water Commissioners. He thought it would be well to leave things as they are. The Councillors have work enough now, and if their duties are increased the chances are that they will be asking for sal- aries. : Couseillor McKay said the maia reason the citizene had at the time the bill wae paaa- ed for opposing the controlling ofthe water- works b the Council was that Councillor Crabbe and some other mem- bers of the Board were leading membe-s of a company formed for the cometruction of the worka. The people were afraid they wanted to boodle, ee Councilior Hogan theaght that if the bill became law and after a yoar or two of trial it is found unworkable it would be on easy matter to go back to the commissioners. He thought a saving of at least $1,000 could be effected by the proposed change, and that the work uow peiformed by the Commissioner's Clerk might be done by the Clerk of the City Court. He failed to see why the Council could not collect the water rates as well as the Commissioners, Councillor Taylor could not see why the Couneil could nt collect the rates aa well asthe Commiasioners. He thought thatone manmight be necessary in the Commis- missioners’ office, but three were not required, Councilor Beer was opposed to the bill. The citizens,ao far as be knew, were also opposed to it, but were taking no action, as they felt sure the bill wou!d not pass the Legislature. If the works were ever placed under the con- trol.of the council he thoughta number of free hydranta would be put in and the city wou'd thus loge considerable of the revenue. it now received in the shape of water rates. Many persona who now took water in the oepubie way would discontinue it when they were erected. He moved the following amendment to Councillor McKay's resolution : Whereas, At» general meeting of citizens of Charlottetown it was decided to erect a system of Waterworks; and, Whereas, It was further decided that such an undertaking should be kept elear of the " Council; ms én, hereas, An Act was passed by the Legis. lature empowering the city to elect three Water to carry out the pro. visions of the Act; Therefore Resolved, That this Council do not deem it advisable to ask the Legislature to vest the powers of the Commissioners in the hands of.the City Councillors. Councillor Crabbe seconded the motion. Councillor, McKay said he could not see how the council cauld be more anxious te a in free hydrants than the Commissioners. present hydrants were s. monument to the tolly of thé Water Commissioners. He thought, however, that hydrants should be at the different entrances to the city or wateringthor These. hydrants should be #9 conditucted that -(fey“could only = ased for that parpose, aba people wou not be able without ¢ erable trouble to get the water for domestic pope. The present hy@rante*were hard-looking enough te frighten a horse. : Councillor Hughes said the Water Com. misefonets had received a good deal of money since they took hold of the-works. He thought, however, that if the worke were now investigated they would be found. ip a criti. cal condition, | He had been informed by a civil engineer that thé reservoir waa practi- money expended for this work was so much money lost, and the Commiasiouers who took the reservoir off the bands of the contractors before it was completed were to blame. Then, too, we had to depend upon one boiler at the pumping station, If anything went wrong with the boiler or with the man in charge, the city would be without water. When can- vassing Ward Five at the last election he found that the people were in favor of doing away with the igsionera, and that was why he supported the bill. He was not able to see why the water rates could not be collected as well by the Council ag by the Commissioners. The Mayor, who is elected by the whole city, would be chairman of the Water Committee, ard he would see that water takers were not allowed to fall inte ar. rears. Councillor Beer said he was requested to state that what Councillor Haghs said about the reservoir was incorrect. The reservoir had been in constant use for the last 15 months, and all the water used in the city came from it. After some further remarks from Councill- ors Hogan, ‘Taylor, Robertson and othe mem- bers of the Board, the amendment proposed by Councillor Beer was put and lost oa diy- ision, only Councillors Beer and Crabbe ap. pearing for it.
