Watson, Esquire. —_—- Tue sudden death, this morning, of W. R. Watson, Esquire, was a very sad shock to the community, of which he was an olu and one of the most highly esteemed mem- bers. Theugh apparently not unwell, Mr. Watson has fer several weeks been in a restless, anxious state of mind, brooding morbidly over slight troubles magnified by imagination. Yesterday ferenoon he at- tended Church as usual; but in the after- noon he was so miserable that he gave special concern to his family, who called in afriend and adviser to reassure andcalm his mind. Atan early hour this merping he rose from his bed and went down stairs, and when the servant began work, his body was found in a doorway leading out of the hall. Physicians were as quickly as possible called in. But, too late. The bedy was quite eold. Death had probably taken piace two or three hours previously. The voyage over, his spirit had entered the haven where all must rest. Mr. Watson was born in Elgin, Scotland When quite a youth he came out to Hali fax; and thirty-eight years ago he com- menced business asa druggist, in Char lottetown. During seven years he was High Sheriff of Queens County. Mr. Watson was just and honorable in his dealivys, quiet and dignified in his bearing, kind and considerate in his con- duct towards all, and very charitable to the poor. Wethivk we rightly interpret the sentiment of the community, when we say that no man was more highly respecved and esteemed To his grief-stricken widow and family we tender our heartfelt sympathy. CE EE Mr. MacKenzie’s Retreat from Lambton. Halifax Herald. The excuse which Mr. Mackenzie has given for his retreat from his old strong hold is much more comical than convincing. He first told the electors of Lambton that he had rot a _ particle of doubt, but that even without his assistance the riding could be carried by the Reformers easily and over- wheiminuly. Ina almost the next sentence, however, he explained to them that the reason he wa: leaving them was that the state of his health was such that he could net stand the fatigue and excitement inci- dent to a personal canvass of such a large constituency. Two things must have oc curred tu every one who heard this explan- ation; (1) that if the Grit party are as strong in Lambton as Mr. Mackenzie boasted they are, why could not Mr. Mackenzie be elect- ed without being required to make a per sonalicanvass of the cunstituency? and (2) if the state of his health is such that he can- not undertike the tazk of contesting Lamb- ton — which he professes to beiieve su overwhelmingly G t how does he expect to be able to bear up under the efforis necessary to defeat Mr. Boultbee in Easst York? The truth is that both Mr. Mackenzie and his friends knew that Lambton is certain to be carried by the Liberal-Conservatives at the next elec- tion, and his nomination for East York is only a ruse to enable him to beat a hasty retreat. He will not and cannot be clect ed in East York, but doubtless some other constituency will in the meantime be found where he can be. All present indications go to show that the ‘‘wave” in Outario is not going to ‘*‘sweep” things for the Grits in 1883, any better than it did in 1878. + <> ~<a Personal. Mr. Joun Costigan, M.

One day, When Ben Mercer, an eccentric Scoteh miuister, was preaching, a man on the corner of a seat near him fell asleep. Of this Ben took uo notice till he began to snore ; he then said to the beadle, ** Charlie, wauken up Sandy Mutch ; he’s sittin’ i’ the corner o’ that «quar seat snorin’.’ Sandy, on being roused, wakened u»> in a hurried and excited state, whereupon the minister said to him, *‘ Sandy, I’m nae freely sae hard upon sleep- ers i’ the kirk as some tolk because tix preacher is as much to blame as the hearer ;” and then, holding out his big, clenched fis: with a threateniog gesture, said, ‘* but, Sandy, I debar snoring.’ , _ Lt.

A PUBLIC meeting of tie taxpayers of the City of Charlottetown was held in the Market Hall on Saturday afternoon at half- past two o'clock. ‘The Hall was well filled, aud the chair was occupied by Mayor Dawson, who, on opening the meeting, ex- plained its object, viz: to discuss the Water } Question, the financial state of the City, anc the proposed rate of assessment on Real Estate for the coming year,” and then proceeded to answer certain questions asked by a correspondent of the Patriot regarding the reveuue and expenditure of the city. This he did to the satisfaction of all present, clearly showing that the expenditure for last year, was less than any of the pre- ceding five years. He then went extcnsive ly into figures to show that the manage ment of civic affairs during the year 1881 “was more successful than ever before. Referring to Water Works, he showed that, during the time he was Mayor, the ques- tion of Water Works never cost the city more than a few dollars for telegrams. After a full and satisfactory explanation regarding his action on water works, during his term of office, he stated that the water question, as far as the City Council is coneerned, isa dead Any individual orany company now wishing to give the citizens water, can obtain an act of incorporation from the Local Government, bring it in at their own expense, and run it the same as the Gas Company or any other Juint Stock Com- pany isrun. Further comment on it b) the citizens, in the face of this fact, 18 a wanton loss of time. The Mayor, after concluding his remarks, introduced ,— Councillor Murphy who delivered a most couvineing speech on the City Finances. It will appear to-morrow. Councillor Blake was the next speaker He brifiy stated his position in reference to the water question, and stated he neve was in favor of water works being intro- duced »y the Corporation. He recounted his action at the Council Board during his term of office, and said he did not appear before the Council to defend the Council as a body; but he came to defend the Fin ance Committee for levying one and a quarter per cent. He then went back t ihe change in civic affairs, effected by leading citizens taking civic matiers in hand two years ago. Then citizens had good cause for being alarmed at the state o! city finances. A heavy tax was imposed o1 citizens, and this tax was necessitated by the large awount of interest paid on th city debt. A meeting was held in the Law Courts, and the citizens there assembled found that the debts were incurred through isse. the bad management of the Council. The nominees of that meeting were, with three exceptions, rejected, and, on reaching the Council, vhey, by ad- opting estimates of revenue and expenditure, found that, to make ends meet, and steer clear of defisits, it was necessary to levy a tax of one and a quarter per The es imates were laid befor tne Council by the Finance Comnittee— Measrs. Jugs, Beer, and myself. For som: reason which he could not divine they were thrown out. The Finance Committee therefore resigned ; the Union Bank then refused to pay accounts, and the affairs of the City for a short peried were in con- cent. fusion. A few days later the Council agreed to pass the estimates ano asked the Finance Commitiee to re- consider their resigmation. Messrs. Bee: and Ings did so, but he refused on ground of right or wrong. However, the bye-law was passed, and 1 per cent was levied. The result was a bad one. A deficit followed. The same difficulty again eceurred between the Council and Committee last year, but again th Finance Committee resigned, and again the Council reconsidered the action taken, an: accepted ‘the estimates of the Finance: Committee, one and a qvarter was levied ; the expenditure was brought within the revenue, witha small surplus left to the good. That the course taken by the Finance Committee in levying one and a quarter per cent, no one will deny. A present any sum smaller than that is im adequate for civic purposes, If it was no levied the city would yearly go en spending more than they earned, ano he asked any intelligent man to consider the financial state of an individual who yearly spends $7,000 when he only earns $5,000. Here Mr. Blake read the following list, showin; the salaries and amounts to be provided for before one cent can be expended for civic improvements: Mayor’s Salary, ; ? $ 324 0° Stipendiary Magistrate’s Salary, 1,000 © Clerk, Stipendiary, , : 500 0 City Clerk, . . ° 6u0 Oi City Bui iff, . 400 00 City Mar hal, . . 500 0: Police Foree, , ° ® 2,991 0 Licensing Board, 150 Ov Maiket Clerk, ‘ » 324 OU Janitor slarket Hall, . ; 60 0 Chief Engineer, ‘ ‘ 120 66 Clerk Fiie Department, ‘ £00 0: Engineers Steam Engines (2) . 500 Of Firemen, ‘ : ; 600 0: City Surveyor, . 4590 06 Assessing ‘l'axes, ‘ ; 6CO Or Park Keeper, ‘ ‘ 300 00 Drivers aud City Horses (2), . 730 00 School Beard, ‘ ° 9 O00 Gb Interest on Debts, ' . 7,485 00 Street Lamps and Lights, ; 3,520 O Fire Department over and above salaries, : . ‘ 2 255 0 Market House andsHall, " 650 Of Pumps and Welis, ‘ ° 716 $23,924 o¢ Mr. Blake resumed. Now gentlemen no inatter who you eloct this 1s what has to b rovided for before a single improvemen cau be made on the streets ; before a sing! pump can be repaired, or befere the leas vossible extraordihary expenditure can b: made. After fully dealing with this matter Mr. Blake produced the following compara tive statements of revenue and expenditure for the years 1880 and 1881 :— Comparative Statement of Expenditvre for 1850-81, 1830. 1881, | Inerse erse City Government..} 1,657 os| 1,923 68 266 70s ur Police Department| 5,643 79! 5.378 17) 265 60 Licensing Board..| 150 00; "293 10; 143 10] ~ Mt.

To further prove this statement he showed that the decrease 2,385 89 Ordinary Revenue in 1881 was 2,748 88 Debentures paid, Paid Schoel Beard 1880, in excess of 4,363 00 9,497 77 Now the quarter per cent. only,— Realized, $5,338 48 Horse and Carriage Tax, . 835 00 Poll Tax, ; 60 00 $6,233 48 This, it will p'ainly be seen, that the quarter per cent. could not be done with- out, and that the Council made the best of it, as well as they did with the herse and carriage tax. He then referred to the little interest taken by citizens in civic matters and stated that while they took the greatest interest in Local and Dominion politics, they over- leoked City politics, which directly touched their pockets. Year after year men were sent to the Council who were tetally unfit io transact the city’s business affairs. The consequence was that the city was run into debt ata tremendous rate. An idea of this may be gleaned from the fellewing ligures, which show the amount of deficits trom 1876 to 1880;— 1876 the deficit was 1877 ee se 1378 “ee se 1879 ee se 1880 a se $21,180.09 27,501.09 21,879.27 13,657.2 1,994.33 Tetal, $36,212.02 This debt was tho result ef previous councils levying inadequate taxes, and making reckless and impreper expenditures. To show the damage of such a pelicy, Mr. Blake produced the following figures, show- ing the amount of interest paid on eity iebts during the seven years ending 1881 : (875 the amt of interest paid was § 922,37 ce “a i876“ a oe 2,904, 16 1877 ‘“< sé ‘ “e ae 4,035, 30 1378 ‘es se se ee “ce 6 385,63 L879 se sé se se “e 6,504, 92 j sO «< “e ae “és +s 6. 763,27 LSS1 sé se ss 4 “se 7,485,836 To show how the present Council changed this state of affairs, Mr, Blake said that in 1881 the gross Revenue was Expenditure . $41,086.24 40,257,94 Surplus ee $828.20 which was realized witheut taking account of the income tax, which ceuld net be ecl- iected last year. After referring to several questions, such as the reduction of civic government and machinery, the levying of a personal pro- perty tax, etc., Mr. Blake closed his fine speech by giving a brief statement ef the vresent financial standing ef the city as follows .— Debentures afloat 31st Dec, 1881, Amount reduced, 184}, $92,355 0) 2,743 80 $39,606 13 Union $13,704 80 1,718 71 Overdraft at Bank, > {ncrease of do., $20,423 5) Votal Liabilities to ,3ist Dec., 1581, : ; $116,029 64 Total Liabilities to 3lset Dec., isso, ‘ : ‘ 111,059 9) Debt Reduced in 1881, 3 $ 1,029 27 If all the taxes on Real Estates, he said, had been paid, the debt weuld have beer reduced $1,736.37 more—making a total reduction of $2,765.64. This being Mr. Biake’s first appearance before a public audience since his arriva) ‘rom England, he, in cencluding, thanked the citizens for the hearty reception the} tendered him on his arrival, and then re- sumed his seat amid applause. Messrs. Tanton, Heartz. and Hogan, spoke briefly, reviewing tho civic finances and the Water Works. The meeting dispersed at 6 o'clock : with- out passing resolutions.
