justice has scarcely been expected in anyease,

TOWN- IMPROVEMENT.
To the Editor, of the New Era.
Stito-Ial your lent issue is given a Eat
of some of the largest property ownera
town, and the -amount of taxes they pay.
In what I have. read in your columns, and
have seen done by our public men towards
the improvement of the streets near to the
property of these pensons, they are, to my
mind, treated very unfairly, One would
think that they.were persona of no account,
as they appear to be treated with contempt.
The first one on. the list is Mr. James Fair;
his mill has been flooded occasionally be.
cease the gutters on the street oppoeite, on
Princess St., have beep allowed to fill up
with rubbish, and the culvert is not large
enough to take away e heavy 'body of
water • just look at the condition of the
water table from. Canteioa's corner to tbe „
grating in front of the mill. The amount
that has been spent by the corporation in
improvements around hia mill, Is very
small indeed, considering the taxes paid,
The same may be paid concerning the treat-
ment of. Mr, Searle and the ratepayers on
that eicle of Albert St. They have re.
quested that the heavy bodies of water
messing from the market ground, Which
raises a good on their side, be taken away, •
or the injustice remedied, but yet the
street laborers are put at other work be-
fore this is done. Then the proprietors of
the foundryare,also heavy ratepayers _lent
their property has received very little in
the shape of imPreVeteentel while other
property not far away, which has not yet
paid taxes, is benefited by the expendi-
ture of putelici funde. it really looks ari if
there was a evbeel within a wheel in the
way of having improVementa done. 4‘ You
ratch-triy-back I'll scratch -yours," Will
ome of the authorities tell us h_osie it is
the.f it reinfires a culvert about two feet
square at the head of Mary St., and yet
as the culvert gets more water, the outlet
of the culvert is only a little more than a
foot square. These thoughts are suggested,
Mr. Editor, by the manner in which our
street improvements are cooducted ; mech
more on the Ramo aubjeot might be written,
