On Friday evening the Bishop gave a leoture in the town hall in behalf of the Young Peoples' Alliance of Waterloo, The subject was "Looking inward, looking outward, looking up. ward."

Next Monday, from 0 a. m, to 5 p. m„ pone will be open for the purpose of property owners in Druseels expressing their opinion on the important question of savers and eidowalke for the time to come. In Divieion No. 1, 04 per. 0000 are entitled to vote at A. CooeIey'e oiiioo ; there are 110 owners in Div, No. 2, who will pall at the Connell chamber ; and in No. 8, who vote at Alex. Ellie', Queen street, 77-261 in all, The Re- turning Ofi'roere ore doing the work gratia; All who are favorable to the By -low will mark an X opposite th e top armee of the ballot. The By-law does net mention granolitli- i0 but applies to plank or gravel as well. z of the owners of any block representing the total assessment may petition for and enure any kind of walk they agree upon. The By-law will cover the whole town. bank stomata as well as front. Any owner on the bank street who cotes againstit asks to have the present syetem of an equal assessment on all continued for all town improvements whereas those who vote for it say the property benefitted should bear the expense. The front street owner who says he agrees with the principle for the sewer cannot eonoistently argue against the walls, ae the same prinoiple is embodied in each. Carrying the By -Law does not author- ize this year's Council nor any other soeoeeding Board to build walk or sewers without the majority asking for it. At the present time the Connell could go on and do the work and oolleot the amount in one year's taxes. Under the By-law the amount would probably be divided over 15 or 20 yore and thereby not prove a burden to anyone. One sewer down the centre of Main street with an 18 inch sewer tile wonld cost $500 for the tile and about $200 to $300 for excavating, &o. 2 sewers from 12 inob tile would Dost $500 for tile and Mr. Hopkins got about $400 for patting in the old ones. 2 sewers with 15 inoh tile would cost $750 for tile. An 18 inch tile will oarry away 271 times ae much as a 12 inoh and 71 more than a 15 inch, so competent judges say. Cedar for sewer boxing instead of the tile at $13.00 per M. would amount to about $170. There is no neoessity of connecting every cellar with the main sewer but instead make the connections from one cellar to another and have one main lead pipe from each blook, or more of course if necessary. The new sewer, or sewers, will have to go deeper than the present one to do the work properly, Every owner should be free to express their opinion on the Bylaw and oast their ballot. It omnoerns every taxpayer in Brussels as to what the result of Mon- day's voting is. A point often raised in diooaseing granolithia vs. plank is the comparative Dost of eaoh. It has been ascertained that 10 square feet of plank, built ae we usually build them, will oast $8.50, while the same space of the beet granolithia will average about $10. Then comes in the question of permanency. In tbe former case repairs or renewal in a few years while in the latter the walk is there for a life time. Attend the public meeting on Friday evening and state your views on this question of public interest. Why should a taxpayer North of the river be amassed for the oonetraotion of a sewer to drain cellars on Main street ? Everybody will agree that they shouldn't and this is the principle involved in the By-law to make eaoh property owner in Brussels on every street pay for their own improvements and at the same time to place it in their power to say when and at what coat the work is to be done. Instead of giving the Council more power it ie curtailing their present privileges, and placing them in the hands of those who have to put up the cash. If the By-law is defeated the worts of putting in new Bowen will have to go on just the same, with the exception that every taxpayer will have to contribute to the expenses, the same as they did fn;i 1878. The Council has no axe to grind in this question, ao three of the members are directly interacted as owners in the business part of the town. The claim is made that the American roads are boycotting the Soo branch of the 0. P.`R. A.' bill to make Dominion oivil ser• vaute amenable to the garnishee law wan reported in the Home.
