Ane —Section 250 of the Munici- pal Act says ;"Every Council may .pass by-laws and make regulations for the health, safety, Morality and welfare of the inhabitants of of the municipality in mattersnot specially provided for in the Mun- icipal Act; and may pass, such by- elaws, as may be. deemed expedient, not contrary to law, etc. Section 249, sub -sec. 2, says ; AI bye aw pas - ed by the Council in the exercise of powers conferred by this Act, and in gond faith ehall -not be open to question, or be quashed o,n acequnt of the unreasonableness of • its provisions, etc. But you say there was no by-law, therefore the parties can only be governed . by. the private agreement; and, of couree, those who, did not sign the eagreement or petition, cannot be taxed for the' street watering. Your statement of the factois very meagre, and therefore my an- swer may not be as satisfactory es I would like it to be. J.

'Yon have not stated from what company the policy was obtained.

C., Auburn.—Qu.—(1)Must a Township Council at the request of one of the owners of land adjoin ing a 'municipal drain" directethe .engineer to make. an estimate of cost of deepening, 'widening and ex tending the •said drain into a neigh boring township? (2) Must a ma- jority of the owners petition the Council for the' consteuction or improvement of the drain? (3) If a majority of the owners are op- posed to the construction of the drain on account of the expense, can the Council refutate to act upon the request of one or more of the parties? - Ans.--I think your case comes un der the Municipal Drainage Act.of 1920, and does not come under the Ditches and Watercourses Act of 1912, but I am only guessing, as you have not told me which Act you come under. You say that the drain is a "municipal drain." The Municipal Drainage Act says the petition must be signed by a ma- jority in number of the resident and, non-resident owners., as shown by the last revived aesessment to be the owners of the land' to be benefited. I find nothing in the Act empowering anyone individually to take pro ecedinge to compel the Council to deepen, widen or clean out a drain. But section 77 says the Commit has power to improve any drain which has been construct ed under any by-law of th&munini pality. It further says ;—"Wheee- ever, for the, better maintainance of any drainage work constrected under the provisions of this Act, or any other Act respecting drain age by local aeeesisment, it is de- emed: expedient 'to improve, ex- tend or alter the work, the Council may, without petition, undertake and( complete the eimprovemellits, extensions or alterations resomin- ended by the report of the engine err at the expenee of the propere ty owners to be benefited, thereby and subject to the right of appeal." And section 78 says ;—The Council may on the report of the engineer make such improvements, at the expense of the lands and proper- ties benefited thereby." And nee. 80 says ;—The.

It may he amiss to remind the readers of The New Era ehoweverathat there is an advantage to rpurehasers in buying early. They have the ad- vantage of a larger (letock to eel - ea. from. They can (take greater leisure in doing their buying and experience more comfort. It is an advantage to the merchant , and his staff of salesmen (and sales- women as well. They are 'not hur ried . by the crowds that throng the Stores Christmas (week and can wait on customers' with more sat- isfaction. Then, it is 'well to buynt home.
