Tuesday Night's Meeting Of the Town Council Was Wurm•Quite In Keep-, ing With the Weether. Cause:— the, Sidewalic Question. The position of the granelithic walks —whether inside or outside the trees-,—, has been, a bone of contention ever Pince the work was uedertaken. Neither side has yes convinced the other,nor does there seem much probe- lailty of such a consummation being *night about. The "Inners" say that %nth the trees planted nine or ten feet frem the fence line, outside walks on lehding streets are all wrong as they nerrow the highways too much. They say that had the trees been planted three or four feet from the line outside walks would have been just the thing. Nor do they exactly approve of in- creasingthe holdings of the property holders to such an extent. The “Out- ers," on the other hand, claim that the streets will be quite wideenough with the Welke outside the trees pat such • walks are easier kept clean in the win- ter and better lighted in the leafy months. • Over the Rattenbury street, South side, walk the Fathers had quite a time. The Board of Works disagreed. ',Some ofthe members Would have the walk outeide the trees while others Were equally insistent for the inside, Akr the result there was a row, hot words exchanged and. the werk stopped, The question was dis• cussed Tuescley night. Messrs.: Plum - neer, Bell and, Johnson Contended .,that the street was tpo prominent for an outside walk as it would narrow it toe Much. But Messrs, Walker, Mac- yenzie, Cornbe and the Ma,yor argued to the contrary .and carried their point: Three other petitionefor, walks were presented: Rattenbury street, north ,side, from Gibbings street to the Pal, ace ; Ontario street, north side, from the easterly limit of the corporation to the Methodist; church:: Townsend street from Mr. Hovey% to Taylor's cornet, The Ontario- street petition calls for the walk inside the trees. Mr. R Irwin addressed the council at some length on the question , of assessnaent. He'claimed that while he was assessed hve hundred diallers rnore for a piece of Albert street property than he was offering it fors there:were numerous instances Where the assess. merit, was that moch naore lower than the actual cash value. Ile did not consider; that he was receiving justice • and asked the council to reconsider theSnatter: Mayor Xacksoo replied that the court of revision iiitYleg met and passed upon the assessment roll, he did not think it incumbent upon the council to reopen the question at all. With this Mr. Irwin was forced to content him- self though he intimated he would ap- peal to the judge. Mr. Hiram Hill, the Wesley church contractor, asked and obtained per. mission to use the losier hydrant while his building operations are in progress. Chairman Bell repotted that plans for the beautifying .of the cemetery were being carried. out, the trees trimmed, etc,, Me, The work is being done under the ,superintendence of Mr,' Reynolds who has already done so much towards enhancing the appear. nape of God's Acre. , Take any of our photo- graphs and compare them with the individual.

The decision to build was no doubt arrived at because of a belief that $2250 would be a suffl- dent outlay. The architect said $5500 was ample and,Woula allow for frills. However, when the councillors as- sembled yesterday only one tender was laid before them and theligure nismed was $3125. They were taken aback at this, it was nearly $1000 more than they had reekoned tmon, and a Strong effort Was made to postpone action until the December session so that more tenders could. be secured. A. resolution to this effect was moved and. seconded by Lockhart and Fergu- son, respectively. In amendment to the motion it was moved by Keyes seconded by McLean, That $3000 be voted for the com- platen of house according to plans and. specifleations, The intendment wile earried the following vote ; Yeas—Connolly, Chambers, Hayes, McLean, Miller, Kerr, Spackman.
