In view of the proposed Bylaw to be

Brueeelo on Monday, May 9th, it will be
quite in plaoe to stale certain faote that
will be of interest and perhaps clear up
some points relative to the notion of the
Conned! and show the benefits to be de•
rived when the Bylaw carries,
The two wooden sewers now on Taro -
berry street were put down in the year
1878 and with other etreet improvements
then made involved an expense of 412,200
for ,whioh debentures were Bold to run 20
years, bearing 7% interest. These with
the 220,000 due on the Ronald bonne, also
bearing 7% intereet, mature this Sum.
mer, wheu it will be necessary to issue
new debentures as the sinking fund was
not established soon enough to have the
neoeeeary funds in band to meet the full
amount. Twenty years has played out
the old sewers, as was demonstrated last
Fall by the numerous cave-ins and on
Mains opening up the the timber was
found to be badly decayed. This being
the Dees it beaomee a matter of necessity
rather than choice to renew -not with
plank again but eomething more perman-
ent, viz., regular sewer pipe, whioh will
probably be put deeper than the present
sewers to ensure better drainage to the
v0rioue cellars.
In 1878 Mao work was done by striking
a general rate on all ratepayers but if the
proposed By-law parries the plan adopted
will be by what is known as frontage tax,
the properties immediately benefitted
bearing the expense, less an amount to be
deducted for benefit to street drainage or
adjacent properties. Of course the in-
dividual amount would not have to be
paid in a year but upon an equable a0-
eesement divided over a term of years,
the money being procured by debenture.
Some advocate one sewer in the centre
of the etreet from the Town Hall to the
bridge and others consider that one on
either aide, as at present, would be better
and think the work should be carried
South as far as St. John's church. No
objection would likely be raised to the
extension under the By-law as the coat
would have to be borne by the properties
sharing in the advantegee of better drain-
age. An estimate as to oast of both
lana
one or
two sewers will w I bore aced
P P
o that a fair comparison may be made.
What is true of the sewers is equally
°creat as it relates to grattolithio walk.
t is next to impossible to secure good
umber for eidewalking and the prices are
dvanoing every year. Granolithio is the
walk for the future and owing to its per-
manency the difference in the Dost is not
early ae great ae people often imagine.
a case n oontraot were let for new walk
n Turnberry street under this Bylaw
t would be paid for by frontage tax as
utlined above, and the present plank
alk would be utilized in renewing walks
n other streets. Of course the Bylaw
will apply to all or any etreet in Brunets,
be question of new walk, being taken
ut of the power of the Council and
laoed in the hands of the property own -
re who, by a majority petition in any
look, could have whatever style of walk
ey desire, of course having eome regard
reefuniformity ae to width ou the seine
.
The oarrying of the By-law does not
ceesarily imply that a foot of the walk
as to be laid this year but these two
eetione will be submitted conjointly s0
to save expense in getting the voice of
e people, as they have the power, As
when the work would be done would
volve entirely on the urgency of the
operty holders. The gelation of gran.
thio walks while new to Brussels, has
en thoroughly tested in the cities,
wee and villages of this and other
avinoe0 and where 000, inaugurated
pplante any attempt to ooutiuua on the
lines of plank or growl. The walk is
most indestructible if properly laid
wn and owing to keen competition
cgs have been brought down so as to
quite within the reaob of the smaller
nioipali6iee, Figures as to cost per
t will be given so that each ratepayer
ay approximate the poet to himself by
ertaining the frontage and the present
eaement, One advantage in having
walk laid on Turnberry street the
e season the sewers are put in is that
make the collar oonnoetione with the
sewer a large share of the present
k would have to come up and another
at is that in borlowibg the money a
er rats of interest could be obtained if
bulli euro instead of eub.divlded.

I have been requested, by the membere
of our Society, to extend to you our most
sinoere sympathy, whioh we one and all
feel for you, in the lose you have eaetain-
ed of a loving husband and father, Still
we know that in sorrowing you do not
sorrow se those without hope, and we
think sometimes sweet thoughts will flit
across your memory a, in fancy you hear
your loved one Baying :-"Be faithful a
little longer; we shall 0oon all be home."
We trust that God's Holy Spirit may
comfort you in this hour of tribulation
and for all time to Dome, and when death
comes t0 you, as it must come to all, it
wilt be regarded in the light of triumph.
When at that last day the hands of your
loved one will be stretched out to web -
come you borne, what a happy meeting
it win be where there are no more part-
ings and harmony reigns forever. There
is however: -
"One less at home,
The charmed oircle broken,
A dear face missed day by day
From its aoonetomed plane,
Bat cleansed, saved, perfeoted by grana
One more in heaven."
