MONEY NEARLY GONE. The appropriation for public works in gone, save and excepting $1,000, and the condition of our streets is simply wretched, It is a question whether the city will not have to adopt the prin viple which applies in Toronto and make all walks on the local improve ment plan. The people have a prefer ence~some for wood, some for asphalt, some for granolithic. They pay their proportion, more than one-half, for the asphalt and granolithic, but the wooden walks have hitherto been laid at the city's expense, There is a mani fest desire to change the procedure. Lumber has become very expensive, so expensive, Indeed, that it does not pay any more to lay it in walks, and the people should realize this and support the council in seeking to construct walks of a more permanent character. Meanwhile, and until. there is the adoption and applisation of 4 general principle, the money at the disposal of the board of works should be some what fairly distributed, The discussion at the council last evening brought out the fact that some wards get more ooden walks than others and the in Ingtice of it lies in that the entire cost came out of general expenditure. It is this un equal distribution of public moneys that ereates dissatisfaction and leads mefi to think that a cure for it might be the election of aldermen by the whole city. The man whose constitu ency was the whole municipality could not afford to pay particular attention to one little division of it, or if he did the electors would pay particular attention to him. the circumstance the | FIGURES WILL DECEIVE, * What is the sense of open and flag rant misrepresentation in regard to suything ? What purpose is to be served by the Montreal Star in pre suming to educate the people to and to delude them. The statistician is very faulty in bis work, or he is deliberate ly deceptive. Which is it? In & recent issue our contemporary gave a list of the woollen factories which had been closed, presumably for the want of tariff protection. In all twenty -#ix mills, containing 111 sets of cards, were alleged to be standing idle, and they were estimated to have an earning capacity of $2,200,000 an nually. On its face the statement was startling. But it is not true. A correspondent of the Montreal Herald, one who travels about and knows the facts, states that seven of the: mills referred to have not a sei of cards, and have been closed from eight to fifteen years; two others have been closed Spasmodically, and al | most permanently, for eight years; and the average output of the other lead ing mills during the last three years has been in excess of their output in the provious ten years. "On the whole the conditions of even these mills," says the traveller, 'do not seem to be so bad as they were in the time of the National Policy." The same writer adds © "We have at the time over 200 sets of woollen cards and worsted combs be operated in the pro vince of Ontario alone, and over 100 sets in Quabet and the maritime pro- { vinoes, which means in the aggregate jover 300 sets, exclusive of any mills | mentioned in the above list, and pro ducing approxiumtely mitfons per wx annnm."

The petition for the annexation of Portsmouth to the came before the council last and was re ferred fo a special committee. The position of the village is briefly recited in the petitign. The popula tion is 700; the assessment, $116,055; the rate for generdl purposes, is eleven mills, for public schools, seven and snd one-quarter mills, and for separ ate schools, twelve mills. The county contribution ix 85675, and the village's proportion of the county's indebted ness," which will all be paid off in 1909, is wot $2,000. This indebted ness the ity would have to assume in the event of the village's annexation to the city. The city would gain fin the increase of population and ao foe and con requent addition to the public re venues, but it- would have liakilities, including the share of county debt which will absorb the larger part of change. It desires water, light, police and fire protection, and these cost money. The expene of carrying the public utilities bevond the present boundaries and into the limits of the next municipality must be very heavy. There is a great gap between the city and the village, and it is the bridging of this that makes the annexation of Portsmouth to the city a costly pro epuding. 2 However, the matter has gone to a committee and it 'will look into all the facts and report upon them.
