CIVIC CHANGES SUGGESTED TO THE COUN- CIL BY A WRITER. Further Objections to Laying Walks Under The Local" Tmn- provement Plan--Collection of Taxes, Ete. Kingstun, Jan. 15.--(To the ildit- or): Avother complaint put forth as an excuse for the shortage is that we have outstanding arrearages of taxes to the amount of $0,000 or ¥50,00u owing to the city, end the blame for this state of things is sought to be placed on the shoulders of the tax collector. Is that charge a true one? If it is not, is it not abominably un- fair to that honest official to place him in that false and unwarranted position ? To hey honest «nd square about it," is it. not rather the fact that he is always willing, 1vady and anyious to get in those arrearages, and that the midute he moves by way of taking the necessary steps to do it, in many cases where the strongest reason exists that he should act promptly and firmly, he is interfered with and pulled off by those who should be the last to interfere with an oflicial in the proper discharge. of his 1izhtful duty. lt is also eaid that many of those who are in debt' to the city are as able, and many of them better able, to pay their taxes than are many of those who pay them promptly and regularly, as they be- come due, which is quite right, and every geod citizen should do likewise and thus prevent trouble, expense and injustice to their fe'low citizens. There fote, gentlemen, see that the collestor is encouraged, instead of being dis couraged, in making the derelicts come to time promptly with their just dues, so that the treasury may Le repl mished as it needs to be, and thereby enable us all to have the re quired new end better sidewalks and streets' so much needed, and thereby relieve every section of our citizens fiom being imposed upon in having to contribute towards the payment of work which all should bear their equi table share of, and which should be paid for out of the general revenue of the city. This is a matter whih should . be looked into and attended to by the Property Owners' Association. Many o* our hoardwalks, especially those in the leading streets of the city, are in a wretchedly dilapidated and danger ous condition and will have to give place to new and more improved me tal ones in the ensuing spring; if lawsuits resulting from damage and danger to life and" limb are to be avoided. This I am heartily in favor of, if the cost of them is paid for out of the genoral revenue, which is the fair and just principle to be applied, but am just as strc ngly opposed to > of this work under the able frontage system now in ie, to wit, that of compelling the owners of property adjoining to pay sixty per cent. of the cost thereof because it i; unfair and unjust, and should be wholly paid out of the general funds of the city, just as all other street work is, and because these improvements are needed and used by the general public at large. These being indisputable facts, the new council should set to work in re- pealing this initnitous frontage by law at the very first opportunity which presents itself, as it is alto- gether different in principle to the drain frontage by-law, which is a just measure, inasmuch as all those com ing under its provisions receive al most exclusive personal privileges and Lenefits in being - permitted to drain their premises directly into the main sewers of the city, which effectually carry offi all impure, extraneous and ofiensite matter and odors, leaving the places which utilize them in a clean, safe and wholesome condition, and free from danger, which is n great blessing and satisfaction to those who adopt. the priv ilege, against «whi h notbing can be fairly urged, whi h cannot be said of the sidewalk e home, which is an imposition on the few who come under it, who are by far the heaviest and almost sole pro viders of the revenue of the vity, and whose general taxes, in all conscience, are already sufficicntly Ligh without being further directly taxed to build sidewalks for the use of other people who contribute nothing whatever to- wards the making of them, a species of legislation, adopted for the benefit of the many at the expense of the { low, the very worst kind of class legi:lation, as I Ahat can be con «ived of, and which cannot be abolished too be cause of its atrocious character. It may be urged, to answer to my contentions against the objectionable by-law: that it would be unfair to those who already come under this new sidewalk system snd been subject ed to the expense which it entails, to have the by-law repealed now, To that objection cither "yes" or 'no' must apply. "Yes," if at the time the mew walk was built or shortly prior there- to, the walk already in existence was worn out and unsafe and the new one was thrust upon them without having been petitioned for by them; and "no if the former one was good enough to be used for some years longer. If that were so then the new walk should not have been put down at all, whether asked for or not. In that case pro perty-owners who may have persisted in having the new, though unnccessary one, should be held to the terms of the by-law, and be willing to pay for the work done underit, up to the time of its repeal, they having pre maturely demanded something as yet not needed, but they should be reliey od of such obligation after repeal takes place; when all should start again on equal footing; and the engineer. and aldermen who may have encouraged the doing of the unr sary work at such a time, should iw censured end brought to task thei for. There was too much of that kird of extravagance indulzed in in the old plank walk days under our present ward system, when many of the aldermen gave way the i importunities of soon, too to incessant J voters in various parts of their wards to give them a little better sidewalk here and another there, than they then had, those they already had being good enough, and would have lasted several years longer. ' Finding these demands to be 'difficult of accomplishment unless they could prevail on the members of other wards ed, have already said. similarly situated and pestered," to help them through, which they usually did, on the promise being made by one set of aldermen 'that they would kelp the other through in getting what each wanted, on the principle of one good turn deserving another, or ia other words "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours," when ail these rascally deals wore pushed through every time, regardless of the expense, extravagance and needlossness which these objectionable methods caused, the perpetrators, feeling that they would be looked upen by thwir supporters, as being bully good fellows and everything would be lovely and safe for them in future. Lhis was enother cause of our impoverishment of to-day, and which, doubtless, 'would 'have continued but jor the fact that lumber became . so tremendously expensive as to put the securing of it almost altogether be yond our reach, whith together with the decay which wood is liable to, and thgtendency created thereby of making?that class of walk more ex: pensive in the long run than the more improved, durable and wholesome esphalt and granolithic composites at presint adopted, would be, and at the same time drove out the past rotten and corrupt state of affairs, which wos no small consideration. The street and lawn watering by laws are also all right and unobjec- tionable, because fair, and those bene- fited by "these necessary luxuries -- are rightly made liable for their cost. As this seems to me to be a suitable oc- casion permit me to say by way of conclusion that I trust no member of the present council will be guilty of the of advocating the adoption this" year of any costly as schemes, such as the fancy repaving oi Princess, King, Brock or any other street, when it is well known that the low state of our fimances will not per- mit of it, and when so many other parts of our city are so urgently in actual need of improvement, and oth- er streets require to be opened up and extended, of which, I submit, Syd- enham street is not one just now, at all events. If there are any who are especially interésted in and keen to have the above named streets, or anv one of them, improved, , they should pay for it, as it is not attually requir- and they can be repair- ed and made to answer the purpose they serve, in the old way out of the excellent material, both granite and limestone, of which we lave such an abundance on every side of us and close to hand, which cannot be ex- celled for road making purposes, when properly prepared and broken up into suitable sizes, and material which all other cities in the province would be delighted to be favored with, and which ii situated in that regard as we are they would readily and promptly adopt in preference to the vastly more expensive asphalt which most of them are now obliged to apply in the mak ing of their main roads and streets, for the want of another and just as good but less expensive article, than they now use. We cannot possibly do what they do, in this matter of street making, because of our limited num bers, lack of wealth, and paucity of revenue so extravagant ideas should not be entertained for®a moment by our' council or citizens, when we are so unable to cope with the cost of them. To determine whether a new side walk is needed or not, there ought to be no difficulty. Those near by, con- tinually observing and others using the section regularly by constantly passing over it, including the alder men of the ward as well as policemen, ought to be able to judge whether a new walk "is needed or not from the various - standpoints' which shoulds guide or ought to guide them, who ought to point this out to the mem bers of the ward, who when satisfied of the need, should in turn, point it out to the engineer, who should de termine on the securing of the needed work and decide also that it should be paid for out of the current revenue. This was = the commendable stand which N. C. Polson took some months ago'in your paper, in which, heeause I believe him to have been right, 1 heartily support him. Now, then, finally, I believk that by care, economy, the getting in of the outstanding taxes, the obviating of all leakages, 'such as that created by the expensive patching' of worn-out boardwalks, at which two men at least are constantly employed to do much, irreparable work, which it is in some of the streets, 'owing to the very much decayed 1 different thickness of the material removed and that which it replaces, and entirely worn out sleepers, incapable of holding. the spikes, which are constantly raised by the frost in such 'a manner as to make it almost impossible to cléar off the snow owing to the jar~ine en countered annting to do it, to gether with the additional heavy cost in att Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Cure Costs Nothing If It Fails.
