As, PROBLEM OF THE HOUR. The Works' department has a seri- ous problem on hand. It is required to build walks and reconstruct streets, its appropriation is wholly in- adequate. What is an amount of 810, 000 for miles of streets, and for the care and maintenance of the high 'ways ¥ "The situation is a serious ¥ one. iF | In recent years asphalt and grano- lithic have been largely in demand, 'land the property owners, in®some dis- "| tricts, have cheerfully assented to the proposal that the work be done on the local improvement plan. This year the walks are wanted where asphalt should be used, and the sommittoo-has ~ hesitated about laying any more wood- 3 en walks, for two reasons, (1) that the material is inordinately expen- sive, and (2) that its use should not be encouraged, for its life is short, The situation is made the more em. barassing because it is alleged that some of the ratepayers who are affect- ed prefer the wooden walks. wo gf In order to got an expression of : soy {opinion from the council, or in order ny vod ates free 1 . | 10 secure a settled policy, it is recom: Wells & i0., /| thended that wooden walks be laid on Mountain St, Montreal, | the local improvement plan. The vote 3 d fon Monday evening will be a decisive | one. E One thing appears to be certain, that the council cannot lay many walks this season with the amount at its disposal. All the walks should bo of a permanent character. 'Some say they ¢hould- be paid for out of the general taxes. In that case the rate should be higher, probably five mills on the dollar more. And the sum already contributed by the property owners would have to be refunded. -- NEW VIEW OF HEARST. William R.

It presents him in a favorable light, Ar- thur Brisbane, the editor of the Even- ing Journal, one of Hearst's papers, writes, on invitation, in respect - of Hearst's characteristics, and tells that wealth, inherited, is not his greatest possession, that he has force fulness of character, brightness of view, originglity, vigour, intellectual power, and that he has been using all these, and using them well, in the fur- therance of his business. The impression so generally enter taioed 'of Hearst--that he has money and nothing else, that the work as- cribed to him is performed by his hir- ed men--is entirely vovoneous. He is a live journalist, says Brisbane, with complete knowledge of his affairs, vith the skill to discuss any detail of them, and the capacity for any ser vies in the mechanical, the business, Lor. the editorial departments.
