The Job Of 1902. - + The subway questiott- is still heicie the people, and the Whig does not ob- jéet to a discussion of the subject if thereliy the electors can bs made to understand who are responsible for this iniquity. It was in 1902 that the county ap- pealed to the city for its moral sup- port. The city collected the evidence, The city had a map of the depot crossing made by its engineer. The city backed evidence and map for a deputation which appeared before the railway committee on December 19th, 1902, The county pressed for an order, and got it in the evidence which the city presented. The city's profile and map were attached to the order. The city was thus put into a hole, At a meeting of the city council on Janvary' 19th, 1903, a copy of the order re the subway was read. It made the railway liable for the sub- way so fur as the space occupied hy the tracks was concerned. It made the the approaches to the and their maintenance. The hoard of works, led by Alds. McLeod and King, on February 2nd, moved to have the subject re-opened 80 as to make the townships interest ed and the toll rodd company made liable for some of "the expense. First step to get out of the hole into 'which the council of 1902 had put: the city, On February 16th, 1903, the Kings- road com- to have the movenfent against the order amended by strik- ing. its: name out of the same. The board of works © accepted a pro posal of the road company, without prejudice to its right to contend that ithe city was not properly chargeable with any part of the cost of con- structing the subway. Second step towards getting out of the hdle-into which the council of 1902 had put the city. - On March 2nd, 1903, the city solivit- subway pany asked The . sale: han .5 | I am a young man. twenty years old, and & or notified the council 'that the ap- The Stratford Beacon has been cele policy must be won in Britain, not in| yearago 'March I began 1o foel dull apd plication to vary the order re the sub- | brating its semi-centennial. 1 has Canada. x sick, and was greatly trou! s com- way would be heard hy the 'failway concerned, and besides the expenses of the dolivitor and engineer, the city was mulbted in $30, the costs of the road company which the railway com- mittee directed it to pay. Third step which the council of 1902 had put the city. In April, 1903, Ald. Kihg heard that the county was going to ask that the order of the railway committee be made a rule of * court, and he moved that this application be resisted, The solicitor gave notice that he would as requested, but, writing to the council on June Sth, he suid he was by' ino means hopeful of success.

"On June Sth, the council in_a reso- Mlution recited the order of December 19th, 1902, respeeting the subway, also the amended order of March 4th, 1903, subway to the road company in ex: change for the roadway occupied by the tracks, apd the fact that the city was required to pay the county $100 for legal and other expenses. The. re- solution asked for a conference 'with the county to decide "what action should be taken to best serve the in- terests of the county and city." Fifth 'step towards getting the city oiit of the hole into which the council of 1902 had put it, On July Gth, 1903, the solicitor re- ported that he had had the motion of the county, to have the order of the railway committee re the subway, made a rule of court, enlarged to the Ist of September, on the ground. that the original order of the railway com- mittee had been amended without no- tice to the city, Sixth step towards getting out of the hole into which the council of 1902 had put the city. On September 18th, 1903; the city solicitor reported to the council upon #ha result of his appeal regarding the subway, It was fruitless. Seventh step towards getting out of the hole into which the council of 1902 had put the city, The minutes of 1908, contain no fur- ther reference to the case. There had been appeal after appeal, and each had gone against the city. The next heard of it was in 1904, when the county in- sisted that it should be paid the $100 which the railway committee ordered the city to pay over in July, 1908, and the city council complied with this request because it could not help it- self, The money was not paid to Ald. Mowat as alleged. Ald. Mowat had heen long before this been paid by the county for any service he had render: ed to it, and was not in 1904 the county solicitor, Who dominated the council of 1909 ? Ask Ald. King. He appeared to be very busy in it, and he olaims credit for doing some things during the last five years. The subway is going on, and it will cost more thaw any one has figured on. Some say $5,000, some $7,000, and some more. And it is the work of | those who mismanaged the city's busi- ness in 1902, and thus ignored the city solicitor's advice. Editorial Notes.

Henrvek Ar cowski, the Antarctic explorer, pro poses to reach the hitherto unexplored regions of the South Pole by motor car. According to the reports of ex- plorers, who have returned from the inhospitable shores of the South Seas, vast field of smooth ice extends from the © natural landing of the South Polar Sea, which is supposed to ex tend to the Pole and cover the entire polar region. It 'is said to be like' a vast frozen pond." Other explorers have been on that field, but they could not travel fast enough to com- plete their explorations. Capt. Seott travelled over the ice for five months, but his dogs could only make ten miles a day, and in the end he was driven back by the fear of starvation. Mr. Arctowski has an apparently imple plan to overcome these diffi- culties. He has calculated that if he travelled ten times as fast as Capt. Scott did, he would be able to reach the Pole long before there was any danger of starvation. He proposes to do this by using motor ears and the idea is-pproved, as possible, by Capt. Scott. Mr. Shakleton and other explorers also consider the plan as feasible. The motor car designed for polar exploration, will, of course, be a very different afiair from ordinary machines. The wheels, for instance, will be a foot wide, tired with leather 8 and studded! with long, protruding nails. to give them a hold in the frozen snow. Under the car will run a blade shaped like the runner of a Canadian sledge, and the weight of the car will rest on that blade and not on the wheé The idea -is ap- proved by the Belgian Motor Club and experts are now designing the building of the car aml deliberating on the character gnd arrangement of the fuel.
