In England the nobility are in evidence as leaders and servants of the people, and it is fortunate that so many of them are moved to labour in that way, ! In Canada the wealthy class is not numerously represented in parliament, and the people have been glad to pet men of the Fielding type to look after They should be paid their business. if their ad mirers see 'fit to give them a benefit, the more surely to secure a contipu- ance of their sacrifices, the country should be satisfied.

It was that some competent one should be asked to make a valuation of the plant, or a report, candidly and honestly and gpecifically setting forth its condition, Ald. Crdig said there was a need for the expenditure of from $50,000 to £75,000 at an early date. Ald. Toye has made a similar statement.
