They are yet dreaming over what Toronto does, and appear to think they shall do well if needed reforms are brought; about for walks. to ’be built next like so many of their predecessors. Council sat in various committees on Wednesday night of last week from 8 o’clock till 11, and did little but look blaxlkly at the problems li- fore them. At one point an older- man became so irate at an expression of a colleague that he got up from his chair and declared he would leavd the hall, and was only prevented from doing so by the Withdrawal of the offending remark. Ald. Storer anxiously observed that the press had cost some reflec- tions on the specifications of thc Walks now under Contht, and hq wondered if there was reson for it.» "What about the charges made by the press, that the walks put. down lately are defective, and that the specifications of these we are going- to build, are defective?" asked he. Mayor Sootheranâ€"Wclll. there is truth in what the paper (The Watch- manâ€"Wurder) said. The walk beside the Simpson House is split and heal‘j ed just as was stated. Ald. Cinnamonâ€"The paper said the walks built here one full had to be shovelled out. the next spring. Is that so ‘.’ .-\ld. \IcCraeâ€"ch: on William-st.

The resolutu'On of council that; town officials handling money should be put under company bonds brought. out the suggestion, that, both mayor and treasurer should sign all town cheques.

The Question was let stand pending the appearance of a general system of town financing, under preparation by the mayor. The clause in the mayor’s address referring to collecting taxes in three instalments was considered. Ald. O’Reilly did not object to making taxes payable at three different but would not have people distressed for non-payment until that end of the year. He would add a small percentage for nonâ€"payment.
