Outside Streets Are Warned Ag- ainst Defeating the Bylawâ€" l‘he Frontage System Will Follow ___._+_â€"â€" Bad weather made against the at- tendance at the public meeting to discuss the streets problem on Mon- day night. As it was, nearly one hundred dtizerns- attended and for over two hours gave diligent heed to the matter in hand. Ald. Jackson was in the chair. At the close a. res- olution, moved by J. D. Flavelle and seconded by Mr. J. H. Sootheran, advising council to submit a bylaw for $40,000 to build leading streess, was carried by a practically unani-- mous vote. . Other sums all the way from $20,000 to $150,000 were sugEeSted, but a statement made by Ald. O'Reilly, chairman of the Board of Works, at the outset. that to build even Kent and Bond streets, and those that lead into town from the country would cost over $47,600 made it clear to the meeting that omitting Bond street it would yet be necessary to raise at least $40,000. ALD. O'REILLY'S STATEMENT Ald. O'Reilly said.that the scheme thought of by council included Col- borneâ€"st, Bond, Cambridge, Kent from Lindsay street to the boundary, Victoria avenue from Kent to the freight sheds, William street from. Kent to the station and King and Queenâ€"ate. These would total more than four miles and cost 847600. He believed that if this sum were raised, the yearly rate would not be increasâ€" ed ; for the expenditures on roads and during the past eleven years had; probably equalled the sum required to pay off the debentures. Since 1891‘. the Board of Works had spent from $3500 to over $5000 a year. Half of that had likely gone on the streets and $2500 a year would pay of! de- bentures for a large sum. years $49627 had been spent by the, Board of Works. Half of that or. $24,863 had gone on tho streets and v what was there for it ? Nothing; To pay all 820,000 at 3} per cent $1471 a year would ”be required, to; pay $30,000 would take $2,800 a‘ year, $50,000 requires $36.80 and $100,000 would take $7360 a year. To borrow for a longer period than 20 years would, he understood. re- quire a special act of the legislature. The amount needed to build the streets named Would at anyrate not take more than i a mill on" the asâ€" sessment. Mr. O'Reilly hoped ‘s hearers would discuss the ma then instead of after-Wards talkhg an the streets against what mtht be decided upon. The question to be de- cided was : Do you want u bylaw submitted, and if so, for what amount ? Mr. D. R. Anderson asked if the commissioners to handle the money were to be named in the bylaw- Some objected to that and it might be better to have them elected. Chairman Jacksonâ€"That is a new idea, but I seem objection to it. ’Dr. Vroomanâ€"The council should not only tell us that there are difq ferent way of providing for the cost. of good roads ; they should tell us also which plan they think is but. bylaw is submitted they should endorse it and do their best to pass it. Last summer they would not say a word for those bylaws ; they were afraid of their lives to do it. If I voted to submit a bylaw I would do my beSt to carry it. Ald. O’Reillyâ€"I am on record as in favor of raising a. large sum of mon- ey ; but I do not take any special responsibility for carrying a bylaw. The people must do as they think best about it. If you ask them to vote for a bylaw, they have diaercnt petty reasons why they will not ; well I will let them take the con- sequences ; they must not get the idea. that I am reSponsible for carry- mg their Pcoplc mu“ ’ approval . The either pay for streets or do without! any bylaw that is submitted for. the gravel brought to town by rail very cheaply. The lakeâ€"shore gravel is very good. I have seen it rolled down here and a. Wagon with a 1â€" inch tire and 1} yards of gravel in the box go over it without making a. mark on the surface of the road. Kent street has a first-class bottom and can easily be built. I will vote Of course a steam roller is necessary to start with. Chairman Jacksonâ€"I fax'or any large amount. 1 do not think counâ€" cil can carry a bylaw, nor should they be cxpectdl to. However, I have canvassed a 1000 times more lfor bylaWS in the peat than I ever have for myself. From what I have read I think the frontage plan is not satisfactory in Toronto. The poor- er people are unable to build streets at all. In the general plan the rich share with the poor. T r.""u'."Kfvlieâ€"17nless the time is more than 20 years it Would not do to vote $100,000. We must keep the taxes as low as they now arc, or we shall discourage building opera- tions. Somebody must go behind the bylaw and try to put it through. Col. Deacon declared that the con- dition of Lindsay-st was a “disgrace to a civilized community." Children had to wade through 8 inches of mud, The colonel waxed reminiscent of the days when the farm with half a dozen bags in h'm wagon had to bring along a rail to pry up his out- fit at different points on Kent-st. Then Geo. Jeffrey had built the street and it had been good for 26 years. Aid. O'Reillyâ€"It cost $251000. Col. Deaconâ€"No $8,000. Albert JeWettâ€"About $20,000 was raised aod most of it went on the sewer. Col. Deaconâ€"It made a good street and it would be better now if it had not been dug up so often. If you fix the grade a little and put on broken granite the street will be as good as any. Town Solicitor Hopkinsâ€"I want to see good roads before I die and not afterwards. Col. Deaconâ€"You will escape the mud then all right. Mr. Hopkinsâ€"Most of you expect to be on the gold I suppose. We ought to submit the scheme that is most likely to cm. The roads should be repaired more promptly. If 82000 is spent each year now, capitalize that for 20 yearn : that is. for $100,000 but against $30,000 for I have seen enough patchwork done, streets will know it will not reach them. and vote against it. Barrie has just carried a $250,000 bylaw and a bonus for $50,000 at the same time. I believe $150,000 wilL carry here better than $30,000. There is no better street in the Dominion than Kent and it would have been in good condition today if it had not been dug up so much. Mr. Feeâ€"That's the overseer's fault in not having the back-filling done right. Mr. McWilliams -- Yes, and on Lindsay street where Col. Deacon speaks of, thero were crossings before the good road was built. They were torn up then and never put back. When a hole is to be filled in the road the gravel is dumped in and never spread ; as a result the wa- gons soon make three holes instead of one. Chairman motion. Mr. McWillinmsâ€"I want to speak On this thing ; others were allowed to. The chairman. however. decided that Mr. McWilllams had said enough along that line and that gentleman subsided with a grievance. Mr. J. D. Flavelleâ€"It was a mis- take that good roads were not made years ago. Not less than $40,000 should be raised if the figures quoted here tonight are correct. I am sure that any business concern that tried to get along on its own capital and J acksonâ€"Well make a Mr. James Dickson returned last week from his six months' survey ill the Northwest.

People thinking of locating here would got a batter imâ€" pression of our 3mm. I don't believe there is any other way of reducing our taxes but irm'ircnr'in,,r the toxin and getting more people into it. It will be better to elect the com- misaloners. For my part I would not undertake any more public work than I now am doing. Council does a lot of work, but the members knew that would be required when they took the position. If the outside stmets vote against this bylaw, I have no doubt there will be a strong agitation on the leading streets for the frontage system and if it is adopted the outsiders will be left in M shape. Kent street can raise 810,000 for that a gOod deal easier than pay its share of a general tax. On our property there the charge would be only $150 or some $7.50 a year. whereas in a general system the tax would be 8600. so it would be to our advantage to adopt the from- age plan. but we do not want to take any selfish course. The outside 9 cial gathering and fowl supper “'0 b0“ filias accepted a position of bookâ€"keep- er in the empliyment of Mr. 'I‘. H. Dcch. Monday and Tuesday were Court days and Judge Harding and the usual train of modality lawyers flOOd-v ed our town. The Baptist anniversary service: were celebrated on Sunday and Moor- day. The Rev. Mr. Hugbson preachâ€" ed to large audiences on Sunday and also delivered an address at the so- on Monday _ evening. Other addresses were given and a first-class program of Vocal and instrumental music rend- cred. The weather on Monday was a. little unfavorable but the gathering was very large. The Mission Band of St. Andrew’s church will hold a social in the loo- ture room of the church on evening. As the tickets are only 10 cents and a good program has been prepared we bespeak for the band a. bumper house. Friday If anyone is of the opinion that: there is no genuine mud in Penelon Falls he should visit the field of Mr. H. Brooks and also the stock yards over at. the station. The late. rains and than the tramping of dozens of heads of cattle have reduced oath to a pure cven lake of mud. A person could almost sail in it. So deep and soft is it that it is almost fitâ€"not $80,000 at 4 percentâ€"and you Won't. . istreet should therefore hesntate before ‘quitc, howeverâ€"to be comparml with get money for less. People should not refine to vote for the bylaw be-, cause the road is not to be fixed in front of their doors. The deltntures cannot be issued for longer than 20 years. That time is fixed because iti is supposed to be the lifetime of the, work. Posterity should not be made | loppooing the bylaw. I know every teammcr will save more in wear and tear every year than extra taxes. Those strips between splendid sermons last Sunday. that the streets of nudity. The Rev. B. C. B. Sinclair, B.

The periods vary but all are fixed on the basis of the likely dura- tion of the work for which money is to be raised. I do not think the, legislature would extend the time. I I would rather not see the frontage plan for every street that adopts it is exempt for like purposes elsewhere so that soon the tax would become very high on the parts that had not adopted that plan. Moreover, there is bound to be trouble with the book-keeping which will increase enormously and require at least an- other hand in the clerk’s clficc. I think these places like Toronto that have adopted it will within 5 years give it up. Mr. Jas. Grahamâ€"I do not think any more than $30,000 should be asked for. Do only the leading streets : omit Bond-st from the list. The town will be no poorer by doing this work : the money will be spent here. Mr. W. Flavellch’l‘hc frontage sysâ€" tem might be adopted alongside tho general. Residential streets that want to build could be allowed to do it. 1 do not think $20,000 or $30,- 000 will build the main streets. It in said there are 4 miles of them, and I believe the stretch on King-st cost at the rate of $10,000 a mile. It in none too good, So the 4 miles will cost $40,000 and rt is not much use asking for less. I think $100,000 streets before long. the man who says he will vote against any bylaw, I have no anguâ€"i meat. After further discussion a motion to advise council to ask for $40,000 was carried. 1.
