Our aldermen neglected to act promptly, and their procrastination led, up to the miserable exhibition of. incompe- tency so roundly condemned by the Underwriters’ inspector, Mr. Howe, in a letter under data of J uly' last, and read by Alderman Sootheran- at a public meeting a couple of weeks ago. a Last year The Post again felt- com- polled to refer in somewhat severe tam; tohe state of the brigade and its studious neglect of; practise and. proper organization.

A court of revision was held last week to confirm the Engineer’s assessment, when Mr. Hugh O’Leary, Q.C., on behalf of sev- eral ratepayers, . appealed against the assessment, and objected, first, that the parties living off the streets ‘ where the sewer was to be construct- ‘ ed, had not petitioned for it, and if they were counted, then the petition was not properly signed; and. second. that if they were liable they could only be asaesed when they built their sewers and drained into it. The prépcsed sewer en Cambridge and _Wellington-sts. was petitioned for under the Local Improvement Act dy :the requisite number of ratepayers, and the council decided to construct the same.

Thanks to the until-in; and intelligently conducted efforts of the Agricultural Department, End the personal efforts of Mr. Fisher, the Minister, the Canadian dairymn has now the knowledge which enables him _to produce the article which the Bri- tish market requires, and the facilities for placing it upon that mu‘ket in? prime condition. There is no ques-l tion that 80 per cent. ot the improv- ed condition of the trade to-dqy' !8 di- rectly traceable to this cause. ' The year Just closed in the biggest : had ‘most promising iuhthe history: of the cheese. trade. but the increase in the exportation of butter to Great 3 Britain is for greater even than that ; _In 1878 the total quantityof butter ex: ported waebut 13.006,®8 lbs.. in 18% it had dropped tn 5,889,241 lbs, or a. genuine, not imaginary. decrease of about .70 per cent. while for. the cur.- ‘ rent year about 20,000,000 pounds will i be shipped to the British market. Of course August is the great chipping month,_$vhen more than 50 per cent. is sent out; for the mouth- ot August, 3997, the shipment was 10,883 c'wt.. in August-of last year, the shipments had grown to 15,736 cwt.; but in Aug- ust. 1899, the unprecedented total, 60,957 cwt., was reached, an average of about 100 tons a day. There can be no question. about these figures, for they are prepared by the British Board of Trade, and no suepiexd‘i' o partiality towards anyone can there- fore exist.
