Owing to the pressure of importâ€" ant local matters, our usual editorial and volumn We understand that Ald. CurRIER ha been waited on by 2 number of his friends and those who approve of his manly and straightforward course at the Council Board, and that on their urgent represenâ€" tations he is likely to withdraw the rather hasty announcement of his unwillingness to contest the election for St. George‘s Ward.. We are aware how annoying it must be to a man whose sole desiré is to protect the interests of the public, to put to tiotnubloofnmt‘na having been prevailed upon to offer himâ€" self. But it is only one of ine annoyâ€" ances to which conscientious public men are daily subjected. Ald. Currizr went into the Council a year ago. He had everything to learn in connection with administration of Civic affairs ; and as course in the past year has met with general approval, we have no doubt that the electors of the Keystone Ward will send him back by a large majority, seeing The Times. that he is now in harnessâ€"in thorough working trim, and with the experience of the past year to guide for the future.

He then asked for nominaâ€" tions when Alexander Christie moved, and Aldermau Heney seconded, W. H. Waller as a fit and proper pe.son to be Mayor of Ottawa for tfio year 1877. Ald. Hxxzy, in seconding the nomina tion, said he would testify to the satisâ€" factory manmner in which Mayor Waller bad performed his onerous duties during the ten months he had been in office. He had never been chary of his time when the inte ests of the city were conâ€" cerved, nor of his trouble, and he never spared himself. He (the Mayor) would doubtless p »duce facts and figures which would prove not only what be had done in the past, but what he was prepared to ! do in the future. (Cheers.) ol $253,032.22. On this amount they claimed $24,116.74 extras, The Corpon(ion went into their b..l of extras, with the asistâ€" auce of the City Engineer, under the proâ€" vision of the contract and specifications, and reduced the bill to $2,253 85, which the centractors finally accepted as a satisâ€" factory seftlement. (:]:I;hvn.) In the case of the Victoria Ward sewer contract, things were not so satisfactory. The total amcant of the contract was $32,â€" 148 48. (On this amount Mtr. Crain had been paid $30,208 26, leaving a balance due him of $1,850 z2. This amount Mr. Crain coald have got at any time within the last three mwoiths if he would comply .@ith the instructions of the Engineer and »waish his contract,, but that gentleman preferred taking legal advice and notifyâ€" ing the Corporation of ‘a suit for $32,000 extrasâ€" (laughte~)â€"a sum &u:l to the whole coutract pno:snthor come to an arrangeir ont with the City Engineer. Mr. Crain, he considered, was acting injudiciously, as he would get all tie law he required in the cuoilndno more extras in the end than omi&ht bave had by an amicable settleâ€" ment. It is stated that heavy extras were to be presented on account of the City Hall, but they had to be investigated by the light of the contract, the specifica tions and the interpretatio us of the archiâ€" tects, and no more paid than the chimn‘ would be justly entitled to.

(Applause.) â€" It would t us be seen that our indebtedness was c nsiderably under the smaliest of the four Canadian cities quoted, and there was this much to be said in favour of the creation of the debt that it was necessary, and further that the city ‘had value for every dollar of it in bridges, the City Hall, the main sewer, in permanent imâ€" provements on the streets, and in a sysâ€" tem of waterworks unsurpassed in e& ency in any city of the gominion. (Ap plause.) in the protection from fire our waterworks had sayed property to an amqunt equal to the whole gbonturo inâ€" debtedness of the city. The fire record for the year, obtained from Chief Young, showed 104 alarms. property destroyed to the value of $15,156, insurance thereon $11,450, leaving an actual loss of proâ€" perty d,nri.ng the year of only $3,666. Undâ€"r the old systera, taking into ac equni: the localities in which most of these fires or:gi:ntod, it was not too much to say the destruction of proâ€" perty might have been $500,000 or threse quarters of a million of dollars: He reâ€" ferred to the orderly condition of the city, and the marked exemption exhibit! ed of the more serious crimes zulhr to larger cities, and thought that people of Ottawa had reason to congratulate therâ€" seives on the very economical figure at which h;fmd order had been maintained, and the offender against society brought to justice.

He commenced by Treturning his sincere thanks to the elecâ€" tors for the very great honour conferred in returning him by acclamation to the high position as Mayor to the City of Ottawa. He looked upon it as a mark of satisfacâ€" tion on the part of the ratepayers for the mamner in which he had endeavored to discharge the duties of his office during the past year, aad the confidence in his discharging the duties io be devolved upo: him during the coming year in as efficient and un(futinl a manner as possiâ€" ble. He wou‘d endeavour not to disapâ€" point their exp« stations in these respects, and during the current year he would give alil the time and attentica he possibly could to the csreful supe vision of and attention to the affairs of t. e city, (Apâ€" plause.) Re was glad to congratulate them on the conditioa in which they found the city affairs at the end of the year. Notwith standing thas a gi ‘at deal iad been said about mismanagement, the condition of the city finences was equal, if not superior to that of any other city in the Dominion. In 1872, with a rate over 14 cts. on the dolla», they had a deficit of $56,000. In 1373, with a rate over 1i cts. on the dollar. they i rid a deficit of $70,000. In 1874, with a rate cf 1 9â€"10c on the dollar, they had a deficit of nearly $82,â€" 000. In 1875, with a rat» of over lic on the dollar, they had a deficit of $70,000, and in 1876 the rate was only a fraction over 1i3 on the dollar, and no deficit. (Immense applause.) This was in itself svfficient evide._ce of how the city affairs had been managed d aring the past year. The present Council, eof course, were not infallible, but they were the most pruâ€" dent and economical in their maragement of the affsirs entrusted to their care of any Council that the city had hu?l‘oi many years. Another proof of the asserâ€" tion was found in the fact that the total expenditure for local improvements dur ing the year a little exceded $23,000, as compared with $66,000 in 1875, and over $70,000 in 1874. Daring the year the main sewer, the Chaudiere bridges and the City Hall had been satisfactorily comâ€" pleted, and the Major‘s Hill i:?lroveâ€" ments advanced as far as means afftorded. Ap;i at deal had bean said about the latte : expenditure, bat all he rigreited was that inste 1i of two or three acres, the city was rot in a position to acq iire 100 acres to convert into a suitable park for the hea‘th and corafort of i;ho citizens. (Applauce.) In the manner in which the main sewer coniract had been closed, an evidencte was also found of the careful way in which the Corporation attended to city: affairs. The total amount vd the conâ€" tractors, Mesirs. Booth & Murphy, was ti is â€" Specchâ€"A At 10 o‘clock yvesterday morning the nomination for Mayor aid Aldefmen were opened by W. P. Lett, City Clerk, in the Ciy Hall. A large numuer of the most prominent citizens were present. _ He thought that toâ€"day, judging from public apinionâ€"the pressâ€"and from. what he could gather himself, his work would be of the very easiest, more especially as he was glad to see that his Worship Mayor Waller would be elected by asclaâ€" mation, as well as most of the Aldermen. Mr. Lett, in opening the proceedings, wished the audience in Gaelic, a Happy Christmas, and quoted the followiug lines : " One roiee may rouse a thous@nd souls, One touch may start a th ~usand springs, Unto® breeze the Ocean rol‘s, And to a star creation sings ; A single arm has kingdomg rent One spark may fire a continent." Ottama fcc enthy siasm The Returxixs OrFicER asked if there were any other nominations for Mayor, and after waiting the usual time, deciared W. Hi. Waller Mayor of the City of THE NOÂ¥INAT:ONS. HIs WORSHID THE MAYOR the year 1877, amidst great A _ Splen id Financial Statem on( $10,488,000 . 5,311,800 â€" 3,635,740 . 1,596,049 _ 1,868,166 ) was about $17,000. If from this the fines anc fees of the Police %r irt for the year Iwero deducted, the amount would be reâ€" ‘ducecl to $13,250. (Applause.) He comâ€" ; plimented the members of the police force | as being an orderly, we‘l disciplined. and | active set of men, zealous in the discharge ‘ofth'eir Jdutles, and also referrred to the | officials of the city as being as competent as any in the Dominion, and their books showed a reflex of the city affairs at the end of the year in so clear and sa«isfactory a manner that they were ca.s)nblo of bo:s underst 0d by m\{ one at all acquain with accounts. Notwithstanding all that had been done Curing the past year, a great deal more required to be done to put the city in a state of. health, comfort and convenience for the citizens, and it would be for the Council of 1877 to devise bow these desirable improvements were to _2 accomplished. . The health of the citizens required th«t two dumping grounds, the oue east and the other west, should be provided for the refuse of the‘city, and a regu‘ar system of scavengers for the reâ€" moval of garbage established. A house of 1 refuge and industry for the old and inâ€" f :m and for the reception of young offendâ€" ers for the first time should {o one of the instilutions of every well regulated city. The want was badly felt here, and skould be srpplied as early as pos «iâ€" b‘e. But the most essential improy > ment that ithe ?i" b.xequirod was a persect system of subsid drainage. The huldyz and corn.fort of‘.xe citizens absolutely mi:irod that this improveâ€" ment should provided at the earliest possible moment; besides, the $200,000 expended on the main s@Wer WAS so much money buried under ground to little avail until a syste~n of subsidiary drainage was _ connected therewith. The subsidiary drainage, however, or any other permanent improvement in the fut re could only be had by special taxation or local assessment. No imâ€" provement of any magnitude corld be | doue in Ottawa in any other way for years to come, and it was well that the citizens should understaad (this ness favourably 2 ud improve times locally. Fourth â€"A great s: ving would be effected in selling debentut » in a lerge bulk sam, instead of px dling taem in small sums of two, three, five or ten thousand dollars. The City of Toronto was conscious of this fact, as it was only a few weeks ago that they asked for $604,000 debentures for various local improve nents of .mb x« 1t character. Urder the opera of t e prese~; Local Assessment Byâ€"law the works proposed in the City Engineer‘s statement would not be accomplished in 20 years, and the question was, how was it otherwise to be accomplished ? His f’.‘:f“‘im“ was this, and he found several ing citizeus to, approve of itâ€"let each ward tax itself for its own improvements â€"provide for the whole of them at once, and then no jealousy or sectional fw could arise, and‘this would be the lrptmmut(ky law whol:l. instead of retail. _ (Laughter a use.) For round numbers he ..’fifi' say $350,000 â€"for . the h‘)m-uu proposed instead of $311,000, and per ceut cheaper than if performed in a pieceâ€"meal way and extended over 15 or 20 years. Thirdâ€"expending $350,000 in three years in Ottawa, equal to about $11,000 per annum, would ko t all busiâ€" necessary . to give th‘ i; a start in Ottawa, to bring about again a state of gro-perity. We had now over 500 vacant ouses here, and we would and must have more if public works were not star â€" eu in the city, or some provision made for the employment of the people. Our abject should be to fill up those vacant houses again, help to build more, and put Tatepayers into mt:» contribute to the general revenue of city. To this end we must have, in addition to public works for a few years, manufactures established n wier a. once, 1i> as to pr:g:n them: se.v3s for the exigencies of future. I ; was most desirable from every point of view, that these improvements should be provided for and comâ€"menced at as early a date as possible, zid completed, say within three years from this date. These were urgent reasons for such a course of action. Firstâ€"the works were absolutely necessary.

His Worship reminded: them that according to the predictions of old and experienced lumbermen, in 10 or 12 years hence the lumbering operations on the Ottawa, which was the great staple trade of this section, would be very greatly dim@aisl :1, aud Ottawa consider ably affected t eceby, and now was the time, in the broad interests of the oitf, ta take steps to i1gmentithe present lumâ€" ber manufactories, and pave the way for supplying their places with other manuâ€" fectories when they should give out, Ifit was true, as he had seen stated in a city newspaper, that iron could be smelted by crude petroleum at & cost of $6 per ton, there was no reason why we shou‘d wot have extensive iroa works he‘e, which would give em: loyment to 400 or 500 men, A boot and shoe‘ establishment was also reqived. It was true that there was such an establishment here at the present time, but its operations were curtailed from the very first for the want of sufficient capital. A paper manufacâ€" tory was another institution that might be established here, and woild pay from the start. In co. clusion, he thanked the audience for the attention they had given his remarks, and assured them that durâ€" ing the ensuing year his best judgment and energies would be used in coâ€"opera: tion with the Council to prudently manage the city affairs, and aid in ou‘:sronn; the general prosperity, aad he d say both for the Council and himself that at any time they wouald be most willing to reâ€" ceire advice from leading citizens, and to coâ€"operate with them in every we« possiâ€" ble ton ards the establishment of a prosâ€" ‘ perous cordition of things in Ottawa aga‘n . j ‘ ALDERMAN ROWE, P who after some introductory remarks contended that the administration of civic affairs for the year jast closing had been marked with eccnomy and efficiency and was on tfle whole,fsatisfactory. Thelabour: ing man had not now to complain of the cheque greivance as he had for ma.bnsy years g:lt, the issue of the $130,000 debentures ving cleared off this and other indebtâ€" Acness. In reference to the co..dition of tue streets he differed from his colleague (I ang) aud belie ed that our streets would compare favo. ably with those of any other city in Cansda. He thought that the taxation was quite high enough, as much as the ratepayers could bear, and was opposed to any further expenditure which would increase the burden. What was now wanted he though, was manuâ€" factories, to give employment to our|peoâ€" ple, and he was -:mngly in favour of enâ€" couraging them by every possible means. In conclusion he said he had endeavourâ€" ed to do his duty ; his record was Before them, and he placed himself in the hands of the ratepayers. (Applause.) i After an able speech from the other alderman of the Ward (Mr. LeSueur), the meeting dispersed. the assessment of the same number of lots on a suburban street ; but tae erroneâ€" ous impre.sioas on the subject arose from the assumption that a reasoaable propor tion of our taxes had been spent on some streets, which was not the case. The fact beâ€" limestone. He had so leavened the filublio mind that limestone as a macadamâ€" ing material was dead, and would soon be buried.
