WALKING THE PLANK,

(To the Editor of the Daily Examiner).

Dear S1n,—As your paper has taken a maniy and independent stand iu affairs, has unsparingly abused policemen and councillors, has even gone so far in tne march of improvement as to recommend a waterwork belfry for St. Paul's Chureh yard (you would not have the courage, | am afraid. to recommend that for St

civic

’ Peter's), I wish that you would direct an-

other attack at that plank on Keoughan’s Seales. It is not this time merely a poor printer who has come to grief.

Yesterday morning, as I was chaperon- ing the Mayor of Montreal through the City, and pointing eut to him the vast improve- Ments that have t ken place during the last fifty y-ars; that twenty five years ago there was not a single pojiceman in town, but now, owing to the rapid increase of Population at the corners, the number of cows, etc. that ther: arc now ten police- Mca to look after the cows alone; how that four or tive cow-catchers and a horse and truck were more than a match fora drunken man of almost any dimensions how the sidewalks in old times were not nearly as good as that in front of the Brenan property,—had just got through a description of that mysterious sawer in Great Geo-ge Street, providentiaily fur- nished with knot-holes to let the water in, —Was ju-t commencing in the shipping in- terests, when, suddenly, my friend’ disap- peared, and instead, at my side was a per-)

A set of shears was run |

pendicular plank, up, and the unfortunate gentleman was extricated and sent to MecNeill’s Auction |. Room. When consciousness returned. the |. dying man was asked if he would have a ‘lergyman. ‘No,’ said he, ‘I want none of your priests, McNeill will do for me. ‘Here’ he gasped, with difliculty, ‘‘ return $1.78 to that boy who gave me #2 for studs last night; and that $40 but it was now all over, These painful scenes are almost of daily occurence, but the plank remains in the same condition, and will remain so, | am afraid, unless you can so work upon the feelings of the Street Committee as to in- luce them to procure a spike (one will do) and fasten down forever that offending plank. Yours, truly, A CITIZEN,

Mewmoriut To Eart Dorrerin.—The fo lowing memorial has been prepared ana will, we understeni, be dispatched to- day :—

To His Excellency The Right Honorable Sir Frederick Temple, Earl of Dufferin, de. de, Governor General of the Dominion of Ganada. he Memorval of the Mayor and Members of Tie Culty Council of Charlottetown, and of ie Innabitants thereof,

Re-PECTFULLY SHEWEIH : —

That your Excelency would be pleased t> exercise your privilege of disailowing a 3ull passed in the last Session of the Legiss ‘ature of this Province, entituled an -* Act .o Amead the Act of Incorporation of this tity,’’ for the following among other rea. sons :

That the said Biil provides ;

Ist. That the right of Assessing citizens ind others whose annual rent is less than

*30 is withheld from the Civic Govern.- ment. 2od. That all City and School rates are

iffected by this provision,

o:d. That the Stipendiary Magistrate who holds office independent of the Mayor ind Council, is given the power to suspend nd dismiss Police Officers at pleasure while the said Mayor and Council are only privileged in the matter of their appoint- nents.

4th. That a misunderstanding on thi-; subject would create differences between | the City Council and the S:ipendiary Mag- istrate, fraught with danger to Civic inter ests.

5th. That while a large revenue is de- rived from the issue of J.icenses, the powers given tothe Licensing Poard pro- vided for by the said Aci, might readily be exercised so as to destroy altogether this said source of revenue.

6th. That the power given to the Sti. a diary Magistrate in the appointment cf

Clerk for his Court and the other powers connected therewith, not only make such Clerk entirely independent of Civic author- ity, but may enable him to act counter to the wishes as well as the interests of citi. zens.

7th. That as the population increases the number of cheap tenements will naturally and proportionately increase, thereby in- creasing the annual losses from Assess. ments, and reducing the prospects of the City in successfully contracting for monies with eapitalists, for purpo-es of permanent improvements.

Sth. That all persons whose annual Rental amounts not tothe sum of ($30) Thirty Dollars are prohibited from having a voice in the election of the Civic authori- tiles.

Your Excellency’s obedient Servants,
