to fill the vacancy that will occur upon the

resignation of the Hon. David Laird. This

yearly rental of $200. The remuneration

is Sl .

,200 per annum divided among ihe the work of

aud $400 per

iuree Commissioners whiie construction is in progress, annuum, so divided, thereafter.

As to the question propounded by our correspondent ** Citizen,” whose letter was received after the above was written, we can only quote the sections of the Char- lottetown Sewerage Act bearing upon it, as follows :

“22. The Water Commissioners for the City of Chariottetewn, now in office shall continue in office as ‘“‘Commissicners of Sewers and Water supply” until th. time fixed for eompletion of the sai. Sewerage Woiks as hereizafier mentionc. in this Act, ihat is to say, on the second Wednesday, in Mebruary im the year 1901, , and thersefter the election @f the said Commissioners of Sewer aud Water Sup- ply thal) be beld in like manner in all re- spects as the Water Commissioners for the City of Charlottetown are now elected under the provisions of “Charlottetown Water Works’ Act in 1887.’,

“28. Should any vacancy happen ino the office of said Commiss ouers of Sewers and Water Supply by death, removal from the Province, resignation or otherwise, the person elected to fill said vacancy shall hold office until tne next election thereafter, Under the provisions of the Act.

“29, ‘If ary extraordinary vacancy shal! take place in the offise of said Com- missioners uf Sewers aud Water Supply as before mentioned, the persons qualified to vote shailon aday tobe fixed by the Mayor ora mejority of the Councilmen, (such day not being later than than thirty daya after such vacancy) elect from the persons qualified to fill euch office another person to fill such vacancy, and such election shall be held, and the voting and Other proceedings eball be conducted in the same manner and snbject to the same provisions as are | ereinbefore provided for the election of such Commissioners of Sewers and Water Supply.

It is possible that a lawyer mav not be able to find in these sections authority for the resignation of Mr. Laird; though the possibility of resignation and a vacaucy is evidently contemplated. We do not profess to be able to construe the law in a strictly legal manner; and have only drawn from the statute a reasonable inference concern~ ing Mr. Laird’s resignation. The gentle- men who drew the act and had it passed may perhaps answer the conundrum pro- pounded by our correspoadent.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Hon. David Lairi’s salary as Indian Commissioner is to be $3,200 a year,—not $2,400 as stated in an article quoted by Tue Examiner.

—Perbaps the Patriot will explain bow it is that while the daily atrendance at our schools 13 not grea er than it was eigh\ or ten years ago, and the character of the echools not improved, the expenditure is increased by $20,000 a year.
