JAPANH3 ATTITUDE
ON CALIFORNIAN Law.
l_Ol*.'_Iiul~.`, Aug. 9.-The Times' To-
kio correspondent cables that he
learned from an authoritative source
that Japan does not contemplate
matting a test case as soon as the
California land act becomes opera-
tive. Its intention is rather to wait
for an occasion such as may be pro-
vided by prolzable proceedings in the
event of the death of a Japanese land
owner or 'the dissolution of a Japan-
cse company in California when the
uct can be disputed on the basis of
treaty rights solely.
There ls no intention to appeal to
the Hague or to lodge a request at
Washington for granting natural-
ization rlghts to Japanese although
negotiations may be begun for a new
agreement with the WashlnZl'»0l1 811-
thorlties.
It is not expected in Tokio that
there will be any demonstration of
popular feeling on september 10.

cer Johnson, Recorder Martin, Mr.
W. W. Clarke, C'ity Clerk, and all the
councillors were present.
The minutes of the last regularl
meeting and the special meetingB
since. were read and adopted. |
A number of bills certified by the'
Finance Comm ttec were read and
confirmed. |
A conimnnication was read from
the City Surveyor in which he stat-|
ed that on the 6th lnst., he, in com-l
pany with Councillors Campbell and
McLean. bad visited and lnspectedl
the gravel pits on the land of Joseph.
Rooney, Surrey, Lot 48. He survey-
ed two acres which would yield 30,-
000 tons of gravel. This with a g00d
binder could be used with better ad-
vantage. than the Pf¢S€“l¢ Wan?"

necessary to arranfge to have a track
laid to run into the pit and to con-'
struct a siding on Fitzroy Bt., run-l
hlng along Esther street. and also to
arrange with the railway aboutl
freight rates. He explained that a.
revolving screen, with an elevator
for grading the material, also a
small gasoline engine to furnish the
power. would have to be purchased.
Councillor' Wright asked re the flrc
alarm system if the Council did not
pay for a service. He said he had
rung thine or four hours trying to
get central, bilt to no avail, and on
the night of. l’aton’s fire the Police-
men had to go down to the Telephone
Office and waken the operators. The
matter should be attended to at
once. The Telephone Company should
be seen and the city furnished with
en all-night service. 1
His Worship, Mayor Lyons, agreed!
with Councillor Wright. He thought
'the matter should be attendd to at
once. I
A motion was moved later in the`
evening, instructing the Fire Board

Councillar McLean had great iaith
in the proposition, but the city
should not go to any giieat expense,
thought it was alright to buy the
land. He thought the city might get
gravel out of the government Pll-,
probably free, and this would savc
the cost of a traelo.
Councillor Campbell said he was in-
formed on good authority that the
government would give no gravel out
of their pit. A siding would have to
be put into the government pit which
would cost as much as to put. one in-
to the proposed pit. 1-Ie thought the
gravel would not be suitable as there
was too much clay in the pit. He all
so showed that by getting the gravel
from the pit at Surrey a saving of'
$30,000 would be effected. 30,000 tons
et gravel would be landed in Char-
lottetown from the pit st msc. a ton,I
whereas. the imported gravel now
costs $1.75 a ton.
Councillor Taylor thought the
Council would be doing well to take
the opinion of Councillor Campbell,
who has devoted a good deal of time
to the matter, and also give him a
free hand in tlie matter.
i Councillor Welker brought up the
matter of lighting the Hillsboro
Bridge. rie thought the Council had
decided some time ago to light the
approach if the government would
light the bridge.
Councillor Riley explained that the
city’s promise still holds good. They
had been trying for years to get the
government to light the Hillsboro
Bridge.
Councillor Wnllrer brought up the
matter of n sidewalk to be laid on
Orlebar street and also ii wooden
sidewalk which was to be laid on
School street from the corner of Eus-
velling that street.
Councillor McLean said he lived in
that end cf the town and thought
the ash sidewalk was as good as
people were pleased with it and it
would last for years. Councillor Mc-
Lean asked if it was the intention of
the Council to take any action in re-
gard to the drain at Whcatley's Cor-
ter that must he atterndcd to.
Councillor Campbell said some peo-
ple seemed to know more about what
should be done than he did; he would
llilie to know what should be done.
Perhaps the City Surveyor could ex-
plain. .
