Gentlemen of the Oouncil.+-In greeting you at the commencement of a new civ.ic year, I desire in the first place to pointuut that by recent legislation, and by `the coming into force of the by-law ratified by the electors a year ago, the ward system has been done away with, and we have nowa Council /of seven members instead of a Council of sixteen as heretofore It so hap- pens, also, that this year the majority of our civic representatives reside in the more cen tral parts of the town. and the fact that none of our members reside in what -were formerly the two most westerly wards of the town ought to make as specially careful that the interests of no part of the town should 'su'er neglect at our hands. .I D . OII , I AI Three `years village of Al- llandsle was united to the town, and by the terms of union the electric light system ` was to be extended over that ward forthwith, and the waterworks system within two years from the union. For the first two years after the union there was a reasonable, if not a. legal justification for delay on the part of the town, but for the past year both the electric light and waterworks systems have , been in the hands of the town authorities. I understand that during this past year negotiations were entered into between cer- tain ratepayers of the Sixth ward and the Uouncil with a view to separation, and that the Council intimated that if the vote of the ratepayers of - the town was favorable to separation, the Council would aid the efforts of the Sixth ward to have such separation take place; The vote taken on the subject was, however, a very small one, and I be lieve no action has as yet been taken by any of the ratepayers of that ward subsequent to the vote. This would indicate, as I be- lieve the fact to be, that the ratepayers of that ward. or the great majority of them, have no desire for separation if the contract is carried out at once and this leaves us still bound by our contract. AI__ -._-,__ .,, ls I would therefore earnestly recommend I that the electric light system be extended throughout .Ward Six without any further delay, and that steps be taken atouee with reference to the extension of the waterworke system, so that as soon as the season of A the year will permit. that system also be extend- ed. throughout that ward, as the town is bound by its contract to do. This will, of course. neceasitate the extension of that sys- tem along Bradford street, in the Fifth ward` and give increased re protection in that locality-a. matter .that was long ago urged by the Board of Underwriter . _,,-j I__ al__ .__a_ It is gratifying to he informed by the out- going Council that the first vesr s operation of both eleetrro light and waterworks plants show that they have paid their way so 'iar. Even if this estimate should prove too sanguine, one year's o erations is no {air test. When we eousi or that our water- works system (with the expense of arbitra- tion cost the town between $30,000 and $40,000 more than our engineer's estimate of, value. and that we are taking a new depart- ure in furnishiuqpiight for private consumers with a plant that has been greatly`-enlarged, it is a matter for congratulation that the year's result should show so well. As the number oi` consumers increase; and both systems become further` extended, no doubt t ere will he a better showing from year to year.` `It i is for me to hint out to- the `Council gthat our most.

Free to all, and all are welcome. . True to its record, the last meeting` of the School Board on Monday night was a quor- um breaker, Trustee Smith doing the`uu- graceful act. This left but six members present, viz., Chairman Perkins, Trustees Montgomery, Love, Rhinehart, Reid and Young, hence the Board had to adjourn for want of a quorum, thus ending in an un- bnsinesslike and inglorious manner the Board of 1899. Previous Boards have end ed by resolutions of thanks and expressions of regret to retiring members, but not so this one; there was no vote of thanks` to any person. . A I I As we understand the motions. they pro- vide that if we wholly discontinue the pend- ing action by one o clock to-day we are to be paid our costs due to us bv the Board, but. on the other hand, if we do not wholl discontinue the action by the time name , the inference is that the Board will refuse to pay our costs--in other words, that if we do not also abandon the action so far as the plainti Wiggins is concerned, over whom the Board, or we, have no control. we are not to bepaid the costs of the action. Such a condition is an unreasonable one and one that we cannot comply with. even ii` we were personally disposed to do so, because Mr. Wiggins has rights in connection with the matter which he wishes protected and which he has the right to have protected ; and he is also liable for costs outside what the Board is liable for, for which costs no provision is made. i ' CI?
