'ada. Judge street improvement's. This will al ways be the case so long as the char ter remains as It is. Another unsatisfactory provision of the present charter Is that outside the intersections each property own er must pay for all work done in front of his property no matter what that work may be. This often causes grave Injustice. For Instance when Main street was paved a street sewer bad to be constructed and it extends down tbe center of the street to the fiver. At the south end of Main street the sewer is small and as it Dears the river It necessarily becomes enlarged. So It cost far more to lay the sewer through the last block and the .property owners In that block were heavily assessed to meet the ex pense. Yet they received no more benefits from the street sewer than do the property owners at the up per end of the street. When this work was done tha In justice of the system was plainly seen yet the council had no alternative. It was necessary to make each prop erty owner pay for such work as was done in front of hit property. To have done otherwise would have been a violation of the charter. Under the charter amendment that has been drafted with reference to treet work the city council Is given vide latitude. The city may pay for work when the council considers It J.ist that the city should do so and the property owners In the Improvement district are to b assessed In accord ance with the benefits to be derived fiom the work that ls done. Under this syistem If the council acts with proper Judgment exact Justice will be meted out to all property owners. Under the charter change proposed end which will be voted on along with other amendments May 9 the city will have power to do what It considers right. At the present time the powers of the council are arbi trarily defined and the city ls often forced to be unjust even when It does not wish to be. What do you think, Mr. Voter, la not the street improvement amend ment a good thing and should It not Ve adopted? spread and destroy whole forests. Other people should be reminded of the fact that the law has heavy pen alties for those who are negligent In this regard. Seldom Is China entirely free from a serious situation of some sort. FAIR PROPOSITION. Well," said Farmer Hayseed to the artist, "how much will 'ee paint my farm with me standin' In t door for? "Oh, 5 guineas," said the artist. "Done," replied the farmer; "coora tomorrow. In due course the painting was fin ished. But alas! the careless artist had forgot to paint the worthy far mer on the picture of his farm. "Yes, I like it," said the farmer, "but Where's me, lad Where's me?" The error he had made flashed across the artist's mind, but he tried to pass it off with a Joke. "Oh," he said, "you've gone Inside to get me my five guineas." "Oh, have I?" retorted the nettled old chap, "perhaps I'll be comln' out soon, and If I dew I'll -pay you!
