Royal Baking Powder costs only a

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

Other people should be reminded of
the fact that the law has heavy pen
alties for those who are negligent In
this regard.

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! In
the meantime we'l hand It up and
wait."
