Many of the indians have raised Good crops this year Aud in some cases their exhibits at the agricultural shows have been Superior to those of the White settlers. The following important paragraph concerning liquor is found in the commissioner s report the liquor question a still in a very unsatisfactory condition Aud while the importation of Beer i think lowered the demand for stronger liquor the ruling of the court that liquor onco admitted under permit can be held by any one and the fast that counterfeits of permits belonging to other people can protest those having liquor almost completely kills the enforce ment of the Northwest act in spite of the efforts of the of the North West territories to prevent the Transfer of permits and puts the police in a Moat unfortunate position. In fast As at present interpreted it is impossible to enforce the act. It in unfortunate that Beer cannot be brewed in the territories under proper supervision. With a great Scarcity of Money thousands of Dol Lars leave the country for Beer while the Cul Ture of Barley is almost utterly neglected except in the North and thus a Large amount of Cash leaves that could be retained at Home the loss of which a severely Felt in a new country.

Petitions for local improvements sidewalk sewer etc., Aro coming in on the usual Liberal scale to the City Council and the committee on works. Such petitions have always circulated freely and signatures Hare been More easily obtained than subscriptions towards the build ing of churches. The time was when the City Council was almost More ready to give than the people were to ask doubtless perverting the text in is More blessed to give than to receive bub for some years Paat the City fathers Havo Felta that there was a limit to their liberality with other people s Money. The people however have continued to feel that if there waa no Merit in asking there was a any rate no harm in it and if they did Nob gain the full extent of their desired they were in no Dan or of losing anything and if their request should Nob be granted the first time they could ask again. The Public will soon begin to realize thak the situation has greatly changed since Bra passing of the act amending the municipal act which was assented to on the 18th of april last. When people now ask for the construe Tion of sidewalks sewers etc., their petitions mean that they want these work done at their own expanse. The City Council a its last regular meeting fixed Che lengths of time within which the various works have to be paid for by frontage tax thus sidewalks under Bix feet wide have to be paid for in three years and those of six feet or Over in five years and sewers in fifteen years. Petitions for local improvements must be signed by at least half in number of the own ers of the real proper Bies to be Bene fitted thereby such owners representing a Lenab one half in value of such real property. If a petition is sufficiently signed the City Council a required to proceed with the work. The conned May initiate a work without a petition being presented when the Council thus pro poses to undertake any improvement if the people object to its being done then a major Ity of the owners representing a least one half in value of Tho properties affected must petition against it within one month after the publication of the notice of the Council s in Tention. When the Council undertakes a work which in consider to be for the Benefit of the Public generally and such that its Cost cannot fairly be charged exclusively to the owners of properties in the Vio indy it May pay four of tenths of Tho cold out of the funds raising the remaining three sevenths by front age tax. The following extracts from the act of the sections and sub sections dealing with the Points mentioned Are herewith Given Section 12. 2 the Council of every City and town May Juass by Laws for the following purposes for assessing and levying by Means of a special rate the Cost of deepening any Stream Creek or water course and draining any locality or the Cost of prolonging any common sower or of opening widening grading levelling paving or planking any Street Lane Alley Public Way or place or of Costiuc Ting any sidewalk Bridge Culvert or embankment forming part of a Highway therein or of curbing sodding or planking in Street Lane Alley Square or other Public place or of reconstructing any work hereby provided for.
