The general scheme of city gtading came in for some more discussion at last night's council meeting. The mayor pointed out that to go ahead with this scheme would plunge the city into debt exceeding 20 per cent of its as- sessment which was contrary to the rules of the Municipal Act. It was his opinion that this general | scheme should be left until the | lands of the government. and Grand Trunk Pacific are brought under taxation. Ald. Rochester drew attention to the fact that in big work line this it would probably be the best have big contracting eompanies, who make a business of making hard surface streets, come in and put down sample blocks at cost. It would be bet ter to have the work done by con. tract. Ald. Currie was also in favor of having the work done course to when the time came, by tender from contract. A motion, made by Ald. Casey and seconded by Ald. McRae, that a committee of three be appointed to examine the Municipal Act as to borrowing powers, to evolve a general policy for rough grading and suggest amendments to the Municipal Act covering the difli- culty of the city financing, was earried. This report will prob- ably be the basis of work that may be done by next year’s council along these lines.
