THE RESULT OF THE VOTE.
As was expected, the ratepayers have voted against the trunk
sewer bylaw. The vote, while light, was unmistakable.
ver much the people want a trunk sewer, they do not want the
kind of trunk sewer proposed in Saturday's bylaw.
most directly affected, those living in the vicinity
Creek, were the most active in opposing the scheme.
The opposition was not to spending $75,000, or an even larg-
er sum, on a proper trunk sewer. The opposition was to spend- |
ing that amount of money on a sewer that was left unprovided
with a proper outlet to tidewater. The opposition was to the

quite prepared to endorse a sewer project that will provide for}

the sanitary disposition of the gerbage after collecting it.

The opposition is also in the nature of a vote of no confi- |

dence in the Health Officer, who contributed to the Council's
downfall by reporting to them that ‘sewage matter, well diluted
and exposed, becomes rapidly inecuous” and that “an open sew-
er passing through a populous district, however objectionable,
nct necessarily a danger to healih.’’ These sanitary ideals on
which the Health Officer urged the prosecution of the scheme to
empty the city’s sewage into Hay’s Creek are so contrary to those
popularly held that they doubtless contributed largely to the by-
law's defeat.

Even if an open sewer passing through a populous district of
Prince Rupert could be proved to be a source of health — and
some doctors recommend sulphuretted hydrogen, the gas which
lends character to decayed eggs, as a remedy for indigestion—
an elixir so offensive as an open sewer could never hope to prove
popular with the multitude.

It will be one of the first duties of he next City Council
bring down a scheme for a trunk sewer connecting with tide-
water. It will pass the rate payers without a dissenting voice.

touch of her old manner.

“That is what struck Elsie,” he ad-

why I couldn’t marry Aunt Louisa

right off, and then we could all live
together sociably.”
“Oh! And what did the lady say?”
“She thought it was a great joke,
until I said that unfortunately I had
made other arrangements. Then she
guessed her nieces had got a bit out

“Have you seen the poor fellow

up to find Constance caring for me—
in your house.”

He tried to break in upon the trend
of her thought. This was by no means
the line he had intended to pursue,
His hope was to soothe and calm her,
to part from her in amity and without
giving her cause to deplore a loss of
dignity.

“IT am only too pleased that when
illness overtook you you were com:
mitted to my care and to Constance.
Poor girl! She thought you were
dead.”

“Did you tell her that?” j

“No, but I allowed it to be assumed,
which is the same thing.”

“When did she know the truth?”

“In the hotel—after you left the
room. I had to say something. It was
better—for you—that I should say

 

you were my wife.”

“So, even in that trying moment,
you strove to shield me from unjusié
suspicions. Stephen, how could }
have acted towards you as I did?”
