THE CITY AND THE WARDS.

How slight a thing might have affected the future gov-
ernment of the city was seen last night when the bylaw to
divide the city into three unequal and inartistic fragments was
defeated. The debate showed that not a single member of the
Council really wanted three wards, neither the Mayor, who
spoke for the bylaw; Alderman Kirkpatrick, who introduced
it, nor Alderman Hilditch, who supported it. All of them in
turn announced that they individually did not care a rap whether
the city had two or three or a dozen wards, All of them inti-
mated that they would prefer to see the city with no wards.

And yet with no convinced or convincing advocacy behind
it, the city would have had three wards thrust upon it but for
the chance return to the Council of Alderman Newton, whose
vote just turned the scale against the proposed redivision of
the city.

The decision to give the bylaw months
satisfaction. Ward 1 contained

Ward 2, which—inadvertently, perhaps—had for an append-
age the tenderloin district, and then to give each of these
artificial divisions an equal] representation of three members,

a division that

 

as

was apt to be interpreted—or misinterpreted
placed the government of the city at the mercy of the down-
elements.

The hotelmen—and the residents of the too,
for that matter—are entitled to fair representation on the City
Council. The proposed division might have been used to give
them unfair representation.

The only argument advanced was that the proposed divi-
sion brought the assessed values of the different fragments to
a near-equal status. This attitude, while admittedly contem-
plated in the Municipal Clauses Act, is based on a wrong con-
ception of representative government. It makes dollars, not
citizenship, the test of value. In a city like Prince Rupert,
