Third Slreet Improvementa At thc court of revision under the Third street improvement bylaw last evening, the chief spokesman for the ratepayers was William Morden. Messrs Alexander, Sargent and Summers took pari. lhe points upon which information was sought were: 1. Tie city proposes to pay a total of fiy, on the whole cost, Imt the several street intersections measure (100 feet, which at the estimated cost per foot would amount to (liboo. The city ihould l>eai ils share on the basis of lhe average cott. a. Many property ownen hue air ady spent considerable money in clearing and grading streets adjacent to tins property. There sliould be made due allowance for such work. 3* The total estimate is ftu,* 00, Imt should the actual cost be lore or* less than this, tht rale voiihl vary accordingly. 4. The lime of repayment (five years) is too short, and makes lhe payments too heavy. Many ratepayers hail signed tlie petition under the belief that payments would extend over twenty years. As to the first point raised, the city engineer is to investigate and teport. Thc seiond and thiid were answered in Ihe affirmatm. As to thc fourth point, it wai explained that five years is the life of a wooden sidewalk, and payments could not be extended beyond tint time, tint for the permanent road- work an extension could be made.
