It ls to bo hoped tha*. there will be no confounding of issues on tho ballot -which is shortly to be taken on the now electric light by-law. There are many people who believe tbat even more necessary to tho town thun lights is u sewerage system. And we ure nut sure that theso citizens are not right. From many points of view it could have been wished that thc movement for a sewer had taken precedence over that for a lighting system. Tho Council itself was elected on both issues, with every member of tho Bogrd pledged to work for and as fur as ho could, further both projects. But, as it has happened, the question of lights has come first, or, to bo precise, has matured for action before the other. The Council ure even now busy with thc subject of a sewerage system, and shouldered tho responsibility uf engaging an engineering expert ut a cost of 9400 to prepare levels for the main pipelines, together with an estimate of the cost. — Meantime a movement hud been ou foot for the furtherance of the lighting scheme. As a result a petition was presented to the Council, praying for the introduction of a by-law Tho Council could only do as tbey were requested to do, having regard to the public pledges on which thoy took office. The by-law, which is now betore tho voters, was prepared in accordance with the will and -wishes of the petitioners who represented a large und Influential section of the ratepayers. Alderman McKinnell, on Tuesday evening, (and he was spooking for more than himself) wished that the presentation of the by-law to tho property-owners for tbeir ballot could havo been delayed. He took lho ground first that the city stood in greater need of a sewerage system than of electric lights, ulthough ho admitted the necessity of tho latter and had. always beon in favor of having them. Again he argued that if both bylaws had been introduced togethor, and referred to the voters at tho same time, the ono would havo carried tho other through.

If the citizens who signed the petition presented to the Council vote as they at that time felt, the by-law will carry easy enough. If they don't, then they themselves are to blamo for the exponse incurred on carrying out their plainly expressed wishes. But there is anothor point, the point wo started out to mako, which should be carefully considered. It is this. Whilo a citizen may hold the conviction that the sewer by-law should have como first that Is no reason in Itself why: he should vote down the lighting proposition. The sewerage system is no further off because tho city decides It shall have lights. Tbe adoption ur a lighting system dues nut mean thnt thero shall not be a sewer. The ono dues not affect the other, Rather we think It will be exactly the revcrso. Block the lighting system and the sowor proposition will almost inevitably be rejected. Adopt the new bylaw, and the sewer will follow It in a few weeks. The two issues should not be confused. Deal with oach on its own merits, nnd tho adoption of both Is assured.

April 22. — One hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars will Lo spent this summer in improving and modernizing the seventy eight miles or roadbed ' of tho E. & N. railway between hero and Ntinuimu, and tliis work will start at once and ■ bo rushed to completion as fast as 'possible. This is the Important uu- | nou'ucemqnt that was made yester- ^luy mbt'ilfng by one of tlie promin- , ont officials of tho E. &j N. railway. it was announced yesterday that in tlie estimates that had been approved by the president of the company, Sir Thomas Shaughncssy, in tho large appropriations that had boen brought down fur tho present year und passed by the board of directors of tho C.P.R. was tho item containing tho appropriation of S125.000 for this part of the system. Tho greater part of this outlay will bo oxpoudod upon tho improvement of tho roadbed und particularly upon lhat part of tho line whero wooden structures are used in crossing streams, the intention being to replace these with permanent stool structures. Tho larger part of this improvement will take placo at tho other ond of tho line and most of it between Ludysmith aud Nanaimo although much work will be done in building now bridges across tho Chemainus uud Cowichan rivers. Ou this part of tho work, new Btouo piei's will be built aud stool bridges will supplant the present wooilen structures. Then ubout a utile un this side of Ladysinith tho present obsolete crib work will i>o torn down und replaced by a largo urch to cross the stream that flows into Oyster Hay at this point. The replacing of tho old wooden bridges by thu modern ones will only bo made this year whero the bridges aro found to bo most In wunt of repair and thoso that fmio lately boen constructed .will be tho lust ones on tho lino to be removed. Another important move that tho company has decided to moke will ho iu the building of new fences along tho line and in this matter it is stated that not less than forty miles of new fencing will bo constructed during tho season. For this improvement alono somo §20,000 has been submitted and approved by tho directorate, This fencing will bo used this season whoro tho country is most settled and whoro any stock kept by tho settlors in the vicinity. It is understood however, that the company will eventually fence in tho entire length of tho road, although it will be impossible to do all of this work during thu present summer. 4 SENATE WRlOSTLklS PROHIBITION.

A good stove makes a 'bright home and every stove sold By tho local foundry carries with it a guarantee. The foundry people are 'inviting inspection. They want buyers to deal with them direct, and at present are making handsome reductions on every grado of stove. The foundry is well worth a visit in itself and any one desiring a stove I cannot do better than look ovcr the foundry stock. Not only will he or sho be supporting a local industry, but he will get a high-class stove at [a cheaper rate than anywhere else.
