In point uf\nfact, Hum appears In have lieen wide\ndivergence of opiniuu aiming llm alder\nmen uf that eity as to whether the\nclauses of the hill as submitted to tlie\nI'ommittee of tlm House, weru satis\ni,ii imt. ami fur Ihis reason a further\npostponement may prove beneficial tu\nthat eity itself.\nNuw that the aelinn uf the Private\nHills Committal has prepared tho wsy\nfur public discussion of the whole question with a view tu a provincial act tu\nrender this form of government avail\nuhic, upon a uniform liasis, tu ull\nmunicipalities, it is in urder to observe\n'that while thu Commission form of\nnir I'.,. i n.iiii nl has hosts of ardent\nudvocates, and while it has proven a\nilisi.idiid success ill several rcspeets,\nopinion is not by any means unanimous\ntvith reference tu the advisability uf\nit* universal adoption, ''lose students\nut municipal government have crltlcis\nnl the Commission movement as an\neffort tu substitute legislatiun for educs\ninn,, ll is contended that what is re\ntpnred is not municipal re organization,\nbul rather the upbuilding of a mure\nconscientious and responsible elliwii\nship- u eitiri'iiship that will clearly\nrecognize lhat civic responsibility can\nimi be relegated lo any party or organl\n/iilinn, CoDiinluion ur other, liul that\nif civic government is to bu clean ami\ni'iiiiipt'lt'iit, each citizen must assume his\nfull share of responsibility and assist in\nmalting il sucn.\nAlong these lines, one of Ihe Influential duilies uf the eity uf Boston\nrecently made the fullnwing nhserva\nlinns, editorially!\n\"The movement tuward commission\n\"government fur. municipalities\n\"has been chirked, it has uul,\n\"however, been shipped.

If this position is correct,\nthen there is reason lo fear that the\nbenefits may prove to be of only a\ntemporary nature inasmuch as sooner\nor later the citizenship may Ispsu from\nthia increased interest in civic affairs,\ninto thu former state of comparative\nindifference from which they were for\nthe iiine urnui.i'd, in which cssu the\nbuiiuflls accruing frnm the change wuuld\ncease,\nThere has beon, perhaps, a growing\ndisposition upon the part of thu mass\nof the people who arc dissatisfied with\nthe obi form of civic government, to\ntake it for granted Hint thu eoiiimissio i\nimo, provides a eululiou uf lhe priiblum.\nThe criticism quoted abuve reminds us,\nhowever, that the whole question lb\nstill a live isstiti and that there is neod\nthut public thinking lie actively sus\ntuined iu seeking to arrive at rig I\nconclusions with referenco lo this im\nportent municipal problem.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nTHB \"LIQUOB UOBNOB AOT\"\nFor an eiamplo of practical and ef\nfeetivo legislation for llm regulation\nami control uf the traffic iu Intoileal\ning liquors, it wuuld be very diiln uli\nto discover anything better than the\nl.lquor I .im of British Columbia.\nThe actual results from the operation\nof that law, for the year 1011 as re\nported i ci cm 11 to the House by At\ntornuy General Dowser are of a truly\nremarkable nature, and it ia safe tu\nsay, could uot be duplicated from any\nsource. The outstanding feature of lhe\neffectiveness of this law is the fact\nthai (hero were actually fewer licenses\niu force in the province during the year\nlllll than were during i'.i In In order\nlo .hi.|. iM.',.',s! the full significance ol\nthis faet it is necessary lo bear in mind\nthe rapid increase in the population of\nIhu province for thu year which has\nbeen estimated from official sources at\nfrom fill,\"\"\" to 711,000. That is, while\ntbu population nf Hrilish Columbia In\ncreased by from twenty to twenty five\nper cent., the number of liquor licenses\nactually decreased.\nThere were ten Instances in which the\nissuance ut new licenses ur the renewal\nuf former licenses was refused. There\nwere 10.1 prosecutions and 86 cun\nfictions, under tlm act during the year\nand tlie fines collected amounted In\n[Ailfilt.\nAll of this goes lu show that not\nonly ia the Act a workable une, bul\nfurther it Is the unmistakeable loten\ntiuu uf the Attorney llsimrsl's depart\nment to sue that its provisions are duly\nenforced.\nTo the advanced temperance advocate\nuf course, no form of license law is\nacceptable and lhat position is entitled\nto respect, but al tbe sime time there\nit I'liml en,un.I tu conclude Ihut the\nlicense law as it stands, is fully abreast\nof public sentimenl in the province at\npresent, with reference to temperance\nlegislation. It cannot but be cou\nsldered gratifying under these rlrcum\nstances that lhe administration of the\nAttorney Ilcneral gives all parlies so\nclearly to understand thai the prov\nisltins of lhe act, must be strictly and\ncontinuously obeorved.\nThe aiiifiidiui'uls lo Iho Liquor\nLicence Act Introduced in the house\nlast week made clear lhe further fad\nthut legislation In tbis respect is uot\nat a standstill. The-proposed amend\nomuls are of a nature that will en\ngender wholesome reaped for the plain\nprovisions of tbe act upon the |iart of\nany who might be inclined to endeavor\nto evade the same.\nThe statements of Premier Mcllride\nin replying to tbe deputation which\nwaited on him on Tuesday, from lhe\nLocal Option League show that' lhe\ngovernoient recognises tbe presence of\nan advanced temperance sentiment of\ngrowing Strength throughout tbe pro\nvial! and that it ly tbe policy of the\nadministration to accord that senli\nment, every 'reasonable and juat re\ncognition. Tbe fact cited by tb*\npremier tbat no licence bo* been\ngranted along tbi line of construction\nof tbe Canadian Northern, tbe Orand\nTrunk Pacific or the Kettle Valley railways is of Itself a circumstance of so\nexceptional s nature ss to demonstrate\nbeyond sll cavil tbe accuracy of lhe\nPremier's assurance \"We are trying\nto do all wa can, for the came you\nbava at heart and at the same time\ntrying lo dial squarely with all plr\nties. .\n3?\nT^&STBHaiWiUllil\nBOBTB VAtfOWVW *%9fliim-\nTUBA!

It was impossible for the\ndistrict to spend tho amount ou tbe\nroatl at the present time, but if the city\nw.as willing to bear 60 per cent .of the\ncoat the work could be commeiiced ot\nonce. The cost of maintenance would\nbo borne by the district.

Westover thought that tho benefits would bu reciprocal between the\ncity and the district.\nDistrict Engineer Bosgrove, having\nfdrnished details of Iho proposed work,\nAid. Hepburn said that inasmuch as the\neity must preserve the Capilano water\nsource, bo was prospered to carefully\nconsider the matter. The widening of\nthe road would be advantageous both,\nto tho city and the district. The view\nof Aid.
