Mr. Itter,the keeper, has been charged . with keeping persons who were quite capable of earning their own t livelihood in the House against their will and has setat defiance both the Commit- tee ofthe Country Council and the‘Vard- en of the County. The committee met We understand that there has here- tofore been a practice in vogue on the part of the committee of the County Council that should be discontinued. The reprehensible practice referred to has been for the Committee on their monthly visits to the House to allow themselves to be "dined" by the keep- er at the expense of the County. There was, perhaps, nothing particularly wrong about this, but the general effect of these fine dinners upon the re- cipients would be to close their eyes to some things that might otherwise have come up for adverse criticism. These gentlemen whose time and mileage is paid for by the County might perhaps just as well patronize some good hotel in Berlin, of which there are quite a number, and visit the House in the afternoon. on Wednesday of last week and passed a resolution to the effect that a young woman, an inmate of the institution for 18 or 20 mouths should be allowed to leave as soon as a suitable place could be found for her to go to service. A isuitahle place was soon found and the other day a party went to the House with the Wavden's order to get her but she was not allowed to go. Is the servant ofthe Council above his mas- ters l We are informed by the Warden that the system of running the Indus- trial farm is such as no man would tolerate fora moment in conducting his own private business, there being absolutely no cheek on the keeper in disposing of the products of the farm. The whole matter should come up for investigation at the coming session of the County Council. If the system of management is at fault, adopt a better one 3 if Mr. Itter and the present We have received a communication respecting the management of the House of Industry and Refuge of this county. It seems that a number of charitably disposed ladies of Waterloo and Berlin have been interesting them selves in the aged and infirm inmates of this institution, and have arrived at the conclusion that they should receive more care and attention than has been given to them in thepnst. They asked that a matron be appointed whose special duty it should be to minister to the physical and spiritual wants of those who might be ill at any time. The ladies even offered to pay the cost of maintenance of the matron fm. one year as the matter was considered an experiment, but their request has not been acceded to. The Grand Jury last year, after: a visit to the House, recommended that a fire escape be provided and a uight-watchman en- gaged, but we understand that no action has been taken upon their reetrmmendation. oronto Star : For years the people 'e taken a sentimental and not a. acticnl view of protection, but, Hour icy are awakening to a sense of their aterial advantage, and in that view protection does not apply.

The I primary or more important object of all such institutions is of course to ‘ mitigate bodily suffering whether it arises from natural or accidental caus- es.

The annual meeting of the stockhol- ders of the Bonanza Nickel Mining Co. was held in the Town Hall, Berlin, on Monday afternoon. The old board of directors were relected viz ". Messrs. J. Cr.

The latest arrival in the arena of journal- ism is The Canadian Engine”, published in Toronto and Montreal, and devoted to the mechanical mining, marine, locomotive san- itary and other branches of the engineering trades.

A hospital for the sister towns need not necessarily be a large, pre- tentious and costly structure. A site within easy access and still removed from the busiest thoroughfares could doubtedlessly be obtained for a reason- able sum. A building neither very large lioixpensixfe but put up Liy, gel) The necessity and utility of hospitals for large and growing towns cannot therefore be questioned and there are perhaps no institutions that are so purely hu mane or so uuexceptionable on the score of charity. In many of the larger towns and cities they are objects of constant solicitude to the entire community and it has been customary for the wealthy to bequeath large sums of money for their support. Only a few weeks ago the late Mr. Elliot of Guelph left the sum of 'J10,000 to be used in discharging the mortgage upon the hospital there and in erecting an- other wing to the building. Our readers will readily recall numerous other be- quests of a similar kind. Next Friday evening a meeting will be held at the High School for the dis- cussion of the Hospital question. This meeting, has been called by the Mayors of the {mo towns upon the requisition of bug“ numbers of the citizens. We trust that there will be a large turn- out and than: the matter will be fully discussed. matron are not the proper parties to have charge of the institution, dis- charge them and engage others; if more help is required to minister to the comforts and necessities of the poor, the aged and inhcm oonfined there, by all means supply it. We cannot afford to let an Institution of this kind rest under a cloud. Let there be an inves: tigation. THE HOSPITAL QUESTION Bonanza Nickel Co. l Some ten years ago the Ontario Legislature passed what is known as "The Public Parks Act," under which a park or a system of parks, avenues, boulevards and drives may be estab lished in any city or town and a rate not exceeding half a mill on the dollar levied for the expense of maintaining, improving and managing the same. Previous to this whatever was done had to be done by private citizens, but 'the difficulty of securing a sufficient inumlmr to (temperate in a scheme of 'this kind was so great that very little had been accomplished. A few weal- (thy citizens here and there had thrown lopen their private grounds to the pub- lie, but these cases were few and far .between. h The bulk of the work, however, dur- ing the summer of 1891 was put on the recreation grounds These are situated on the lower and level portion of the grounds and cover an area of 500 feet in length by 400 feet in breadth. The levelling outlined in the plan required the cutting of no less than 10,700 cubic yards from the hill on the east side. To accomplish this work ten men and two teams were employed most of the time from the 7th of July to the 24th of October, and 8,600 loads of earth were cut from the rising ground and filled into the hollow. The grounds were underdrained and in the spring of '92 they were cultivated and seeded down. This spring the lawn-mower passes over these grounds repeatedly and by next year the grass will be sufficiently thick and the sod hardened so as to put these grounds into a first class condition for athletic sports. A series of terraces were constructed from mother earth on the east side of the grounds which were likewise sodded will prove a great convenience to thousands of spectators the better to witness the games. This is, indeed, a model spot for: athletic games, and it and will form one of thefinest,ifnotthe finest, grounds for all kinds of manly sports to be found in the Dominion. A hedge which is doing very nicely has also been started on the south and east sides of the park grounds, running from the lake to the north-east corner" ad- joining Mr. Unger’s farm and a number of driveways have been partially' Corl1- pleted. In the spring of '02 'a large number of trees were planted throughout the park and beautiful evergreens arranged in groups of geometrical forms such as ovals, triangles and diamonds, were The services ofa competent engineer of Toronto were then obtained, a sur- vey made and plans prepared for oper- ations. The plan included various re- creation and picnic g)ounds, drives, groves, ctc. In the spring of 1891 operations were begun and a transfor- mation was effected that was indeed wonderful. Fences, old buildings, stumps and rubbish of all kinds were removed and neatness and order took the place of untidiness and disorder. The old so-called picnic grounds on the west side were first of all cleared up, the knolls out down, the hollows filled and the whole seeded down. On the East margin of the woods, on the elevated part of the grounds, a lawn tennis court, 100 by 100 feet was formed, which is now in a beautiful condition and will afford a delightful spot for. the lovers of this popular game to engage in play A board of management was then appointed and the Eby farm bought at the close of 1890 at EL fair price. The farm consists of sixty acres, partly wooded, and only about five minutes walk from the post office. A few years ago an agitation was begun in Waterloo to fili up, sod and plant with trees a few vacant places in town, but it was soon seen that these small plots of ground would prove inadequate to meet the wants of a growing town like Waterloo. In the year 1890, when the farm of the late Jacob Eby was about to be thrown upon the market, a number ofnur most progressive and public-spirited citizens though that the opportune time had arrived to take advantage of the pro- visions of the Public Parks Act and secure this farm for the town lo serve the purpose of a park and recreation ground for years tocotne. The scheme met with favor from all sides and steps were at once when to secure the neces- sary".municipal legislation to give effect to the Act _ There have lunsn few, if anv, public works inaugurated in the Town of Waterloo that afrord its citizens more pleasure than the thought of the groan possibilities of ourvan Park and recreation grounds. Every one who views these beautiful grounds must feel that it was a happy thought in the minds of those of our enterprising citi- zens who first conceived the idea of placing at the, disposal of this and future generations those lovely grounds so peculiarly fitted for. a park Here we have combined with few exceptions, all nature's elements to make the scene complete-low and level grounds and gently sloping elevated lands.

Nature has done her greater part so well that man can eminently afford to do his minor part. Review of the Work Done io Date. WATERLOD TOWN PARK.

To complete the drives, to fix up the Water tronts, to construct boat houses and supply boats will, no doubt, be done in due time, and it will be a matter of only a few years at most when Waterloo will have recreation grounds and a park of which she can justly feel proud. We know of no town in the Dominion of its size that has undertaken a work of this kind on such a magnificent scale, and those who initiated this good work and are carry- ing it on to a successful issue will be entitled to and will receive the grati- tude of many future generations.

The Park Board has exercised the utmost care to do the work in such a manner that it will be at once perma- nent, creditable and at reasonable cost.
