Weastaide Park, just now "in vernal verdure clad",~ presents a bosutifal appearance. _ Theâ€" indefatigable superâ€" intendent, Mr. A. McTfatyre, has been very busy since the season opened putâ€" enthusiastic flower lovers to plant and keep in order. There are already two beds near the entrance which form » very pleasing picture when in bloom These we owe to the enthusiastic Pres ident of the Waterloo Horticultura Society, Mr. James Lockie, whose z35) and interest in everything that portai s to the beautiful in nature is unflagging,. Ifa balf a doz>n more enthusinstic lovers of plants and flowers like Mr. Lockie interest themselves in the ke: uâ€" tifying of the park, its beauty and loveliness during the sammer months will be very much enhanced. _ The Park will uever bs an ideal place for picknickers until a boat bouse is erected and a supply of boats kept constantly on bhand for renting. The matter of the erection of a boat hous and furnishing boats for hire should be the work of private individuals. While i. might not prove to be very profitable mb first, still it would be almost sure from the start to ecarn enough to pay running expenses and a moderate diviâ€" dend on the investment. At Mohawk Park, Brantford, the boat houss and boats are the profeâ€"ty of a private inâ€" dividual who, if we mistake not, was willing to pay a neat little sum for the privilege of erecting it. _ We have only space for another sus pestion, A part of the ground might be laid out into suitable flower bed: mnd the beds given to some of our ting everything in good shape and the neatness pervading everywhere on the grounds testify to the thoroughness o! his work, A number of young tree: have been planted to replace those that died last season. â€"The refreshing rains of last whek have hastened vegetation and nature in the Park at presont can be seen in her moso gay and lively aspect. § _ There are still a number of features that should be added, and just here we might remark that we must not expect too much from the Park Board. The amount of money at their disposal is limited and the rate> levied for park purposes can not exceed half a mill on the dollar. However, anxious the board may be to inaugurate and carry out improvements, their field of opera tions in this respect is circumscribed by the limited suin that can be raised under the Public Parks Act. The time, however, has now arrived for a general forward movement and we desire to call attention to a few matters which are practicable under present limitations as to means. We aim to give this character . to all ou elothing and it is worth paying for,. It i worth paying more forâ€"â€" but we do not chnrfie for this.

Before adjourning the much vexed question of road improvements was again brought before the Council. Councillor Wells thought it was about time road tinkering was stopped. He would like to see the Council make one one good stretch of road this year at least, and thought George street needed it worst. The Mayor, howâ€" ever, would not listen to such a propoâ€" sition and Councillor Bruce jocularly asked for the good stretch of road on Allan street. Mr. J.

Mayor Hughes, after getting the inâ€" dividual opinions of the Councillors expressed himself as being in favor of granting the foundry the privilege of making the proposed extensions. He thought the town should encourage its manufacturers as far as possible ard not be chary about conceding favors to them when it did not confl.ct with inâ€" dividual interests. The question of the proper draining of Georgs street was also discussed but nothing definite was decided. The Town Engineer presented estimates pubting the total cost for such drains at between forty and fifty dollars.

A f.ir s‘z>d audience was present on Wednesday evening of last week to hsar Mr. Campbell‘s address on good roads. _ In the abserce of Mayor Hughes, Mr. Simon Soyder, President of the Board of Trade, was called to the chair and introduced tha speaker of the evening. = Mr. Campbell, after a fow preliminâ€" ary remarks, said that strong prejndices existed in some towns asd rural muniâ€" cipalities on this important subject, The object of the good roads movement was to awaken an interest among the people at large and to have work done of a permanent character, _ Municipalâ€" ities at present are nob getting proper reéturns for the money and efforb spent in road work. Instruction is required. In raral municipalitiese in Ontario about 1,000,000 days of road work and about $3,500,000 were spent annually on our public highways. In ten years tbis amounted to 10,000,000 days ano $35,000,000, a sum which if properly applied, would be sufficient to pub our roads in excellent cordition. _ The object of the good roads movement was to create aun interest in the subject and bave road work performed according to a plan based upon the true principles of modern road making. STATUTE LABOR SYSTEM A FARCE, Mr. Campbell characterized the system of statute labor as at present opprated as a farce and a humbug, ar being wastefn), shiftless and inefficient. Tbhe system of towns and cities was still worse if possible, There was no plan except to bury the money in mud every year and streets were not being improved, 59,857 â€"E B.

Its compact business places, its neat and substantial residences with their neatly trimmed lawas indiâ€" cated thrift and prosperity. Ho was pleased to see that plank sidewalks were being replaced by those of a more permanent character. _ The life of a plank sidewalk at the outside was only about ten years, bub the granolithic walks now being put down should last 100 years in Waterloo. â€"The streets of Waterloo, however, are in a deplorable state. _ He did not sdvise spending more more money but if the amount spent every year was properly applied in twenty years every street could be made in a durable way. The greab faulbt in the past baw osen wauno of system,. They had gose on from year toyear scattering their efforte and filling up holes here and there x th gravel, He said he had visited the gravel pits in the afternoon aid found them to consist of about fifty per cent, of sand and turf and the balance of stone and gravel. _ The stone and gravel were of excellent quality for road building, but the sand and turf, which attract the rain and let: the water down to the road bed, would have to be separated from it._ Mr. Campbell next discussed at length the building of good roads. He gave minute directions as to preâ€" paring a proper road bed and how to overcome the dificulties that arise from the nature of the soil in properly drainâ€" ing it. The road bed prepared, he would put on a layer of coarse stone or gravel of 2$ in, in thickress, on the top of this he would put another layer of smaller stone of 1} in. and on this a third layer of stone of } in. in thickvess and screenings. The whole shou‘d then be sprinkled and consolidated by tunâ€" ning a heavy roller over it. The road, if properly crowned, should be imperâ€" vious to water and should last for twentyâ€"five years. He advised doing one streeb each year and doing it well Beforeo any work of a permanent character be attempted an engineer should be instructed to prepare a plan of the streets of the town and take the levels and grades so that the work done may possees unity and harmony when completed. He next addressed himself to roadâ€" making in rural municipalities, He favored commutation ofstatutelaborand doing the work under coatract, Counâ€" cils should make a plan of the roads of townsbip and classify roads according to the nature and extent of the traffic upon them and specify the width of the road and the slops from the crown to the side. A road machine shculd be purchased and operated by skilled men, Directions should also be given as to the construction of culverts.. By comâ€" muting the statute labor and doing the work by contract, according to a proper system, under competent supervision a very greabt improvement might be made in the roads of our rura!l muniâ€" cipalities in a fow years. Ho favored wide tires and aptly characterized narrow tires as road destroyers. ‘The above is only a briet outline of a very excellent address of a thoroughly practical nature which occupied an bour and a half in delivery. After a few remarks by councillors Bschtel and Wells and by Messrs. Lovi Stauffer, George Moore and W. Wells the meetâ€" ing was brought to a close. 59,746.â€"Geo.
