‘ . RFor .nearly seven Wundred years, wince the signing of the Magua Charâ€" ’Tawmun-hydm ;'» ummmc&uwr. ‘which has ever since been recognized * BERLIN‘S PROBLEM M C L2 LKE Whaal P s the basis of English liberty, The ion of life, liberty and properâ€" from arbitrary spoliation is the ost important feature of the Charâ€" ter. The judiciary as well as every court in the realm rigidly adhere to the principles incorporated in this Charter and no corporation or person may . vielate its principles without running the risk of the penalties which such violation is almost cerâ€" f to incur. A fair illustration of violation of the principles of the * Charta and the _ conâ€" sequence has been given by Berlin in discharging its sewage into Schâ€" meider‘s ~ creek, â€" which ~action the wourts have decided was damaging to aperty _ through which the creek .;‘u'ed. The Berlin sewer farm which ‘for a number of years worked fairly "gatisfactorily has for the last trree or four years been neglected, _ with the result that sewage has Seen and is runping unfiltered and caw into the â€" creek. Under such condizions there is little wonder that the courts @ecided that the sufferers be paid damages, and . upou appeal by the town in the case of Mr. Daniel Weâ€" ber, the decision was again adverse, granting the plaintiff $500 more damaâ€" ges, with costs on Berlin. . In Jhis case the courts certainly vindicate the principles of the Charter and proâ€" tect the rights of the individual who is the weaker against the stronger corporation. _ If the money which has been spent in litigation, arbitration, and damages had been expended in treating Berlin sewage by filtration and otherwise, there would have been little or uo cause for iitiâ€" gation, and instead of being involved in _ expensive and _ seemingly endâ€" less ~ law â€" suits, as the â€" town is at present, owing . to | this question, every one concerned Jwiskt bavs hean eatished The uoen Weduesday each wook. ElEht ixa\tq been â€" satisfied & The proposition to construct a subâ€" way under the Grand Trunk Railway on King street, Berlin, scems to a great extent: to be lost sight of at present. A few weeks ago this subâ€" ject was a generalr&ic of discussion by many prominent citizens of the town, but although there may be a lull in the agitation regarding this important problem, the necessity for some action being taken to trelieve the present congested state of traffic mt this point has not diminished. Every day while transacting the orâ€" dinary business of the Twinâ€"City, dozens of teaims and other rigs, as well as pedestrians and the strect cars are being held up by trains shunting over this crossing. The time lost as well as the inconvenience sufâ€" fered on account of this state of afâ€" fairs is fast becoming intolerable, and something must be done to relieve it. If the Grand Trunk were to cease shunting until there would be an opening in the stream of trafic on King street, to allow their cars to pass through without stopping anyâ€" one, very few cars could be shunted between daylight and dark on any day, and éven in the night the travel is often considerable.

The House of Comâ€" mons is fully appreciative of the valâ€" ue of these: political services . which Mr. Blake now places unreservedly at its disposal. It is announced thal Mr. Blake is to be a member of the Special Committee of Privileges, over which Mr. Balfour himself is to preâ€" side, and the function of which is to deal with special points which mauy suddenly arise as a result of debates in the House of Commons, or of proâ€" ceedings outside affecting members of parliament. | Everybody who | ksaows anything about parliamen!ary procedâ€" ure knows what importance nust atâ€" tach to the work of such a comuitâ€" tee, and of all the tributes which have been paid to Mr. lilake‘s parligâ€" mentary powers since he came to this country none is perhaps more noteâ€" worthy than his latest appointmint.

In answer to questions | by Chairman Bertram, of the Commisâ€" sion, Mr. Doucet testified: "I have a perfect knowledge of the country over which the Grand Trunk Pacific railâ€" way will run from Quebec to Winniâ€" pegif It is a rich country, well adapâ€" ted for agriculture, and abounds in valuable timber â€" limits and â€" mineral resources, together with very valuaâ€" ble water powers.
