Where, then, is Flanders? In olden times Flanders was the name of an important country in Eutope.j It extended along the . North â€" Sea from the river Scheldt (Antwerp) to the Straits of Dover and.Calais, It comprised what is now . Belgium, .& southern part of Holland, and _ a morthern part of France. The Countg of Flanders governed the. country, under a nominal suzeranity to France. At an early period the manufacture of cloth became a leading industry at Ghent, and ‘other Flemish cities. France, in the twelfth century,â€" beâ€" came all powerful, and made <Flanâ€" ‘ders a French dependency,. _ The burghers rose in insurréction and, unâ€" der â€" tho leadership of Peter . de Congne, a master cloth weaver> .of Bruges, routed the French army at Coutrai in:1302. France, Austria and Spainâ€"in turn ruled the country. When the Kingdom of Belgium .. was forméd in 1831 the old name of Flanâ€" ders was retained in two â€"Provinces, which became known as East _ and West Flanders. East Flanders â€" has for its chief towns Ghent, Nicolas, Eecloo and Oudenarde. West Flandâ€" ers includes Bruges, Ostend, : Ypres and Coutrai, The Provinces produce flax, hops and tobacco, market gardâ€" ua t is a Long FLANDERS. Distance Station. ening floutishes, butter . and â€" other dairy. produce are exported, fishing is carried on, and manulacturing: operaâ€" tionzâ€"inâ€"â€"cloth, â€"paper, â€"leather; â€" etc.; are extensive. The population of the two Provinces is something over two millions. # The ‘"payâ€"asâ€"yougo"" system â€" bag provements. â€"Instead of spreading the payment ‘of permanent improvements over‘a term of ten, twenty, thirty of forty years, â€" according to the time. watrant, the advocates of the “fiyâ€" asyouâ€"go"" system would save thousâ€" ands of dollars annually, . by paying for the work when it is done. ~ . The advocates of the new system scem to: â€" lose ‘sight â€"â€" of _ ~the cardinal principle that the ratepayer must in all cases lose the interest on the money invested in public. improve: ments.. To ‘"payâ€"asâ€"youâ€"go‘"* he would have to withdraw funds from~infést ments that are probably now Inâ€" ing a higher rate of interest fl\ the city has to pay. ‘In this case he would be a loser instead of a gainer by the proposed system, owing to tbe} fact that the corporation can as a! rule borrow money at a lower utef than the private individual.~However, there is nothing to prevent the advoâ€" cates of the ‘"payâ€"asâ€"youâ€"go""‘ system trom putting their theories into pracâ€" tice if they so desire. ‘The city treasurer, in accordance with authorâ€" ity . vested in â€"him by the Act, will doubtless be pleased toâ€"receive their money and give them a receipt . in full, and the interest would stop. For the ratepayer who has money eatning â€"less than five per cent. this might b a good thing to do. ‘That is for him to decide. Tothe man who has purâ€" chased a home, and is working hard to pay off the mortgage, the _ new ‘:{:pm might provea positive hu@- ‘ k a double burden upon the ratepayers of the present ~generation..
