have adopted Wcbster's survey as the
official plan of the city while others. on
account OF its many shortcomings.
have rejected 1t and directed the City
Surveyors to follow the lines of the
streets as built upon. Mr.. Webster's
survey is very faulty in many respects
and am satisfied it could not be sus-
tanned III court by evidence.
Under the circumstances it would be
the part OF wisdom for the City Coun-
Gil to recognize the condition OF af-
fairs as 1t exists. to employ Il compe-
tent person TO make Il map OF the city
as 1t is actually built up, TO note the
center lines of the streets. and il the
sidewalks are too narrow ut points, to
trust to subsequent arrangements to
have them widencd.
Very respectfully.

enc Of the famous authors of the day, Rev.
John Watson. better known as Ian Mac
laren.' the nom de plume under which
he has written all his works of fiction.
though In his theological works he EN-.
ploys his own name. Even his pen-nane.
however. IL no, much OF a fiction, Ian
being the Scotch for John, and Maclaren
being his mothers maiden name.
The world is far more familiar with
Ian Maclaren's" writings than with those
of John Watson. StilI the latter have cut
a considerable figure. and DIR. Watson has
twice been tried on the charge OF heresy
on account of his liberal views.
His audience tonight will have the adj
vantage not only of hearing noted man.
but OF hearing him interpret some OF DIS
own work. and give keys to some OF the
simple facts and subtle mysteries Of Scotch
life-that life which he has done much 70
dignity and beautify.
In unfolding to his audiences the motive
of hts books h.. shows II to be q sincere
effort to show the plain and honely traits
of life and with them the glory OF things
that are not seen.
