FAV0RS BOND ISSUE
Resident Wants To See Madison Street
Paved Will Vote For Bond Issue.

(Communicated)
To the Editor Of the Evening Capital.
Dear Sir-Dr Gordon H. Claude's
letter in Tuesdays Capital arguing
against the proposed bond issue, ad-
mits the need of the improvements
proposed. The condition of West
street beyond the paved portions is a
disgrace to the city. During rainy
weather the street is full of mud. and
during dry weather full of dust. 1t
should he paved. and the sidewalk in
front of Whites Row should be widen
ed.
The Rescue House should be paid
for. Of course. | should like to see
Madison street, my own street, i'm
proved, but everybody comedies the
need of the proposed improvements.
The question is when shall they be
made? / say now. not year after
next, or ten years hence. Therefore,
while have great respect for DR..
Claude. and must defer to-his knowl-
edge of city affairs, / shall vote for
the bond issue.
Respectfully.
ANGELO HALL.

Notwithstanding the refusal OF the Chi

tions from the provincial assemblies for
the advancement of the date for the OPEN
ing OF a national parliament a third
petition has already begun to be can

1t has even been proposed that payment
of government taxes should be withheld
unless a parliament is Immediately
granted. Meanwhile the government has
taken up a strong attitude and the native
press In Picking has been strictly forbid.

Nothing has occurred since the refusal
of the first petition TO justify any &C

The constitutional party Is bold ana
noisy But IL represents only the most
fractional part OF the nation compared
with the countless millions to whom the
principles of constitutional government
