INAUGURATING THE WARD SYSTEM.
Following in the footsteps of every reactionary and ward-
bossed city on the continent, instead of in the footsteps of those
progressive cities which have discarded the ward system, the
Council of Prince Rupert has announced its intention, before
going to the voters, of dividing the city up into three wards.
The ward boundaries proposed are as follows:

West Ward—All westward of a line drawn from
the water up Sixth street to Fraser street; thence
easterly to Fifth street and along the line of that
street produced and Fulton street to Fifth avenue;
thence along that street westward to Taylor street;
along that street, crossing block 27, section 5, in a
straight line to rear of blocks 30 and 31; thence along
that line, crossing to Comox avenue in line with the
eastern boundary of the Government reserve and tak-
ing in all the remainder of the platted portion of the
city west of that line.

East Ward—All east of a line drawn from the
waterfront along McBride to the lane in the rear of
Ninth avenue, including all the platted portion of the
city southerly; thence westerly to opposite the alley
between blocks 41 and 42, and thence southerly to
the bounds of the city.

Center Ward embraces all the territory between
these two bounds.

The full intent of the division of the city cannot be under-
stood until the boundaries are traced off on the map. Then it
will be seen that while East Ward embraces all the territory
east of McBride street, the rest of the city has been gerry-
mandered until Center Ward in its effort to comprise the
Comox avenue district has been carved up to look more like
a duck’s foot than a city ward. The boundary line is taken up
and down lanes, and across lots in some places to secure the
desired effect. The News entirely accepts the Council’s word
that the fixing of the boundary lines is the result of a very
great deal of careful thought and study.

The possibilities of the gerrymander are quite well known
to any “‘practical’” politician. The Ross government in Ontario
was credited with keeping itself in power for thirty-three
years by a judicious altering of the boundary lines of the
various constituencies to hive the Grits. But whoever
was the gerrymandering genius of the Ross administration, he
might sit at the feet of the genius who planned Prince Rupert’s
proposed three wards and learn something in the art of jug-
gling with boundary lines.

At its best the contour of the new wards is a joke. At
its worst it is a menace. The circumstances under which it
has been brought about make it appear much more a menace
than a joke.

SO as

A PRESENT OF A CORNER LOT TO ALD. HILDITCH.

For eighteen months the ratepayers and business men of
Second avenue have been hindered in their business by the
impassible nature of the street. Even after spending thou-
sands of dollars on it for a graded roadbed, the surface of the
road was left looking like a rock-strewn shore. So noticeable
was it that many unkind people said Second avenue was being
deliberately sacrificed in order to help those streets on which
the and their friends are located. This was prob-
ably an unjust accusation. It was probably just a_ coinci-
dence that the steam roller started outside the Mayor's house,
and has stayed round about Sixth street ever since.

* * * ” * * * *

aldermen

A few weeks ago Alderman Hilditch moved his place of
residence from Hays Creek into the heart of the proposed new
Center Ward. He also bought an old building on Center street
to move to a lot on Third avenue, near The News office, the
city kindly loaning him necessary timbers for the job. It was
while the moving was in progress that the irate deputation of
Second avenue ratepayers swooped down on the City Hall.

The Chairman of the Board of Works heard their grieyv-
ances for awhile and assured them that he would see that the
road was cleared of boulders to permit of the road _ being
opened for traffic. Then he added words something like this:
“You need not be afraid that the work will not be done, gentle-
men. I had already instructed the City Engineer to clear away
the boulders to let me get my house along.”

* * *” a ” + * a

The News is very anxious to see that building put in place,
but in a spirit of self-sacrifice it is willing to forego that pleas-
ure. The News instead proposes that a public subscription be
taken up from all the lot owners from Center to Seal
Cove to present Alderman Hilditch with a fine corner lot at
Seal Cove on condition that he place his old building on it. In
this way at a comparatively small expense we would quickly
get the roads placed in order from Center street to Seal Cove,
and our good neighbor would be richer by a fine corner lot.

The News would be the only sufferer, but we would gladly
make that sacrifice to get those roads in order,
