PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND {/5 
     
    

    
     It must be said that during the past few years a great deal of improvement is 
     
     noticeable in the methods of loaking after City aEairs‘ A splendid system of water 
     
     works has been introduced, the source of supply being the Three Mile Brook, on tl e 
     
     Malpeque Road, 
     
     where the pumping 
     
     station is placed. A 
     
     water supply for fire 
     
     purposes is kept 
     
     stored in a reservoir 
     
     built in the rear of 
     
     the stone quarry on 
     
     Mt. Edward Road, 
     
     and, since the sys- 
     
     tem has been in 
     
     operation, Charlotte- 
     
     town has suffered 
     
     very little from fires, 
     
     which, before the in- 
     
     troduction of water- 
     
     works, used to be 
     
     attended with such 
     
     disastrous results. 
     
     The City Councillors, 
     
     too, manifest a be- 
     
     coming pride in the 
     
     City, and generally 
     
     work harmoniously 
     
     together for its ad- 
     
     vancement. ,A work 
     
     that is especially 
     
     creditable to the 
     
     municipal goverment 
     
     is the new Park 
     
     Roadway, which was 
     
     ccnpleted this sum- 
     
     mer, and which will 
     
     afford a most pleas- 
     
     ant way for citizens 
     
     to get from the town 
     
     to Victoria Park. 
     
     The roadway runs 
     
     along the shore, from 
     
     Kent Street, past 
     
     Goverment House 
     
     and grounds, and around Fort Edward, alfording a most enjoyable route for car- 
     
     riages, wheelmen, and foot passengers. A strong breakwater has been built, that 
     
     will hereafter prevent the annual washing away of the bank along which in former 
     
     years ran the footpath to the Park. A railing has been erected all the way along 
     
     the edge of the breastwork, and with the nicely graded tracks for carriages, bicycles,
