THE STREETS IMPROVEMENTS MATTER.


We heartily congratulate the Town C ouiigU upon the change of tactics it appears to be ready for pursuing in the matter of the making of private streets. How far it.will go upon it.s new course remains to be proven in the inner courts of Highway Committee, but to find that there is at least a tendency to. get into a more enlightened track is something of it­ self. The project of sett-iiaviiig is one at which


we have so persistently hammered and cri ticised that we cannot help feeling pleased that our endeavours should have perhaps assisted some of our councillors to change their minds,


.iiid, in the hope that something more may be done in this direction, we should like to take into consideration the various arguments chat were directed in favour of and against the scheme at the meeting of the Council last Thursday. Our first duly is to congratulate Councillor


Cowglll. It is always a difficult matter to m.ake a decided change in one’s opinions ; but it is iminite'-; more difficult to stand out in public and appear as the champion of the change- But this was wh.it Councillor Cow- gill did. Amidst a constant fire of interrup­ tion, he expoced lucidly and pitilessly the scheme which has been so h^ly riddled with


shot during the past month of six weeks, and by “ d.aring to h-ave a purpose fimvand daring to make it known,” he appears to us to have
