THE CITY LOAN PROPOSALS.
Wb are very glad that the City Council’s proposals with reference to a new loan and its appropriations are exciting intelligent discussion.
In our columns to-day we publish two letters on the subject, both writers being specially qualified to deal with the points they respectively treat. Each suggests certain new and interesting questions for consideration. That raised by “Quresitor ” i» purely a point of technical in-
terpretation of an Act of Parliament. We presume it will receive due attention at the hands of the City Council's legal adviser. The position taken up by “ Festin.a Lento ” will no duubfc surprise many people, seeing that lie is indisputably an authority on the sanitary aspect of the case. It is, however, substantially the same as that which we have put forward more than once—that, desirable as is an open-sea outfall for our city sewage, this is not so urgently pressing a need as the completion of the house and street drainage of the city, and may safely wait a little longer, if its immediate undertaking would impose a heavy burden, on the citizens. We commend both the letters to the careful attention of the City Council.
