teary of it. Such franehises are
most important, and there is a grow-
ing feeling throughout Ontario that
they should. always be controlled by
municipalities, and never given to
private individuals or companies. It
is well known that sueh enterprises
are money making, and if there is a
profit to be derived, certainly the
people should have it,oand not any
private party or parties.* Private
lighting companies get as much as
they can, and give as little in return,
Their object is always more to make
big dividends than to give good.
