The private lights are run all night, but the moonlight 'schedule operates on the streets. The Council expects the plant ta be self-sustaining by this fall. This is considerably ahead of the proposi- tion of a private company a few months ago, who wanted 5500 per year for ten street lights. It is ex- pected that a revenue of between $1,200 and $1,300 per year will be realized, which will over all ex. penses, allowing $100 for deprecia- tion, The rates are ea.treniely la►rt, ranging froth one and three-gtinrter cents to nine centsa week for six- teen e. p. lights. Acton established its nubile plant in January last at a cost of ;tf,500. The street lamps are. 32 e. p. incan- descent and number 56. Some 020 private lights arc in use, which will give a revenue of over $1,30() a year. This, it is believed, will pay expenses and interest on the eeht, The moonlight schedule ie in oper. ation, and all lights go out at mid- night. In winter a morning service from. 0,30 to daylight will be pagan. The residence rates are 53.75 per light per year for each of the first four sixteen c. p. lamps and el each for all above that. These rates are eat in two for eight e. p: lamps. Business placed are charged two. cents pee night, and factories and churches e1 for light per year: Acton's population is 1,400. It will thus he seen that towns which de their own lightine' .. get more lights, better service tinct for far less money than could be' got from private companies. When Wingham bought the water power I, and many others, were under the impression that the town. would do its own lighting. No town in On- tario is in a better position to do so. Bat up to the present time the people of Whitetail', do not seem to take sufficient'y united interest in the matter. The do not seem to. be aware of the valuable privilege they possess. The purchase of the water power was a grand investment, and the roan who first broached the idea of the purchase deserves a mon- ument to his metnoly. But if the 9 Power is• only to be used for Fire Mr. James Marshall, a County Le7 � � � l Protection it was a mistake to pare Councillor of Wentworth, wheeled .. i� so much for it Now that we hat's from. his Moate in Barton Township Ittunicipal Ligeatiaag an Wingham..

It can be seen from the figures here given which are carefully copied from the Globe that municipalities eau, and dagiv.e better and cheaper lights than any private company.

No dispc:sition of the Power, or any part of it, should ever be Made without the consent of the ratepayer's. If; by usingeit, wo min materially re- duce the cost oflighting, have better lighting;, and besides, after paying all expenses, have a. large surplus hood for the town, as other towns have, why hesitate to undertake it. I believe the saying would pay fur plant in a few years without the ratep..yers being casted on. for one cent. Anyone who would favor turtling this Power trout nubile to .private control is. no friend to W'iig- ham, and his motive may be well questioned, i de not wish to say an • unkind word about any one, and mt:.eh less de I desire to injure any one. I merely speak far what I consider publle benefit. To buy our useless surplus water. A splen- did idea, but rather suggestive of :breakers and rooks ahead, and the proposal is "so childlike and bland." My object is to try and arouse the people of Wingham from apparent apathy, to an intelligent interest in an important, question. There was a politeal song at one time popular in England, the two• last lines of wbieh were as follows "Whatever be says beware of Pat Cpunor, Ile may have a stone in his sleeve for yobr honor," I am, &c.

We thought you would have been run out of here before this. 10. or I2 oppositions have been in the business since you came.. ,How is it you are still to the front ? Oh, that's easily answered. We:have always kept to the front' by keeping the largest and best assorted stock of mediurrt priced Furniture, nicely assorted, clean, well made goods and at reasonable prices. We don't have fancy prices, but always try to deal with the public as we would wish to be dealt by, and by so doing, we find that our sales during the past tent months are the largestwe have ever had during the same time, 'since we came to Wingham, IS years a o. And we have to -day a larger an• nicer line of goods to suppl the demand than ever befor-: And in proof of it ..we ask any 'one, old or young, i yo ait'to see a nice up-to-date Furniture Store, if you wan, buy anything in the Furniture line frOi h Common Chair to a Parlor Suite, we ask you to come in and see our goods and we think we can convince'you that you can 'get better value for your money than elsewhere. -A.i(d why do we think so ?
