passed between the Rural company
end, t Municipal Company and it
c rely speak,, for itself, that the
odetirh Rural Company used every
effort to come to terms with the Col-
borne people before they were too far
advanced in the work of construction.
(1n two different. occasions did the
Goderich Company's manager' write
Mr. Forster, the chief promoter, and
ask him if it were possible for them to
come to terms. but he replied only
once Mat it .vas not possible for them
to come to terms except for the pur-
pose of connection. Then again the
Goderich Company celled a meeting
of the director. at Carlow for the pur-
pp,se of making a proposition to the
Colborne people, and wrote the three
conimiesiun•rs to be present. Mr.
Forster and Mr. Walters, two of the
comtnissionere, entir.•ly .ignored the
request, while Mr. Rod, Young, the
thud commissioner, Attended the
sleeting hut refund to say anything
of the matter, stating that he wen
only one and could not act with
authority.

being held at the township hall to

Municipal System, some stated that it
was on account of the cheapness of
the Municipal System that they pre-
