By cleans of posters distributed about town last Saturday, it was am pounced that a meeting would be bold that eveoiug 1. the town ball ••to give the editor of The Signal ibe o r. rarity to prove whet be bas stated in this week's Woe of that paper regard- ing the bydro-electric power bylaw, and to show that be haw acted in the best interests of the lows." The brave gentlemen who were respons- ible for the posters forgot to sin their mien names to it, and en were neglectful of the cowmun courtesy of notifying the editor of The signal that his pres- ence was desired at such a meeting. e However, he heard of the meeting and n was on band. ' Mayor -elect %cid was chai.man and a about a buudredcitizens were present. • Dr. Holme, spoke in criticism of the t Si'gnal's article, and was followed by Wm. Campbell, oho read a newe- t paper report of a 'speech on hydro- electric power. • Town Solicitor Garrow was asked to give his opinion on the question at issue, and his etwtemeot was to the same effect as t hat of The Signal - namely, that a favorable vote on the question submitted to the elector', would give the town council power to mate a bindiog contract. He was not quite cute whether it would i.e Drees - eery to submit a bylaw later on to authorize the issue a debeutnres; but in any ca -e this would not affect the validity of the contraet• •, Mr. Robertson then spoke and justi- fied the publishing of by article, first, however, paying his respects to the people who assumed the role of news- paper censors. He declared that be considered it his duty to pass on to the ratepayers the lnfarmation which he bad gained as to the state of the law respecting the Hydro -electric Commission *94 to warn them against taking trHepin abs dark. He bad only a few days before received the Information upon which he based the article in The Signal, and though it was the eleventh boor he thought it was better that the voters should even then know the troth. He urged that the ratepayers should keep the wetter in their own hands and not give the council the power of making a binding contract. The Signal had been a pioneer iu the agitation for the devel- opment of Maitland River power; but there Tags no guarantee that this vote would give us Maitland power: the Maitland River scheme might he dropped and the towp be paddled with a contract for Niagara power which it could not dispose of. Mr. Robertson's statement met with a good deal of sympathy from the audience, and the speeches which fol- lowed, while in favor of the hydro- electric project. contained little of criticism of The Signal's article. At the close of the me*.. ng Mayor -elect Reid stated from the platform that so far as his influence wuuld go no con- tract would be made without the ap- proval of the ratepayer•. If Mr. Iteid's view prevails with the council, and say proposed contract is submit- ted to vote of the ratepayers, this is all The Signal wants A MODERN MIRACLE. He Had Eczema Twenty-5ve Years aad Doctors Said "No Cure." -Yet Zam- Btlk Has Worked Complete Cure. This is the experience of a man of high reputation, widely known in Montreal, and whose case can readily be investigated. Mr. T. M. Marsh, the gentleman referred to, lives at 101 Delorimier avenue, Montreal, and has lived there for years. For twenty- five years he hag; had eczema on his hands and wrists. The disease first started in red blotches, which itched, and when scratched became painful. Bad sores followed, wbich discharged, and the discharge spread the disease until his hands were one raw, painful mass of sores. This state of affairs continued for twenty.five years ! In that time four eminent medical men tried to cure him anti each gave up the case as hopeless Naturally, Mr. Marsh tried remedies of all Kinds, but he, also, at last gave it up. For wo yearn he had to wear gloves day nd night, so terrible was the pain and aching when the air pot to the sores. Theo came 7,am-Bok ! He tried it. ust as he had tried hundreds of retr- ies before. But he soon found out hat Zam-Buk was dilTerent. Within few weeks there were distinct signs f benefit, and a little perseverance ith this great herbal halm resulted what he had given up all hope of - complete cute! And the cure We o temporary cure. It was perrnan- nt. He was cured nearly four year.. o. Interviewed the other day, Mr. arch said : "Tbe core which 'l.,m- Buk worked has been atmolutele per- manent.
