deliberate alight, hurt he did not want
to start the year's proceedings to coun-

of the striking committer o through
without making any objection. On
thinking over the matter .awfully.
afterwards, he came to the conclusion'
that there would be trouble all I

the best thing be could do was to get'

he handed in bis resignation.

power was "only a half-truth. *a a
telegram from the chairman nt the
Commission, in anewer to an en-
quiry by Mayor Reid, said that
any expenditure by a municipality
under a contract made with the
Commission must be approval by
the ratepayers or the woe k would not
go 00."
The ,Signal's assertion to which The
Star refers was as follows :
"If the nutjnrity of the ratepayers
vote 'Yes' next Monday the matter
passes entirely out of their hands, and
the council and the Hydro-sleetrie
Commission can go ahead •tool 1,iod
the town to any contract thee see tit
to stake."
This woos The Signal's interpretation
of the rt*tuts•, which providei that
when the electors of a municipality
bays voted in favor of a supply of
power from the Commission the coun-
cil of such muoicipalit y, without sub-
- milling a bylaw approving the same
for the ascent of the electors, may
enter into a contract with the Com-
mie -note avid when executed such con-
tract shall be "legal, valid and lend -
The Signal challenges The Star to
show that there was anything hitt the
b.1d, plain truth in The Signal's ar-
senious or that auy part of the troth
was suppteseed.
In the first plate, it dues not make

teflon of the law is concerned, wt ea
the Hon. Adam Beck says or doe. not
say. The statute rpeiks for itself.
In the second place. Mr. Beck does
net say anything that is contradictory
of The li[gnal's assertion. When he
midreased the 5th o mbar ktbtt, council
r uBeck stated.
t as reported in The Signal's 'account of
the proceedings of the county council :
"In order to determine how many
utuoicipwiities intended to take power,
they were being asked to pass bylaws
for the taking of a referendum at the
January municipal elections. This
w'nrld not bind the Municipalities, but
would simply give themunicipel coun-
cils authority to make contracts with
the Comtuission."
This stitement, which is thoroughly
in accord with the statute quoted by
The Signal, appeals to have escaped
the notice of those interested in the
bylaw. At any rate, the impression
still prevailed in Goderich that before
w contract could be made another vote
of the people would have to be taken.
Mr. Beck's statement wee practical)
the sane as that of The Signal which
The Star now resumes to (contradict,
namely, that, while the vote in itself
does not bind the municipalities, it
gives the municipal councils the
power to make contracts which, in
the language of the statute, shall he
"legal, valid and binding." The Sig-
oal, knowing that the ratepayers did
not understand this aspect of the mat-
ter, gave theta warning as to the pos-
sible conaequencee-that the rouncil
might enter into tan iluprovideut con-
tract and the tatepay.•rs could not
help themselves,
Wbeo The Signal gave its warning,
Mayor Reid wired to Mr. Beck, askine
him how the statute affected the vote
in (toderich. Mr. Beck's reply wits an
follow*:
"Municipalities requiring to mike
expenditure of money in connection
with distribution of power under• con-
tract with Cotumission will require to
submit money bylaw beton') Lotumi.-
sion will undertake carrying out of
contract. ADAM Mom."
Will The Star or anyone else kindly
explain what bearing thio het on The
f'Fgnal's assertion ? Godet Irh is not in
the same claws as the municipalities
wh'
tc
b have made contr•wcts for power
and have had to submit hylnwe for
the pnrrhase or estehli*hing iota mun-
icipal plant. Gncerich alrea,'v has its
plant and will simply have to "hitch
up" with the Commission's transtnie.
sic[ line. At the town hall meeting
Town Solicitor Ga►row, in the pres-
ence of the editor of The Star, refused
to say that it would he necessary for
Goderich to submit a money bylaw.
Nr. Beck's telegi am, t herefot,, is
meaningless, unless it can he a*sumed
that he intends to waive the powers
given in the statute and voluntarily
