Water and Light Commission. • The water and light commission is still having some difficulty in settling up accounts with the Provincial Hydro- electricCommission. The local commission having proposed an issue of 110,000 of debentures to clear up the arrears, the Provincial Commission refuses its sanction to this procedure. taking the stand that 'the arrears could be met by an adjust- ment between the water department and the electric light department. At the meeting of the local commission last week it was decided to send the chair- man tri Toronto to interview the people flown there in the matter. Mr. Murney went to Toronto on Tuesday for this purpose. At this meeting of the commission a list was presented of persons who ate still sixty days in arrears for ele:tri: light, and the superintendent was instructed to have the services cut off. It was decided to order several cars of three -quarter - lump coal as an addition to the stork now on hand at the pumping station. Tete Navy League of Canada.
