N icks' Forecasts for Jaly.
The Vulcan atui•nl period, centrad on
the' 26th, covers the Zird to the 27th.
The temperature will rise to another
climax of warmth during the tlrst days
of this period, the barometer will fall
at the sante time, all culminating in
threatening gusts and storms on and
touching the '-.6th, loth and '27th.
Many of these July periods will bring
violent, local hall storms to !daily- sec-
tions in the middle to north-western
states. Such results are naturally to
be apprehended during both the Venus
and the Mars periods in summer, the
two being blended at this time.
Municipal Ownership Meeting.
Whether it was the oppressive heat
of Monday night that caused such a
slink attendance at the meeting called
by the town fathers for the discussion
of the advisability of accepting Mr. C.
B. Snell's offer in the purchase of the
electric light plant it is not tor us to
say, but this we may say many made
themselves conspicuous by their ab-
sence and the meeting was not a rep-
resentative one by any means. How-
ever, Dr. Rollins was assigned to the
chair and calling the meeting to order
explained its object and set fourth in
a brief address some of his personal
views regarding the matter. .'t1r•. Jus.
Senior, clerk of the village, was then
asked to act ae secretary of the meet-
ing and read the correspondence in his
possession bearing on the subject for
id scueeion. A Mr. Kelly, of Goderich,
had been invited by the town council
to make a valuation of Mr. Snell's
plant and his estimate, as read by the
Clerk, showed a valuation of plant, in-
cluding building and property.
amounting to $9674.00. A Mr. Aitken
of Toronto, had also been consulted
and asked to give figures of a similar
nature. some $7347.12, not including
building, windmill and real estate.
Mr. L. H. Dickson, the town solicitor.
was then called and addressed the
meeting at some length. He stated
that the council had been given an op-
tion on the old mill property, which
was $2000, but that the time limit had
expired. He, however, was of the
opinion that Mr. Howard would ex-
tend the time if the town was in a pos-
ition to close the deal. He further
stated that from what he could learn
that it would coat the town in the
neighborhood of $5000 to erect a dam
and further that it would cost $15000
to establish and equip an electric light
plant thus necessitating the issuing of
debentures to the extent of $200(10.
This he said the council would not un-
dertake without the sanction and con-
sent of the ratepayers, and this not
being a representative tneeting he
would advise adjournment to some
date in the near future. The council
board came in for considerable ad-
verse criticism by Mr. D. A. Rose and
Mr. T. B. Carling. Mr. Ross said it
wax too bad that the council had not
prepared something in the way of a
proposition, while Mr. Carling agreed
with him in the matter and said there
was nothing before the people to con-
sider intelligently. Mr. Dickson took
up the cudgel on behalf of the council
and said the remarks of the previous
speakers were out of place in ridicul-
ing the council, as they had done all
that could be expected of them to
place the matter before the ratepayers.
Mr. Connor was present and volunteer-
ed some valuable information regard-
ing electric lighting and other matters
which proved of interest and profit to
the electors in considering the platter
before them. Short addresses were
also wade by others present. The
meeting then adjourned for two weeks.

the Reeve, who is ill, promising to
compile some facts and figures fur
