Perhaps at would be well, as many people think, to ptu•rhase the old mill property while it is for sale, and if it becomes necessary to move the plant thence at some future time such could be done, and the total cost still remain within the $21,1NM), There can be no two opinions regard- ing the fact that the building of a dans would be amply repaid by a sav- ing of fuel if it became advisable to move the plant to the river, but, we think, it is going one to far to do so at peseta, when by doing as herein suggested would solve the difficulty. These facts roust be borne in mind:— The franchise is about to expire; the service is not satisfactory; the town must buy or give another franchise; to pass a by-law the sum asked for must be within treason; no good can come from asking more than the rate- payers will vote for; the time is limit- ed. It is to be hoped that evety ratepay- er will attend the next meeting and something definite may be done. could be charged for the actual time I Zurich Sanders & Creech. Props. THIURSDAY, JULY 27, '05 THE ELECTRIC LIGil1'. Last week a public meeting, called by the Council, took place for the pur- pose of deciding what is to be done with regard to the electric light plant. Nu decision was reached. The meet - log was adjourned two weeks, mainly for the purpose of allowing time for Mr. Lovett to secure information as to the revenue to be expected should the town take over the plant. thoroughly equip it, purchase the old mill site at the river and build a dam. The cost has t,een estimated by competent per- sons, who place the amount at $20,000, being $8000 for the plant as it stands. $5001) for new machinery, wires, lamps. etc., $2,000 for the purchase of the site, 'and $5000 to build a dam. Thus far the information given was satis- factory, but the revenue to be derived from the $20,000 expenditure had not been estimated, and therefore could not be givon, consequently no action could be intelligently taken. All aro agreed that the eletric light service the town has been receiving bas not been anything like satisfactory. There may be several reasons for this. In the first place the engine. boiler, dynamos and transformers never were what they should have been. Then again the plant has received the rough- est kind of usage, owing to its not be- ing powerful enough and to the fact that at times anything but experienc- ed men have been running it. Year by year the result has been increasing- ly dissatisfactory. Moreover the tune has come when something definite Must be done. Mr. Snell's franchise transpires early next year and the town must either assume the running of a plant itself or give Mr. Snell another franchise for a term of years. In case the latter were done probably we would have to put up with a similar light to what we have been having during the whole term. Possibly the owner, if given a lengthy franchise, would install a new and complete plant. He knows whether he could doso and make tnoney. Then if he could why might not the town do so and save money? Before a by-law for the expending of $20,000 will be passed by the rate- payers it is necessary to show theta tbat they will receive something in return for the expense. Figure it cut. How aro you going to do it? The present owner is not giving away pointers as to receipts and expendi- tures. He is not telling you ttiat he has made or lost in the business. Would it not he well for the town to make haste slowly? We have given the matter a little thought and in our humble opinion the best thing that can be done is to purchase the plant nt or near the experts' price, in the neighborhood of $8000, lease the present power house, and expend ono, two or three thous- and dollars in fixing up the present plant. Then secure a practical electri- cal engineer to run it under the super- vision of a commission of three re- sponsible ratepayers, one of whom is a member of the council and named by the council, the other two to be appointed or electe'cl as may be seen fit acid proper. This would require en expenditure somewhere in the neighborhood of $10000 and a by-law for that amount should be acceptable to the ratepayer's. Then if municipal ownership did not prove a success there would be no great loss to the town, as the experts say 1lr.at the scrap value of the plant as it now stands is over $7000. \Vith the iwprovenlents it wonld be wotth mare and could be readily sold, under th' condition that a franchise be given to the purchaser, for as touch as it cost the town. There need, however, be no fear of the investment not paying, if the service given is satisfactory, as many more lights would be used, and a sat• isf ictory And paying rate per light .yens losing your hair?

The average yearly decrease has been about 40,000,000 bushels of export wheat. Practically the States has ceased to exist as a wheat export- ing country. Europe looks elsewhere for her supplies.

The population of Canada, in the 1601 census was 5,371,315. A table of the density of the population in the pro- vinces shows Prince Edward Island with 510 persons to the square mile.

The Gould mill land lying to the west and south of the Park would make a fine large ground. The saute would make a beautiful recreation ground by leaving tbe centre free of trees and planting trees around the edge. It has always been necessary to rent a green on which sports aright be held. Would it not be wise for the town to own a 1 ! ty ground. and at the same time increase the size of the park? s • %V. F. McLean, editor of the Toron- to World, and member of the Domin- ion Parliament for North York, has decided not to accept his share of the salary grab made by the politicians at Ottawa in the last days of the recent session. Private members, of whom Mr. McLean, is one, hitherto received $1500.18088i011. it has now been in- creased to $2500, The \Vorld man claims that he never saw the "round robin," never signed it and wouldn't sign it, believing that $150( was enough for private members. He also disapproves of the increase to the Premier and the Leader of the Op- position. One peculiar thing about the grab is the fact that when brought up in the House there was no elan there to oppose the increase. iiow was it the kick was not registered in the !loose? Snaith, of North Oxford, in an interview says that he is oppos- ed to tete increase, yet he did not say so in the House. McLean, however, seems to be the one main of all of them to refuse to benefit by the grab. • • Dr. J. H.
