Against this, of course, must be placed the advantage of cheaper power at its source 57 per horse power being the estimated figure. ' . That will be the eventual result' of theevote on January 1st. The immedi- ate result will be a ntaudate.to the Government to repeal the present Act governing the projected Chippewa scheme and to enact new legislation placing the ownership in the hands of the municipalities, > , The wisdom of this is a subject for discussion be- fore the bylaw is voted upon. For the moment, the situation needs only be stated. At the last session of the Legisla- ture a Biti was passed giving the Gov- ernment control of the construction and operation of the Chippewa Creek development. The Hydro -Electric Commission was given power to con- -duct the undertaking "under the Guth- -ority and direction of the Ontario Gov- ernment, acting on behalf of the muni- cipalities who may be supplied with .power from such development" Premier Hearst agreed that if, the mun- icipalities, in sufficient number, would, request that the proposed generating plants be owned by the municipalities instead of by the Ontario Government,. the presentlegislation , would be re 'pealed, and a ,new . Act passed giving,. the municipalities the ownership and control of these : plants. . The bylaw now before the ratepayers of Stratford and the other municipalities is design- ed to that end, it is generally, agreed that Chip- pewa Creek development i necessary for. the supply of more p The amount at present in use all the municipalities is 200,000 and Adam Beck informs the Inuuici es that 225,000 or 250,000 could utilized if. it were available. The Commission has a contract with the Ontario Power Co., for the supply of 100,000 1 power at $9 per h. p. and they have made an- ' other contract with the Canadian Pow- er Company for the supply 0,000, Of which about 35,000 is b deliver- ed. The Chippewa development will provide sufficient fur nm year:, to come. There is no quest•an a5 io the wis- dom of the Chippewa Creel: scheme. The Government has ,nada it pessihle foe the preparatory week to be already started and the Government stands. ready to back up the project to a successful conclusion. Do' the muni- cipalities, who must pay the shot eventually, desire that Government control of this gigantic and costly scheme be removed; That is the clear meaning of the question put to the ratepayers. In considering the pro- posal. the people should get the proper perspective from the first. There is already some evidence of the proposi- tion being viewed with suspicion—pos- sibly because of its sudden launching at . the last minute and the fact that the query itself does not tell the whole story—and if the ratepayers are to vote to their best interests three weeks hence, there must be fair and frank dis- cussion of the signithance, advantages and disadvantages of the scheme.

The private com- panies developing power at the Palls are making substantila profits for their own shareholders. The mnuicipalities should do as well for themselves by going into the development on their own account and reaping their profits in reduced rsntes and more power. Sup- port the bylaw. (St. Marys Journal) The proposed vote on municipal ownership of sources of electrical en- ergy instead of the g"esent plan of Gov ernment ownership opens a question in which we are more or less at sea. What is the object? There can be no quest - toe as to the advisability of the people owning all these power sites, but is there any advantage in the municipali- palities owning them r;tther than the Government.

It is to be presumed the first named bylaw i merely to place the municipal- ity in a position to deal adequately with the gas situation by nunicipilizing the gas supply, as th car service and the water and electri light servicer have already been dealt with `lite object of • the other bylaw sto provide for muni- cipal ownership of the proposed devel- opment at Chippewa Creek to increase the amount of electric power available for the provirce. .. ..The Chippewa development s to provide for future oneo, pI The question Is f in encie4. q emit apparently /municipal versus govern- ment o vnerehip of the Chippewa Creek develo ntegt, and ineither case the lana icipalit es /will have to pay the shot.

At the present time the power which supplies this system is not de- veloped by the Ontario Hydro Cont - m SSIOO, but generated by'" a private company and sold to the Commission. Now it is proposed that the Commis- sion build a developing plant of its own. This ought to be good business, and if properly handled should result in the reduction of the rates all over the system, in addition to overcoming 'the present difficulty of insufficient supply of power. It is unfortunate thatdisth a wording tubi of the bylaw should be a guous. :It may be read to. incite the addition ct no further liabilities to thosew resting under upon the' municipalities con- tract 'to the Hydro Got ission. In several municipalities this bit of noticed, "queerness" has been no d, and at St,unci Thomas the city council, on thes advice of its solicitor, has declined to submit the by-law.

It is one of Lhe most dangerous diseases of infancy, and yearly causes more deaths than scarlet fever, typhoid or diphtheria, and is more common in female than in male children. Whooping Cough starts with sneezing, watering of the eyes, irritation of the throat, feverishness and cough. The coughing attacks occur frequently but are generally more severe at night. On the first sign of a "whoop," Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup should be administered, and weeks of suffering prevented, as it helps to clear the bron- chial tubes of the collected mucous and phlegm.
