SAYS COMMISSION IS RIGHT.
Superintendent Chant .of 'the Pub-
lic Utilities takes exception
nri to the.
standtaken t ten by Clerk Macpherson, as
set forth in the 'report-- of the last
council i
need regarding
rho
grnan-
fn
agement of the town waterworks.
Mr. Chant says the -Commission is
conducting the system . ;according to
• the Provincial law governing .public
utilities. Mr. Macpherson's' chief ob-
jection was that revenues from the
Waterworks were used tri extend the
plant; instead of being ; used to re-
duce taxes. Mr. Chant 'says this is
not the case, that there has only been
a surplus during the papt couple of
years and that when tliese;accmnu-
late sufficiently they will`be returned
to the users of water, olio only are
entitled. to -then;: Iii ' the •nieanttihje;
until it is worth while to issue a de-
benture for the extension -.of the
land the money on h
11 o and is used..
sed.
Mr. Chant says the idea is not that
there should be any surplus, but that
it is difficult to fix rates so that:
they, will exactly meet the needs of
the commission. The council decid-
ed to meet the commission shortly,
and probably a better -understanding
will be arrived at.

Mr. Gibbings during his earlier
manhood was active . in the public
life of the, town, being a member of

The death occurred, after a fe

who knew hen best feel that -it tva
as she would have wished: .She aper
a busy, useful life and at its en
there was no long period of helpless

and live."

Miss Hunter lived most of her life
itt the homestead on the London

were laid of her

is evidence enough of a good work-

Miss Hunter's services were ire

and was attended by litany old friend
in town and the old home . eommuitit

s
"Friends and Fellow citizens: El
,izabeth Hunter has been my faithfu
nurse for many years, and a sense of
gratitude and cluty moves and invites
me to•„speak a word at her funeral
You will pardon nee if I read a few
remarks that I would make, for 'on
occasions such as this, speech is
prone to a halting' gait. To my mind,
the very name Elizabeth
Bunter is
a end t
n tell
a lin n .�. praise can add to
neithef ;esti calumny or venom
detract from it. Elizabeth Hunter
received het;training, in my hospital
and was the chief of our nursing
staff to f for ev •
s oral
years...•
Speaking for myself, I recall El-
izabeth Hunter in terms of eyes,
knees, hands and feet to rne, both in
her Work inside of the hospital and
out of it and her memory is written
deeply on my heart, I bespeak the
same for all the other doctors. You
will be asked to take a last look at
her remains as it lies there: For my
I shall a l l i
partview these remains in
terms of fruit end flowers.' The E1-
izalieth Hunter that lies in the. coffin
is no more Elizabeth Hunter than is
any lump of earth. I ate not here
-to speak of death, niy theme is're-
sturection and life, 'Science teaches
'that death, ressursction and life are
one, a law of nature, a law-of;the Un-
iverse, the law of God. '
The seeds that are planted and
watered by loving hands, return. with
smiles, as flowers and grain, to bless.
and feed the hand that planted. Yon
will ask the where Elizabeth Hnitter's
body lies if it be not ,9n: the coffin•
and the grave, My reply is, I know
not; the places are too many: It is
aid away and becomes -a living cher-
shed memory. in a thousand hearts•

ne • love to'permit love that
as been sacrificed in devotion to
uty and serViee, to. ".remain .in -a
