Miss Campbell is one of a hundred heirs to a fortune of eightyfive million dollars. All the particulars as to bozo she becatne that fortunate, we Cannot relate, Suffice it t 'say, that Miss Campbell re- ceived notice that she was one of the legal heirs, and the notice Was accorn- panled by $2pQ to pay her expellees to Mexico, where she must go to receive the legaty. This immense fortune of eighty-five million dollars was left by Pedro Oolvoldosto. Six years'ago, he was working for thirty-five cents a day, but discovered a rich mine, which in the short space of six yenta made hint a niulti•miitionaire, .lie died in August last, and Misa'tiampbell has been notified that she is one of ono hundred heirs to thie immense for- tune, As to how Much of the $E5,Q(1(1,- 000 she will receive, she tines not know, but will inform the Advance on her return from Mexico, Miss Camp• bell is well known hi Wingham, $1.00 PER TEAR IN ADVANCE Serious Accident.

Ile was thrown off, and the corner of the loud fell up- on hixn. In the position, he was drag- ged several feet, before the team was stopped. The accident was witnessed by those near by, and help speedily arrived. Mr. Henderson was found to be very seriously injured, one thigh being crushed and it is feared internal injuries sustained.

Mr. Ganthier, of the Concert troupe that entertained the audience on Mon- day evening, had been in Wingham for three days in connection with the National Iron Works, Ltd. In conver- sation with Mr. Gauthier, who is a practical machinist, the Advance learned that Bullock engaged him as superintendent of the concern at a sal- ary of $1,600. Ile came and stayed three days, quite long enough to see the drift of things, During those three days he saw enough to satisfy him, and so told Bullock that he was going to quit, Bullock intimated that he must have got "on to it," and handed him $25, Bullock accompanied him to Toronto, and on the way, it is said, ex- plained the whole affair, remarking that he had those "dubs" (meaning the Town Council) just where he want- ed them, Whoever lost stoney in the concert., it is Mr. (Jauthiex''s opinion that $uilgak lust pone, but made con- siderable bard cash out of the notori- ous scheme, Social,. A successful Social was held in Holmes' school -house on Thursday evening, in connection with the Sun- day School that Meets chore, For the past few years, Mr. John Kerr of Wingham has been superintendent of this school, driving out every Sunday to discharge a "work of faith and labor of love," and his efforts have been much appreciated by the people of that neighberhood. The school is well attended and is doing an excellent work, In a place where the children would be unable to attend the Sunday schools of town, on acconnt of the dis- tance. On Thursday evening, an in- teresting program was rendered in which the Misses Homuth, the Misses McKague, Mrs. J. Porter, Mrs, W. King, Mr. Chas, Homuth and othera took part. A pleasing event of the evening was the presentation to Mr, Kerr, (by way of a surprise) of a hand- some OAz3OD, as an evidence that his faithful efforts on behalf of the School were appreciated. Mr. W. King read the accompanying addrese, and Mr. Linklater made the presenta- tion. Mr. Kerr made a suitable reply to the kindly -worded address, and then attention was turned to the abundant supply of excellent eatables provided by the ladies of the neigh- borhood. This Sunday School is in a prosperous conclitioo, there beteg au attendance of from sixty to eighty children and adults, who take great interest in the lessons.

In view of the fact that Wingham proposes to adopt the principle of mu- nicipal ownership, it is interesting to note the progress of this movement. In December Iasi, the Municipal World gave a tabulated statement of waterworks and electric light plants in cities, towns and villages in Ontario. Very few were aware that the idea of municipal ownership had prevailed so much as it has, . Out of the one hon. dred and thirteen waterworks plants in Ontario, all but eight were, in De- cember last, owned by ,municipalities, The very fact that the principle has been so largely adopted is a powerful argument in itself. It is not at all likely that these 113 municipalities have all made a mistake, and that the eight who adhere to (we might say suffer) ownership by private parties are the only really wise ones in this respect. The more reasonable suppo- sition is—that the success of the sys- tem in many of these, has led many others to follow their example, It Will. Pay. But perhaps someone will say --these are waterworks plants, and we have no proof that it would pay as well to adopt the principle in the ownership of an electric light plant, which is now proposed in Wingham. There is this, however, to be considered :—In the case of waterworks, the system has to be first installed, and the citizens in- duced to use the water and abolish their wells. This takes time and ex- penditure ; even in this case, muni- cipal ownership pays, as evidenced in so many instances. Much more is the system likely to prove a success, when the principle is applied to an electric Light plant, in good condition, with "abundance of power, water or steam, machinery etc., all in successful opera- tion. For on the day that the owner- ship passes to the Town of Wingham, the town begins to realize an income Irene that source. With the large number of business places and resid- ences now using electric light, there can be no doubt whatever aF to pat- ronage, and there seems to be no reason why the profitable business now operated by the Electric Light Co. cannot be efficiently and advan- tageously operated for, and in the in- terests of the Town of Wiugham. : Better Lighted Streets. ' Tho better lighting of onr streets if the plant was owned by the Town is important consideration. At present our streets are not lighted properly. Instead of six street lights, we should have at least three times six, As it is we pay about $500 annually, and the back streets are shrouded in Egyptian darkness. Very few towns have made the progress Wingham has, and very few are so poorly lighted. Let there be light, and more of it. There would be, if it were our own. Why grope in darkness, when the town might prac- tically have free town light.. Present Experience. Wingharn has bad. a little experi- ence in municipal ownership, A few years ago, the waterpower was pur- chased and a new dam built for fire protection purposes, at a cost of $8,000 or over. What has been the result? A profit to the municipality each year, over and above the amount due for sinking fund and interest. Why should the result not be the same with electric light ? The Expense. Yes, of course ; no auch system could be operated without considerable ex- pense. But if the plant has yielded a handsome profit In the past (and there seems to be doubt on that point) there is no reason why it should not continue to do so. The following are the ex- penses at present as submitted by Mr. Green :-- Man, $1.60 per day $ 468 00 Man, $1.00 per day 313 00 Man, 51.50 per day (extra) 408 00 Superintendent & book-keeper 1200 00 Carbons Oil, waste, etc.,, 1b0 00 52 00 Eighty tone of coal 265 00 Wood 800 00 Replacement of lamps 180 00 Insurance and taxes 177 30 $4073 30 The Income. Mr, Green has given an extended ac• count of his monthly cash receipts for several years, and we give below the yearly totals : 1898 $6069 09 5599 41 19 1 6905 88 1902 9580 69 By comparing these with the expenses, there seems to be no reason to doubt that there would be a good profit. The Annual Payment. Yearly payment according to By-law 490 $1734 90 From this deduct what the town now pays annually for electric light—say 480 00 Balance to be raised $1254 00 So that we may safely regar his as the extra amount to be raise r -early, if the lant is p purchasedby ,e town. The Prospect, Suppose we take the year of smallest income given above— ' Income, 1900 $5599 41 Less estimated expenses 4073 30 Balance $1526 11 Lose annual payment 1254 90 Balance favor of town$272 21 If we take 1902 as a guide, and for the sake of safety allow $1,500 for unfor- seen expenses, the figures would be— Income, 1902 • $9580 69 Unforseeu expense..$1500 00 Working expense... 4073 30 5573 30 Balance $4007 39 Less annual payment 1254 90 Balance in favor of town. $2752 49 So that there seems to be no room for doubt as to the wisdom of supporting Bylaw No. 490, for the purchase of the Electric Light plant.
