MUNICIPAL MATTERS
Havipg thrown over the Brodie by-
law. foe which it was one of the cher
sponse e, The Ooderieh Star now tries
to malt the town into an ill-oonsidered
bargain with the Ontario Hydro -Elec-
tric Commission. OLe would imagine
that, free) from its unfortunate ex-
perience with the Brodie proposition.
Thr Star would feel some hesitancy
about appearing again in tbe role of
tau adrii.er of the people in regard to
power contracts; but no sooner doe&
it acknowledge itself toe hasty in tak-
ing up one proposition than it grabs
at another without taking time to es -
amine it.
The terms for Meyers power at
bluderich. as stated by Mr. Berk. are
134 tis per b. p. on a contract for 9 0
bursepower. Comparing this with
:r.15 borepower et 134 per h. p.. as
offered by Mr. Brodie, the Niagara
propo.itlon does not strike us at all
favorably. It would be the veriest
folly tor the town to rush iota a cos -
tract for power at this price. eves
with the prospect of a reduction of
the price at name time in the futon'
tbrougb the devekspnent of Maittem/

await the further action of the county.
If the county will not go ahead with
the scheme. after receiving tbe report
of the Hydro -Electric Commission, it
will be in order for the town of Gods-
nch, as was suggested bv. Mr. Lane at
the town hall meeting. to consider the
development of Maitland power as a
Gown proposition.
At any rate, Niagara power on the
terme now offered us is out of the
question for Gcderich. and the town
council •will do wisely if it drops the
whole matter until it is seen what tbe
county is going to do.

W. J. R. Hot.slas,
Mr. Kidd's suggest lone, as contained
in bis letter to the town council,
should receive the sympathetic atten-
tion of that body. Sumpter after
summer goes by without the provi-
sion of propel bathing facilities and
other much-needed accommodation
for visitors. witbout the improvement
of the waterfront, without any defin-
ite policy for tbe encouragement of
the tourist and excursion trade.
Everybody admits that Oodericb pos-
sesses rare attractions for summer
visitors: but many visitors complain
of the absence of accommodations
which are necessary to the pleasnre
abd comfort of the sojourner. The
Signal can state with definiteness that
the town is in danger of losing some
of its summer trade owing to the ne-
glect of these matters, and the coun-
cil should take decisive action to re-
move the causes of complaint.

Election Predictions.
Toronto star.
Opposition newspapers are splendi!
predictors. They have already swept
almost every Provisos in Oenada fodl
Mr. Borden. The fact that they have
done the same thing prior to other
elections, with marked paucity of rei
suite', does not deter them. They are
es sure as ever that their party is go-
ing to be victorious.
Last January. however. w hen thet
election was not in sight, The Toronto
Newts made references to a-eeiprocity'a
likely reception in the various Prov-
inces. It ndmitied that "the West
will welcome a free American mark
for wheat and oats." As for the home
Province, it is said that "undoubtedly
the farmers of Ontario desire the re,
moved of American customs duties on
live stock, dairy products, vegetables,
eggs . and otber articles covered by the
agreement." It predicted that •'Quebec
will be interested in a free market for
hay. vegetable:, and dairy products."
"Free fish will be a stroug attractioh.
to the Maritime Proyincea."
These excellent reasons cited by The
News in a moment of temporary can-
dor still commend themselves to the
majority of voters in the provinces
named, but The News has yielded rte
party- pressure, and now sees (leastfor the agreement encetbe Government
upon every hand. in January.epeak-
ing fur the agreement upon its merits
and without termed to partisan poli-
tics, it declared tbat
"Unquestionably, therefore. the ar-
rangement will command strong sup-
port from Canadian producers, and.
has been raid, nothing else could have
been expected,"
1t went even further, and coni
that "it has to he admitted that the
Washington Administration. as a
measure of relief from serious political
combinations, has conceded more to
Canada than we have yielded to the
neighboring country." in otber
words, it conceded it would he too
much to expect producers to oppose
an agreement which embodies the
very principle• which they have fav-
ored. and which contains ^onceseions
on the part of the United State. more
important than those which have toren
made by the Dominion. It has long
since discar ed Ibis sensible view of
the situetloo. but the producers them-
selves have not discarded it. Cana-
dian farmers see that their welfare is
bound up in the agreement and they
do not intend to be influenced against
it by the campaign of certain money-
ed iotereste, whose profession of inter-
est in the Punters' fate is se sudden at.
it is insincere.
