The conservatives received 248,165 votes or slightly less than 54 per cent of the total; the Liberals received 198,169 votes or about 43 per cent; third party candi- dates, 16,159 votes or slightly less than 4 percent. The total vote cast was ap- proximately 462,450, as compared with 355,738 in the Provincial General Elec- tion of 1911. The attention of politicians through- out the Province is being focussed upon the fact that if proportional represen- tation were in force in this Province on Francis and Shuter streets was for a by-law so drastic as were the the provisions of the by-law passed in in July. We give the provisions of the new by-law in our report of the Council proceedings and we are sure none of our citizens or good friends from the country will raise any objection to the new by- law. The editor of the TIMES was pleased to hear Coun. Currie's report. to the effect that the average cost per foot of the sewer had been reduced from $1.22 to $1.11. As ex -chairman of the Com- mittee we were looking for the same result and ha q always said the average cost would be reduced when the work the Liberals would have 48 seats in the next House instead of 25; the Indepen- dents 4 instead of 2; the Conservatives 50 instead of St, This would give the Government a majority of only six after the appointment of the speaker. In pregaration of these statistics Liberal and Temperance votes have been counted in the sense column inas- much as practically every avowed temperance candidate was directly or impliedly endorsed by the Liberal Exec- utives in the constituency in weich the& ram In Toronto, where elec- tors have two votes, only one vote is counted for each elector, and that the highest vote in each riding, The dis- parity between the aggregate votes in 1914 and 1911—about 107,000 -is to a certain. extent due to the fact that three years ago there were eighteen acclamations and on June 29th there were but four, but if the 1914 figures are counted in for the eighteen acclam- ations of 1911 and the 1911 figures added in for the four acclamations this year—which is probably the fairest way of treating the question—it will be seen that this year's vote is about 65,- 000 in actual figures more than three year ago. Also it is worthy of notice that the recent Provincial vote is within approxi- mately 1 per cent. of that huge vote which was cast three years ago during the reciprocity campaign and there was only one acclamation in that election. Thus it observed that this vote is the largest ever polled in any Provincial election in this Province, exceeding if allowances are made for acclamations, by almost 45,000 the total vote in 1905 which was the record up to that time. The Government's popular majority over all its opponents is shown to be 33,837. In these figure Evanturel is classed as an Independent; the liquor Liberal in North Norfolk is classed as a Independent; the second candidate in Rainy River is placed in the same cate- gory; and the Independent Conservative candidate in Prince Edward is put in the Conservative column.

We Least of our intelligenee, undertaken. At a meeting of the Street and Sew- er Committee on Saturday morning there was a difference of ophsion as to the amount of work being done on the sewer, and 31r. A. M. Fralick tendered his resignation as foreman. In our opinion Mr. Fralick has done good work on the sewer. Everything has been done in a workmanship manner. The work done this year will compare favor- ably with any similar work done under contract. Farther, Mr. Fralick had many difficulties to contend with. He had to put a sewer through the worst digging ever encountered in the town. Was hindered with water and caving in and in other ways hindered in his work so that satisfactory progress was impossible. The work done this year cannot, in fairness, be compared to work done in other years as 2onditions were entirely different. CHURCH NOTES. • The second Sunday of the month has been appointed for the administration of the Sacrament of Baptism at St. Paul's Church.
