A. Chief Engineer of the Hydro fsslon concerning Whithy's ransforming station, The com- ption pointed out that the line into Whitby is now dan- rary Plant In Whitby to "a, Overloaded Power Line gerously overloaded and that some steps must be taken immediately to relieve the situation. As the new equipment camnot be put into ser- vice for many months yet the Hydro Commission wish to install a tem- porary plant, supplying the neces- sary transformers, ete, and renting them to the Town. The letter said that the cost would probably be less then the cost of maintaining the per- manent plant as the rental would be partly offset by the saving in trans- forming charges, The commission de- cided to allow the Hydre Commis sion to take what action it deems necessary, The matter of extensions of the water service was also taken up in the meeting. Residents on Centre St. north had applied for water and were promised accommodation through a one-inch pipe. It was pointed out that this would not take care of any expansion and that it offers no proection from fire. Al- most one thousand feet of pipe will have to he laid. Mr, Hvery recom- mended that six inch mains with fire plugs should be installed wherever extensions are made, It was also will be on display at The Exhibition start- ing tomorrow.

Mr. Every explain- ed that the work could be done also under the Public Utilities Act, Prop- erty may be taxed for water service up to four mills on the assessment. The amount paid in water rates is remitted. This means that persons using water now would be practie- ally unaffected as in most cases the rates are equal to the hypothetical tax. Owners of vacant lots who to- day benefit through increased values by the services without paying any- thing toward them, would she com- pelled to contribute toward the cost. Some definite action in the matter of adopting a new system is likely to follow shortly. TWO CHARGES AGAINST JOHNSON TAXI CO.

Tuck, OPT. D, Normal eyes enjoy single binoe- ular vision hat is, each eye has a distinct image of the object view- ed and the two images are inter- preted as one or fused into one. In order that both images may be seen as one both eyes must be di- rected towards the same object at the same time. It would not do for one eye to fix on an object and the other to wander off in some oth- er direction. When this condition elxsts, the eyes see double. The positions and the movements of the eyes are controlled by mus- cles attached to the outside of the eyeballs, If when looking straight ahead at a distant object these mus- cles are in a state of rest the eyes are in "Balance," or orthophorie. But frequently they are not in hal- ance and one or more of the mus- cles must ba continually exerting an effort to hold the eyes straight, When this condition exists the eyes are out of halance or Heterophorie. Muscle imbalance i8 one of the greatest causes of strain and suf- fering, It is often true that errors of vision cause this imbalance and when the error is corrected the im- balance corrects itself but frequent- ly special treatment is necessary to restore normal balance with com- fort.
