Will Mayor Hooken'i Proposal Bear Fruit? -Want* city to Buy the Railway and Electric Light Mayor Hocken took the people's breath away by hia bold proposal to buy out the Toronto Street Railway and the Toronto Electric Light Company.

At best, the negotiations will be long drawn out; there wijl be misunderstandings, criticisms and auspicious, and altogether the proposal has a rocky road to travel before it can reach the goal aimed at. But the Inci- dent, as far as it has gone, serves to show the Mayor at his beat. II" has large ideas and courage. If in such an Important juncture as the present one. he exhibits also patience, ahrewdneas and sustained driving force, he will take rank as one of Toronto's best mayors.
