THE MUNICIPAL POT The renurkahle ^piing like weather up until the present time has made it difficult to realize that the hulic'uys and elections are so near. Perhaps this also has had somethii-g to do wi'h the paucity .f election rumors. No ri'iilly definite announcements ha\t- yet been made by aspirants to the village council and the surrounding township is pretty nearly on the same plane. although there are a few things that are practically ceituin. Mi- Jonathan Latimer of Kugenia Hill be a candidate for councillor. Mr. Alex Cameron's name has also been mentioned to us, liut his candidature i not cenain. Councillor McLeod is positively out of it for the coming year, his husinusts re- i 'in nil! his h ! attention. He wishes UN to make this announcement as clear as possible so that any aspirant in the West Ward may have no hesitation in coming forward. Wo have not got Reeve M- K.-I./-I- .. sanction fur the statement that he will ask the penplc to elect him once more, but believe ho will do in, nevertheless. Mr. McKenzie is a ctrc- ful, conscientious ollicial and we believe the big majority of electors are quite satisfied that lie hai done his btst for the welfare of the township. Nominations will lie held mi Mondiiy, Jan. 2'.l, and electiutu on Monday, J in. 5. Hydro-Electric Banquet Glolie Rupoit Uuelph, December U.

We hava an instanc not far from London, where fanners g*v a light of tray mil subsciil*.! thousands of dollars of stock in cash just to have a company RO into liquidation und nn- other come alonu and take it up at lo s than value. Where it tlie beneKt the in the proposed olectric railway scheme I farmer if to get from cheap tranipoiU I from Hi-speler through to various points on the tieoigian Uay, held a banquet to- night at which tho plan was d it cussed and heartily approved. A resolution w.ts adop'ed amid i-ni IIM-. iastic cheers asking the aid of the On- tario Hydro-electric Commission in the project. Alderman Haunigan presided. HOD. Ailam Heck was given a inaxnHicent re- ception, when he, with Mr. J. \V. Lynn of Guelph, President of the Ontario Municipal Electrical Association, entered the banquet hall of the new Y. M. C.

If we have honest and decent ai.d effective administration- ud that i* your affair tho benefit will BO lo the people. We placed i route before the niuncipili- ties to-day of a road which can be main- tained for 874,000 per annum. 1 am not saying this it a betcer district but you intend traversing a district m t nearly as well served with tailways and you have a ual justification. This report is us valu- uable to yon as if made for you. We have passed the pi'ineer singe. What we propose is to Usue 40-year gold deben- tuies to be placed in the hands of the commission in trust, to guarantoe the bonds of tho municipalities. You go into the matter with your eyesupen.

The Hydro-electric, hydro electric. As it is you are piling up Oontmuaiuo, from what th.y knew of the a big asset; there has never been a road to be constructed under their an- Rp'ces out of Toronto to Newmarket and thought that we would ever directly tax anyboiy. We appoint engineers to I'ort Perry, believed thtt the proposition! survey ihn best routes considering neon- would be a paying cue. They did not, omy of construction and the municipah- snticipate that there would lie any netd tics requiring it. If you think it too large :i vrHturc, do not venture. lo resort to taxation to muke up a short. agu. At the same time the municipalities, sections so feel, you must concerned would have to take thU lisk.

We must ha\e hit pretty haid in order to bring forth tucli a torrent of opinion from a source where people have ceaatd to look for editorial opinions of of any kind. When we said there was no one X'' oen with envy around here we spuke for our own municipility. Perhaps Thornhury, ClarkNburg, Ueathcote and Chatsworth have the envy diiease in a viiulent form, lull there u no lign of it here. Tli fact that we find it ncceaxary < caaionally to knock thu eslernied editor of the Standard over the knuckles just to keep him in his place, should not be interpreted as an evidence that we liar- \n>r any animals of the Alice in Wonder- land variety.
