Protest Over Hydro A meeting of hydro users in various Simcoe munici^ialities was held at Cooks- t )wn recetiily <nd a resolution passed defliaodirg a fl'»t rate for Ontario. Re- garding the recent enormtus increase ia rates the Allistnn Herald says : â- ' The increase in the tairs ro the smaller of these munioipaiities is a matter of grave concern to those who are carry- ing the load. Cookstowu, though the pecpU there know they are liot .so hard hit a» Bradford, Beeton or Tottenham, bitterlv* resents htinc saddled with a big additional obligation. Cookstown s rate per hnrsepower has beon raised from f3fi to ♦«50. but when the town men heard what bad been done to Bradford they groaned in sympathy for the GwiUimbury village which is to be forced to pay 585 per horse power instead of faO. Beetoo jumps fr' ni ^45 to f}«0 aud some jf the delegates ^taled that Tottenham bad been dealt with similarly to Bradford. Not a man present coiild eive any reason for the increase. From evtry town the representatives .<tated that they h.ad been led to believe when tkeir service was installed that in the course of a jear or two the rate would drop. Just abou" the time 1 he drop was coming due au increasH su';h as the staggering oi,e just imposed was so unexpected ^hat the citizen» of the varirus towns had rot ytt recover>'d fnui the shock. In discussing what action should be take<i ii was suggesleii that a deputation consistini; c»f a represmtative from e^ch municipality affected go down to Toronto uni lay the whole nutter before the Premier with the reque.st thai we havj the whole Ujdro administration systim thoroughly invesiigattd wiiha vit-w to uiacovering where lios the inconi pe t ei" ce le.'ipoDsible tor grave enors uiakini; necessary sucli material advances in rates as had leecLt- ly been made, and this after a .supposed paving basi.t had been established ar the inception of Hydro service. .\ motion to thisitftct nas cirried. ;i I Th« frame bouve nn the farm inicupied | j by George Looby, lot oO, 8th Iioe, Aina- j ! tanth. wastota'lv destroyed by tire.

McCaffrey High Constable Grey County will have Mr. John .Mc- Caffrey, Depu y Fire Chief of Uwen Sound, as its High Ouastable,',temp'>rar' ily at least. The temporary appointment will be ratified by the proper authorities immediately, and Mr. .MoCaffrry has already acted iu his new position by arrestini; Hugh MctJlean. It: will tie remembered that the County Council at their last session authorized the appointment of Thomas Carsio as High Constable at a salary "f $15i'0 a year.
