Vote on Franchise expected about May lat if Council pass measure - Council and C. of C. have discusa- ed agreement and bylaws. Town Counicil on Monday evening next will make their final decision concerning the agreement between the town and the Utilities Llght and Power Corporation for the granting of a 50-year franchise for the sup- ply of fuel gas to Bowmanville. A; meeting of Town Council and the Chamber of Commerce was held on Monday niglit wben representatives from the company. including Mr Eugene Lang, assistant to the vice- president, and Mr. Miller of the en- gineers' staff, gave an outline of the1 plans of bis company for Bowman- ville. Representative Oshawa citi- zens were also present and explained some of the details as they respect the two municipalities. The altered agreement was tborougbly discussed from every angle and the bylaws which will be presented to the rate- payers for their approval were also gone through. Should the Council pass these by- laws on Monday evening they will then have to be published for three weeks before a legal vote may be taken on them. This would make it nearly May lst before such a vote coulci be taken. Mayor Elllott when asked concern- ing the agreement whlcb was pre-1 sented ta counicil at its last meeting,1 stated that some alterations. for the' protection of the town. had beeni made and included in these altera- tions was the clause providing that local labor must be employed in the installation of mains in the town. The agreement provides that under, no condition wifl the town be held liable for anythlng in the transac- tion. The Utilities Corporation agrees ta pay cost of vote submitted to the people, to instaîl their own mains without a guarantee froni the town that the gas would be taken by any ratepayers and to replace any damaged streets tbey mlght make while dolng tis work. Mayor Eliott explalned that the company would lay the mains on streets where a demand or request was made for gas installation and that the company would lay these mains when they consldered a sufflc- ient demand was mnade for them. In making the agreement the town does not have to promise to take any gas at alI and if the rates are not what citizens consider fair then they w'.ill not be obliged to take the gas. t'he whole agreement can be suns- med up by saying that the corpora- ion is liable for ail damage and that ý,itizens are not responsible for any loss or expense the Company might have in locating at Bowmanville. In view of the fact that Osbawa LARGE AUDIENCE SAW "MlUMMY AND THE MUMPS" ON MONDAY Delightf ni Play Was Presented by Ebenezer Young People at Trinity S. S. Room With every member of the cast playing their part to perfection the Young People of Ebenezer presented their play "Mummy and the Mumps" 1ta, a capacity audience in Trinity United Churcb Sunday School on Monday evening. These young people have made a name for tbemselves in the past with their amateur pro- ductions and that nani s well up- beld and perbaps surpassed in their 1931 offering. Tbis was only the second tume that the play has been presented, it having gone througb its initial performance at Ebenezer on Friday last. The plot of the play was some- wbat complicated and produced scores of laughs and comical situa- tions. Every part was exceptionally weli taken and there was not a single need for promptlng natlced. The story was set i the surround- ings of a lgh class girls' school where Miss Agatha Laidlaw beld sway. The girls were away on their vacations except three whose par- ents or relatives had the mumps. Visiting at the school was Miss Agatha's nepbew, Blile Laldlaw, who naturally and inmediately f ell in love w1th one of the girls, Miss Dulcy IDumbell.

Needless to say, one o! the two re- maining girls faîls in love witbhlhm. Sir Hlector bad landed in New York and bad been placed in quarantine owing to, bis baving a bad case of the mumps. He, bowever, contrived to escape by substltuting biniself in a coffi.n for a mummy of an Egyptian queen be had discovered and wbich he had brougbt ta, America wlth hlm.

Police are after Sir Hector for escaplng quarantine and they arrive at the school wbere they suspect he is. This makes two Sir Hectors at the school and the trouble is to find the rigbt one. Finally the bouse is surrounded by deputies and ,the sbowdown is about to commence.
