Thene wene 92 births, tic babies renîaining la lie hospital 871 days, making the total days' stay in thc hospital for adulta and infants combkced of 5434, makiag tle aven- age hospital stay between mace and ten days.

Bowmanvilie although until the f irst of the new year under the super- ivsion and operation 0f the Hydro Eiectric Power Commission of On- tario. The final reading 0f the bylaw came as the climax off two cam- paîgns inwich both defeat and victory f îgured. The town counicil under Mayor M. J. Elliott passed a bylaw in June 1930 calling for a vote but with a smail vote polled the pur- chase was defeated. It was the be- lief of The 'Statesman at that timne that ratepayers had made a mistake in turning downi the bylaw and at every opportunity in the ensuing nionths f acts and figures to show what other muicipalities had done by the purchase of their own plants. The culmination of this silent, but effective campaign resulted in the 19)31 council agan deciding to put the matter to a vote off the people on October 31st. and carried the by- law by a handsome majority. The 1930 campaign lacked any definite move on the part o! the counicil to acquaint the citizens with the real ffacts but a strenuous effort to put the truth beffore the people this year was made, with the nat- ural and consequent resuit that the oylaw passea i wth little opposition. Now that it has become law, the next thing for the citizens ta con- sider is the men whom. they wiU place on the Hydro Commission te supervise its future. This matter should and no doubt wiil be given carefful study and when the time cornes men of the right calibre will be available to do this work. The election in January will be o! unusual interest, with Mayor EMlott announcing that he wiill ot run for the Chief Magistrate's chair, a vote on the granting of fixed assessment to the Bowmanville Foundry, and in addition a vote for members -o! the Hydro Commnission. Mr. Roland Bate attended the funeral of the late W. J. Taylor at Dunbarton on Tuesday. Mr. Taylor died on Sunday as the resuit o! be- ing struck by an auto while walking on the highway Saturday evenlng.
