Town Reverses Recent Action On Peddler's Licenses-.vLaird Butcher License Is Revoked OPENS CAMPAIGN SPer Annum Is in $2 Per LigLi troactive ian. i o Makes Refund of Over Surplus in Street Lighting 0Will Be Saved by Town charged at so much per light, Per annum according to candie power. The present charges have been. f or 80 watt lamp, $14.00 peri annum; for 150 watt lamp, $20.00 Per annum; for 300 watt lamp. $37.00 Per annum. The new charges will be $12.00, $25.00. and $35.00 per annum in the respec- tive classes. These reductions again bring very forcibly before the public the wisdom of their action a few rears ago in purcbasing the local plant as a public utility. Since that time several adjustments have been made to, rates which, have saved the consumers many hundreds of dollars. Debentures are paid off several years in ad- lance o! requirements, creating ani annual saving in interest charges. It is flot unlikely that as the Commission continues to pay off its debentures, before and as tbey come due. that rates will be con- siderably lower when the local plant is completely paid for. At the same time as the debt on the Plant bas been reduced, and the rates reduced. the Commission bas been building up a valuabie contingency fund which will take care of ahl repaira and replace- nents as tbey are required with- out any need for capital expend- tures that would affect the rates. The reductions announccd by the Commission reflect once ag- ain the very able and efficient nanner in which the local system bas been managed by Mr. Chase. WON'T YOU HELP A WORTHY CAUSE?

Tbaugbts were frequently turned ta the five babies wbo hived samcwhere f ar ujp the road that we were foi- iowing. Our minds were able aiso ta appreciate the fine crops that we saw being barvested on every hand. Ini some areas the grain showed the cvii cf fects o! the heavy staris a! wind and nain and bail wbich have passed that way. From Beaverton north we found that the grain was flot yet ripened. At Beaverton we had a good view o! Lake Simcoe with usz beautiful broad expanse o! clear water. We pasaed through Oril- lia in a beavy touriat traf!ic both ways. The summner reaorts aIl along Lake Couchiching appeared to be quite weIl patronized. There were many places ln moat beau- tiful surroundings. If was bere that the rock began. Much o! the country was nat under cul- tivation. Where !arming was carried on there was very littie stock-raising. Most o! tbe farm- ens wene baying. The bay con- sisted a! fine timothy, rcdtap.

The matter provoked a leng- thy discussion on whlch council was divided. The discussion was again pre- cipitated wben Reeve R. O. Joncs asked Mayor Stnike was if flot right for the Brown fruit license ta be given back if the Laird Il- cense was returned. On motion the matter was reopened for dis- cussion. Caunciliors Little and Masan stuck ta their guns wiih the opinion that having once iss- ued fhe licenses they should. be permitted ta last the stipuiated time. Other members o! couneil believed that if the Laird license was returned, Brown was also en- titied to the return o! bis, and that wouid immediately place the town back whcre it was before the ncw bylaw was enacted. The outcome o! the discussion was that a motion that both lbcenses be rcVoked, and fees refunded in proportion ta the time explred, was passed. Councillors Little and Mason dissented, and Coun- cilior Arthur Hout, wbo dcclared he was "betwecu two fires" dld not cast a vote. Councillor W. A. Shane was absent. A letier was read from. J. D.
