They are so much now in the public mind that the case présénted was not only interesting but waluable, It was in fact a brief for the municipa! committee who are to take up the subject on Thursday morhifigain' connection' with bills: for a municipal fuel trading franchise, asked by Ottawa, Hamifton and Brantford: He gave the substance of an English municipal, commission of investigation, which was not favor- able to municipal operation, .The nub- lic water works concerns had, 'snuc- ceeded, but those for electric lighting Hid not as a rule been prosperous or comforting. Indeed, the tax-payers in nfuny places were appalled at the in- ¢réase gf municipal debt. Thére could bé no questiod as to the propriety of investigation on the iy ies materiaily wfiecting Canadian intefests and Cana- dian' minicipal opinion, that the ver- (dict of the house, of corporations and of the public might be well-informed and fair. Mr. Whitney claimed that the at torney-general had arraved his facts %o as to sustain his general ohijections to municipal ownership, and that, in this view he was at variance with the majority of the people of the provinge though they may not have, as a rile, studied sthe question deeply. The appointing of a committee was pot opposed, since there was no desire to 'stop the progwess of bills, for municipal exploiting presefited this session while a year was spent in searching for es 'and pointers. Mr. Crawford took a view opposite to the attorney-general's as to muni cipal utilities in England, urging that great debts were met largely by valu- able assets, The premier closed the debate by declaring that there was danger in the municipal agitation for utilities and that the wisest thing was to enquire into experiences of other lands. The committee proposition passed. . Another Cataract. lor the evening, oft motion to con- tinue supply, Mr. Beatty Nesbitt re- peated his © speech of the d%her day; charging the government with neglect of public interests in not providing for Tull development of the power of Niagara Falls under provincial exer- tion. Mr. Gress replied, showing that development was - taking place at great cost; the government was now inviting municipalities to follow this up. t was. not true that the gov- erpment - had given away the fran- chises, there was one still left within the park, with several outside the park. which could be leased, to mu- nicipalitics, for whom chyice of privi- leges will be reserved. This was the best of public benefits. Mr. Kribbs re- turned to the charge, calling the pre: urier's bill for municipal depelopment of the power a "fake," but his views as to facts' were corrected by the pre. mier and he sat down better satisfied, and the debate closad at ten o'clock without the expected amendment and divigion. Some of the opposition forces' were absent, Mesers. Pufil and Sutherland charged that the government had wasted ef- fort and means in bringing a wrong glass of immigrants for. farm labor- erd, to the disappointment of the ag- ricultural community. Only now was a better attempt being made. Mr. Davis replied, fort and growing success of emigra- tion officers in London.
