At last night's meeting of the city council, it was decided to terminate the street lighting contract with the Light, Heat & Power company on that date. If a settlement is not arrived at (and at present the chances are idedly small), the city may not get the plant for a month or perhaps three months, if an action for Specific performance is entered inst the compawy, On behalf of the fire and light com- Pmittee, Ald. Toye presented the fol- lowing report to council last night : "That the street lighting contract with the Kingston Light, Heat & Power company is at an end, and that they cannot recommend that the lighting of the streets by the com. pany be continued beyond July 1st next, and that the city solicitor be instructed to notify the company to that effect." be The only question upon the report was rai by Ald. King who asked if the city was legally entitled ts ter minate the contract, City Solicitor McIntyre replied in: the aflirmative, and the adontion of the report was carried unanimously without further discussion, -- How the Matter Stands. City Solicitor Mclatyre wrote a lot- ter to the council last night explain- ing how the lighting plant question stood. Part of it was as follows : "Only one proceeding was open to the city to secure the frecing of the lands from the encumbrance, and that a proceeding under chap. 119, sces., 15 and 16 R.5.0.,-1897. The weakness of our position in proceeding under this act was that the act left jt entirely discretionary with the court. to grant the reli«f asked-=the act reading 'the court may if it thinks fit' grant an order, ete. Although 1 could not ap- ply to the court as a matter of right for this relief. 1 thought the advant- age to the city of getting the works free from encumbrances so great as to warrant the risk of failure, os. pecially as failure in that application would in no way affect our general rights under the agreement. The coun- cil i: already aware that after two postponements the application of the city was dismissed with costs, The costs will not amount to much as the application was to a judge in cham- PTS. "The city is now face to the situation that the taken over subject to encumbrance maturing in 1917, and in the mean- time bearing interest at five per cent. per annum. As the city "can borrow money at four per cent., and has ar- ranged to do this under the by-law passed,a question is thus raised re. quiring adjustment between the com- Pany and city, namely, who shall bear the excess of interest, "The matter is still further compli- cated by the fact that as required by the agreement the city hag passed a by-law to 'raise the whole purchase money. Under the law, the whole of the debentures must he jssued within two years from March 25th last, the date of the passing of the by-law.
