To he sure the proposition is not quite the same. The water Fsupply daes not involve the diversity of plants, of equipment, of technical supervision and attendance, but granted that the ennditions are favor- ahle, that the machinery is «qual tc the demands of the hour, there ought to be money in the business and there is. Why was the company so anxious Se "| to hold the property ? Because it was highly remunerative. A glance at the financial statement of the * street railway corporation makes this very apparent. The gas and electric plants had been leased upon acceptable terms. The ' share- holders were guaranteed a certain in- terest upon their investment, and the street railway company took all they earned over and above that charge, The net earnings, from 1897 to 1903 inclusive, are. set down at $43,867.23, Here is an average of $6,238.17 per year, without a prospect of extending the service so as to meet the wants of the growing constituency. The people may be too impatient for results. A' chunge of ownership or persons expect them to do, and the only funds available so far have been the eamings. As soon there was a forecast which seemed to be necessary. It call- vd for an expenditure of $150,000, and {council would mot the property owners . bglked, though |and one speech in particular .

In the earnings of the gas and electric departments during the 'first quarter of this year there has been an increase in the gross carnings of $1,- 719.20, and in. the net of $1,390.46, There are now on file applications for gas from one hundred persons, and it is estimated that if the mains are ex- tended there will be one hundred more, At 810 each, for 200, this means an increase this year in revenue of $2,000, and with an addition of as large an amount in all probability next year. Por electric light there will likely be seventy-five new consumers this year, $16 cach here is an elevation in the revenue-to the extent of $1,200 per annum. This new budget of gas and electricity will guarantee 4 sub- stantial contribution to the revenue, and appropriating thirty per cent, in one case and twenty-three per cent, in the other, the amount in two years available for debenture debt and in- terest will be $1,728, There is another way of getting at the profit. The record for the first quarter of 1906 is complete as to ths carnings, expenses, and profit and loss, The balance to the good id the gas department' is $3,567.20, and in the electrical « department, $4,485.21, or over and above all liabilities, in both departments, $3,861.20.

This would mean on the local outlay 815,000, and "it seems altogether too high. The sum the Whig suggests is a conservative and reasonable one. The budget given above, hear in mind, is on the basis of the revenue and ex- penditure of 1905. Tt has been shows that the gross increase in 4 three months was 81,719.20. The winter and spring quarters 'are the most profita- ble, and allowing for that fact, and allowing for a drop in the congump- tion of light during the summer and fall, the gain for the year will be 85,000. Then, if the service be extend- ed, the new consumers will add at least $3,000 more, This accounts for the $8,000 increase in our estimate of revenue in 1906. ' There is more than the gain in re- venue to be reckoned upon, The new machinery is expected to produce great economies which are thus defined: Power House Savings : Oil, Grease and Waste 52.00 Repairs to Dynamos 200).00 Repairs to' Shafting 200.00 Repairs to Beltin, 86.84 Poel Lan 600.00 Rental of Dynam 180.00 Total ......, pusackis ~arrnae., $1,418.84 Gas Works : Fuel ...... : 8 870.74 Petroleum viene, 324.52 Labor (tw . $1,022.25 Total Gans . $1,717.51 .. $3,186.35 These, by the way, are the savings Ald. Elliott desired and which he al- leges he did not receive. The motion which appointed Mr. Ross as referee asked him to report in detail upon the cost of the changés he proposed and the saving to be effected by them.

This will be accomplished af- ter making due allowances, as the Whig contends, for depreciation to the extent, of $5,000 per annum. There is no mention in the budget of 1906 of any premium on bonds. The debentures will probably hear four per cent, and if they sell at par the city will be fortunate. Money is worth, when invested in municipals, four and one-quarter per cent. The demand for securities must be keen when fours will sell at par, and it is hoped this may be the experience when the light de- partment goes into the market with its honds, In the next article the Whig will sum up the case and' give its conclusions. Wants A High Opinion. The last has not been heard about the autonomy bills or acts. They were those who contended that they were unconstitutional when they were be- fore the federal parliament. There are some who contends this still, and Mr. Haultain, leader of the opposition in the Saskatchewan assembly, is one of them™ ' The Scott government has, there- fore, teken a course which is calculat- ed to bring the discussion to an end. It has endorsed a resolution which calls upon the federal government to refer the question to the judicial com- of the privy council. "The steps to be taken," said Mr. Sutherland, "are not specified, but my opinion is that the proper course will be for the do- minion to ask the imperial governmefit to refer the matter as an appeal would be referred from a lower court, Whatever the result it ought to be ac- cepted by all parties, and should finish the controversy on the sub- ject." { Some of these days the case will come before the federal parliament, and it is presumed that it will not take umbrage, and on the ground that the appeal is based upon any doubt as to the regularity of its precedure. The province of Saskatchewan, through the local house, distinctly declared that it } wae satisfied with the 'constitutional ; ity of the act which gave it form and authority, The provincial elections, and five bye-elections, indicated pretty | clearly that the people accepted the act as it was intended. The minority--the followers of ¥ Ee remedied at once, and the funds must be had with which Mr. |; grumblers. They are talking all the while, but they are not moving in the matter. Eventually, without their mo- tion, the highest legal court in the will hand out its opinion, and it is hoped this will be a settler. North Reufrew Vacancy. Thomas Murray, ex-M.P. is willing to.run as a candidate for the repre- sentation of North Renfrew, made vacant by the recent death.' of Hon. Peter White. The aspirant is not a young man, but he is still vigorous, and is willing to serve the people if they want him. Judging by an address which h» made in the town of Pembroke he is an independent libgral. He certainly was unsparing in ik disapproval of the increased indemnity, the pension- ing of ministers, and the appointing of members of the senate by the gov- ernment. The present allowance of members he recards as sufficient, the ex-ministers have no claim upon the bounty of the people, and the sena- tors, he thinks, should be elected. Though independent, in at least so far as these things are concerned, he is a liberal, however, and will not seek a seat in parliament unless he is the nominee of the liberal convention. That means * that he will be sure to have opposition from some one. Mr. Murray says both parties owe him something. What is it? In these davg of plain speaking enigmas are not in order.

The Whig asked the question. Iv was told that once the statement was made that the gas at the holder cost 40c. per thousand feet, but .it costs a great deal more when it pass- es into the mains.
