Alderman Carson handed out a startling piece. of information to .J. A. Culverwell when. he * was addressing he Su Some] last night as to the s ing of power by the Northum- hettantd Burhan, power company, of Cobourg. He told Mr. Culverwell that other. parties claimed to have secured or were going to secure from the gov- ernment the rights to part of the Trent River power. . Mr. Culverwell was astonished at the information, and said he did not he lieve it. "But I know," declared Mr. Carson. "I've heen _in Ottawa and and know that other parties are Jook- ing after these rights." Mr. Culver well said that if those parties had announced that they -- had u certain control, his company would make it warm fot. them. . The discussion "arose ont of a'nues- tion put by Ald. Carson as to wheth- er the Northumberland-Durham ecom- pany had secured the rights. Mr. Cul- verwell stated tnat the Dominion gov- ernment had not given them all over as vet, hut his comvanv expected to have complete control shortly, and would then have 33,000 horse-power to distribute, - Mr. Culverwell. called at the Whig office, this morning, and stated that the statement of Ald. (ars-n had re- ference to something that hed oceur- red in 1902. when an endeavor was made by other partics to coqnire cer tain power from the Trent, but the attempt failed, because his company was "in the way." MARKET TOLLS. The Collections For the Past Six Months. For the six months' from August 1st to February lst, the city collected in tolls 'and weighing fees, from Market No. 1, the sum of $437.41.- When the year is up, the loll collection from this market should reach $1000. The tender for toll collections on market No.12 is 8500, so that the total mar- ket collectiors gould be $1,500. The full tender for the year 1905 to 1906 was $1,451 =o that it is pretiy 'clear that there is little or nothing in toll contracts for tenderers at the above figure. The collections, by months, to August, $69.19: § r $08.40: October, $71.13: November, $97.34; December, 2101.33; January, $43.25; to date in February, $50.60. It is diffenlt to compare the fees now collected by the rity with those collected ten" vears ago, because the charges have been reduced since the latter time. However, when the mar- ket clerk collected the tolls from 1804 to 1897, the collections for the first six' months of those years were ns follows : 1804, 81.240; 1805, 81.218: 1896, 21.025. These are large a8 compared to the 7.41 collected -during the' pust 'six months. . ------ Phone girls have mang ills, For which they take some nasty pills; Wa healthy and happy girl you'd be, Rmg up for Rocky Mountain Tea.
