STILL IN ENGLAND, ree st ed +4 | |® WHY WE SHOULD RETAIN THE UTILITIES COMMISSION ------------------p---- rhe Aad Not Go Back To City Council Government. COMMISSION 1S SAFER AND IS COMPOSED OF MEN PEOULIAR FITNESS OF The Movers In the Proposal To Do Away With the Commission Do Not Offer Any Plausible Reasons to the Ratepayers. 'When Whig representatives set out last Friday to secure the views of the Mayor and members of the City Council as to why the Utilities Commission should be abolished, they met with very little « success. The men who put through a by-law to be submitted to the people asking them if they were in favor of retain- ing the Commission to direct the Public Utilities were not inclined to express their views. The ratepay- ers, in their opinion, should be left alone to decide the question thrust upon them. On Monday, a Whig representative had a talk with a prominent citizen (not a member of the Commission) who expressed his. amazement 'that the Mayor had nothing to offer in the way of argument as to why the people should vote out the Com: mission and put the management of the Utilities back under the City Council. He held that those who sought to oust the Commission should give gocd reasons why that body should not be retained. The Mayor and other mem- bers of the City Couneil had initiated the by-law to dis- had proved themseives splendidly able to conduct the affairs of the water, gas and electrical plants, and it was up to them, he declared, to show cause for dissatisfaction." His suggestion was that: the Mayor and the Chairman of the Utilities Com- mission, T. J. Rigney, should be in- vited to address a public meeting of the citizen the City Hall this week. The Mayor would then have a chance to tell the people why the Commission should be done away with, and Mr. Rigney would have | a like chance to show what the Commission' had done and why it should be retained. . From what the Whig can learn, it would seem that the decision of the Mayor and aldermen to get rid of thé Commission was arrived at af- ter the latter had decided that it] could not buy a site for the city's garbage incinerator, being advised that it was not within its powers to do this by City Solicitor Givens. One | of the chief arguments used against the Commission is that Mayor Suth- erland desired the Commission to divert out of the revenues of Utili- ties money to buy 'a site, but the Commission took the ground that it could not saddle the users of the Utilities for the entire cost of the incinerator. The purchase and op- eration of the incinerator was not justified by thePublic Utilities Act, and the whole proposal was pro- nounced illegal by the City Solicit: or. "I will vote to retain the Commis- sion," "sald one ratepayer who -has been watching the trend of things. "You will never get efficiency if you hand the management of the gas, electric and water departments back to the City Council. The men on Utilities are experts, and are con- ducting the affairs of those plants in the interests of the people. You cannot lobby with the five men who are doing the Utilities business in Kingston. People who'have pull, stand no more chance of getting their special requests granted than a small consumer. A City Council committee can be pulled ten times easier than our Commission, which transacts business on .its merits -- giving equal rights to all and special favors to none. My advice to the people is to vote to hold on to the Commission government of the Utilities. If they are wise they will refuse to give the City Council charge of the three departments again" . It is the intention of the Whig this week to enlighten the people on the Utilities Convmission question. It will present some information that will aid them materially in decid- ing whether the Commission should be refained. - WHEN HOT DAYS COME Lime Fruit Juice.
