Commissioner Chown objected to this allocition taking the view that the whole cost should be "white way" 'was ordered by the City Counci! as a street improvement and the electrical consumers shonld not be taxed for it. Manager Folger held otherwise, All the wires on Princess streét had been put under ground and the plant in general received a certain amount of benefit. The 'white way" copld have provided at a 'cost of $30,- 000 by feeding the buildings along the route from the rear. It was thought best however to put all the wires underground. The Commission agreed that the whole cost should be charged against street lighting. This will increase the cost of the lighting, which the City Council aims to keep down. f A letter was received from A. B. Cunningham stating that the Sey- mour Power Company hopéd to be able to reply to the Commission's letter ngueerning the proposed power agreement sometime this week. Manager Folger submitted a draft of the new agreement between the Commission and the Street Railway Company which was ratified.
