They explained that the Company could] not afford to pay the price asked by | the manufacturers, and that the ma-| king of the proposed ten-year agree- | nent, whereby the Company was to} instal the generators and benefit in| any saving in power cost when the city secured hydro energy, should be! deferred, and in the meantime the Commission should contnue to give! the cars power at 1.20 cents a kilo-| wati-hour, and' that the agreement] should be signed when the Company | signified its desire to have the gen-| eratorg installed, which might be] fully two years hence. | The Commission agreed to do this, | being anxious to aid the Company in every way, knowing that it had no easy road to travel. The Company | will therefore continue to receive | power at 1.20 and the agreement will | date from the time the generators! are installed, i Lighting The Camp. | General Manager Folger reported that he had a conference with Major C. J. Burritt, District Engineer, who | asked that the city go ahead and pro-| 'vide for the lighting of the 'Barrie- field Camp. Power for water sup- | ply was also wanted, | The Commission instructed the! manager to prepare a statement of | the cost of the materials required and submit it to the Civi¢ Finance | Committee and' when it was ratified | to proceed and purchase the mater-| { ials, it being understood that the] Camp Engineering Corps is to make the installation. | Mayor Richardson said that the! City Council had been waiting for | definite word from Major Burritt as | to what he wanted, and any delay that had ensued was not to be placed | {on the shoulders of the city. The | | Distriet Engineer had told him he was very busy and that he could not complete the lighting arrangements any sooner. 'The Mayor intimated | that as soon as Manager Folger pre-| pared his estimate, the Finance Com- mittee would see that the necessary | funds were provided for the pur chase so that the work of installa- tion could be proceeded with with-| out delay. { Campbell Power. | City Council to submit to the vote of {| the people the Campbell power by-| {law. It does not want to do any | dickering with the Hydro-Electric | Commission en the matter, prefer- ring that the people should give their] | sanction to a measure that will give| | the city an additional supply of pow- | er from the Kingston Mills water] | falls, It is desirous that the local] | plant get this auxiliary supply soon, | and the manager was instructed to | arrange for the purchase of the ne-| cessary transforming machinery 80 | that the power could.be secured at| the earliest possible date Safter the| people have passed upon the by-law. | The submitting of the by-law is, re-| garded as a mere formality, for the! people will vote for a measure that is going to he of immense benefit to the electrical plant. Mr. Folger stated that by making an agreement with" the Locomotive Works for power supply, the plant] had made a profit of $500 in the first | month. That was at the rate of $6,- 000 a year, and he was desirous of | strengthening the plant's power of | production. The cost of production was now down to 1.26 a kilo-watt hour, as against 1.44 a year ago. Pipe has advanced about twenty- five per cent. in price since last year, according to tenders received. The contract for the year's supply was awarded to the Gartshoré:Thompson Company of Hamilton, whose tender Was not the lowest, but which has the reputation of supplying first-class material and giving prompt delivery. ' Owing to big fluctuations in the water bills of the House of Provi- dente, the Commission decided to strike a mean in the meter reading. The chairman and the , manager were authorized to place $10,000 in- surance on the boilers of the plant.

University avenue residents| have another grievance and if they were not patient and longsuffering | there would be something doing. | Excavations are being made by | the Utilities Commission. There is a good wide street on which there is little trafic upon which the loose earth could be placed. Instead of doing it that way, the earth is piled ! several feet high on the walk with only a narrow path left for traffic. When wet there is a mass of mud tracked into the houses. But worse still, the fine lawns which have been carefully nursed for years are be- ing ruined by piles of earth and rock. | The two men and the water boy on the job will be at it all summer, by the rate the work is progressing. | The lawns will be spoiled, carpets and floors ruined, the good wives too angry tg keep house while the free and independent elector whose vote is so important about election time | will lose the last bit of his religion | in *'blessing" the powers-thatsbe, in! having to grin and bear it.
