Toye is Strong Supporter of By-law, R. H. Toye, a member of the supporter of the Campbell power by- law. In conversation with the Whig on Friday he stated that he failed to see why anyone should vote against the by-law, more especially when it was not costing the people a dollar.

In conclusion, Mr. Toye declared that he considered the Campbell Company power would be a great benefit to the city. » Engagement Announced. Mrs. F. M.
