POSSIBLE NEW DEAL FOR STREET LIGHTS J. M. Campbell to Make Pro= position to Gananoque Council. Gananoque Reporter J. M. Campbell,. Kingston, owner of the Gananoque Electric Light works, was present at the meeting of council, when Mayor Wilson explain- ed to him that it had been proposed to cut off some of the street lights or adopt some other measure to re- duce the expenditure in this depart- ment, without curtailing too much the efficiency. It might be possible under the circumstances, that the company would accept a lower rate for the balance of the term of exist- ing contract, or by making a new contract. He asked Mr. Campbell to think the matter over and make some save money. In reply Mr. Campbell said that as the cost of operating and other ex- penses had advanced fifty per cent. rates should have been advanced, but they had remained the same. He had supplied an abundance of power to Gananoque, and his assurance to the Steel Co. of Canada that they could have all the power they required at a lower rate than elsewhere was in- strumental in having one of the plants remain in 'Gananoque.
