Friday, December 30, 1910 ' The Wisdom of Winnipeg. The vote on the power franchise in Lindsay, asked for by The Electric Power Co., has been postponed for three months, pending investigations of the proposals of the Ontario Hydro Electric Commission. In connection with this matter the following from an exchange regarding the recent ac- tion of Winnipeg is of interest : “The city of Winnipeg, Man, has just completed a 60,000 h. p. water power plant to produce electricity for heat, light and power. Instead of per- and _.use ,it.,to. build up fortunes for themselves and their heirs at the com- mon expense, the people there did this . .for themselves, and allfuture genera- tions there will have these essentials to modern life at their actual‘cost. When the city desires to induce inâ€" dustries, she is in a position to offer them heat, light and power for almost no cost to herself ; or, if She prefers to develop and sell the products at a profit, she can have her total public expenses of government paid by} the profits ;‘ she can build all kinds of pub- have a cent of tax on her property. This principle isso very simple that it would seem that any child would see through it; but-here, where the peo-' sple have been educated by those who monopolize these natural advantages for the-purpose of building up families of wealth,the common people are as ig- norant of the things they are giving away as if they were illiterate savages. There are in'this country more of what are termed “public utilities ”, owned by the few and used to exploit the ' many, thari’would run the whole na- tional, county, city, school and good , roads expenses of the nation and have )1 . no form of taxation whatever Dr. Gould Resignsâ€"Dr. Simsis Reeve. FIVE IN FIELD FOR COUNCIL. Dr. Gould, Who has occupier] the position ofreeve of Fenelon Falls for two years, has resigned in favor of Dr. Sims, who was also nominated on 'Monday last. Dr. Sims is, therefore, reeve for 1911 by acclamation. The nominations for council were Messrs. JyH. Stanton, AlfredTeirs, Thomas ‘Cashore, Sam. Corbett, John Shane, M. \V. Brandon. Foster Kelly, Lewis Deyman, John S."Northey_and Robert Martin. Of these," Messrs. Cashore, Corbett, Shane, Stantbn and Teirs have qualified, and the electors will choose between them on Monday. I._The School board remains as it was la-St year, Messrs. John H. Brandon, T. Poulsom and A. McFarland, new men who were nominated, having re- signed. ' h ' Messrs. George Martin and William McArthur were nominated for the of- fice of Light, Heat 6; Power Commis- sioner. Mr. Martin resigned, and the commissioners will be the same as last year, with the exception of the‘reeve. At the nomination meeting last Mon- day, Dr. Gould briefly Outlined the work of the council for the year, and also touched upon county matters. He said he had acted to the best of his ability and judgment, and tried to deal fairly in all matters that came up for consider- ation while he was in office. Dr. Sims asked for information regard- ing various matters, and criticised last year‘s council for loweringrthe rate oi assessment instead of raising it, as he claims should have been done. Mr. Wm. McArthur spoke briefly re- garding L. H. & P. aifairs, and mentioned the accident to the rrill, which had been. repaired in a first-class manner by Mr- F. Northey, the total cost being about $375. Notwithstanding this unexpected expenditure, L. H. & P.‘ matters are in a satisfactory condition. Dr. Mason, who has been up and out for some time since his accident on the 2lst of October last, made a few re- .marks concerning the schools, stating that the last year had been the best yet. Teachers are hard to secure. The board had advertised for a‘teacher at $400 a year, and did not get one answer. An of- fer of $450 brought three or four replies. in the past year five teachers had been engaged who did not come. Mr. W. T. Junkin pointed out that, ten or twelve years ago, 8225 was paid-to teachers of the class that now receive $45 ; and $500 to $550 to teachers now he improvements and schools, and getting $1.000. This explained the in- crease in expenditure. Messrs. S. Corbett and A. Teirs also spoke briefly. The other nominees were absent. Reeve Jordan of Lindsay, who was present at the meeting, was called on. He complimented Dr. Gould highly on his record in the county council. Dr. Mason had also done good work. Mr. Jordan gave a short sketch of some of the matters which came before the abunty council, and justified their action in a few instances where criticism had been heard. He also touched on the electric power question, now engaging the attention of Lindsay, as being of interest to the people of Fenelon Falls. In Fenelon township, Duncan Tolmie is reeve, Mr. Palmer having resigned. Mr. John Lee takes Mr. Tolmie’s place in the council. Somervilleâ€"For Reeve, R. A. Callan, Dr. Frost. For council, Thos. Byrne, S. R. Carew, Wm. Hoskins, Robt. Hender- son, Jobn McFarlane, John.Wilson. , In Verulam Messrs. Teirs and Devitt are contesting the reeveship. same as last year. R. M.
