We spent $400 to find out that the Fenelon power is not a success and even then some of our citizens are taking the risk of developing it. I have faith in this Burleigh scheme. It is big enough to wait for. Great progress has been made, and we must know that in a scheme like this money and time are everything. The thing must be built up on good founda- tions before you can begin putting in poles. Mr. Culverwell has been doing this and I believe he will succeed.

A DEPUTATION. On motion Messrs. McLaughlin and Cul- verwell, who had arrived, were allowed to address the council. Mr. McLaughlin arose and produced an immense document, formidable in seals and ribbons. From this he read concern- ing the Burleigh Power Company in words of such rotundity and Latinity that the aldermen felt constrained to grant any request. The meaning of it all was that this company, through the tireless efforts of Manager Culverwell and Solici- tor McLaughlin, had obtained, a day or two before. its charter from the govern- ment; influential additions to the director- ate included the name of Hon. Peter McLaren. and it was asked that council extend the time for filling the town con- tract for three months. Mr. McLaughlinâ€"“Tim regard to the oflices being at; Peterboro, it is simply because than town is central to Burleign and Lindsay.

Two or three hydrants were frozen and altogether the fire had thintzs its own way, but for the heavy snow that acted asa blanket on the outside and as it melted put a damper on the flames. But for that there is no telling where the fire would have ended. The weather was bitterly cold and the flremen’s task was not a pleasant one. Mr. B. F.
