IlBut the Toronto gentl-enlcn sat pat- jiently from 8 to 9 while their local manager hustled about town in quest of the missing legislators. So- licitor Hopkins was present : Mayor IS‘ootheran revealed unique powers of Inegotiation. Of few words, andcon- ciliatory, he skilfully directed the ‘confel'cnce to an amicable and quite reasonable conclusion. night when the meeting rose. “We are anxious to please this town and do a good domestic light- ing business, and we Want the counâ€" cil’s co-operation as far as may be.” These were the words of Mr. Dum- st'an at the close of the conference, and Mayor Sootheran’s reply was just as happy : “I am sure the way: you have conducted your negotia- tions here to-night will tend to the results you seek.” Thus ended one of the most interesting cand impor- tant meetings ever held in the town. But to the matter. . Inspector Stevens was present early in the session ”and looked over 'Dr. .Ellis’ report with Mr; Burgess. The reports practically agreed. MrgBur- gess had a letter from Dr. Ellis re plying to his (,kestion as to whether the lamps here gave a light 'vto'the 150-candle-power lamps used in Toronto. elated that he could not say without further invertigalnon. Council could not consider the lightprcduced under. a reflector as ‘ fulfilling the contract whereat Mr. Burgess said : i‘i‘To give an actual 150-candlebpow- er flame for the price you pay is a commercial impossibility. ’ ' 'Mr. Dunstan said the contract cal- led not for a flame but a. lamp of râ€"that is a lamp so ’ e out . a .

McLaugh- lin on the operation of getting legis- lation had bull got by lllc l'OLll‘Cl and was read at council. It said that the town might build the li- brary and let the board comml it. but that an injunrtion might be not against that course. Legislation would overcome that danger. but ll».- fore asking for it, it should he agreed whether the park site should he llfil’d or not.

The whole $2000 cannot. be collected, and council could not be 'ustified in giving anything to it.
