Pale l Some of the alderman are, in fact, strongly in favor of an investigation. not only of this point, but of all the high voltage sgstems which have been installed in the city. Since the accident happened and peole haw had time to consider car ully the circumstances, it is acknowledged that the public"‘did not. at the time. fully appreciate the‘ dangers. It will be‘ remembered that the day on, which the horses; were killed was damp and the ground and sidewalks were. covered “ith slush and snow. The majority of peo- ple were wearing rubberé and it is now stated that it _was this {act alone which prevented several, persons_ being either" killed or ser- iously injured. The Review understand» that the matter of paying for Mr. Gibbs' loss has ‘bpen practically settled and there- fore there is no excuse for further delay in having the danger at the corner of McDonnel and George sweets removed.

First along, the parties in- terested refrained from touching the pole or. wims.‘ fearing the responsibil- ity of the dangerous condition of that corner, and. of the accident might be thrown upon them. For a‘ short time that kind of diplomacv was allowed to pass, but now there is a growing tendency among the al- dermen that it is up to the city council to instigate an investigation to ascertain who was responsifnle for the accident and make that party or parties remove all danger. uvâ€"wâ€" gun “)2. use “of Dr. 'Williams’ Pink Pills. sud these Myg {uily téstoned ca9d at once to the stricken '9ity as a mpmsen'mtivevot the National Gov- ernment.
