Published Every CIRZL‘LATION. ' A subject of great, interest and im- portance was opened by Judge Dean’s recent letter on the peril to.Lin_dâ€" say’s northern trade. Briefly sta- ted, the judge's propbsition is that by an electric railway through Bob- caygeon to Minden, the town of PtL ter’boro will capture the trade of the region to the north of Lindsay ; that because it has no natural power to attract new industries. Lindsay is largely dependent on the trade of the territory that Peterboro is to tap; and that with that trade gone and no new industries to take its place, Lindsay must dwindle into obliV'iOn, while the successful rival who has “-â€"‘ ” a - pose a. death-knell. He writes like a man with a purpose and that pur- pose is not to {orecast calamity but to proclaim a means of escape. That means is the Lindsay, Bobcaygeon and Pontprol railway. With that line connecting this town and Bobâ€" caygt-on. the judge believes our north rmmtrv would be safe from Peter- caV geon. the Juuge wuc cvw uu ..v. .. countrv would be safe from Peter- boro’ s invasion. The judge points out a. possibility that it. would be unfortunate and slow-witted for the people of this town to overlook. It has never been so thoroughly outlined before, and by bringing it, to the public at- tention in such a dramatic fashion the judge has certainly done the Pub- BY REFUSTNG to let Commis- si'oner Chalmers select the inspector of granolithic walks, aldermen were grossly discoqrteous to their em- ploye. He is the, man who-ahauld appoint the inspeétor.“ The remarks .«that Aldermen McDi-armfid and Bur- rows addressed to the commissioner during Monday night's meeting were unworthy of those gentlemen. Su- periority that‘vrests on we position is apt to be little more than arro- gance Council are not bound to retain Commis'sioner Channel's but while 'flhey do" retain him they are bound to accord him courteous treat, ment. The mayor knew his duty when he rebuked the ofien‘sivmeas of alderman toward the commissioner. We dou'Bt’ very much if wvnffirs form a. duty that so dearfy Below to the com; M, lic a good service. In so far as his letter tends to rouse the people of Lindsay 'L‘o do “hat can be done for their town. we shall gladly reinforce Lest. however, under me Juugca vivid presentation of impending Woes .ny citizen should he moved to cast amty his confidence, and the faith that is in him, we venture to point out that at Penelon Falls there is no mean power, already harnessed to this town and ‘hat Burleigh power is c 11ite as a11i1able for us as for Peterboro. V1. ith modem means of transmitting electric energy, the cataracts of a continent are. being brought nigh. The difficulties of COUNCIL SHOULD try to amic~ ably adjust the difiiculty with MwSrs. Robson and Baal. If the town. soâ€" licitor and those of the tanners can; not agree on what the contract means. let it be submitted to a board of two or three disinterested legal men. There must be no law suit or seizure of goods. Moreover. Peterboro's electric railâ€" way across the north country has its difficulties. Until Bobcaygeon is reached it will do us little harm. Beyond that it soon will encounter Lindsay’s northern railway service. When winter began to lay its rigid injunctions upon the operations of that electric road. and when the mo- tor car but struggled up the icy hill to plunge into fathomless snows in the (hilt. it is more than likely that the trafi’ic '1 on (1 so fall of? as to disâ€" courage ex en the onceva-weel; trip to which the service would he reduced by th; wiremies of the route.
