SEPTEMBER 14th 34-4- .â€"Being east half IOO ames, 70 clear. premises, lot to, The only risk the‘ town runs‘ is that in case the company failed, you. might have the works thrown; on your hands at $70,000. It could not be more as the first mortgage bonds cOVer all the company’s works, real and personal property of all kinds, and there could be no interest in addition, as the town rental accrues from! day to (lay. and would be pledged to‘ pay the interest, so there never could be any, interest in arrears. But there is really‘ no danger of the worlm' falling into the hands of the town; as the company "is perfectly solvent .and in a flourish- ing financial condition. and. the works are worth over $100,000, both from the Thos. Walters, Esq., Mayor of Lindsay. Dear Sir,â€" I understand the Fire Underwrit- ers’ Association require the town to put in a second pipe crossing the riVer and three new hydrants, one at the corner of Mill and Melbourne-eta, one at the corner, of Albert and “Telling- ton-sts., andlone at the pump house, and that the town are committed to provide one hydrant to Messrs. Rider Kitchener, one to‘ R. M. Bgeal’s tan- nery, and two to the Rathbun Cor A hydrant is also required near the cm. ner of Durham and Albert-sts., mak- ing eight hydrants which the town re- quire in the immediate future. The length of pipe required for this work calls for ten hydrants, according; to the town contract, which means an addition of $400 a year to the town hydrant rental. The company Offer ’to do this work, which will cost over $5,0UU, and furnish these extra hyd- rants free of charge, and make a re- duction of $100, on the present hyd- {rant rental, making a total saying of $500 a year to the town, providing the town will guarantee the first mort- gage bonds of the company for $70,- 000, at 3 1-2 per cent., payable in 20 years. if any of the hydrants above mentioned are not required 'by the town, the company will make a Cash reduction of $40 a year for each hyd- rant not required. . . __ If the town accepts this‘ offer It would be necessary to pass a byâ€"law with the assent of the ratepayers. This would not increase the town’s: deben- ture or bonded debt, nor would it in- crease the taxes in. any way, but, on the contrary, the taxes will be reduc- ed $500 a year.

But there is llDl chance of it, as from the above statement. of facts one can easily see that the company is not in difficulties, or hard up, but, on the contrary, in the most- fl0urishing; con- diticn. It, mny be asked why the company make such 9n» offer? Simply because they intend making a. change in their bonds, and by having the town’s guarantee can obtain the in- terest at a lower rate and save that much. The company now pay the iCanadn.

The Canada Life offered us money at 4 1-2 per cent. if we would make the loan permanent, Irbut we declined and w'ould make no permanent arrangement until we had given the town an opportunity. \Vith the town’s guarantee we can float the bondlq at. 3 133' per cent. The ‘differ- ence between 3 1-1? per cent. is $700 a year» We are offering the town $500 of this, which T th‘nklis fair, as we would be at conciclerable expense, in issuing- new bonds. etc... and tak- ing the risk of selling: our 31--2' per cent. bonds at pnr. whereas we can get it at: 41â€"2 without a cent of, exâ€" pense. and may be able to do it at 4 per cent. “7e have not tried to place the loan elsewhere, as we decided to give the town‘ the first ‘_chance. .7 If they do not want: it, well and good.

A train heavily laden with lumber and cordwood was on its way down when a coupling parted and a number of the rear cars were lost. On discOvering this the crew stop- ped the train. It came to a‘halt on a trestle 70 feet high. In a few seconds the detached cars‘ bore down upon it at a high rate of speed. Their momentum forced the train across the trestle and put nine cars off the track on a fifty-foot embankment down which half a dozen Of them plunged. Brakeman Tait was on the rear end of the main train when the crash came and was instantly killed. One arm was cut off but the body was not otherwise mangled. The dead man lived in Lindsay last summer and was known to :manv here. He leaves a family. An auxiliary left town at one o'clock in the morning and reached the wreck in the surprising time of one- imur and ten minutes. Already two wrecking trains and 75 men had reached the spot.
