When Lindsay was a town little over half of its present size, it had the courage to under. take very large financial obligations éâ€"to help build the Midland Railway, to secure the Victoria Railway and the Whitby and Port Perry. The bur- dens undertaken were enormous, and our taxes have since been heavy but though the cost was great, we would not be without those roads for many times the money.

Let us wake up There is no reason why we should be out of the game altogetherâ€"there is no reason why we should not be in the front rank. Peterboro is 11 [ 1y to buy Burlefgh. They can, withodt a ' doubt, buy and develop Burleig-h and deliver the power to Peterboro ready :6:- distribution. at $10.00 a horse 4 power or less. This would give them a tremendous advantage. It might not be too late for Lindsay to buy Burleigh. To deliver power from that pblnt to Lindsay would not cost more th seventy-five cents per horse pow- {tances appear large. they are not, however, serious. I am satisfied from careful enquiries, that we could de- velop power in our north country and sell it to manufacturers of this town at from ten to fifteen dollars a horse power, or about one-half what the towns and cities in western Ontario would be able to give Nia- gara power to manufacturers for, un- l!
