The con-table’s work this year is not likely to be no re- The duties of the town con- stable are many, and a full enu- meration as set forth in the by-l-aW aDpointing him, makes one dizzy to listen to the recital. It seems to us that the .man who does everything specified, and does everything well, is holding a position lar removed from a sine- Oure. Mr. Arrowsmith did a lOt of general work last year, at least we thought so, but i! he did all the work laid down in that list, in addition to the innumerable et ('eteras, falling to the lot of a constable generally. part 0! his have to be paid according to for- mer rates. the saving amounts to $34,093,96, and the surplus to the city for the year’s revenue is $9,- 403.76 after deducting expenses and depreciation. Owing to the par- ticularly good showing the do- mestic lighting rates have been reduced about 25 per cent. The average rate for 1915 was 2.8c. per k.w.h. while the rate under the old su-sfem was lie. The lighting bills to Durham users of Hydro have not yet been‘ sent out, but to some who know the amount of current used, and the cost per k.w.h. the cost will be satisfactory. We might say that to users having only three or four lights the cost may be in favor of the flat rate system at the former prices charged. 0n the other hand, consumers having eight or ten or mere lights the hydro will be to their advantage. In the case of users of only afew lights the floor space charge will hell» to swell the cost under the ”\(iI‘O system. The floor space is a fixed charge Whether the user decides on one light or a dozen. The more current used the chi-.Wcr it will become on the unit basis of charge, and the. grtater will be the revenue to the town. Our Opinion is, and has always has been, that the introduction of hy- dro with a judicious use of the current, will be a benefit, not on- lx to the people as a whole, but In the town generally. Later when the costs are generally learned we shall be able to insti- tute further comparisons, and give better and more definite informa- tion regarding hydro and its costs. THE DUTIES OF THE CONSTABLE The introduction of Hydro has been a paying investment in St. Thomas. and a statement just issued for the past year shows a very large gain between the hy- dro costs and the costs of the former system. Taking into con- sideration the amount used in the past year at the price paid Hydro and the price that would former system. sideration the the past year Hydro and the A ahort time ago we sent in a package of razors to Toronto, and Itated the same week we ‘would discontinue the collection. Since then we have received a letter from Mr. Thomaa Lee, 0! Toronto, and find that razors and more ra- zors are needed yet. The urgency of the case impela us to re-open our request, and again ask that further contributions be made. We have already collected and sent one bundred,and thirty-six, and hope to be able to collect many more. We would like every one who has an old razor. a discarded razor, or a razor 0! any kind he doesn’t rim-:3 to bring or send it to this office at his earliest convenience.

He Was subsequently arrested and will have to stand his trial. “If.con- \‘icted,” the report says, “the ex- treme penalty is ayear in the :;ounty jail, or a fine of $500, or both. The account goes to show that he left behind a well respected fam- ily of four children and an invalid wife, and took with him “a girl wife and her little son two and a half years old. Mr. Cameron was a resident of Normanby, near Var- ney, and left there some eight or nine years ago. Mrs. Cameron was a Miss Wilder.

Moreover, if we refuse to sell ammunition to others. we cannot expect to buy it when our own turn comes. If we should succeed in establishing any such principle of international law. every nation would have to increase its means of imanufaeturing guns and ammu- nition until it was equal to turning out at any moment all the material it might ever need.
