At a meeting of the Utilities Commission at Owen Sound Friday it was decided to reduct the light and power rates of the hydro sys- tem 10 per cent. This decision fol- lowed representations which were made to the hydro commission in July, which were verified by an accountant from the head office.

Our Flesherton correSpondenti referred last week to the death 0: 3. Dr. Carter, a man we have known I intimately and well for nearly 30i years. He may have had. his pecu- ‘ liarities, like most of us, but few ' men had a bigger or better heartI when measured up, in comparisong with his means. So far as we know he was not a wealthy man;b uti it was his big heart that kept him from having more money. There was no ostentation in his giving. We never heard him refer to his acts of kindness, nor did he ever ’sound a trumpet to tell of his charitable doings. These were sealed secrets that will never be lrevealed unless the recipients wish to speak. He was never a hard or harsh man to make col- lections for his services. When he thought the patient more needy tthan himself he was not slow to cancel the debt, nor did he appear to d‘zO it with reluctance. Many c. .debt has been cancelled through the big-heartedness of Dr. Carter. Many a man is in comfortable cir- cumstances now who might have been crippled for life had Dr. Car- ter been exacting in his collec- tions. Dr. Carter had a big heart and, many a one to-day should feel censtrained to drop a tear of gratitude on his grave.

Toronto is hard to surpass as a,“ city when it comes to contributing , to patriotic purposes. They show 0 their sympathywith the cause by' going down into their pockets and setting a pace for other parts of the empire. 1 All persons, ladies and gentle- men, interested in patriotic, re- cruiting or Red Cross Work, are invited to meet at the public lib- rary next Monday evening at 8 o’clockâ€"Dr. J amieson, President.
