Three fingers were badly cut and the flesh at the back part of the hand was seriously slashed.

DURHAM, 0NT., THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1903. CHURCH NOTES. .\l ls'I‘llODIST. .a 0.0 - Know I DEAR Sinâ€"There seems to be an ' impression prevalent among the rate- payers of the town that because the council of the municipality are equal- ly divided on the question of the town owning its own Electric Light Plant (It is well known that when a council is equally divided any motion put on which the vote is equal is lost, the mayor in this case not being able to vote on account of his interest in the question,) the council cannot sub- mit a by-law under these circumstan- ces. Now this idea is a fallacy be- cause at a public meeting of the rate- payers, duly called according to law, a resolution was almost unanimous- ly adopted in favor of the town ac. quiring its own electric light; and surely the members of the council, being only representatives of the rate- payers and trustees for them of muni-l cipal property, surely they (the coun-l oil) are bound to carry out the wish ‘ es of the ratepayers as so expressed in the resolution and to submit to the ratepayers a by-law for the pur- pose of acquiging the franchise. Ratepayers are not forced to vote for the bylaw and if the requisite majority of ratepayers do not support the by-law then of course it is IOSt, and other means willhaxe to he tak- en to supply light to the streets. It is ce1tai1ily a ve13 disgraceful posi- tion in which this town stands at present as far as regards the supply- ing of lights for the streets. Many towns and villages on all sides of Durham have their streets lighted. and in many cases own their own plants, and there is no reason under heaven why Durham should remain in the position she now occupies, and her citizens and visitors be compelled to carry a medieval lanthorn to light them on their wa\ “hile passing along the highways of the town Late Asmistant Rm.
