FAVOR 0F HYDRO ELECTRIC! A fairly representative meeting: of ratepayers assembled at the! hall on Tues-day evening to dis- cuss matters in connection with the ad-Option of the HvdrO-El' system. :Ctricl In the absence of Mayor Blaca. at whose call the meeting Was assembled. Reeve Calder was el-l ected to the chair, and W. Irwin! to the secretarys‘hip. Mr. Calder. on rising. an- nounced the reason for calling the meeting. and went on to explain the various steps leading up to a; consideration of the Hydro-Elect- ric and how the council proceeded to ascertain. a value of the ex- isting lighting system. The light- ing of the town dated back about '20 years. The street lighting. on the original contract, cost the town for years about $360, but now the total annual outlay for street lighting and municipal reâ€" quirements totaled up to about $900. He proceeded to say that: no franchise .had ever been given? to anyone. and no privilege be- yond the privilege of i'slacing poles on the various town streets. Under these conditions, the town was under no obligation to the present company, but in fairness to the present company he felt that compensation should be al- lowed. and with this end in vi :w the plant. had been appraised. in sections. so that a satisfactorv and equitable arrangement coul'l he made. The part of the plant within the corporation had. ac- cording to expert valuation was fix-ed at about $3.000. and the ‘portion outside the town. coiisist‘ ing of poles, dam. wireing. dyna- mos and other machinery, amount- (‘d’ to $7.000. This did not include real estate, but gave data on which the. town might proceed to purchase either all or part of the present plant and e’illllH‘JC‘ZBL. The valuations were read in deâ€" tail and the question thrown open for discussion. Mr. McIntyre had an offer in to supplv light on the basis of a ten- -years’ franchise. or to sell the portion of the plant lying within the. corporation. For the latter he asked $5,000. and at the close of the ll‘lGCtlnfl a resolution was adopted authorizing the council to negotiate with Mr. McIntyre for the purchase of the plant. and to submit a by-law to be. voted on at the time of the municipal elections. to test the. feelings of the electorate in regard to the adOption of the Hydro-Electric.
