He Chas for his printing office and 'residence comlined. about 30 flights installed. both on the one lmetre and charged on the com- ;mercial rate. The service is good :and the cost for each month since the serVice commenced a few gmonths ago. has shown a consid- gerable saving over former charg- es. The cost of his lights last émonth in both printing office and dwelling was only $2.39, and that was at the season of longest 9nights. when the service was Tmost needed. The rate there was :9c. per k.w.h..up to 30 ‘k.W.h if we iremember correctly, and current above that limit was supplied at half that rate. The cost for domes- gtic use is in the neighborhood of 14c. per k.w.h.. with the added cost éfor floor space of the building. l the service was both better and cheaper from the Hvdro. He gave no figures. In a letter from Mr. J. R. Gun. of Hamilton, a couple of weeks _a.g'o, he expressed rileqsure over the passing: of the Hydro by-law. but while he would warn the peo- ple not to expect somethihg for nothing, he finished up by saying We can scarcely expect as good and as cheap service as thev get w.h.. but the discount will be only 10 per cent. This will ma‘n e the cost a little lower than formally.” We received a letter from Frank Clemas of imufmi, and we take the liberty of referring to his letter in a cmmle of points. He expresses pleasure at the car- rying‘ of the Hydro Lyâ€"law. and then gives a bit of personal ex- perience as to its cost in London He savs: “Our highest Hydro bill for the Winter has oeen 800 ., and the lowest for the summer 470..

The Council, so far as the ordinâ€" ary onlooker could judge‘ are anxious for proper law enforce- ment, and if they, with proper support from the rest of us, exer- cise their authority in the right direction. the year we have enter- ed will usher in the dawn of a brighter and better government. Most‘ people like to see good ‘order and the exercise of indg- ment, discretion and dignity on the part of the Constable himself will go a long Way towards the Winning of public reSpect. confi- dence and support. Mr. Arrowsmith we believe‘ is . gobd choice. and will prove an efficient officer. He has 1131 con- 'sideraue municipal expuience. and {or years has been a Countv Constable. Up to the present he has been highly esteemed and reSpected by the community, and bv the exercise of his good judg- ment the new position will not rc- sult in a loss of prestige and influence. We Wish him every .suc- cess and hope that in the dis- charge of his duties he mav find strong backing by the moral support of the Whole community. the discharge of .general business. Mr. Clifton .Elvidge was the only applicant for the assessorsiiip and received the appointment, at $75. There were eleven applications for the position of constable and its et ceteras. The names of only two were submitted to a vote of the board, and the mantel of honor fell on George Arrowsmith‘ who received the appointment at a salary of $600. There were anumâ€" ber of good men on the list of applicants,' and perhaps it was not an easy \matter on the part oi the Council to decide on the right man.
