cuy. . _ 'I`he water diversion affects not only the towns and cities of the lakes, `but every municipality in Ontario. because it -means a tremendous loss in navigation and power and the con- sumer always pays. `Last fall, Mr. Maguire stated, ten -boats. were un-y able to pass through. the Welland Canal because of the lowering of the water. This diversion has been going on since 1889 and `Canada knew little about it until comparatively recently. The annual loss is estimated at $35,- 000,000. He stated -that investiga- tion had showed that seventy-ve per cent. f the members of the Leg- islature 0 Illinois were on the pay- roll of the Sanitary District of Chicago. ' tn fin Gnh- Axiom If]-1-n uinfnvl at-no` Ullihaih fight over `the Water steal, Chicago had millions to spend while those combating the diversion had only the per capita grant of'the'muni-` cipalities, but back of it was" the en-I thusiasm qf municipal councils and service clubs throughout` Ontario. v----.- vwv-wv-DC.--v-V V.- The `thanks of the club to Mr. Maguire `for his splendid address was e ressed by Mayor Duff, _who also ad ed his word of praise for the. work of the local water and light commission. Vice-president W. -C. Walls was chairman and the booster was Ed. S tcliffe. His -prize, a shirt, went to D ncan McCuaig. Jan. 17--A meeting of the Guthrie` I-J.F.0. and,U.F.W.O. Clubs is to be held on Wednesday. Jan. 26. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Neil Mccuaig. This meet- inn: is gzxilled earlier than `the re_ ular` time tottake advantage of having ome or the speakers who are conducting the , short courses at. the Town Hall. The members ot'the Guthrie Institute are invited to attend. The as eaker `insisted that reduc- tion in t _e diversion, remedial works or bartering 10,000 cubic feet of water per second in the St. Lawrence `for an equal amount at Chicago will not `give a satisfactory solution of the question. The attorney-generals of seven states were unanimous in the opinion that there `should =be no `diver- sionat all because of thetrea-ty of .1909. The case is now being argued and a -decision is expected in Febru- ary.

It costs Ontario $8 a light and New York State pays $40 a light forits half. I Chicago Water `Steal ' `Mr. Maguire attended 1 the first meeting called in 1911 at Milwaukee to combat the Chi-'c_ag'o _water' diver- 'sion. There were only a handful at -that meeting but the movement had grown until there were 600 at the last` meeting and all the cities of the .lakes were represented. A great deal has been accomplished, he .stated. Metering has been ordered and sew- age disposal worksstarted -so that the diversionwill be reduced -by 1929. MIL, _,.,,- ,7" waikettolfreisclglliifh.

PRAISES BARRH: HYDRO HIGHLY Publicity for Party lfunds A rather interesting point has been raised in connection with a by-law voted upon by the electors of Godar- ich at the recent municipal elections. The by-law'had a majority of 12 on the votes counted but there were 25 additional ballots, presumably- un- marked or spoiled. According to the? returning officer's ruling, the by-law was defeated because it did not have a majority of `the votes cast, there having been 789 ballots deposited in the boxes and only 388 for the by- Jaw. The question _for the legal lights to determine is whether a man who puts an unmarked ballot in the box has voted or not. Whatever me? be the strict legal interpretation, it does not seem right that unmarked ballots should` be allowed to settle the fate of a by-law. . T V; ~ GUTHRIE UH l_|lU LUIS G LUVV IIIIIILIDCS.

A few minutes later Dillon tied the score. There was no score in-the rst ten minutes of overtime `but in `the second extra session "Tuohy grabbed two goals, each on a pass from Dillon. Dillon Fastest Player Dillon. was the best man on the ice and was always dangerous when he had the rubber. Tuohy `was a close second to Dillon in effective. ness. Long was almost impregnablc in goal and Coleman and Riley in fron-t- of him made` a strong defence Coleman was particularly good. Ken nedy wasgthe only Barrie player to display his usual form and he `hurt his knee in the second period when he collided with the Meaford goat`. and was not` so effective afterwards. He was injured again in the-over- .` time when he carromed into the boards at the end of the rink and had"-tosbe carried off the ice. _He- returned later `however.
