The same applies to those holding public posi- tions in any capacity. People don’t like to be insulted by those Whom‘ they pay for their services. Durham, ‘1 we. must say, is easy in this respect and submit too calmly to inju1y and! insult without taking steps towards resentment. \Vhen a man undertakes , to run the whole community it willl save alot of trouble to run him up short against the first snubbing-post. In pursuing a course of exposure We must not be characterized as meddle- some. We do so simply in the inter- est of the public, many of Whom are afraid to speak out loud. EVERY week, it seems, we are now called upon to chronicle the death of a. citizen. On Sunday last, there passed’ away, at his home up town, an old; and respected citizen in the person of Mr. John Robertson. For many years the deceased was a resident, and was engaged in the tailoring trade. Four sons, John and Archie in town, and and Sandy and Robert in British i )olnmhia, and two daughters, Mrs. Marshall in Ottawa, and Miss Annie, at home. are the surviving members of the family. He was pre-deceased by his wife a number of years ago, and since that time thmlmnostic affairs have been well attended to by his daughters. Fur a number of weeks pastllr. Robertson has been suffering from gangrene in one of his feet. He was about 81) years of age, and up to a {ow weeks ngn continued to work at his trade. On Monday evening Mr. N. \V. (hunplmll addressed the Presbyterian (illiill on the subject of “Reading and ~ Readers." In a. lucid and pleasing way, he discussed the books to be read, the purpose for which we read, and the different classes of readers, As to the latter, he classified them in a humorous way, as, the Raven read- er,the one who reads books that he may caw about what he knows, and pass himself ofl as one of the learned. I there is t who toils through his books, but lives all his life in Sleepy Hollow, hardly 'ous that the world moves on 3 while he sleeps.

Gardiner A. Robertson 10 Dr. Beacom Mt. Forest. Know D. Lamont F. Hinchy W. Scott 14 \V. Currie Something went wrong Sunday evening at the electric light plant and the ministers had to conduct their services without the aid of much phy-l sical light. A great deal of dissatisfacJ tion is prevalent regarding services; rendered by the company, and much grumbling is being heard everywhere. A letter for publication was handed in last week, but for want of time we were unable then to give it a place in our columns. Right here in the CHRONICLE office, we are complaining of the lights, and we wish it to be un- derstood that this is not an article of the mere “they say” character. So far as the owners and operators of the Durham Electric Light Co. are concerned, we regard them as gentle- men, and, were it not that duty forces us to speak out on this question we would think long before saying anything against their interests. The situation is simply thiszâ€"The owners and operators are gentlemen, but they have undertaken too big a con- tract and are failing to deliver the ’goods. We are supposed to have an all-night service, at so much a light of 16 candle power. We are not getting the all-night service, and although we have no means of testing the lights furnished, it must be evident to all that not one quarter of the candle power stipulated for is given even up to nine o’clock some nights, and from ten o’clock on, as a rule, there is hardly sufficient current to redden ’ the wires in the lamps. Though it is I possible to see the slightest glimmer, ' they might as well be shut off when the current gets so low. But then, the users are expected to pay for an all-night service of 16 c. p., neither of ' which they get. This, we say, is un- 9 fair, and a remedy is needed. How is r this remedy to be obtained? THOSE " L GHTNING-BUGS. ’ ’ V--â€" The power, we presume, is not sufficient to do the work. Why not, then, add a steam supplementary power? As the boys say. “it’s up to them” to get the lights, and “it’s up to them” to get enough power to generate the current. The introduc- tion of metres would, in our opinion,l go a long way towards solving the Ilight problem. If the public had the electricity measured out to them, and paid only for what they used, a great many who now let their lights burn all night, would shut them off to save their light hills, and a better service would be the result. - - 1‘ During a. recent cold period inOwen Sound the water tapes were left, open to prevent the pipes freezing. and the --H-‘-‘¢' “ 1 result was the Waterworks Company I‘ was unahle to supply the demand.‘ Investigation showed that eighty gallons per (i ' ' were wasted through extravagance in this way. In our electric light system there is a general waste, and the only way to stop it, seemingly. is to put in metres and make- each user pay for what he gets. ‘ ‘ A‘__L It is generally believed, also, that the dynamo isoverloaded. If so, an- other of greater capacity should he substituted. There’s one thing certain something umst be done to remedy the evil- We want our town to grow with the times. We want our town lighted, and turther, we want all the light that’s needed. We do not think lthat there is any general feeling of. | antipathy against the presen t company n 41-- 45.: nor any desire on. the part zens to deprive them of t] furnishing the light. A b1 who gives light. weight. or doubts if the 60 c. p. lamp used up any more current than the quantity i changed for. Anyway. anyone who thas lights is entitled to all he bargains ‘ ‘ A LL- sold. let the company provide the means of supplying them, and let the public get all they bargain for. This is a brief outline of the situation land for the present we leave the matter to others for fuller discussion.
