In the ab- sense of Rem‘M’r. Morris, Rev. Mr. Wylie took the chair; and dis- [charged his duties very efficient- ;ly. Rev. Mr. Poole, of 'Granvd {Valleyi spoke thoughtfully and well on the good effects of local option since it came into effect in his town. He also gave a number of statements from business men‘ expressing pleasure over the im- proved conditions, both morally and financially. He was of the opinion that any.municipality vot- ing for the repeal of local option. was taking a retrograde step; and strongly advised its retention in Durham by a substantial vote at the next election.

We believe 1t would be a great benefit to the town if light and power could ’ be obtained from a source cap-a: ble of filling all our needs. We do} not think its introduction would interfere materially with existing concerns, as proper and adequate: compensaticn would be made.’ perhaps on the basis of arbitration if not satisfactorily arranged otherwise. - i We have no definite information to give concerning the introduc- tion of the Hydro-Electric. We are iconfid-ent. however. that Durham 'will fall in line with other towns when the time comes. Data is be- ing gathered and ere long we may expect to have the question submitted to the electors. It would be well to have, the vote re-‘ corded at the time of the mum-4 cipal elections in January, but the; time is getting short and it may? be held, over for a time. We are: not sufficiently posted on the conditions and costs, but judging from its general adoption in other places and the satisfaction ex-9 pressed, we think it would be.aj good thing for Durham, and un- less circumstances arise to cause Dr. Taylor has a lengthy letter in this issue on the Miller-Ball controversy over ,that hundred .dollar contribution. The evidence Iof a couple of mother’s boys will ’scarcely alter the situation, and Ipeonle Will think just the same as they did before. We don’t believe the entrance of Dr. Taylor into the controversy will strengthen Mr. Miller’s case. nor Weaken Mr. Ball’s contention. Mr. Miller says he tried to correct the omission. and Mr. Ball contends the omission was an'injury to his business as a manufacturer. Mr. Miller max'xbe' telling the whole truth, but from! the fact that he and Mr. Ball Were' former political Opponents there are many of the public who will not be convinced of Mr. Miller’s sincerity. We are personally of the opinion that the making of such an error intentionally would be a; very short-sighted policy on thel' part of Mr. Miller.
