Frost, clerk of the court. Mr. Frost stat- ed that the Court had met with the farmers yesterday morning, but that no definite decision had been arrived at and that upon request of the farmers it had been decided to further adjourn the court until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Reeve J, M. Kenny, a member of the Court of Revision, explained the steps which had been taken with regard to the much discussed farmers' agreement, The ultimate solution, he thought, lay in an assessment somewhere between that proposed by the assessor and that which the farmers, through their committee or association, had offer- ed to the Court. "I do not see why the farmers should be exempt from ten mills on the general rate," Deputy Reeve Bowman declared. He stated that there was much town property more inconveniently situated than many farms but taxes were pald accora- ing to the full rate, "If you don't want to give the farmers proper treatment then you should not object if they separated from the municipality and joined the township," Councillor Brough- ton parried. "I do not think the farmers can possibly join the township," Reeve "Their 'property by the town just the same as any other property."

A. Blackburn informed the council that he had re- ceived an account, with vouchers, from the county treasurer, stating that the total cost of the Ross Road Bridge had been $10,233.13. Making an allowance for $230 which it was understood was the township's share of constructing the sidewalk on the bridge, the city was liable for $5,- 006.56, Mr, Blackburn reported. He recommended that an agreement be signed with the county and a by-law be passed by. the city council cover- ing this amount, as this was neces- sary before debentures could be is- sued for it. The matter was referred to the Board of Works. The usual by-law providing for the watering and cleaning streets, to be paid for by a special levy on the properties affected, was passed, Opening Louisa Street On motion of Alderman C.

COOKE (Continued from Page 1) xious to know if there was any possibility of the commission tak- ing over that system. Mr. Cooke replied that as soon as all thd 17 municipalities oa the system had purchased their local distrib- uting units, the commission would be supplying them with with power, He estimated that this one-half. Considerable discussion arose over the Ottawa-Toronto line re- cently opening to carry power from the Gatineau development, Mr. Sinclair brought up the question of the treatment accorded to farmers across whose property the lines had been sirung. Complain of Treatment There has been a lot of com- plaint down in my section of the country," he stated, "The hydro came in and cut down trees where they wanted to. In one school sec- tion they cut down the shade trees in the schoolyard, My impression has been that the commission does not know this and does not keep very closely in touch with its field men, The farmers have no com- plaint against hydro, but they have against the treatment they were accorded, Now that a second line is being built over the same route I think I am justified in drawing this matter before the attention of the house in order that any neces- sary adjustment may be made" Mr. Cooke: "I am aware of these compaints and they are gen- eral throughout the whole stretch from Ottawa to Toronto. Some of them have good basis for com- plaint and some have not, Others are based on the old idea that it's alright if the other fellow bears the burden but it is not so good if it is yourself, We had right-of- way men whose duty it was to buy rights off way. Like all real estate men, théy try to make the best bargain. We found that in some in- stances they bought the right of placing poles for 30 years for $1. "We came to the conclusion that there should be a minimum uni- form price. This was set at $5. For towers we made the minimum price of $25. The imstructions now are to pay these prices and to make adjustments while working on the new line whereby farmers who were not paid these amounts pre- viously should be paid up to date."

Both federals and rebels seemed to be awaiting devel- opments in Chihuahua. At Nago, Sonora, eight miles south of Bisbee, Ariz.,, General Ag- ustino Glachea's 1,200 federal In- dian troops continued to strengthen their fortifications. At Agua Pri- eta, 30 miles east of Naco, things were quiet, with the town still un- der control of General Yucupicio's 500 Yaqui Indians, who apparent- ly maintained allegiance to the re- bel cause. Conflicting Statements At Nogales, Northern Sonora re- bel headquarters, conflicting state- ments were issued at intervals by rebel leaders on the Mexican side of the town and by General Abelar- do Rodriguez, federal leader, from his headquarters on the Arizona side. The rebels claimed that Gen- eral Olachea at Naco, was coming back into the rebel fold, while Gen- eral Rodriguez insisted officially that Olachea was loyal to the fed- eral government. Rebel troops have repaired old trenches and thrown up new fortifications to protect Nogales from attacks, In Sinaloa rebel troops, said to number 5,000 were reported to be ccentinuing thea dvance upon Maza- tlan, ehld by 2,000 federals. Re- pairing of bridges which had been burned by the federal forces in their retreat to Mazatlan was re- tarding the rebel advance.

A request for peace terms was made in behalf of all rebel leaders, the President said, according to Liekens. Received With Amusement Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, Mar. 19.--The rebel generals, Fausto Topete and Francisco Borquez, at Northern Sonora revolutionary headquarters here, today received with apparent amusement the an- nouncement from El Paso that the volutionary leaders in Chihuahua had asked for peace terms from the Mexican federal government. The rebel generals said they did not believe it and that the asserted peace move "would have no effect in Sonora." : KINGSTON ELEVATOR PLANS DISCUSSED Kingston, March 19.--Mayor Craig. Messrs J. F. Sowards and C. C. Fol- ger returned from Montreal yester- day after an interview with W. H. Coverdale regarding the proposed 4,- 000,000-bushel elevator for Kingston. The visit was for the purpose of fur- ther discussing the proposition with Mr. Coverdale, and for laying be- fore him possible sites on the water- front here, . Mr, Coverdale is very much in ear- nest in his desire to see an elevator erected at Kingston, and expressed himself as willing to do his part if the city could meet his requirements. The President of the Canada Steamship Lines stated that just as soon as he could get complete de- tails and a definite opinion from his engineers he would immediately com- municate with this city.
