connection with the new build ing the duties of the commission were to protect the consumers of light they had nothing in common with the murray memorial committee or the council last year at the nomination meeting no one had gone on the platform to say that an office in the new building would be provided for the public utilities office it had always been the ambition of the commission to occupy a home qejtheir own and wlien they saw a lot available it was considered well to secure it he had no idea that the mortgage on the lob was held by commissioner kerr but knew the lot was owned by mr lindsay after plans had been made the com mission had come to the council they had never refused to cooperate with the murray memorial committee and mr king pointed out the number of exten sions of time and dejr that had been made to accommodate the committee they now had a splendid office quarters possibly better than the other building would have been if however the same thing came up again the y m c a would never have been on this lot he felt the commission could take a little credit for bringing the issue to a head differences of opinion were readily forgotten and he hoped to be able to carry on harmoniously there was 4500 in bonds and in the bank and a working capital of 1 500 to 2000 the commission was in good financial con dition they were willing to survey the plan of electric heat for the building but the installation cost he felt would b prohibitive he thanked all for their support in the past mr king has an other year in office and was not seeking reelection at this time commissioner r j kerr thanked those who had placed him in nomina tion for the third term if the electors had read thi free piiess they had fol lowed the proceedings because everything was there and nothing held back he had never been opposed to the murray memorial building or any other town improvement the building had been talked of last year but no mention made of office quarters for the com mission he did not hold the mortgage at the time oi the sale of the lot there had been some talk that the murray memorial building would never be fin ished the commission had asked tthe council for something definite but was not going to give up the lot until some thing was assured the present office was not fit for the conduct of business he was right for the new building and was ready to put up a dollar or- two if necessary he would like to have fl year or two in the new home councillor jones how would the tin building look at the back of the new building mrkjcrr just as well as some of
