The Electric Light Company asked I $90 each for eight lights in Allandale ward when they thought the Allandale people would compel the town to put in the light. Thanks to the people of Allandale, they saw the game the com- pany were playing and would not press for the lights, which would be to the benet of the monopoly, but injury to their neighbors.

McDonald was charged $69.30 a year for 11 lights, whereas by a circular issued by . the Barrie Electric Light Company in Au- gust, 1897, eleven lights are given in residences for $27 and _ -in stores for $42; In May, 1896, the same W. Mc- Donald .was charged at` rate of 833.60 per year for 4, lights, whereas in the circular referred to four lights aregiven in residences for $10 and ' in stores for. 818. Why this street reduction` from 1896 to 1897? Wasit not thefear of municipal `competition 3. Carry the by- law and thus keep-thevrate down, but defeat the ' by-law and the Company pany will be-free to gobacl: to the old rates. But the _`0umpan'y does not ad'- here to the rates published in their cir- cular of Aug. 1897; for instanoe-W. McDonald above referred to was billed in May, 1898,. at the same rates for 4 lights as in May, 1896. Some consum- ers probably get their light at_ the "Cir- cular " rate, but why not give the same terms to all consumers`! The Barrie Electric Light Company 4 are active opponents of the town taking I over the waterworks plant, `which is a paying concern, though the corporation is only exercising its right according to contract. in doing so. Waterworks systems pay, this statement having been proved by ma`ny_-towns in Ontario that have turned the stream, of iprots into the . municipal .tre'ain_ry, where they epftipely bblonsgth Oompnny ciwallins plsnth-vinstienimdsetha full eon- $;'.'4t` o.h.-'AjI -lLL'Ll.` -i..`.".``_"..gI`_. ` nu. ;' Property holders should pass the by- law whether the town installs an elec- tric light plant or not. Pass the by- law and the Council will bein a posi- tion to dictate terms to the Electric Light Company,` or put in a plant as they see t ; in other words the Coun- cil will be masters of the electric light situation. If the by-law is defeated, the Company will be the masters, and in that way; having the town by-the throat, can force their prices on the people or plunge the whole place into darkness. By all means pass the by- law.` . The Barrie Electric `Light Company, h a paid servant of the corporation, has tried to run the town,instead of being its obedient servant. During the lalat municipal elections, in particular, the company tried, though unsuccessfully in most cases, to -elect a Council that would do its bidding. This was a very impolitic stroke ` on the part. of the said company, but shows that the mem- bers thereof are attentive to their own interests, irrespective of what may be of greatest advantage to the town. Cold Facts" puts the depreciation of an electric light plant at 5 per cent. per year. This ten-year-old _ plant belong- ing to the company is therefore worth ' only 50 per cent. of its original value. At any time, therefore, the said plant was or is worth what it cost less the depreciation. A In November, 1896,the Council offered to submit to the people a proposal to purchase the plant at coat 1 price less depreciation, butthe compe.ny_ refused` to agree to what was certainly a fair o'e_r. ' ' Ifethe Electric Light Company can afford ` to give the street lights now for $55 each per year, then they have been charging an average of $13 per light too much` during the past ten years; Vote forthe by-law and get your lights at first coat. , The position of a'airs is this :-On February 24th, 1896, freeholders in-c structed the town by a vote of 308 for and 147 against, or more than 2 to 1, to purchase the waterworks system and. put in an electric light plant. It these Ireeholders go to work now and defeat this by law, which is according to in- structions they gave in 1896, what re- liance can the Council have in their word, or what Councillors would con- sent to work for the town in the face of such a proceeding as that `I uuv ynquu-yuvnus uu uggu-'-Inuu nut 00!!` Eden "rind of their monopoly. 6 The "town objgcts to 0qmpif.n_y rule and re cent: any e'ort in that direction.

This it ` is proposed` to avoid by having three` unpaid, commissioners who will have supervision of such municipal institu- elected for three years, one retiring every year. There will not be any dif- culty ingetting good men to come out as commissioners, and may be elected for a second or third term. g,52%:.`z,e" ma 2; 4; -25 mazgon the j`L7lY.i`;`_ ` " . ; Isis ........so...:s1;.i;.i. .'.y ti 3` Q...` jQ1'it.y _ of the progierty. holders are so unbuamees like ac `to be _w_ illing to give more, er even as i_nueh,__'l'oi- an old plant as fore bracd `nevi. one.

Under that system, which it "is ' proposed to introduce in Barrie`, this town would have six Coun- cillors elected by a general vote. This reduction from l5'members to 7 mem- bers would increase the eiciency of the * Council and ensure more careful and economical management of all munici- pal works. The Company : last offer `was $55 per light for a half-night service ; or at that rate $110 for an all night ser- vice.- The town plant will provide an all night service at less than 860 per light. It is not long since the Com- pany asked $130 per lamp for an _all night service. Vote -for the by-law and get your light at lowest prices. The pamphlet says that in England if the city purchases the business of the local company, it `must take all their property at a. fair market value. This the Barrie Council has never refused to do.

That is one of the Company : lost opportunities. Property holders should not be hood- winked by the pamphlet that has been distributed `in the interests of the company. This is the last opportunity the town will have to install a first- class municipal electric lighting plant at a minimum cost...- Legislation will be passed compelling municipalities like Barrie to buy out existing plants before negotiating for a new plant. It will mean the paying for two plants. one of which is. old and very much de- preciated in value.
