The total` overdraft of the town is $8409. 32. CONCERNING lLEC'1`RIC_ POWERS. V Alderman McLean asked Chairman Boys of Electric Light_Committee, if he had ob- tained any further information on the ques- tion of Electric Light power. rm... nL............. .4...-..A O-I-inf n m-nnnnl usuu U1 nIcuul'|U ulguu puwus. The Chairman stated that a practical computation of the cost of electric power shows that a 125 horse power engine run- ning l0 hours will furnish 25 horse-power, the cost being $4.50 fora ton of` coal, and $1 25; for an engineer's wages, a total of ~ $5.75 per day of 10 hours, or $1725 for l . year or 300 working,days $1725 for 25 horsepower for 1 year means $69 per horse- power per year. This gure, however, does ' not Include the transformer, transmission and * wire losses, nor interest on extra investment, and makes no allowance for depreciation Therefore the Committee concluded that $80 per horse-power for one year is the! lowest possible "price at which power can be furnished in Barrie ; and this gure is quite above `what any business man can afford to pay. From enquiry he had found that some prices elsewhere are as follows :- Toronto, $60 where several horse~power is taken, but $80 to $90 for one or two ; Lach- ine Rapids (water power) $40 per h. P , for $200 h p. : Orillia (water power) $13.50, I but authorities say that it is absolutely; impossible for Orillia to furnish power ati that gure ; Hamilton Cataract Co. , $22.50; . Stratford, "$150. The Chairman thought that Stratfords, price is a fair example of what Barrie's should be. ` rmsM1m s cars. `Chairman Tyrer asked that 16 remen s `capsbe purchased at 500. each.`--Adopted.

On Sundav morning in the Collier street Methodist church, Rev. Dr. Potts, of To- ronto. preached an excellent sermon on the Twentieth Century Fund, taking as 9. text Joshua, chap. 3. vs. 4, for ye have not ipsssed this way heretofore. "Wan vnunl-on!` nnntlnmnn \ovn'Ininn Rev.

So we two; are nearing a point when we shall experience an event, the like of which we have never experienced. A new centu_rv is before us and the old one passing away. Then is not a sentence ,to indicate how the Methodist church spent the closing hours of the last century. though no doubt there was earnest, watchful prayer. It is intended by the church to mark the close of this century by raising a million dollars as a centennial monument of gratitude to God. This is the most colossal undertaking of the church during the century, and the doctor declared l it would be a great uplift of the church and cause a great ingatnering' of souls. It would lead to a re-studyof Methodism and .|John Wesley. It is 162 years since Wesley was converted, and the church of his founding is the largest Protestant denomination in the world. In looking back over the centuries all would agree that, with the omission of the first, this is the greatest century the world has ever seen. .Is it not `well then, and for Methodists especially, 3 to think how the close of it should be spent i No doubt there would be wonderful prayer and conversions,` but would it not bewell to imitate the action of the Magi in present- ing some thanksgiving? So it is proposed to pass over into the new century with the gift of the Twentieth Century Fund.
