an of foot on the future pros lrity and development of Town seems imperative that every should whplo question their very It would ap pear to bo proper to completely review situation About a year and a half ago a ByLaw was submitted by then Council asking the approv al of ah agreement for electric current from the York Hallway or in other words Electrical Development Company of Niagara Falls who own their own power plant there produce the power and have their own transmission lines and substa tions bringing power direct from Niagara Falls right inlolho Town of at no ex pense to the ratepayers of tho Town That power was Ihpro then it is there now agree ment lhot was submitted with at that was ap proved of as superior in every respect by an eminent Electrical by the Hydro Commission to Engineer who was Town of Aurora as the pro per and competent man to give an opinion on a question of that kind His report was to ef fect that tbereo ways between the agreement sub mitted by the Hydro Company and that of tho York Railway latter haying everything in its favor In of the Town of Newmarket The peo ple voted this down by a row majority The then Council feeling that it was a want of con fidence vote in them as they had approved and endorsed the view as woll as Hoard of Trade of that date com posed of the leading business men of the Town resigned ami another Council was elected to take their place We have had evidence of their ability to manage Municipal af fairs up to time and wo think anyone who has know ledge of how such matters should be conducted will agree that in all probability tho Town of New market has never had a weaker or more inexperienced Council In all its history than wo have had during last year and a half Proof of this will bo forth coming the proper time One of their acts was tho submission not long since of a bylaw and agreement with the Hydro Com mission for the construction of an Electrical Railway running fxom Newmarket to Toronto over some route that was not very clearly explained hut this by- Jaw and agreement provided that the Town should become respon sible to the amount of about which was us near as may bo of the value of Town that in a mortgage to that amount would bo placed if it were passed on the properly of every properly bolder within the Town of New market The bylaw also provid ed that the Town of should be responsible for any ex tra expenditures any mistakes or bad management on the parti of the Commission which would j increase the cost and running expenses of the proposed rail way In addition to no lied up for a long period of years with no voice for influence in the management or conduct of said enterprise Tho ratepayers exercised wisdom and discretion in voting that proposition il by about three times the niajori which the former proposition hud been defeated by and the Town had reason to congratulate them selves on being relieved from such a responsibility as that by law would have imposed One would have thought after this expression of public opinion that for a lime at least the rat payers would not be asked to wo fair map will that an exceedingly row view to take Our first sbdultf be lho the should to that para mount Important and it Is clearly demonstrated that power wo now In Town every will bo more advantageous we should be willing to under in the Tbwnot New- market with tho advantages

domonsira- meeting at which very personal ref erences wero to those who supported the bylaw Wo solved the groat majority of who voted against that by law from any such action careful thoughtful who wore opposed to it would take no part in that demonstration What was of It Simply to hurt the of who were in favor of the bylaw and those probably included threefourths of the taxpaying power of the Town Newmarket inoludcd probably the proportion more of lhp80 who are through their business interests and em ployment of labor doing that which is building up Town Wliat satisfaction could any care

New market for the purpose of pow er use and lighting the Town Now it is clear to observing citizens that during the several years this question has agitated the Town those who in fa vor of Iho York Radial Power or Electrical Development Power stated most distinctly that they were no opposed to Hydro be cause it Hydro that if New market situated many places are with no power thai could be received elsewhere cheaper than the Hydro could supply arid Hydro could be ob tained any reasonable price they would be supporters of Hydro under such circum stances On the other hand does appear that there are in the Town who jure- determined to have Hydro it matters not al whiit expense or cost the Town may be to and Duly ar gument they have is the fuel hat it is Hydro Wo must submit thai E Ewers
