same material as it spend the money was not profitable to use lumber at present prices Referring to the County Roads ByLaw he said the people of Newmarket would not lose anything by voting for it Mr McKay wanted to know if the users of electric light were paying for the street lighting The Mayor replied that they did matter and he- hoped the electors will vote in favor of it on Monday Col Lloyd thought a Library was a good thing for those who wanted to read and not compel everybody to pay for what they do not want Mr Coombs reminded Col Lloyd be had to pay school taxes but did not send anybody to school and if he had his way be would bar the steel bridges in town and make every body who crossed them pay toll Mr Davidson observed that in a town about the size of Newmarket the people voted three years ago for a free library and they would not go back to the old The number of readers have increas ed enormously Mr McKay was the last speaker on the list He thanked the elec tors for his return to School by acclamation He had noth ing to say about school matters but a good deal about electric light He did not consider that the rates were just The flat rate for Mr John house is a year He is burning on the flat rate this year but also owns a meter- The meter indicates that at dhe rate his light would cost him 54274 therefore the Town is losing He would like to know how that cor responds with the test in Mr Rob ertsons house The corporation should give customers light at cost but he did not believe in one man pay ing for another The meter is the only fair system and the flat rates are not consistent Mayor Cane observed that used by Mr was not a fair statement For two years he paid by meter and speaking from memory he did not pay more than a year His attention had been called to the way Mr house was illum inated in the early part of the year and he is certainly burning to excess in using three times as much light as formerly The trouble with me ters is that people economize so that it does not pay The collector estim ates that if everybody was on meter receipts would fall Similar complaint was made about one of the hotels in Town A meter was put in by the Council in order to test the teeter and it was found that the was only paying volts bill was 160 per year He was put on the meter system and now the corporation only gets a little over half that amount The only way he could sec that would meet the would be to put everybody on meter charge a higher rate and at the close of the year distribute the balance over and about the expenses similar to a mu tual insurance company A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and the meeting adjourned about oclock Mr It Smith resigned on day leaving the old Council elected by acclamation I I Mr J also
