Our second purchase of six more carloads, which nrrired in Deoeinb«r and which mZ now retailing, was bought at a still lower prico-suflSoieutly low to make it possible tor as to discount our prices of a month ago by about 20 p.c Every dollar's worth of this immense purchase of graniteware waa madw by the McOIary Co.

As an illustrHtiun, the property >>eliinging to the Hi>ge; estate is, I believe, 40 rods wiilo at this point. Suppose we take the value of the water{K>wor whirh it i" proposed to develop at say 820.000 and the width of the property beinx 40 rods, and Alma 8truet,boing 4 rods,|which is 1-lOth'of 40, oral the same ratio of value, the street would be worth at least S?,000, it being the moat important point in the whole proposed developement as per thejpower company's prespectua. Now you will see, Mr. Editor, that the above propoiition would be a very reasonable une for the company, and as this prop- erty has been held for the last twenty- tive years at a prohibitory price, although the parties owning it have been offered time and a;(ain kchkI prices for it, it would be very unfair if the township of Arte- mesia-should give away the most valuable Tiart of all this property without reasim- able consideration. However, the coni- jmny should be given every encoarage- ment in this matter and I would suei(est an axreeuiont something like this : Have the company agree to furnish all the {lower nurded within the township of Anemesia, for manufacturing and other purposes, at, say, a redasttun of $5 or 910 per horsepower leas than charged at outside points. This they could well af- fiicd:to do, as there would be l.ttle or no loas in the transmission. Of course the p'linla where the power and light would be must likely reijuirud would he Eu- gonia, Flesherton and Ceylon, but as no oifp can fiiretflU what will be needed in the future, the whole township should be included. I think some such agreement with the company woalJ fill the bill. -T. W. WILSON Oaprey Council The ouncil of Oaprey met at Faver- shaiu on Saturday, Feb. 6th, 1004.
