Advertising copy . effice not later than Monday noon to | The village of Bridgeport is confronted | ; with a serious problem in connection with its | hydro electric supply. The place is still receivâ€" | ; ing power from Kitchenerâ€"in contravention of | ; a provincial ruling that one municipality may | ; not buy power from another. s Three courses are open to the village of | ; Bridgeport, the most favored and apparently | , the most feasible being to connect up with the Preston rural hydro line, although the rate 1 asked for the first few years is slightly more| than that which could be obtained by either of 1 two other courses. Another alternative is the|. purchase outright from the city of Kitchener|, the lines and all equipment used at present| to @upply the village. This would, however, inâ€" volve a greater expenditure than the village could well afford in the opinion of many rateâ€" payers. A third proposal is that of amalgamaâ€" tion with the city of Kitchener, which is not favored as it is felt that it would make for increased tax burdens and the payment for cerâ€" tain services of the city which, being isolated, the place could not enjoy the benefits of, while at the same time it would lose its identity. Whether special provision‘ could have been made in the Act to cover such cases as Bridgeport so as not to disturb existing arrangements which apparently were working out satisfactorily, we are not in a position to say. The Hydro Commission has not yet tenâ€" dered its advice as to the best solution of the problems facing the village in response to the request made by a deputation which waited upon it some time ago and naturally all inâ€" formation obtainable is desired. In the meanâ€" time users of hydro power in that community are in an unsettled state of mind which would be relieved by a definite decision as to the course to be followed. Waterloo Chroniclé \3 It is generally recognized that in welfare work the women of the community perform a service which is of special value to the instiâ€" tutions on whose behalf they labor so diligentâ€" ly, in fact without their assistance these instiâ€" tutions would find it impossible to carry on with the degree of success with which they are being operated. ~ An instance in point is the Freeport Saniâ€" torium. As revealed at the annual meeting just held, it has been the object of special effort on the part of the women of the County. Bandâ€" ed together in groups in the Auxiliaries orâ€" ganized throughout the district, they have worked energetically in behalf of this instituâ€" tion and aroused an interest in the Sanitorium which is reflected in donations of furnishings, fruits, clothing, etc., to the value of over $6,000. There is now located in almost every centre of population in the county a group of women organized to support the . Sanitorium when assistance is required. * The â€"work is one deserving of the earnest support of the citizens of the county who, where need is shown, invariably make a liberal response to meet the need. Those who have come forward with donations and gifts for this deserving institution, and general interest in the institution is unmistakable, have the satisâ€" faction of knowing that their liberality and generosity are helping to make those who reâ€" quire the services of such an institution, happier and more comfortable. BRIDGEPORT‘S HYDRO ELECTRIC SUPPLY SUBSCRIPTION RaATES One Year, it AOVAMO®. .+« + ++ «> +++ / The Upper House in Nova Scotia will likely be abolished as a result of a decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council which found that the Government possessed the right to make additional appointments without limitation. Premier Rhodes will consequently now be in a position to appoint enough new councillors to pass the legislation previously deâ€" feated which will abolish the council itself. It is interesting to note in this connection that: when Premier Rhodes took office in 1925, after the Liberal government had been in power for forty years, he found an Upper House comâ€" prised of members of the opposite party. He announced his intention of abolishing the Upper House but naturally failed to get their support. He can now appoint a sufficient number over and above the present membership to secure its abolition. With the abolition of the Legislative Council in Nova Scotia the only remaining provâ€" ince with two Chambers will be Quebee. The action of the government of Nova SeothinpzudufottheabolifionofmUwor H«mhntnrprhhcwhathemflhcud its population is considered. That this has been previously recognized is evident in the proâ€" posals made from time to time for the limitaâ€" tion of its tenure of office or for its complete ORGANIZATION IS DOING COMMENDABLE WORK TO ABOLISH UPPER HOUSE a;‘-;b-nm Cop cany Wl MB cochichcedibetate Touse comâ€" Development of such processes would mean party.

Winnipeg the selection of a leader overâ€" shadowed to a large extent the platform drawn drew the resolution took good care not to say too definitely what that policy was. It is noteâ€" worthy, on the contrary, as has been pointed out, that the resolution expmesses approval of theredmtionoftheeutallnplmuund inpmdnctionwhichuouofmfutmof the policy of the present government on which special emphasis has been laid. This indicates that Western influences, in all probability, were reflected in the tariff resolution. The question of fuel policy was another problem on which the convention declared itâ€" self. It favored the securing of a finding by the Railway Commission of the cost of carryâ€" ing Alberta coal to Ontario which has already been done by the present government but also declared that the Dominion government should subsidize the coal industry, if necessary, in order to enable Alberta fuel to compete with American anthracite in Central Canada. Stockholders of the Canadian Northern five per cent. income charge debenture stock will have an opportunity of approving next month of an arrangement already sanctioned by their committee, by the C. N. Railways and by the Canadian government. The securities, of which about $6,000,000 are held in Canada, mature in May 1930 at par and the present proâ€" posal is that this date should be anticipated and the stock redeemed in May 1928 at 94. According to the authorities this is a generous settlement and should be accepted. Its approval would remove another of those preblems which were inherited when the control of the various systems which now constitute the Canadian National Railways was assumed. Difficulties over the settlement of these problems has served to injure Canada s 812 English market for some years. Premier Ferguson, on the occasion of his recent visit to the West, took the opportunity : of investigating the possibility of securing Western coal for Ontario consumption. He beâ€" lieves the people of this province are willing to pay a bit more to use the native product and while welcoming American coâ€"operation iand American settlers, he was averse to paying them money for something Canada produced, especially as once Canadian money crossed the border it stayed there. He thought that with time and as the result of careful discussion and study of all angles of the Western coal question, accompanied by a reasonable attitude, negotiaâ€" tions might lead somewhere. Mr. Ferguson stated that computation on the basis of larger cars would have meant a rate of $6.75 compared with $7.22. He believed that eventually a basis of agreement would be reached. f \ _ Canadians generally,‘it is hardly necessary to say, would be glad to use Canadian coal if it could be obtained at a price commensurate with that paid for American coal. It is hoped that some solution of the difficulties now standing At the recent Conservative convention > in the way may bc; r}ached that will enable consumars in the Dominion to largely make use of their ov-\;;lva)al resources in preference to that of the Republic to the south since it will help to develop and build up this country. A writer in the Monetary Times emphaâ€" sizes the huge potentialities of coal deposits in Alberta and British Columbia when the possiâ€", bilities of the processes to change coal into fluid fuel are considered. These processes have already been demonstrated to be practical and it is declared that wood alcohol is produced from coal in Germany and shipped in such quantities to the United States that its compeâ€" tition is seriously felt. When the French and German chemists, who invented the processes, spoke before the bituminous coal conference at }Pittsburg less than a year ago, a vast amount of information was promulgated. | CHANGING.COAL INTO FLUID FUEL THE USE OF CANADIAN COAL ___| SETTLEMENT PROPOSED injure Canada‘s standing in the While the uumber of casee of cholora in. the Kent disâ€" twict in lan usual for this t‘dhfi’-ww men do not regard the sgituation in this district at all an epidemic.
