The Ontario Legislature has been asked to deal with several questions mlating to electric railways, during The expenses of maintenanee are all within sight. The government gives a grant sufficient to cover cost of all necessary reading matter. The Meeham'es' Institute Board of Direct- ors will, by the establishment of the room, be enabled to make a grant, which, with the amount placed at their disposal by the Village Council, will eover all expenses of operation. Only one item is left u-nprevided for, viz., the expenses of funnishings and fittings. There are, liownrvei',venougli premises on the part of private indi- viduals to guarantee this item of ex~ pense. This is in brief the outline of the plan as «considered by the Board. Suggestions will, however, be gladly received, and we shall be pleased to open our columns for ibis purpose,and for general diseussiou as invited last week. For a time it would hardly be pos- sible to keep the room open more than three nights a week. But once its success is proven, and its patron- ronage increased, it is altogether likely that it could be kept open every night in the week. ELECTRIC KAJLWAY MATTERS The plan is to furnish the room with the leadingfidaity and weekly papers; also with themagazines. To provide in addition games that can be engaged in without too much dis- turbance to others who might be reading. In fact, to keep open a room bright and attractive, where all citizens, young and old, who are so disposed, may find a pleasant resort and pleasant and helpful entertain- ment. Some, of course, might at first go for the sake of pleasure derived from games. But even these could hardly attend the room frequently without curiosity or interest leading them to examine some of the reading matter, and thus inform and improve themselves. night, and peruse the newspapers and monthly magazines. Our . 'oung men, we think, would also be glad to avail themselves of the privileges thus provided. It is not insinuated for a moment that “our boys" all Spend their evenings in the hotels. No doubt a few of them do, but many do not. Cure for those (few though they may be) who already habituate these places, is desirable. But for those who do not frequent them “ an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.“ _ â€"â€"who have no access to daily papers, much less to magazine literature. Our young men, in fall and spring seasons especially, have no place of welcome public resort outside of the hotels. The object of the Reading- Room is to provide these privileges to the above classes. Many of our Older citizens would be glad to drop in, even if only aceessible every other It is scarcely necessary here to re- fer to the need of such an institution. There are some of our citizensâ€" among them some of our most worthy In our last issue we invited dis- cussion relative to the advisability of the establishment of a Reading-Room, with especial regard as to whether such a Reading-Room would be uti- lized by the citizens or not. We have thought it advisable to give an outline of the project as considered by the directms of the Meehanies’ In- stitute. This may give text for critiâ€" cism, and will give our readers an idea of what is intended, so that sug- gestions may not be made without a knowledge of the question. RICH MON D Han.

The more that people know of the SucceSsion Tax, the more popular will that measure become. It is true, there are still a few people who pro fess to believe that the Ontario Legis- lature in. exacting a small percentage of a man‘s estate over $100,000, coin- mlts arobheryren the'property of the deceased. “They contend ' that if a man is successful in business, he alone should have the right to say how his wealth shall be divided after his death. YOUR ATTENTION A M1N,UTEI dress was necessary to put it in a proper position next year. The bill was also opposed by the County Coun~ eil of York, who made no attempt to conceal their opinion that North To- ronto was seeking to acquire enough stock in the Metropolitan railway to control the line, with the object of selling to the Toronto Railway Com- pany, in which case tlie‘county pro- fessed to believe that the proposed ex~ tension to Richmond Hill would not be built, as the company has no power under the law at present to make the extension. The Metropolitan Rail- way Company have at last managed to secure the legislature’s consent to municipalities issuing debentures for the granting of a bonus to that com- pany extending over a period of thirty, instead of twenty, years. The company were refused permission to run passenger cars on Sunday, but were allowed permission to run a milk train.
