Greene, J. A. Thompson and Thos. Trench, representing the Rich- mond Hill Ratepayers Association are in Toronto to-day interviewing Man- ager Harvey of the T. T. C. with the view of securing better service and lower rates for Richmond Hill. The committee was appointed at the last executive committee of the ass- ociation as it was felt that everything possible should be done to obtain for Richmond Hill the best service poss- ible at the lowest posible figure. It was pointed out that there were sev- eral families left the district when the fares were raised and that with present rates it was a burden for the working man to live in the sub- urbs and pay the high fare. As it was not known whether or not the council-contemplated any action on the question the above committee of three, was named to wait on the Reeve and Council and enquire if it twas their intention to‘ interview the T. T. C. in the immediate future re- garding service and rates and in the event of their~having made no such arrangements and not intending to do so the committee was empowered to proceed to interview the members of the commission on behalf of the rate- payers.

In the first pull the men of Vaughan were the Winners, but although the referee is a Victoria Square “old boy” it is claimed that he let the Vaughan team pull the first time with an extra man. However Markham won the two final “heats” and were declared champions. The members of the band are thankful to the people of the entire district who so generously patronized the event and also wish to thank all who assisted with carrying out the program.

Once the ten- 1ve been confidcc The word “POWER” itself immediately creates in one’l mind an idea of stability and safety, and hydro-electric power plays no mean part in the development of CANADA’S natural resources, which is so essential to the welfare of the Dominion. One might say that reasonably priced power is necessary for the economical operation of newsprint, mining and countless other industries. It will be conceded without argument that the investor in PUBLIC UTILITY securities in general and HYDRO-ELECTRIC securities in particular have been singularly fortunate in Canada. Not only have these securities proven to be a safe form of investment but in a great many cases they have shown the investor a hand- some profit. This we believe has been caused by the fundamental characteristics of the business. In the first place they are selling a product for which there is a universal and ever increasing demand; their business is on a cash basis and there are no inventories to write down, and in the case of straight hydro-electrics there is little 01' no labor; consequently they are relieved~from any labor difliculties. The use of electricity is expanding so widely, that in our opinion, the future holds even more promise than the past. We recommend for investment first mortgage bonds of the OTTAWAâ€"MONTREAL POWER CO., LTD., due 1949 to yield about 662. These bonds are widely distributed and always in demand, and should the purchaser desire at any time to sell, there would be no delay in converting holdings into cash. WRITE or PHONE 87.
