DAILY EDITION ii oecesautcle OPPOSITION TACTICS The forces opposed to Ma- yor Pattullo are doing all in their power to make an issue of the Hydro-Electrie pro- posals. They want the may- or to father the scheme, and then they will come along as the supposed pratectors of the people. Any fair minded citizen will see that these men are not sincere for then they would not use it for political > purposes, nor to make an ex- hibition of spleen. A sin- cere opponent of the scheme would start an agitation to defeat the bylaw as such, and would keep so far away from its political aspect that no one could charge him with ulterior motives. The mayor realizes as few do the seriousness of the power situation and he evi- dently believes that the Hy- dro-Electric proposals is the only speedy solution in sight, and surely we all have a right to our opinions. However the Council is submitting another alternative proposition to the people in the form of a mun- icipal diesal oil plant. This might later become an aux- iliary (and this will be nec- essary) and in the meantime serve the city very economi- cally, while we are endeavor- ing to secure a stronger water power than the one we now have at Woodworth Lake. It might indeed turn out that the people would turn down both of these schemes. << Monday, Dee. 15, 1918 Perhaps the citizens would sooner stand a shortage of electricity and use the pre- sent expensive plant as an auxiliary than tie up with a private corporation, and in that case no time should be lost in developing the best water power available. Should that be the decision of the people at the polls there is no one who would quicker carry out those wishes in that re- spect than the present mayor. The people must first con- sider however, whether or not this can be done. There is an amount something over a million standing out in short term treasury certificates that must be shortly finan- ced. Besides this the first care of those’ in authority the health of Should there be of people year whal should be for the citizens. a large’ inrush within the next about our water and sewers. We are even now badly in need of sewers, but with our population doubled the con- ditions would be serious. To settle the question of water and sewers will require any- where from a half million to a million doliars. If we take even $150,000 at present for our electric problem, what about the other million and a half, or two” million that we must have. This is not in- tended as an argument in favor of the proposals. It is rather a concrete’ statement of the difficulties of financ- ing our own scheme, and if those who favor it would ex- plain this away a good many people would’ be brought to their way of thinking.

Mr. Joseph Devlin’s con- cillatory speech on Sunday at Rathdrum, close to Avondale, the birthplace of Parnell, gains importance from the fact that he is regarded as Mr Redmond's ur- most pronounced Nationalist advisor. Mr. Devlin said he welcomed Sir Edward Carson's latest atti- tude.
