QUESTION FOR THE PEOPLE.
City Solicitor McLeod, who wag pres-

iat itthut | ent informed the council that. the ex-

emption of 20 years taxes and the giving
away of the city;s water rights, were
questions which would have to be set-
tled by a vote of the citizeng... Mr.
McLeod stated that he saw no reason
why the city could not properly protect
iteelf against the company,should its ob-
ject be to obtain the water works only.
If the company failed to carry out its
part of the agreement, the council could
expropritate the water syftem , with the

the railroad rates that are too high.
‘The best way t» induce capital to
come here, he thought, was for the city
to send out more pricelists and show
how stocks have risen in the estima-
tion of the local public. More English
capital will be turned this way owing to
thelate hi-metallist commission which
will be the cause of withdrawing Eng-
lish capital fromthe American market.
The Englishman lends gold and de-
mands gold in return and since the com-
mission has pointed out the possibility
of the English gold invester being paid
back in silver, the Englishmen prefer to
invest in other fields.
