It Is the view of the governor and his council, afler a thorough Investigation of the conditions, that It would be more equitable to all concerned tn tnoreue this rale m two and a half cents a mile. In return for this modification of the law the rallrnads are expected to make desirable concessions in the way of interstate rales and Interchangeable mile age books. Telephone Men in Convention. Chicago, Jan. 2t.---The annual con* veuiion of tho International Independent Telephone Association opened in Chicago today in conjunct Im with lln Electrical show now being held In the Coliseum. Every member of the council was in his place promptly at ii o'clock. Before the reading of the minutes the mayor rose to address the council and a dozen or more citizens who were present. The mayor made a careful statement as to the position of the light and power aflairs, especially with the power plant. He summarized the situation by saying that the plant, even when the governor and draught tube are repaired, cannot be regarded as complete. For several years the successive city councils must be prepared to expend considerable sums of money. Nothing, he thought, was to be hoped from the city's old plant, but bethought seme business disposition should be made of what remains. He advocated entering into business relations with the West Kootenaj- Power and Liyht company, and maintaining them at least so long as the city has only a single unit plant. He hoped that relations between the city and the company should no longer be affected by "prejudice. He announced that there would be no *| favoritism, that the city's relations with SB its customers should he purely business. He would hold each head or a department directly responsible. As to matters requiring immediate attention he mentioned the park building and extension of water and light service. The mayor announced that he had given instructions for the closing of liars from midnight on Saturday to 1 a. m. Monday. As to gambling he did not expect to stop it entirely but intended that there should he no "tin horn" gamblers allowed in the city, and no gambling in public places. He then presented the following draft of committees: Finance���Aldermen McMorris, Patenaude and Hale. Public works���Aldermen Procter. Kerr and Steed. Fire, water and light���Aldermen Hale, Patenaude and McMorrls. Tramway and health ��� Aldermen Steed. Kerr and Procter. Fire wardens���Aldermen Patenande, and Hale, The minutes of the last regular meeting were then read and adopted. While waiting for R. H. Zavitz a small payroll was passed. The mayor thought that for the first month there should be weekly meetings of the council. A letter from the Can pany, laid over from th was read and referred to the flre, water ami light committee. The sanitary inspector's report for the year VM>~ was read and referred tn the tramway and health committee. It. H. Zavitz then addressed the conn ell. He had lately asked Mr. Bullis to put the governor Into dally use and use powdered emory to grind down the obstructions. That had been done resulting In great Improvement and reduction of friction and fluctuation. He hoped that within a week tho regulation would be perfect. He stated also that there were other cnuses, line and transformer losses, for the variation in light and power. He wished to controvert the general Idea that tbe governor alone was resinmslhle for defects. Mr. Zavitz stated that he had been told that officials of the West Kootenay Power and Light company were authority for crlticfsms of the governor and statements of its inadequacy. To the mayor Mr Zavitz snld thut he proposed to fulfill all speciflrntfons within a week or ten days at the outside. Even now. he contended, the city was getting a first class service. The mayor���The work of the governor should reQItire no attention. Mr. Zavlts���And It will not. On the occasion of your visit, It Is true, two men were watching, one being broken ,nada ZiiK com- he last meeting. was tht* worst was pretty bad. Mr, Zavitz���No, not bad, but not what we hope to make It. A discussion followed on an appearance of smoke, steam or vaporized oil. Mr. Zavitz asked for a little more time to demonstrate that the governor ls not too small, and there is nothing wrong with it. Mr. Zavitz explained away the telegram of May, 1907-, promising a new and larger governor, by saying tli at though after Mr. Pfau's visit, it was before a "Torque" test had been made. He repealed that belore asking the ;#ty to accept the machinery he would prove that it conformed with the specifications. Many questions by the mayor and Aid. McMorris were answered by Mr. Zavitz to the effect that daily use was wearing down the original abnormal friction of the gates which was responsible for the inefficient operation ol the governors. The company is not experimenting. Similar governors had been and are in operation elsewhere. The governor is worth about $2,000. On motion of Aid. Procter and Patenaude the matter of the governor was left for one week when Mr. Zavitz undertakes to meet tne council again. On the subject of the draught tube Mr. Zavitz expressly and completely repudiates responsibility. The company, he said, had only attached the tube to tbe concrete which was defective. Aid. Steed���It couldnv't have dropped away If the flange had held. Mr. Zavitz���The flange couldn't hold unless the concrete did. A. L. McCulloch, speaking at the mayor's request, read the instructions to bidders in accordance with which the contract was drawn, which stated that the contractor on installation must make all preparations to install, erect aud operate. He still contended that the draught tube was never properly installed because it was not anchored. The surging at the bottom of the tube made it inevitable that the bolts should break, which, he understood, had occurred. As engineer of the works he had asked that the tube be anchored. The tube arrived much later than contracted for, and was not installed until October, IWMJ. The company's representatives, Messrs. Bullis aud Nezas. were preparing to install without any provision for anchoring. When his protests were ignored, he had taken the only measures then possible for staying tiie tube by iron bands. Mr. Zavitz replied that the corporation was responsible for the foundation. of which, he held, the anchoring was a part. The mayor disagreed. H. C. Bullis agreed with Mr. Zavitz. and added that Mr. McCulloch had endorsed his account against the city for putting in Uie iron bands. Mr. Zavitz admitted that the great surging of water was a condition unknown to them, not mentioned in Mr. Herschel's report, but asserted that nt, foundation was laid for anchoring. As a matter of fact the company had sup plied a' bracket but there was no place for it. To Aid. Procter, Mr. Zavitz said if the coffer dam had been left the delay in the arrival of the draught tube wouUi not have mattered. Mr. McCulloch's letter, written to the company at the time, was then read. The city solicitor produced a letter from A. L. McCulloch, of June 9, 1900. distinctly mentioning the anchoring of the draught tube and urging its Installation not later than March of that year. Mr. Zavitz replied that the delay wa.s due to strikes over which the compan;. had no control. The mayor told Mr. Zavitz that the city was seeking no advantage, byl thought the company should bear an> ��� Kpense due to their action or negli gence. He suggested a compromise In the matter, the company replacing Uu draught tube, the city securing it. Mr. Zavitz then called It. S. Lennie to consult with him. Mr. Lennie premised that neither party was standing on strict legal riglil hut trying to teach a sutislactoiy agreement. He understood that A. L. McCulloch hailNulmltted that the foundations were defective. Mr. McCulloch denied making such admission, it was a suspended tube. The anchoring was quite possible. The des'gn and plans were In the hands ol the company when they tendered. Mr Lennie said that there were other considerations. He had been willing to waive them for the sake of argument, He suggestod reference to the contract by tho mayor, the city solicitor and him* self. The mayor suggested further attempts to compromise. Mr. Lennie, continuing, said thai the company believed it hail fullv fulfilled Its contract. He could not for the com pany accept responsibility for the breaking away of the tube. The company was wi.ilng to consider any proposition aud to meet any request within reason. The mayor���Then we should not take long to reach an agreement. The mayor slated that a gate had to be constructed, and suggested a special committee. Ou motion of Aid. McMorris and Kerr the matter was left to the mayor and the city solicitor. Before leaving Mr. Lennie made an appointment with the lire, water and light committee for Thursday at 4 p. m. oa the subject of the Canada Zinc company's application. Tne question of a gate, as a substitute for stop logs, was then taken up, the city engineer explaining the proposals. ne gave the estimated cost, including everything but the guard shield, at *2,b00, the time at 12 working days, provided all preliminary worn, were doue. it would not entail a shut down. Restoration of the draught tube would involve three shut downs each from ti p. m. Saturday to 6 a. m. Monday. He had consulted with Mr. Brown wiio entirely agreed with him, and also with another engineer, whose name he was not authorized to mention. Aid. Procter urged that before such work was done some well known engineer should be co ilted as to its feasibility. A. L. McCulloch, asked his opinion by the mayor, thought the extreme turbulence ot the river at high water made the piers a doubtful expedient, but he approved of the steel gates. After a general discussion the matter was referred to the flre, water and light committee. The mayor stated that Mr. Gillett would return the part of the plant he is using. The mayor was so instructed. Aid. Procter brought up the question of insuring light. He referred to the proposal for a retainer of $1,000 a year lo the West Kootenay Powed and Light company, and moved that it be investigated at once. Aid. Patenaude seconded the motion, which was passed. The chief of police asked for a uniform for Constable Lewis, and new rain coats for the whole of the force. The second part of the request was granted. The estimates of the school hoard, as published in yesterday's issue, were read, total $19,350, less government grant $6,760. net $12,690. The mayor���This is an increase of $2300. There Is no explanation. 1 don't think we are entitled to ask for any. The estimates were referred to the finance committee. An insurance policy for $690 on the city's horses was presented with a bill for premium of $79 for two years. The mayor remarked that no city official nor member of the council should incur liability without authority. It was decided on motion of Aldermen Patnaude and Steed to return the policy. The case of .lohn Andrews alias Sunny Boy. recommended for the Old Men's Home, was mentioned by the city- clerk. At present his care costs the city a dollar a day. It wus decided that the necessary steps be taken to secure his admission. Three families of squatters on the C. P. R. fiats offered to dig a trench, lay a pipe and pay $3.00 a month each guaranteed by M. Scully, for city water. The application was granted. Aid. McMorris asked about arrears due the city and was told that of $700 arrears In the scavenging department only ahout $250 was collectible, of $5.- 000 for Light $4,000 was December dues. $1,000 arrears, water about Uje same. R. A. Brown reijorted the arrival of wire and said the entenslons of the service ordered would be made at once. The council then adjourned to Jan. 27th. DENIED BY WHYTE a*> F. W.

MUNICIPAL BORROWING' Prominent Canadian Financier Says Municipalities Are Too Ready to Incur Debt. Toronto, Jan. 21.���Mr. E. R. Wood, vic-pra --.i.l.-ii, of the Dominion Securities company. In his address nt the annual mea-tlng of the corporation, reviewed the bond situation ln detail, and lncideptally passed Ihe criticism given below on municipal bond issues. His words were: "The weakcat feature of the municipal situation is tho VrflUllgneM of munl- aipalilies to assum. i,idebt**dness, es- pa'cially for undertakings of a general public service nature. Such debt is assumed without recognition of the fact that Its swelling total must lead tu In- c,rasing interest, rales to compensate for tho increased risk of the bonds as litvi'SUnents. The present large rise In interest rates obscures this Inevitable result. It will appear when Interest reaches its level again. "Since Great Britain ls necessarily the only great market for Canadian bonds, the municipalities should seek the aalvice of an investment house familiar with lhat market, and prepare their Issues under its direction. If done Iiioperly. ,1,1s need not preclude getting the issue ready In a form satisfactory to tho Canadian markets also. Such action will wlala-n tlie ninrket and Increase the credit of the municipality. In Making ihls [trlt'sh market Canadians should always benr In mind that tho English In- va'stor has a worldwide field to ehBose from, und seemingly small things turn hlni from a given security.

Discussing various methods of advertising. Mr. Ham laid strong stress upon the unapproachable advantages offered 'ay newspapers, which he considered the best advertising medium of all. His contention wns that the advertising thai paid lia-st was the advertising that was Iiresenteal to those interested under the guise of news. He advocated the en* ���.-agin of a man who could write breezy, snappy stories, which would be accepted by the eastern pajia-rs and published without cost to the city sender because of the fact that they would ba- treated as news. Booklets, pamphlets, picture circulars, and other attractive literature, was also a splendid means of attracting attention to a city, according to Mr. Ham, who detall- d the work that had been done by other cities.

BOTH AGREEA Prospect of Settlement on Power Plant THE DAILY W-^aJI-AN Will be delivered every evening at your door for SO CENTS A JVIOrVTI-1 Fifty Cents a month FIRST LONG SESSION Cty Couacil's O.-gmizitioa Meeting ���Mayor's Declaration of Policy ���Standing Committees, Every member of the council was in his place promptly at 8 o'clock. Hefore the reading: of the minutes the mayor rose to address the council and a dozen or mure citizens who were present. The mayor made a careful statement as to the position of the light and power aflairs, especially with the power plant. He summarized the situation by saying that the plant, even when the governor and draught tube are repaired, cannot be regarded as complete. For several years the successive city councils must be prepared to expend considerable sums of money. Nothing, he thought, was to be hoped from the city's old plant, but he thought seme business disposition should be made of what remains. He advocated entering into business relations with the West Kootenay Power aud Lif-rht company, and maintaining them at least so long as the city has only a single unit plant. He hoped that relations between the city -and the compauy should no longer be affected by prejudice. He announced that there would he no favoritism, that the city's relations with a_ its customers should be purely business. He would hold each head of B di'partment directly responsible. As to matters requiring immediate attention lu* mentioned the park building .���ind extension of water and light service. The mayor announced that he had given instructions for the closing of liars from mid night on Saturday to 1 a. m. Monday. As to gambling he did not expect to stop it entirely but intended that there should he no "tin horn" gamblers allowed in the city, and no gambling in public places. He then presented the following draft of committees: Finance���Aldermen McMorris, Patenaude and Hale. Public works���Aldermen Procter, Kerr and Steed. F*ire. water and BfcUt���Aldermen Hale, Patenaude and McMorris. Tramway and health ��� Aldermen Steed, Kerr and Procter. Flre wardens���Aldermen Patenande, and Hale. The minutes of the last regular meeting were then read and adopted. While waiting for R. H. Zavitz a small payroll was passed. The mayor thought that for the first month then- should be weekly meetings of the council. A letter from the Canada pany, laid over from th was read and referred to the flre, water and light committee. The snnitary inspector's report fur tin* year 1007 was read and referred to the tramway and health committee. It. H. Xavitz then addressed the coun cil. He had lately asked Mr. Hullls to put the governor Into daily use and use powdered emory to grind down the obstructions. That had been done resulting tn great improvement and reduction of friction and fluctuation. He hoped that within a week the regulation would be perfect. He stated also that there were othor causes, line and transformer losses, for the variation ln light and power. He wished to controvert the general Idea thnt the governor nlone was responsible for defects. Mr. Zavitz stated that he had been told that officials of the West Kootena> Power and Light company were authority for criticisms of the governor and statements of Its inadequacy. To the mayor Mr Zavitz said that he proposed to fulfill all specifications within a week or ten days at the outside. Even now, he contended, the city was getting a first crass service. The mayor���The work of the governor should require no attention. Mr. Xavlt'.���And lt will not. On tho occasion of your visit, it is true, two men were watching, one being broken .nada Zhic coni- he last minting. is pretty bad. Mr. Zavitz���Xo, not bad, but not what we hope to make it. A discussion followed on an appearance of smoke, steam or vaporized oil. Mr. Zavitz asked for a little more time to demonstrate that the governor is not too small, and there is nothing wrong wilh it. Mr. Zavitz explained away the telegram of May, 19U7-, promising a new and larger governor, by saying that though after Mr. Pfau's visit, it was before a "Torque" test had been made. He repeated that before asking the orted the arrival of wire and said the entensions of the service ordered would be made at once. The council then adjourned to Jan. 27th. MUNICIPAL BORROWING' Prominent Canadian Financier Says Municipalities Are Too Ready to Incur Debt. Toronto, Jan. 21���Mr. K. R. Wood, vle.'-pr. sident of the Dominion Securities company. In his address lit the annual me..ting of the corporation, reviewed the hond situation in detail, and Incidentally passed the criticism given below on municipal hond Issues. His words were: "The weakest feature ot the municipal situation is the v, illngness of munl- i-lpnlitii-s to assent indebtedness, especially for undertakings of a general public service nature. Such debt is assumed without recognition of the fact that Its swelling total must lend to Increasing interest rates to compensate fur the increased risk of the bonds as Invi'sliuents. The present, large rise ln interest rates obscures this inevitable result. It will appear when interest reaches Its level iiuniii. "Since Great Hritain Is necessarily the only great market for Canadian bonds, the municipalities should seek the advice of nn investment house familiar with ihat market, und prepare Ihelr issues under Its direction. If done properly, this need not preclude getting the issue ready In a form satisfactory to Ihe Canadian markets also. Such ncilon will widen the marks! and Increase the credit of the municipality. In seeking this British market Canadians Ehould always beat in mind that the Kimlish Inventor has a worldwide field to chMosc from, and seemingly small things turn him from a given security. He Is In n position to exuet his conditions." DENIED BY WHYTE *> F. W. Peters' Position Unchanged RUMOR WAS UNFOUNDED First Vice-President Says No Such Change Is Contemplated���Canada __..
