ELECTRICITY.

(To The Editor Stratford Post.) Sir, — In your report of the Council meeting, held on Wednesday, you ieport me to have said that I could noi see any other way but in taking a poll of ratepayers on the expenditure ol £17.000 to £19.000 for the purchase of the Company’s plant. Such word were never used by me. W hat said was this, that if the resolution to adopt the report in its present form were carried (which reads as follows : “Your Committee recommends that the Council takes the necessary steps to instal an electric lighting power system similar to that at Bedding,”) there was nothing else for it as far as 1 could see blit to take a poll of the ratepayers on an expenditure of something like £17.000 to £19,000. I made it very clear that 1 was not discussing the purchase of any particular plant* hut 1 took exception to passing a resolution of such importance involving an expenditure of such a large amouni at the last meeting of the old Council —1 am, etc., J. MASTERS.
