ELECTRIC LIGHT LOAN.

[To Thm Emxou Stuatfohh Post.] Sir, —In your report of tile public meeting hold on Friday night, you say that I am a convert. Now, Sir, this docs not convoy the whole truth. The inference is, of course, that 1 now accept, or agree to something that hitherto I could not, or would not, agree to or accept. If now being willing to accept terms entirely different, infinitely better, and under absolutely different conditions, means conversion, then. I am converted. But let us think, £BOO goodwill now, £-1000 previously, a ten years’ lease ol an important concern, instead of three years’ lease previously. Also many important improvements in wiring ami other additions. Then pre-war times, now war tines with all its responsibilities, to say nothing of war prices. Further, the need of a united to\jn, always desirable, hut specially so in these times, is also an important factor, which cannot he lightly passed' over. Taking all these things into consideration, I hope that the proposal to raise the loan will he carried.—l am, etc., JR. McK. MOB ISON. Stratford, August 21, 1916.
