PASSED READING WITHOUT DISSENT Money Bylaws Aggregating $200,000 to Be Submitted to the Electors Money bylaws aggregating the expenditure of $200,000 were passed their second reading at the council meeting last evening and sent forward to be prepared o be submitted to the electors on January 15th. There was no dissenting voice. The. bylaws included the Hydro-Electric ag- reement, one for the providing of a recreation park, the extension if the telephone systém, the ex- tension of the electric lighting t svstem, the installation of a Deisel engine as auxiliary to the permanent system that might be nstalled if so decided upon and the erection of a municipal building on Fulton Street. The mayor drew attention to an alteration in the hydro-elec- tric agreement as announced vesterday. Section 22 is now al- tered so that the last clanse of the section, reading: “than is supplied to the city of Prince Rupert,’ was now made to read “than is supplied to the custom- ers of the city of Prince Rup- ert.” Ald. Kerr said the company was advertising power at Port Edward at $35 a horse power. The information is obtainable at the company’s office. The mayor said the language of the agreement that the com- pany was prepared to enter into was clear. It was that fhere would be no power furnished at a lower rate than was supplied to the customers of the city of Prince Rupert.
