Gray,
minister
of
lands
and

in
addressing1
a
convention
of

Municipalities
yesterday,
said
he
was
strongly
opposed
to
the
policv
of

commissioners
to
take
over
the
affairs
of
municipalities.
"It
should
be
the
very
last
thing
that
any
government
would
do."
he
said,
"to
take
away
the
franchise
of
a

The
present

would
do
all
it
could
to
prevent
such
a
position,
he
said.'
The
creation
of
a
public
utilities
'commission

and

rates
in
the

would
not
be
possible

Mr.
Gray
said.
The

had
passed
a

requesting
the

to
appoint
such
a
commission
at
as
early
a
date
as
