Elliott quoted extensively from a scries of documents In support of his contention that the reason the city had lnsuf-flcent water pressure to provide adequate, fire protection and assured service to all households was because the power company was draining off the pressure In the course of generating elec tric power at Shawatlans.

"Safe and sane business administration" was the most threadbare slogan in Can adian politics and had left a litter of bankrupt cities from I one end of the Dominion to the other. Any insinuation that the men on the platform did not represent labor was a bare-faced vote-catching lie since they nad the backing of every labor group In the city.
