in

that

to

Personally
we
have
never

the

and
it
was
only
when
General

followed

to

where
Cronje
made

It

at
the
time
we
received
orders
to
follow
the
line
of
retreat
to
cope
with
isolated
bodies
of
Boers
who,
detaching
themselves
from
the
main
army,
indulged
in
sniping
tactics.
We
were
employed
in
what
might
be
called
"mopping

in
keeping
them
away
from
the
main
army.
One
could
follow

course
of
Cronje's
retreat
along

river
by
various
articles
of
equipment
lying
about.
Many
of
these
were

were

themselves

as
being
in
favor
of
proceeding

at
an

$530,000,
a

It
may
be
that
some
minds
have
been
wavering
on
the
subject
on
which
the
Daily
News
has
already
from
time
to
time
suggested
it
might
be
wise
to
proceed
cautiously.
Last
week
a
letter
was
published
in
this
paper
from
Ernest
Love,
formerly
superintendent
of
utilities
here
and
now
operating
the
telephone
system
at
Stewart,
expressing
the
opinion
that,
by
repair
and
extension,
the
existing
telephone
system,
at
a
cost
of
wit
hin
$100,000
could

put
in
shape
to
take
care
of
all
new
demands
for
service
for
many
years
to
come.
Furthermore,
the
present
congestion
and
inadequacy
could
thereby
be
relieved
at
least
one
year
earlier
than
the
proposed
new
plant
could
start
to
operate.
The
question
to
carefully
consider,
therefore,
is
whether
the
project
involving
an
outlay
of
$500,-000
or
more
is
absolutely
necessary
or
whether
the
present
telephone
plant
can
be
put
in
such
shape
as
to
meet
the
requirements
for
some
time
to
come.
The
majority
of
the
city
council
is
convinced
in
favor
of
the
new
automatic
system
