Will- '5lllfl¥l’-l|‘0ilD08i.tlnll. Resolution Cllr- ried Making Offer of fql pmt,
i"\,
In the matter, of the City Connell
taking over the electric plant of the Charlottetown Light and Power Compnuy at a meeting last night u,f_ ter considerable discussion of the question pro and con, the Council by a vote of four to three, with one nieniber not voting, carried the fol- lowing resolution, which was moved by Councillor McKenna. and seconded by Councillor Walker:
Resolved that an offer be made to
the (fharlottetown Light and l’ower Company of $96,000 for the plant, franchise and assets of the company, the ofler to be on thc basis of pur- chase fred from debts and encum- brnnccs; the reserve to be applied in reduction of the cost of' new plant, now being installed. The above offer is based on the representation of the state and quality of the plant made to thc Mayor by the directors. ’l‘he oder to be subject to the approval of thc citizens at a meeting to he called for that purpose, and the Company to allow the city expert to examine the plant and the books of the com- Dfl1lY~ .
Strong opposition to the -motion
was offered by Councillors McLean, McNi=\'in and Campbell.` , The situation when the matter
came before the Council last night was this: A meeting of the share- holders of the company was then he- ing hcld at which the question as to whether they should sell out or not was considered. The company had brforc them an offer from the Mari-l time Trust Company! for the pnr-` chase of the business at twenty perl cent. above, the par value of their shares. The companyl desired the
citizens were satisfied to take over
Ulf* Dlant, he would be satisfied too,
OUT UF PLACE.
Councillor (lainpbell thought that
the making of an offer to the com- pany flint night was out of place as they had not had their own inspec- tor yet to make an examination of the works and give his own valuatiod of them. At present they were tak- iingthe cumpany's valuation, and as a rule tho man that was selling al- ways looked for the most he could get.f If they made that offer that night he did not sec that there would he any use in getting a valuation af- terwards. He thought that the mat- ter was being riished through too quickly. It was u question that in- terested every citizen and $100,000 meant u great deal. He would he in fa-vor of the city getting an entirely new plant, mid he thouglit that it would he more ndvantngeoui-ily sit- uated at another spot than that which it now occupied. Consider- iable economies could therefore he ef- fected. The getting of a new iip-t0- date plant would give the citizens far more satisfaction than to buy a second-hand plant; part of which was older than the oldest man in that room, and very little of which was good, up-to-date or new. He thought* therefore it would be nn- buslness-like to go and buy that plant for $96,000.' -
Councillor McNevin said that the
motion was out of order.
The Mayor pointed out that the
company were not anxious to ecll to the city, but rather to an outside
city to make them an oder for the Comlllllly-
business, agreeing, in the event of.
Mr. McNevin said that the city
such an offer being made by the city, was not anxious to buy the plant.
f
to hold the matter open until the opinion of the citizens was obtained
the city was to he made subject.
SHAREHOLDERS STILL
They were making an offer of $16,000 for ivlint? A plant that was out oi
have to spend another forty to fifty thousand dollars to make it upto- (lutc. and still a good part of it

.Although ‘the City Council carried thing for them to do was to lldllslllt
the motion to make an ofler-to the company for the purchase of their pinot, the meeting of the company' last night did not decide on the point whether or not they would sell.-’ In fact, thc meeting has been od- jouriied for a week. 'lhat is the D°9l‘ tion in which the matter at present stands.
'When the above resolution was Pfe-
sented by Councillor McKenna, Coun- cillor Mcilean immediately ODPOBQG it. He said that he did not think it was a fair way of finding out the im-inds of the ratepayers of the city in bringing the matter before them at a. public meetingl in the Market hall. In the first place, the hall WHS no; big enough to accommodate more than a small proportion of the ve0pl,._ He thought. that there should be some other way Of mldlng out whether the people were in favor_ .of making that offer to the company. _ 'A matter that involved so much? money as $96,000 should be brought, before the people ill ll i'»h°l`°“5\‘ W“5"|

the cif._lzpn_s first, and if they were willing to biiy` then the Council should make the best bargain it pos- sibly could for the city. The idea of offering $96,000 for a company that was only capitalized for $55,000!
MOST UNREASONABLE.
Mr. McLean: It is the most unrea- sonable thing I have ever heard of in my life. The people should be con- sulted in a proper way before MW action is taken. There are council- lors interested in this company and I think it is only fair that they should not vote in the matter.

agcs against the city of Charlotte-I town for injuries sustained by our clicnt at the crossing on the west' side of Rocliford street at the corner of Mr. Kcmp's property. It seeuis that thc city has recently construct- ed n. coiicrctd sidewalk along the western side of Ilocliford street, and at the crossing at Mr. Komp's cor- ner, the sidewalk has been so cou- structcd that people passing along the struct are liable to sustain very serious injuries. As our client was going along the street recently her .foot got. twisted in the gully or ws- 'ter course constructed at Mr. Kemp’s corner, and as the result,
clearly liable for the damages sus
a case of non- feasance on the part of the Corporation; it is a case of mis-feasance owing to the improper construction of the sidewalk by the corporation, which renders it liable for damages. We would therefore ro- quost that a settlement of this claim be made forthwith, and if Your Wor- ship and the City Council decide to contest the intended action, will you kindly let us have the name of an attorney who is authorized to ac- cept service of a writ on behalf of; the corporation?" - On the motion of Councillor Riley
seconded by Councillor McNevin, it
was decided that the matter should ie referred to the Recorder for re-
port to the Council on it.
