Mr. John D. Thompson,
Clerk of the County of Elgin,
Court House,
St. Thomas, Ontario.
Dear Sir: -Re Dominion Natural Gas By-Law-
Pursuant to the instructions of yourself and
Warden Auckland, I have studied the proposed by-law
of the Dominion Natural Gas Company 1td., and discus-
sed the same with the Solicitor for the Townshi~ of
Southwold and Mr. McNulty, Official Gas Referee, Par-
liament Buildings, Toronto, and beg to advise you as
follows:
1- The proposed by-law simply renews the terms
and conditions of the previous by-law with a further
period of ten years.
2- The Council has power to pass such a by-law
without obtaining the assent of the electorate(see
Municipal Franchise Act Chapter 277, Sec. 6, sub-sec-
tion A.)
3- Possibly a committee should be appointed so
I
l
-2-
Mr. John D. Thompson SANDERS & SANDERS
that We might discuss rates, length of term, and
other terms and conditions.
Yours truly,
