His colleagues, in his opinion, are mere nonentities -they do not possess “the right kind of pr experience,” and they so fully realize their own helpless ness without the great McKinnon that they “persuaded him again to nominate.” In fact, “the magnificent system of water- works, the pride of our city,” will at once collapse if it is not again placed under the control of Mr. McKinnon. It wil] never do “to lower the standard of qualification,” whatever that means Perhaps cur pat- riotic friend wil! define it, and tell us who there is in this city who is qualitied to fill hie official shoes as True Water Commis- sjoner. It may not be amiss just here to enquire how much the “magnificent system” owes to Mr. iiones. When the waterworks agitation commenced, he was one of the chief promoters of a private com pany who ? actical | sought to obtain its entire control, and his name stands first in the Act that was passed to incorporate this company in 1885. When this scheme was foiled by the efforts of some of our public-epirited citizens, and the citizens in genera) ob- tained control in spite of Mr. McKinnon’s efforts, he came to the front and succeeded in gettiug himself elected as one of the Water Commissioners. He has held this position for the last six years— during the construction of the works and since—and has derived many hundreds of dollars out of it. What have we deriv- ed in return? We have hydrants said to be inferior, @ leaky reservoir, and an in- vestment in a stone quarry on Mount Ed- wari Road as monuments of the wonder- ful experience and business capacity of Mr. Me lanes and his colleagues. Mr. Smith is a practical mechanic, and as such has worked for a number of years in the city. So far as mechanical know- ledge “of the right kind” is required by a Commissioner, he possesses equal, if not better, qnalificatioos than Mr. McKinnon, and has this advantage over him, that he ‘s not in aay business which leaves him open to the imputation of having personal in- terests to serve. He thoroughly under- ’ +tands how work should be done, and if he and men like him had been on the Water- | works Board for the past six years thou- sands of dollars which have been wasted would have been saved to the city.
