Lamps of London and a Windsor election note
The piece recalls how oil lamp street lighting in London began around 1684 with Edward Heming supplying lamps to every tenth door on moonless nights. Lamps were lit at 5 pm and extinguished at midnight, replacing tin lanterns, with three livery companies supplying candles. The contract system ended in 1736 amid householder taxes, but lamps remained doused at midnight. Gas lighting soon followed in the early 19th century, aiding home oil shortages. A Windsor Star note mentions an upcoming general election in Prince Edward Island.

Mixed Receptions Over Removal of Meat Price Ceilings
Meat price ceilings were lifted sparking mixed reactions from officials and farmers. Agriculture Minister Gardiner warned prices could rise or fall based on buyer willingness at a Liberal rally in Yorkton. Canadian Federation chief Hanham called the move a staggering blow unless consumer prices rise. Livestock men in Calgary and others expect higher producer costs to push meat prices up, while Manitoba federation leader Wood saw potential benefits for coarse grain farmers but noted timing and discrimination against oats, barley, and livestock producers due to existing agreements with Britain.
