the Oratory or debating qualities of
the speakers.
The affirmative side of the ques
tion was advocated by G. T. Tread-
gold, J. W. ast and C. R. Moore,
and each of the gentlemen brought
out many poin:s of advantage that
the port commission would be to the
commercial interests of Bandon.
On the negative appeared Geo. P.
Topping. M. Breuer and A. Haber-
ly, and all of these gentlemen
showed a thorough knowledge of
the question in hand and p- inted
out objectionable features to the
establishment of a port at this
time,
The main points of a port
dwelt on by the speakers were the
law, its good and bad points
the benefits, if any, to be derived
from a port, th ? power of die port
commissioners and the amount cf
tax possible to levy for the mainte
nance of a port. All of these and
other points were Very skillfully
handled and the result of the debati
will no doubt be, that people will
begin to take interest in the ques
tion and search for whatever truths
they may be able to find on the
subject, thus posting themselves so
as to vote intelligently on the
question when it. comes up for a
special election, which will be in
the very near future.
Owing to the debate, there was
no meeting of the Commercial club

ing will be held at the Firemen's
