Ther the added increase in war produc- tion in the district compeiled the Hydro . to cut off its- supply ai secandary power ta the pape: mills, as it l'equircd ail its curreni for primary power. This was a lass ta bath parties concerned, as if forced the milis ta novent tIb coal and steam as a poa.wen, while if meant a lass ta flhc Hydro in that it could be selling extra pow- er if if was available, from the installation ai extra power units and the raising ai the water love] of the lake. The Hydia subse- quently has been laying plans ta divert other water ito the Nipi- gon basin, that there inay be su!- ficient electricity at. ail times, and that extra power may be secured af' any time if the emengency arises. As early as 1924 the Hydro Commission recognized the possi- bility ai diverting water itt Lake Nipigon. Many miles north ai Lake Nipigon flows the Albany River eastward ito James Bay. one ai the largest tribufaries -ai the Albany is the Ogoki River, separated irom the Nipigon Basin by a ridge ai hills.

Since the diverted water, alten being used on thelicNpigon River, flows it thfcGréat Laites and down the Niagara River, the plants bocated M .Niagara ,would also benefit by thc extra amaount, as would the Sault Ste Manie timated that an additional 112,000 harsepawer ai clectricity wauld be added ta these plants, thus permifting thern to expand suffi- ciently for any past-war indu 's- tries that miglit be set up ta On- tario, or if the war continues, it will be utilized in aur prepent cause.
