x The more I have considered the matter the wore firmly I haye become convinced that Electric Railways are the final 'and only solution of our trans rtation problem, - =, The Financial Post has a lot to say about' the failure of certain Electric Railways in the New Egland States, but whatever the facts may be as a to railway conditions in New England the Province of Ontario and 'more particularly the poutherly and Westernly part of it is on an entirely different asis. Tr Lope ie "~The steam roads have been granted a great increase in rates and a similar increase for Electric Railways for all classes of service would more than take care of any' increase | in cost of construction since estimates were prepared. © The Financial Post and other anti-Hydro al papers have much to say about motdr service as a solution of the . the transportation question and this would seem to be in: the: : mind of the Ontario Government in view of their tremendous goods road program. io SA OR x 'Right here I warit to say I am a great believer. in, good roads: like improved machinery: they very 'materially lower . costs and very greasy add to convenience and pleasure. : I remember the time when Electric lighting was expected _/to bankrupt the gas plants, but the gas 'plants kept on and not only survived but increased and expanded ust as electric . railways will keep on and increase and expand with the aid + of motor trucks and other feeders. Railways and Electric cars and motor trucks are all co- "partners in transportation, not enemies or opponents, but there are fundamental reasons why the electric railways er than motor transport is the fittest to survive of those two méthods. - When the Ontario Government announced that a Royal Commission was to be appointed to investigate the feasibility of a Hydro-Radial System, and before the members of said Commission were named, the Financial Post, in an editoral stated that the men to be appointed on this Commission should be "men of vision", men who could see into the future for ten or twenty years, men who could estimate for years to come the rising eost of construction of Electric Railways and the future cost of labor, of railway stock, maintenance and equipment of all kinds. , : thank the Financial Post for laying down that platform and if the Ontario Government is acting on that basis I will also thank the Ontario Government--transportation has to have power and the fundamental question is what kind of power will continue the cheapest in years to come--Power from coal in Ont ario cannot survive.
