Oshawa FARMERS ORGANIZE 10 MEET ACTS OF HYDRO COMMISSION (Continued from page 1) Huntés, Brooklin; F. L, Smith, Enniskillen; R. Ray McLaughlin, Oshawa; A. H. P. Annis, Darling- ton, Advisory members of the directorate are F. IL. Mason, Osh- awa, and Dr, James Moore, Brooklin, : Dispute Over Compensation The dispute between the farm- ors and the H.EP.C, regarding rates of compensation paid to tho 'ndowrers over whose property the commission erected towers and strung highsteusion power lines, hag been waging for some time, A faw days ago F. L. Mason and G. W. McLaughlin went to Toronto ns nn eammittea to Interview the Hydro Commission in an eifort t « andard allowance for tower privileges, ' This they did, quite a favorable settlement being arrived at. Under this settlement, a sched- ttle of rates wag drawn up for land ot various values, covering up to four lines of towers. Two tower lines have already been construct ed, and it is the plan of the com- mission to built two more, The schedule for land of a valuation of $100 per acre is $100 per tower for the first row of towers, $126 ner tower for the second row, $160 for the third row, and $175 tor the « vu This compares favor ably with the prices of $25 and $60 paid respectively for the first . wedond row of towers, The original ngreements will stand, but the difference between the new scheduled prices and the ones actually paid to the farmery, will Le made up in the prices palg for the third and fourth rows. Similar schedules have been drawn up for land of $80, $60 and $40 per acre, The schedule for land of $50 value is $80. per tower for the first row of towers, $100 tor the second row. $120 for the third row and $140 for the fourth row, The other schedules are in proportion, In addition, the Hydro Electric Power Commiesion has definitely agreed to reimburse the farmers for all actual property damage, Not Fully Acceptable This settlement, whilo it ine mdes a great gain for the tarme- iers in thelr flight for their prop- erty rights, was not fully uceept- able to them because it aroused the question of the basis on which the lund would be valued, At the meeting Wednesday night, after 'he farmers had received the re- port of the deputation and had heard the answers to a sot of (questions that had been usked of the H.E.P.C. officials, the follow ing resolution was passed, 6n mo- tion of Roy Radcliffe and George Hunter: Resolution Passed ." "That we, the property owners of the townships of Darlington, East Whitby, Whitby and Picker- ing townships, over whose lands pass the Hydro electric power lines carrylng current from the Gatine eau, express to the Hydro Electric Power Commission and to the gov ernment of the province, the fol- lowing point, bearing upon the present situation of the right ot way easement: "1. That we fully appreciate the Importance of the great project of power transmission now being car. ried out; "2, That we as farmers wish to o-operate with you in the exten- sion of any project for the good of the province and in the construce Joh of the first easement gave you every opportunity to carry on; "3. That we do «t desire to block your progress in this, the un- precedented experiment of the grouping of four high powered transmission lines over the farms; Express Disapproval "But further, in regard to the relotionships as they now are, we hereby express our disapproval of cortain actions on the part of the commission and of its employees as well as regards the policies follow- ed as seen in their working out: "1, That the re-imbursement for the loss of our rights is totally inadequate to meet the situation; "2. That no attention has been paid to our individual demands for allowances to meet the heavy de- preclation of many of our farms; "3. That payments for damages to crops, trees, farmsteads, fences and bridges have been on a most parsiminous basis, and made after much dickering and delay; "4. That the high handed action of certain of the employees in sur. veying, scquiring and constructing of the lines has made many of the opinion that our freehold rights are being totally ignored; "BG. That the proposed additional lines constitute to us a serious menace to our title, valuation, and cultivation, and our own pursuit of happiness; > "6. That the proposed schedule of tower payments to cover these losses does not dn our opinion, in the majority of cases go far enough to compensate us for the depreciation; "7. That the indefiniteness of the policy you propose to pursue in gottlement of the damages in fut- ure as well as in the past create a serious concern in our minds; "Further, that we Intend to pregs our claims upon the legisia- ture lof the province, to so amend the Power Commission Act ty to restore to us the rights to our properts which inhere from the chartered liberties of the common law of Gfeat Britain, and particul- arly an amendment of the omni- bus elavres granted under section 23 of tie Power Commission Act of Onta.fo, 1927."

COMPROMISE ON RAILWAY SERVICE NOW INDICATED (Continued from page 1) would send the train from Midland into 'Toronto via Uxbridge and back in the evening on the present schedule. He would run the Cobo- conk train to Blackwater instead of Lindsay, and then to Midland at noon, to replace the Midland train diverted to Toronto, In this way, Mr. Jeffrey con- tended, one train crew less would be used and the railway would run 148 miles less than at present, giving Port Perry and Brooklin a passenger train each day to and from Toronto, Mr, Jeffrey lodged a 'strong protest against a service which took an hour and forty min- utos to go 19 miles, and left people of the district going _to Toronto only a short time to do business in that city, He could see the busi- ness which the railway formerly enjoyed return in part if not all if a new and better service was in- augurated--a service suited to the needs of a growing district, and a service which the district by moral and legal right demanded. Whitby's Viewpoint On hehalt cf the Whithy Cham. ber of Commerce, of which he is president, IY, H, M. Irwin, presont. ed Whithy's side of the question. Whitby, he sald, had a special in- terest in the railway question be- cause of the fact that the trains on the Whitby-Lindsay line brought a large number of chil. dren to Whitby High School, He strossed too, the financial side of the question, pointing out that the people of today, tho ploneers of the men of vision°who had bullt the line, were still paying on the dobentures, the bonuses still being part of the municipal bonded in- debtednoss, Mr. Irwin made the concrete suggestion, that the C.N.R.. if it wished to reduce operating expen- ses and at tho same time give ser. vice to the people, might operate oil electric coaches on the branch lines, thus saving men's wages, which would mean a reduction in operation costs. From R. IL. F«irbairn, of the passenger traffie department, Mr. Irwin drew an admission that no real effort had been made by the rallway to compete with the busses and trucks which wero taking away thousands of dollars in revenue. The Case For the Railway Mr, Fairbairn, however, ably presented the rallway's side of the case, pointing out that while Mr. Jeffrey and others had presented to tho Commissioners a mass of igures and detail, the C.N.R. had gone into the question of the Whithy-Lindsay service time and time; again and had found that so much money was being lost that the present service could not be continued. He stressed the fact that the train crews had of neces- sity to work longer hours than those on the main lines, with tho result that the wage bill eat up all of the revenue, The present freight service, he maintaincd, was taking care of all of the freight given to the company for handling. Little Passenger Service As for the passenger servico, it was today practically nil Mr. Fairbairn was certain that a tri- weekly freight service was all that was needed, The freight mileage was but 46 miles daily, but tho train was run 114 miles to give passenger service from Lindsay to Manilla and from Manilla to Whit. by. Many local branch trains cost more than those on the main lines because of the long hours of crews and station agents. The Orono-Port Hope Vine The claims of the district in the counties of Durham and Northum- berland served by the present Orono --Port Hope service were very ably presented by John Armstromg, of Orono, a man who has lived in that district for many years and knows something of its needs, He was backed up by Mr. Fred Bowen, M.P, for Durham, who brought forward some convincing arguments as to why the present service should be continued, and, if possible, improv- ed, These men pointed out that without a bus service they were even worse off than the people along the Whitby-Port Perry-Lind- say line. With their present train service crutailed they would simp- ly be marooned. The men from Orono and Dur- ham expressed sympathy for the people on the north line from Whit- bts agreeing that they had present- ed a strong case, Interest in the Hearing It is many a day since any public queston in this district has arous~ ed so much interest as that display- ed Thursday before the Rallway Commissioners. The large Council Chamber in Whitby was packeu, people coming from as far north as Linisay and asifar east as Orono and Port Hope, In the gathering wero municipal representatives, in- cluding members of the Ontario County Council, members of parlia- ment, presidents and other officials of Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce, and many private citizens, all interested in a common but vital problem, and anxious to contribute something towards its solution, ' Thuraday's hesriog before fhe Railway Commission, it is belleved will in the final analysis prove to have been well worth while, NATCRALIZATION CAMPAIGN OPENS (Continued from page 1) ing was Rev. Luke Standret, of the Ukrainfan Presbyterian Church, He urged the local Ukrainians to take more interest in the affairs of this conutry and those who have not yet become citizens to apply for naturalization now. He re- buked certain Ukrainians for their tardiness in adapting themselves to the conditions of this country. At times his criticism was rather severe but constructive. "It you want to amount to aay- thing in this highly civilized coun- try" ho said, "you must rid your. selves of the primitive spirit of racial secludedness, mingle with the better sort of English-speaking people, learn from them a better way of living, learn from them how to bring up and educate your children and thus make this com- munity as well as this country a better place to live in. Ukrainians might as well be {impartial to themselves and admit that many of them wasto altogether too much time, energy and printing paper drguing and quarreling about po- litical happenings in the old ~oun- try, whereas they owe it to them. selves, their children and their adopted country to think of Can. ada first." Other speakers were Nicholas Mech and Peter Kostur, At the close of the meeting twonty-five men declared their in- tontion of applying for naturaliza- tion and left their names and ad. dresses with the committee. The committee is very enthusi. astic about its work and is deter mined to get at least one hun- dred applicants.

The 1926 Conference The Balfour rcport which came before the 1926 conference was of paramount importance making the Dominions autonomous units equal in status, freely associated in the British Commonwealth of Nations. Owing to lack of time the lec turcr was only able to touch brietr- ly upon thé last conference, point. ing out that Premier Bennett's trade offer had not been regarded by authorities in Britain as of much value. In conclusion Professor stressed that of the three main fssues, the conferencés have al. ready settled defence and politi. cal relations. 1t remains for a future conference to reach an eco- nomic settlement, Jones GOVERNMENT UPHELD Winnipeg, Jan. 30.--~Premier John Bracken's government late yesterday won its first victory in the three-day-old session of the Manitoba Legislature, DON'T OVERFEED With an abundance of low priced coarse grains and wheat available there is an apparent tendency on the part of farmers to overfeed their market hogs. This is shown by the increase in the average weight of hogs now coming onto the market, The two hundred pound hog is the ideal market weight A, A. MacMillan, Chief of the Sheep and Swine Division of the Federal Department of Agrls culture, points out. With tie price of lard what it is today, relatively lower than the price of bacon, it is- the bacon type which means money to the producer. Farmers should watch hog feeding closely to guard against both light weight and excess fat--he must keep away from the out-weight grades if he is going to get the top of the market for his hogs. When Jenkins called upon his friend Edwards, he was surprised to find him alone, "Oh," he exclaimed, "I suppose the wife has gone to the cinema." "No," returned Edwards.
