After F. W. Watkinson had fin- Ished speaking about the so-called "Canadian offer" he was asked a question as to who were the prin- ¢ipals behind the alleged propos- als, Col, Grierson belug the ques- tioner, ' "The Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario is one of them," was the bland reply of Mr. Watkinson. This was immediately challeng- od by Ernest Dixon, who sald that Hon. W. D. Ross, the lelutenant- governor, had no connection what- soever with the Milner-Ross Com- pany, to which reference was he- ing made. '""The Lieutenant-Gov- ernor has no interest in this com- pany," sald Mr. Dixon, "although his son is one of the principals and I defy you to prove it." Tactics of Deception Used By Gas Bylaws' Opposition Revealed in Striking Manner "Oh well, it's all in the family, anyway," sald Mr, Watkinson. Soon afterwards there was cone firmation of Mr. Dixon's assertion, After Mr. Mason had spoken, Mr. Dixon rose to make a statement, and sald: "1 have just been talking to W. D, Ross, Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, on long distance tele phone, and he stated to me em- phatically that he har nothing to do with the offer for the Oshawa gas plant, that he is not interest- ed in it in any way, and is not in- terested in the firm making the alleged offer. This statement can be corroborated by Chief of Police Friend, who was listening to the 8lepnone conversation on another ne." This telling exposure of the tac- ties of the opposition to the gas plant deal made a strong impres- ston on the audience, which loud- ly applauded Mr. Dizon's state- ment, ; Endorsation by the Hydro-Elec- trie Power Commission of On- tario of the attitude of the Pub- Ife Utilities Commission and the city council In seeking to dispose of the Oshawa gas plant and dis- tribution system to Ben, E, Tate and his assoclates is contained in a letter received by City Clerk Hare this morning from W, W. Pope, secretary of the provincial commission. The letter only con- firms the statements of the local commission that eonsiderable ex- penditures would he necessary to place the plant on a proper operat. ing basis, but also reiterates the fact that considerable economies can be effected by the establish- ment of a distribution system serving a number of communities along the Lake Ontario shore. The letter from Mr, Pope reads as follows: , "Mr, ¥, E. Hare, City Clerk, Oshawa, Ont, "'Dear Bir, 1 have been request- ed to write your council stating what the commission's attitude is with regard to the city selling the gas plant, recently purchased from the commission, to private inter- onts, "In this eonmnection I wish to state that if the city council con- Hyd1o-Electric Commission Endorses The Attitude of Local Utilities Commission slders that your citizens can obtain better gas service and cheaper rates by disposing of the plant to private interests, the commis. slon has no objection whatever to your council taking any steps which you may consider advisable, in order to obtain this condition. The commission belleves, however, that the existing gas plant has been and is being operated in the most economical manner possible with a plant of this nature, with- out the expenditure of consider. able additional capital to improve the plant, "We are advised, however, that the proposed purchasers of the Oshawa gas plant and negotiating for the purchase and installation of gas plants in other municipali- ties in the Central Ontario dis- trict, and propose {installing a large central plant supplying gas to these various municipalities through pipe lines, instead of con- tinuing to operate a number of small, individual plants, If this proposed arrangement can be care ried through, the company may be able to effect considerable econ- omies in service not now possible from the small existing gas plants, "Yours truly, - "W.

E. Tate, of Chicago, who has been the central poiut in the dis- cussion of the proposed sale of the Oshawa gas plant, on which the peo ple of Oshawa will vote Saturday, appeared last night before a packed city council chamber and explained the attitude of himself and of the Utilities Power and Light Corpora= tion, of which he is a vice-president, towards the deal. Oshawa presented an interesting gituation for a coking plant, for the 1I.P.L, officials helieved that Osh awa had a bright future. "We feel that it could easily be larger than Hamilton, he sald. The coking plant to be established here would be a real by-product plant. There were plants of this type in Montreal, Win. nipeg and Hamilton, but even Tore onto did not have such a complete by-product plant as was proposed here.
