(iOO To-.al 5.475 Up To Owen Sound In the course of an interview with ihe Owen Sound Times E. F. Ewpmiehiud engineer of the Hydro- Electric Commis- sion, said : "We have put a clen cut proposition up to the town, and if Hiey are going to do business with the hydro-electric com- mission we will require t." have a reply to our "il T at an early itnte f</r the rea- son that the commission desires to gut busy on the dt'vulepctneut of the Eugenia Falls at us oarly u date as pos-ible." So declared Mr. F. F. Einenehied, Iho en- gineer of the commission last cvenini* in the course of an interview with The. Timns. The times has come when the town of Owen Sound will be required to <;ive a ilch'mle answer t In- proposals of the Ontaiio hydro eleciric-coiiiniission.

Being asked to outline the situation in a brief wiv. Mr. Espen- chied said:--" You know Uiat the com- mission h*s taken an option on the Eugenia K.-ills, .ind that the Inking of that option wns the result of the drsiro of the commission to serve the the town of Owun Sound i in i the adjacent part of tho country with the hydro power. \"<>u know further that the plan contemplates the fu'ure linking up of thn Owen Sound line with the great central lines running from Niagara, the heait of the hydro system. Also the Maitland r'ver lines aud possibly tho Severn lints wou'd all be joined in . no great continuous band of encry to supply all the western part it the | rovirce. The development, of the Kir MM, 1 1 proposition depend* alto- gether on what is done by Owen Sound. If they do not wish to have power at cost there is not enough other points take power to n ,A'i it worth while to develop the falls, an I in this oasn the option i li.v h'ls bien taken would probably be allow- ev to lapse. And if Owen Sound docd want the hydro power the lime for them to say so has come. Let the commission kyow that they mean business. If they eo the commission is prepared, to begin the work of developing the requited power .tt once.' 1 The failure to carry Local Option in Lindsay was to a larffe extent due to the placing on the li*ts of a numbir of recent arrivals in the townr on the s'renth of their "incomes."
