ii If i* SUtoottte "TRUTH BEFORE FAVOR." " PBlA 7 CIPLEb NOT- MEN.' 701 33 No. :38 Flesherton, Ont., Thursday April 16, 1914 W. H TECRSTON aud !! O , B. Power Co. Will Get Release lieeve McKenzte, Oleric Bellamy, Councillor Alex. Camen-n and their so- licitor, Mr. Henry, we* iu Toronto on Wednesday of last week interviewing the Georgian Bay Power C. to see if some- thing could not be save<l for the town- ship out of the change of proprietorship in the Eugenia faHs ponur. The meeting with the secretary of the company, their solicitor and the presi- dent, Mr. Hogg, took p'ace at the office of the Hydro-Electric Commission in the Confederation Life building, and occu- pied moat of Wednesday. The utfairj of the company were laid bare to the dele- gation, and to say the least were not ery satisfactory. The company had liabilities to the extent of $140,000, this including a mortgage of $-0,000 to one tin . As the sale to the Commission is i r less thato half the indebtedness or $00,000, it means t fter the mort- gage is paid off there will remain but $40,000 left to reimburse the bon J hold- ers, representing about 28 or 30 per cent, of their investment. Eugenia was not u money-maker for the bondholders. Although the township will receive nothing more than this year's taxes and what has already been paid, the officials figutc that the township will be consid- erably in pocket . Previous to taking hold of the development the property involved was assessed at about J5000. For four years past, according to the agieement, tho p.openy has been as- *fhsed at 340,000. There has been a delay of several month* by the Commission in taking up the option, awaiting a clearance from the township of tho covenant; entered into by the The Georgian Bay Pwwer Co. This clearance, it is claimed, had never been asked for by the company and the township council was unaware that it was necessary '> give such a document. As a result of the delegation's visit to Toronto lha Georgian Bay Power Co. have agreed pay the taxes on the l-H; 1 . uuscssmeiit amounting to 'ibout 9> r >40. and clearance papers will be supplied them immediately upon payment of that amount. The matter was discussed at a epoe'al meeting uf the Council on Saturday .i'lil the above otter accepted.
