thai a time would come when heriver simply could not keep pace with the demand fur hydro Less than years later his hunch was proven correct by Ihe addition of a engine By 1944 when Catedon sold out to Ontario Hydro engines counted for more than half ihe power output In 1946 Ontario Hydro closed the station largely because a small set up was quite uneconomical in comparison with the massive power plants When Ontario Hydro left the Sutton they took along all til the wood and equipment leaving he cement hulk that still stands today as a reminder of days gone by This landmark will be a point of
