Pictured above is a group of Clarke Township residents who attended the opening session on M1onday evening at the H. J. Hobbs school in Hampton when Ontario Hydro presented their alternatives for the 500 KVA transmission OPEN LETIER TO THE CITIZENS 0F CLARKE TOWNSHIP It is certain thatan electri- cal power route will go through the Township of Clarke. There is no doubt that the urgent need for the power exists. Since new power sour- ces are imminent along the Lakeshore, it is unrealistic to line from Lennox to Oshawa. proposais. The audience was The session continued from not ready to accept every Monday niight to Tuesday word from Hydro with the morning, afternoon and even- resuît there were some heated ing., The school auditorium discrod as well as humourous was filled to capacity with outbreaks., plenty of audience participat- (Photo courtesy Canadian ion in the discussion of the, Statesman) suggest that a power corridor should go north of Clarke. Wherever the lines are located people will be disturbed and individuals will suffer loss. However there are sound technical reasons 'why the chosen corridor should be as far south as possible. 1. Industry will increase wherever the facilities are available. Lake Ontario, the railways, and now electrical power in quantity are these facilities. Line losses ('2 R losses) are reduced. to a minimum when the electrcial load is near the power source. The weather plays an im- portant part in the smooth operation of an electrical system. Wind, electrical storms and icing are among the most important. The risk of adverse, weather in the north route is much greater because of the higher altitude (400 - 500 Mt. With high winds and icing conditions, shorter spans and increased tensile strength of conductors and structural steel should be considered. Should icing occur the possibility of removing it thermally is increased on a southerly route. Patrol, either by motor vehicle or helicopter is simpler and safer in areas of llttle ice and low wind velocity. 3. When building a power route of this capacity the cost is important. But it is still more important that when the lines are bult, they do the job intended. The stability of the entire system depends on the reliability of its component parts. . Having taken part in the operation of H.E.P.C. electr- ical systems for twenty years, through good weather and bad, 1 feel that 1 know many of the problems involved. It is my opinion that the adminis- trators, engineers, and techn- icians are the best qualified to decide- where this major power route should go. Sincerely, R.D.

According to local, politic- ians there have been no citizen complaints or reason for a plebecite to change the name in the regional elections Oct. 1. The origin of the name came from the provincial legislation which created the Regional Municipality of Durham. The legislation gave a, tentative name to each of the eight municipalities within the new region which will come into effect Jan. 1, 1974. The new Scugog Township will include the Village of Port Perry, and the Townships of Reach, Cartwright, as well as the exisiting Township of Secgwg.
