Developpent lags in the eastern | Part of the province, but this is large- | ly due to our own backwardness. A writer in tire April number of Con- servation points out that while the increase in power development In | Canada in 1920 was substantial, in | many portions of the dominion new installations and development have not yet caught up with the ever-in- creasing demand for hydro-electric | energy. This is quite true. The pulp and paper industry, for instance, has because of its development attraoted the greatest attention during the past year, but a large number of Smaller industries and the ever-increasing | uses of electricity for power and do- mestic purposes, both in urban and | rural communities, are important factors in the increasing power des mand. While the total water-power | installation of the dominion at the | commencement of 1920 was some 2. 500,000 h.p., the ultimate capacity of undertakings will increase this total | by some 840,000 h.p. This figure in- cludes the 500,000 L.p. Chippawa de- velopment of the OntarioHydro-Elee- tric Power Commission. Additional | projects aggregating some 260,000 b. | P. are also under consideration. | The province of Ontario leads witl | some 650,000 h.p. in undertakings, | whigh are either under construction or completed; Quebec shows 140,000 B.p.; the maritime provinces, 30,000 | hp; Manitoba, 20,000 hp. Under- | takings which are projected for the near future aggregate some 200,000 hp. in Quebec; 15,000 ha. in On- tario and 20,000 bp. in maris time lgevinces, while one project aiono in British Columbia involves some 125,000 hip. Vaken ail in ail, it is a record of electrical develop- ment that leads the world, and one that Canada can point to with on) mendable pride. + ! i | fixed tax rate at; making one sail Toronto council thirty-three mills, eut in budget. or ET [ surging ranks THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG.

April rains are softly falling where they'll do the greatest good. April fields are brighter, greener, than they ever were before, and the grouchy man is meaner than the meanest kind of bore. One may grumble in Novem- ber when the winds are bleak and chill, one may knock in dour Decem- ber, when the snow is on the hill, but when April skies are glowing in the warmest tints of blue, smiles ocs- tatic should be showing on the whole blamed human crew. One may kick in sultry summer, sweating in the baking grad, when the long day is a hummer and the night is twice as bad, when the cloudless sky is brassy and the whole world pants with heat --oOne may then get pert and sassy, and denounce things and repeat. But when April, clothed in beauty, shows the finer curves of Spring, he is nutty It and galooty who declines to smile and sing. He is fit for foulest trea- ------ !
