Toronto, April 5.--An important bill, introduced hy Premier Ferguson in the legislature yesterday after- noon, proposes to amalgamate all the hydro power interests at Niag- ara into one unit for administrative purposes, At present there have fy. been three units, the Ontario Power Company and the Electrical Devel- opment Company, both of which were purchased by the Hydro, and the hydro development built by the commission itself. The premier said that bringing them together, would reduce the overhead and prevent overlapping. The difficulty of taking this action sooner had been a deben- ture delt of ¥4,000,000 against the | on foot Ontario Power Company. The gov- ernment, by guaranteeing these deb- entures, had got rid of the difficulty. Hon. James Lyons got second reading for a bill to tax {mprove- | ments in unorganized territory. The act is to get revenue from summer hotels and resorts conducted in Northern Ontario. Several members thought they could see a clash between Ontario and the Department of Justice at Ottawa in Hon, Charles McCrea's bill establishing a mining court for On- tario, The minister said that the jurisdiction of the mining commis sioner after patents had been lssued had been questioned, and he propos-| street. ed to make the commissioner's body : a court and ask Ottawa for approval, , Becond reading was also given the bill providing for larger subsidies for township roads and also giving such municipalities greater rights of ex- propriating gravel pits. Hon. W. FE, Nickle introduced a bill to put the incorporation of insurance companies under the provincial secretary. He informed the house that the admin- istration of the Insurance Act would remain with the Attorney-General's Department. .

Govern- ment to Use Every Effort in Restraint. Toronto, April 6.--f'he Ontario Legislature yesterday afternoon un- animously passed a resolution pro- posed by F. H. Keefer, Port Arthur, that "this House respectfully urge upon the Government of the Do- 'minion of Canada to use every means within its power with the United States to restrain the city of Chic- ago from illegal and improper diver- sion of water from the international waters, in which Canads, and par- ticularly Ontario, are so vitally in- terested," and further, 'that this legislature also recommends that the Government of Canada shoula request the Government of the Un- ited Stales to take and exercise cOn- trol of the works which permit of any diversion at Chicago, instead of Fallowing same to be under the jurisdiction of ome interested part) only." Premier Ferguson heartily sup- ported the resolution, as did W. BE, N. Sinclair for the Liberal Party and Hon. Beniah Bowman for the U:F.0. Mr. Keefer said that the original agreement permitted of 4, 000 feet per second to be allowed for the Chicago drainage canal, "Now 10,000 feet per second is be- ing used, and Canada has allowed the matter to drag along without a great protest," sald Mr. Keefer, add- ing that there was no blame to be at- tached to Ottawa, which was pro- testing vigorously now. The resolu- tion 'by the Legislature was simply to strengthen the band of the Do- minion Government. "We must publish from the house tops our grievance.

Mann- ing 'Doherty stated last night that fthe convention of the Ontario Pro- gressive party will be held in To ronto on June 6th next. At this meeting it is expected that Mr. Doherty will relinquish the leadership of the party in the On- tario legislature, Mr. Doherty, when he took the leadership in January last, said then that he would hold It for this session only. He has not changed his mind In that respect, he sald last night: At thé time Mr. Doherty accepted the temporary leadership, it was un- derstood Mr. Drury would be chos- en permanent leader at the June convention. : time, in later life, - million a year was being made out of it, "There are better systeme of sewage disposal to-day than by dilu- tion with water, as Chicago is do- ing," said Mr. Keefer. "But they are developing 40,000 to 650,000 horsepower with the water. That same water run to Niagara would produce 300,000 horse power and 200,000 more on the St. Lawrence. We are asked to sacrifice 500,000 horsepower for 50,000 horse-power in Illinois, which is wanton waste. We must help the Dominion Govern 1 | ment un pressing upon -4he Unit ed Btates Government the sugges- tion that it should keep its own un- ruly child in order, stop this water pilfering, and keep from violating in- ternational treaties. Chicago could well instal a sewage disposal plant as Toronto has done. Mr. Sinclair sald the matter was of vital importance, and thought the legislature could well pass the re- solution to stimulate pulyic opinion 80 that the welfare of the country and the province could be properly protected. The prime minister said the leg- islature could well give the matte, attention in view of the fact that vital decisions were pending at Washington on the matter. He was ordinarily opposed to making reso. lutions to pass on to the federal Government, but the importance on this subject justified the action. He was willing to see that Ontario had a representative at Ottawa to assist the federal authorities. "This action of Chicago, if continued, would de- stroy the greatest inland waterway in the world, and the great channel (of commerce for both United States and Canada' eaid the premier, "It we reduce water transportation it puts us more at the mercy of the railways.

Mason went away from this city on Tuesday, Mgrch 25th go- ling from here to London where he remained until he- joined Matthews in Detroit. 7 Both these men, it is felt,' have vital information which goes to the root of the whole inquiry proceed- ing in Queen's Park, as there has been no charge laid against either of them.
