McFarlane, in opening his ad- dress. "When the question of consolida- tion was approached, there 'were some who felt that the offices should have been moved to the City Build- ings. This was impossible, because In the entire quarters of the. Bank of British North~ America, which we were requested to occupy, there was not in their whole building, nearly the floor space that there is on this ground floor alone. Hence, to occupy this portion of the city office was im- possible. "The question of expenditure has been raised, and on this point, let me say most emphatically, that this entire transaction not: only carries, but in a short time will pay for itself. The maintenance and up-keep of the two offices naturally increased our operating costs, and in this division alone, I point to the fact, with par. ticular Interest, when I say most de- finitely that by this amalgamation, we camhfrom now on, effect a saving of $1,500 per annum in office wages alone, 'As a municipal enterprise and as servants of the public, we realize that service in every departmend is most essential. Only by the united aid and co-operation of best individ- ual effort can ultimate success ever hope to be 'attained. We, as com- missioners, after careful investiga- tion, erected these offices with that thought in mind--to consolidate our entire working staff, executive, ac- counting, operation and distribution, so that all information is available under the one roof. "The commission has put forth its best efforts to furnish the citizens with an efficient up-to-the-minute service, made possible by the com- pletion of the new office which is greatly honored to-day by the pres- ence of Sir Adam Beck, the most | outstanding man in the hydro de- { velopment in the world to-day--one, | {ho by his untiring energy, vision and strong personality, has placed the province of Ontario in the envi- able position which it holds to-day, as a power producing country, equals led by few and excelled by none." Sir ASum Beck's Address. In his opening remarks, Sir Adam Beck stated that he considered it a great honor to be invitéd to come to Kingston, "It is the most important city we have business dealings with in connection with the hydro electric power project between Toronto and! Cornwall," he added. "I am glad to be able to be present at the opening | of this building, which must be a source of great pride to you. If there Is one thing that public ownership has done, it is to stimulate publie pride and efficiency in the various communities where these enterprises are located," Sir Adqn remarked that it was now eight" years since he had first had the honor of taking up the ques- tion of electrical power with the authorities in Kingston and here the speaker remarked that in all cases in which he was engaged in spreading propaganda for electrical supply, it had to undertake more or less of a controversal character. The qugstion was raised as to the ability of the organization to cope with the enter- prise and the ability of the organiza- tion to make predictions with the as- surance that they would materialize in time. The commission had been thoroughly investigated. The speak- er referred to the Gregory report. The commission had been justified in the expenditure of large sums of money. Everything in connection with the work of the commission had 'heen ald bare and not ome charge of wrong doing had been attached to any member of the association. ¥ Sir Adam stated that f 'was one for co! BANQUET TO At the Frontenac Hotel Was a Splen- did Event. | The dinner at the Hotel Fronté- nac on Friday evening tendered to Sir Adam Beck, was a splendid af- fair. Some one hundred sat down. The guests were largely composed of the members of the Utilities Com- | midsion, Board of Trade, city coun- { cil, board of education and similar bodies, including the officials of each. The mayors of Picton and Ga- Jnanoque were also present. A fine orchestra and a Scotch vocalist, Mr. Marshall, gave acceptable service. The menu, provided by Marie Host Hughes, was of the richest charac- ter. ~ It was the general opinion that | a finer spread had not been provided in years, and demonstrated that the hotel was capable of the choicest of service. The toast to "The King" was the only one offefed. The whole event . was a feast of delight. On hig arrival in the city on Fri- 'day dfternoonm, Sir Adam Beck was met hy Mayor Angrove and the members of the Public Utilities Com- mission and taken to the Utilities building, where he made 3 thorough inspection and expressed himself as being well leased.
