Store; The Fenclou Falls Gazette Friday, J one 9th, 1911 The Power Proposition. (From the Lindsay Post.) One of our correspondents recently raised the question of the amount of power that Lindsay would secure by the proposed purchase of the electric plant at Fenelon Falls. The Post has been fortunate enough to secure a copy of a report made on this water ,ower at an early date and previous to i s be- coming a matter of discussion. T he re- port in question, copy of which is on file at our office, was prepared by Dr. Gal- braith and Charles Marx, Esq, C. E. for the Smith Estate, Port Hope, which at the time was taking suit against the Government for damages consequent-up- on the construction of the Canal. Dr. Galbraith is well known as the Head of the School of Applied Science in Toron- to, and is generally regarded as the most reliable and conservative member of his profession that there is in the province. The conclusion arrived at in the re- port, which is very lengthy, is that a total horse-power of 1567 can be secured at Fenolon Falls; but that the amount secured will probably not be more than 1145, on account of the diversion of the waters to operate the Trent Canal East and West from Balsam lake The full ef- fect of this diversion, of course, will not be felt until the canal is completed from ' Lake Simcoe to theGeorgi‘an Bay. According to this report, Lindsay is, therefore, fairly sure to obtain 11-16ths of 1145 horse-power. or about 800 horse- power in all as the result of the pur- chase. instead of the 1175 horse-power promised us by the report of the H5 dro- Electrie Commission. The discrepancy in these figures from those arrived at by the eminent authorities who made he report for Smith Estate, is so seri- ous that it appears to us that the engin- eers of the I-Iydro-Eleetric Commission have possibly over-estimated the flow of the river and have over-looked the .‘ ultimate diversion of water toward Lake Simcoc by the Canal. It might be wise for the council to obtain the Opinion of 3: independent engineers upon this difficult technical question. .lf'Dr. Galbraith and his associates. are right, it wo‘uld be -,sheer waste of money. to enlarge present .; plant at Fenclon' Falls, as there will be no water to operate a larger plant, and power in Lindsay will cost about $35 -, per h.-p., in contrast with power at $15 (in Peterborough. - The citizens are invited to come in and peruse this report, which contains :gmost interesting data of great import. ,i Shocking Death of John McGillivray. Residents of Fenelon Falls were great- ,ly shocked on Saturday afternoon when éthe news reached here of the sudden (loath of Mr. John McGillivary, who liv- ed here for some years before going to .:Lindsay, and was well and favorably lgknown in the community. The follow- .oeased was employed as a millwright. He worked in the Howry Bros.’ sawmill, and was looked upon as a most capable workman. In 1899 he accepted a posi- tion with the Light, Heat & Power Co., and constructed theline from Fenelon‘to Lindsay. His eleven years’ service with the company were marked by a faithful- ness of duty combined with a thorough knowledge of the important work as- signed to him. The company had in him a valuable ollicial, whose place it will be extremely dihicult to fill at the present time. “ Jack ” was a. whole-souled, good natured citizen, and was held in the highest estimation by all who knew him. He was a man of good character, kind to his family and aged father, to whom the sympathy of the entire community goes out in their hour of sorrow. The late Mr. McGillivray is survived by his wife, (who was Miss Elizabeth Wright, of Fenelon Falls,) two daught- ers, May and Gertrude, and his aged father, Neil McGillivray. He was a member of Faithful Brethren Lodge A. F. & A. M., Lindsay Lodge 1. O. O. F., and the curling club. He was a valua- ble member of the fire brigade, holding the position of lieutenant in that organ- ization. In religion he was a Methodist, being a member of the Queen-st. Metho- dist church. The funeral of the deceas- ed was conducted by Faithful Brethren Lodge A. F. & A. M., and was largely at: tended by the citizens. Funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. James Wallace, W. M. of Faithful Breth- ren Lodge, after which the cortege pro- ceceed to the G. T. R. station, whence the remains were taken to Fcnelon Falls for interment. The members of the fire brigade all marched from the famil y res- idence to the station. At Fenclon Falls the Freemasons of Spry Lodge joined the Lindsay brethren. The remains were taken to St Andrew’s Church, and from there to the Fenelon Falls cemetery, where the burial service was conducted by Mr. J. B. Begg, l). D. G. M ., of Lind- say, assistcd by W. Bro.E. Fitzgerald and the Rev. Dre. C. S. Lord, of Fenelon Falls. The funeral was largely attend- ed by a large number of friends of the deceased, who regret his untimely and tragic death. Women’s lnstitdidMeeting. The annual meeting of the Women’s Institute was held on June 3rd, in Dick- son’s Hall. The President opened the meeting in the usual way, after which those present were favored with- a. piano solo by Miss Tilly Patten. The Presi- dent then introduced Mrs. Lett, who is to Domestic Science graduate and teach- er of the McDonald Institute and who proved quite capable of doing justice to the subject chosen, namely, “ Woman's Influence in a Community.” Some of the points brought out were that everyone exerts an influence, and is therefore responsible for his or her own actions, which should be pure, gentle, sincere and true, and that if the 16,000 W. I. woman of Ontario are true to their .Inotto “ Home and Country,” what an in- fluence for good they must exert in their respective communities. Spacewill not permit of giving anything like jus- tice to Mrs.Lett’s excellentlecture. We hope ‘to hear her again in the near future. \ Avocal solo by Mrs. C. Stod- dard was well received. The President in rising to introduce Mrs. Farley, in- ,dorsed most heartily all that Mrs. Lett "had said in regard to women's ability to manage in church work and otherwise, and for example referred to the W. F. M. Society, where it had been proven that women could successfully finance. Mrs. Farley then spoke, and; said she was pleased to see the way the meeting here 'was opened, that our Maker was recogâ€" nized first in all things, by opening the meeting with prayer instead of singing. She thenI gave a very practical talk on “Helps over Hard Places. in the Householc,” and also gave some good recipes to lighten labor in the home. A ‘ successful meeting was then brought to .a. close by singing the national anthem. 'ng account from the Post gives the pa r- . iiculars of Mr. McGillivray's tragic ,end. . A deplorable accident occurred on Saturday afternoon, about 230 o’clock, when Mr. John McGillivray, foreman of the Lindsay Light, Heat and Power 00., met an untimely death by being electro- cuted on the top of a pole near the cor- ner of Kent and Angeline-sts, and oppo-. site the Ross Hospital. The unfortunate man and his helper, Mr.Ranson,were installing transformers. He was working on the pole, and had the guy wire wound twice around it, _,leaving a long end, which turned over "and grounded on the cable. Mr. McGil- livray was killed instantly, and it is es- timated that about a thousand volts passed through his body. Ransom, who was working in a tree nearby, thought he heard a groan, and, looking towards McGillivray, noticed the unfortunate 'man dangling in death. He immediately ‘threw himself from the tree, hoping to render what assisunce he could, but Mc- ,_Gillivray had slipped down the pole to ,within fifteen feet of the ground. Ran- son released the lifeless body by loosen- {ing the belt, and, after placing it on the ground, summoned several nurses from the hospital, as well as Drs. Brown and Blanchard (coroner.) There was not the faintest sign of life, and a burn (about the size of a fifty-cent piece) on the right; wrist, a few inches from the el- bow, told the story of the tragic death. ,The‘ remains were removed to Anderson & Nugent’s, undertakers, and later on were taken to the family residence on William-st. The news of the distressing accident spread like wildfire through "the town, and evoked expressions of the sincerest regret on all sides. No citizen, perhaps, was better known than Mr. Mc- . ‘Gillivray, and it was some time before .people realized the truthfof the affair.- The late Mr.-MOGi'lliivray was born in. Mariposa about forty-five years ago, and was a son of Mr. Neil McGillivray, who resided with him. The family afterwards moved to Fenclou Falls, where the dc- ‘ Works a t Ottawa . Eenelon Falls Does not Want to Lose This Tax. When the Hydroâ€"Electric Power Com- mission opened“ negotiations with. the town of Lindsay, Fenelon F-alls citizens became aware of the fact that the carry- ing out of the proposition involvedythe possibility of- the village losing the ’taxes that have been collected on the Lindsay Light, Heat and Power Com- pany's plant since its installation. Hon. Adam Beck and Hon. W. J. Hanna were at once communicaterk with, and Dr. Sims, Reeve, and- W‘. T; J unkin, Clerk, interviewed the Minister of Public The latter haswrit- ten the town of Lindsay as follows : To the Mayor of Lindsay :â€" Dear Sir,â€"-chterday I was waited on by a deputation composed of the recve and clerk of the village of Fenelon Falls. They protest against the power com- pany at that point being allowed to transfer its rights tothc town of Lindsay for two reasons. First-it will deprive Fenelon~ Falls at any time hereafter from securing power which issatr its door. Second it will probably result in losing some thirteen hundred dollars in taxes. The lease from this department to the company - provides that the company must pay the taxes imposed by Fenclon Falls. It would be a great hardship on a municipality of its size if it were de- prived of this amountof annual revenue, which it has been rec iving and which it had every right to think it would continue-to receive. Yours truly, MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS. Ottawa, May 18, 1911; The Watchman-Warder, ,referringto i the matter,'says .: : Mayor Deal states that'he has tele- graphed a. reply stating that the council had not met to decide on. this, but the. town was inclined to treat Fenelon Falls right. All the members were of the opinion that the village should be treat- ed right, and if the bylaw is passed are _ of the opinion that matters can be arranged satisfactorily. Personal. Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

On account of a heavy Windstorm Mr... Montizamhert had to return to Lindsay with his new launch the Chiquita, a few days ago, after getting as far as Pleasant Point. He has since brought the launch up, and has made several trips The. Chiquita is making very satisfactory time, is a verv handsome boat and is: in every way a credit to her builder,Mm Perrin.. The Thief is being fitted with a ‘20" h. pengine by Mr. Perrin. Extra. rib- bing is being put in, and the launch otherwise strengthened to stand. the. added strain. _ A new propeller has been put on the Wacouta a trifle lighter than the old one} which was a little too easy for the engine.
