T. Culvm and Frank M. Field, of Cobourg, were in Toronto recently in connection with the lease of the Henley Falls water power ac- quired -from the government about two months ago. They expeCt to proceed under the charter of the Nor- thumberland-Durham Power CornL pany, with the development of 4400 horsepower there at an early date. The lease was granted at the request of twelve municipalities in the coun- ties concerned and is safeguarded ac- cording to recommendations made by the hydroâ€"electric commission. It is not the policy of the c 7 build power plants, but such a semi- public corporation as the Northumâ€" berland-Durham Company will enable the people of the district to be sup- ‘ ower at the most advan- period . ounce of power available must be developed. The eentals to be paid the government are 7-5 cents per horsepower for ten years, and $1 for the balance of the term. The lease covers both sides of the Falls and the bed of the river, with the what: company, but ternate portions of these on bank, which were purchased thirty years ago for lumbering purposes. It is hoped to acquire.these strips from the Dominion Government, but even without these, ‘a. head of 35 is avail- able at present. The officers and di- rectorate of the Henley Falls Com- pany include prominent business men of both sides of politics in the two counties. Sam. Nesbitt, Brighton, is president, and D. Ewing, mayor of Cobourg is secretaryâ€"World. _____._+__â€"â€"â€" MOTIIER’S ANXIETY The summer months are an anxious time for mothers because they are the most dangerous months of the year for young children.
