Under the third alternative. the Munici- pllity would have complete control of the system froui‘the point of-generatiun to the Customers’ service connections. This would place all matters relating to the cost of power entirely under the cc‘mtrol of the Municipality. It would also relieve the Municipality 0f contract restrictions which might prove. onerous ifthe Municipal market retained its present characteristics. Under the fizst two schemes 3 low load factor would have the effect of penalizing the generating company, and compensation would have to be provided for in the Cost of power and in the terms and conditions of the Corr tract. Ifthe Municipality owned the gener_ ating plant, the effect of a low load-factor would be shifted back one step to the water supply, which'WOuld entail no penalty, and consequently nu pecuniary compensation or contract restriction. Another important point to consider is that 'n nuning the transmission line and distri- bution system, the Municipality will rcqmre the expenditure of considerable sums annual‘y for maintenance andayearly sinking fund appropriation to hold the system at its pres. ent value. It' the gancrating plant is purchased, the Municipa'ity ui:l have, in it t h: n ls a consta tly depreciating asset which will have, in the power site and water lights, an appreciating as>et, the increasing value of which will gOu long tsay towari balancing the shrinkage in value ut‘ the depreciating pu;tion of the system. reasonable hope of doing this as the line is at present an integral pan 0! a- very profitable gaingconcem. The apprecianon in value of the power site is due to two causes; first. because the constantly increasing cost of fue‘: generated power makes all hy- draulic power sites relatively more valuable; secondly, bzcacse the storage works in the Trent River watershed are b:ing constantly enlarged and im- proved and the resulting increase in luv water flow become; nwze apxzarent year by year. As a result, the water powers on the Trent \‘allty Canal System, of which that at Fenelon lalls is one, ,ecome more valua'n‘ e )ear by year, and the best obtainaltl e regu '3.- tion of flow has not yet been realized by any means. Power Company, provided they can be purchased for a figure within reason, and to consider the other two aiter- natives only on condition that unsur- mountabie difficulties arise in carrying on the negotiations for complete pur- chase. In View of the above. it shcuid re- quire no further argument to prove that the best plan for the Municipality to {0 low is to acquire the entire plant and rights of the Lindsay Light. Heal Up to the present time the plant has never suft‘cred from shortage of water, and when the regulation ot. the upper waters has reached a maximum of efficaency, the dependable flow may reasonably be assumed to be in the neighborhood of 1000 second feet, of which about 750 second-feet could he used by the Power Company under its lease Und:ra head of 26 feet, this would generate r775 hydraulic horse- power. and as there is about 5 sq. miles of storage area tributary to the head- works, the plant would easily carry 2000 h. r. or moxe on peak load.
