They have 60.000 km). of developed electrical anergy for sale. There is not a great deal of manufacturing in this part of the Province, so it behooves this Con:- pany to secure consumers of their power. To do this they are willing to come here and operate the Sylvester Mfg. Co.’s plant provided they get prrm-ission to sell light and power to the citizens of Lindsay. They are wil- ling to buy the present power plant, and franchise, or operate under an in- dependent franchise ' in opposi- tion to the, present Company. MR. McCOMB systematizing‘engineer, was the first speaker. He said the committee had teen disappointed in the John Deer Co. order, becausé certain peculiar conditions in the implement business, and the Deer Company’s relations with another drill manufacturer. Negotiations were next commenced with the International Harvester Co. but an order trom‘them would require a lot more money than he thought the town could. raise. The reason for the need of additional Capital was because the International Har- vester Co. would require more drills. The meetiag halal in the Council} Chamber last night to discuss the propositian cf the Electric Develop- ment 00., or, as it is called, in this district, the Sentral Ontario .. Power 00., was very well attended by the ‘ influential citizens of the town. Mr. ' Jas. Boxall, Chairman of the Sylves- ter Committee. acted as Chairman of the‘meeting. He said the meeting was called to consider the proposition put forward by the Central Ontario Powâ€" er Co., regarding the Sylvester Mfg. Co. .0” CENTRAL ONT ARiO POWER C0.

I knew they had money to invest, and I also knew this terri- tory well enough'te know flat they would have to back up concerns that would use power. A boad many of you would" like to see Lindsay own her own (1 ctric plant. This is all right, but did you ever stop to consider what it really means to operate and maintain an isol;t-d power plant, especially when you have it after making a. very large investment. I know what it . means. I am interested in a plant to- day where we are getting power at an extremely low cost, $9.50 per h. p. This is because we have no invest- m:nt in the plant, but we are depen- dent on this on: plant alone, and subject to all the physical risks of consequental breakdown and shut- down and if we could buy from a power company having a number of plants we would shut don-.1 this iso- lated plant to-morrow, and we Would do thLS if we had to pay $18 per h.p. or practicaily what it is costing us now. Again you can readily underâ€" stand that the power business is like- any other manufacturing business ~â€" 1 you can do it cheaper on a whole- sale scale than you can in a single isolated plant. ‘A numter of years ago I was called or. to reorganize and consolidate a gas and electric nlant and my investigation the-n showed that after the first ten years of the life of the plant the electriCal gener- ating part and the transmission and distributing system had to be renew. ed every ten years.

Ashnld, Superintendent of 6 Grand Trunk telegraphs, Montreal, ‘last night at the Queen’s Hotel that the company would adopt. in the near ;future, the despatching of trains by . telephone over its entire system, Bis- ~ placing the telegrapg for this purpose l The company has had two tei‘e- x phone‘circuits in operation during the 3 past eighteen months, and these have [given entire satisfaction. These cir- .cuits embrace the northern division : with one despntcher, from North ’Parkdale to Burlington Junction via ‘ Aliandale, a distance of 140 miles and 'the division irom Aliandale to North ; Bay, a distance at 165 miles. with one despatcher. Mr. Ashald also estimates that the telephone saves .50 per cent over the telegraph in time. In issuing orders over the telephone, the numera‘s are first giwn and then spelled om “We' use a copper metallic circuit said Mr. Ashald, “havinq two Wires of No. 9 gauge of hard ground copper Each wire weighs 210 pounds. per mile, It costs 75 per Cent more than the telegraph to install. but the railways consider it so much superior to the telegraph that they readily adopt the telephone.” A special teleâ€" phone will be used. A rough estimate of the post of in- stalling the system and placing it in operation 18 3105:; mile. Th’s will bring the entire cast of ingtallation for the System to be $500,000, The entire system of the railway totals ,a/boue 4,700 miles. and the teleâ€" phone despatching department will include 31 cu‘cuits. The same num- ber of operators will be requ'red as in the present telegraph service. Mr. Ashald said that the telephone system was much suuerior to the telegraph, and in flexibility of operation it was consrdered much safer.
