About 12 years ago Burleigh Power éwas acquired by Mr. Culverwell and 'a franchise given to bring power to Lindsay. He was unfortunate and was unable to carry out his scheme. Mr. .Culverw-ell was the first man in the fprovince who first saw the value of ielectric power, and was the first man fto recognize the value of Fenelon fiFalls power, but it was hard for Ehim to secure capital. Mr. McLaugh-‘ 51in said he was possibly the only {man who remained his friend. Some .50: his friends seemed to think that now hewas making money out of him. Mr.Culverwe11 stuck to that gbe‘ ref that in the near future we ;would be able to utilize the powers ' mentioned to transmit power to this gtown. Mr. Culverwell a year and a half ago handed the enterprises mm- and now the Electric Power Co. has taken over a controlling interest in the powers. This company is fin- , anced by Montreal capitalists and they are now supply power in Camp- bellford, Madoc, Sterling, Tweed and other places. The Hydro-Electric Com- mission investigated the Trent Pow- :ers and recommended united action iby one system of transmission. That {report is the foundation on which the iElec‘tric Power Co. is based. The last company Mr. McLaughlin acted for was the Central Ontario Power Co., and when closing the deal with the Electric Company he told Mr. Kerry that he kept tab on Burleigh Falls power for the purpose of bring- ing power to Lindsay. Mr. Kerry said it wasa difficult matter. There was a local company there and there was The citizens of the Town of Lind- ‘say have been during all these i years paying considerable higher light ‘rate than they should. Higher, I believe, and much higher than other i RE LIGHT RATES . l I readily agreed to have this company build a. line to this town. Mr. Mc- Laughlin then instanced a number of contracts the company could secure in towns of this district. By coming to Lindsay they wouldhaVe to enter into competition with the local com- pany. He had no desire to destroy in- dustries, but he felt that they could induce industries to locate in the town who would use power. A great deal of nonsense was talked about the proposed franchise. u lin talked up the pomibili-ties, and said there were several enterprises be- ing res-organized in that town, and if their company became interested in the undertakings they might probably secure power contracts. Mr. Kerry was the admirable address on the power question by Mr. R. J. McLaughlin, K.C., of Toronto. That gentleman had a fund of information on the power situation as it affected the Trent District, and gave interest- ing stat stics regarding the capabili- ties of the different water powers and plants in the district. Representing as he did, the Electric Power Com- pany, which was seeking the franchise and in which he had not a dollar in- vested, he very ably, and in a concise manner, explained the history of this cornpany, what it proposed doing. in this district, as well as the rates it would give for power should the company obtain the privilege of stringing their wires in Lindsay. The programme of the new company, he pointed out, was a broad and pro- gressive one. its main object being to try and induce industries to locate in the Trent district, to which they could dispose of their power on a very reasonable basis “You cannot get any industry to start here which is under the liabili- ty of going out the next day. The grant ng of this franchise does not prevent you from acquiring power from the north country. If the Elec- tric Power Co. builds its line here you will not have to pay a dollar but on the contrary, a saving will be efiected. no demand for power. Besides, it would be too expensive to transmit power from Peterboro. Mr. McLaughâ€" towns in the vicinity. They have been practically paying the same rates that towns with' no water power connection.

Electric in Toronto and London, that is, if any person so desires, the Company instead of charging as the present Company does a meter rate of 9 and% per kilowat or of 8 cents as is mentioned in the pro posed bylaw to charge a monthly rate of 10¢. a room, and a meter rate of of 3c. per kilowat, that is if a person has an eight-roamed house, he would pay $9.60 a year room rate and a little less than one-third of his present light bill as ameter rate. If his present light bill averages $2. 00 amonth or $24. 00 a year this would reduce it to $17.60. This would be expecially ad- vantageous to people who use a great deal of light. All the extra light they require over and above the average would cost them only 3c. per kilowat. It will also enable the people to use electric current for cooking in the summer months. Electric current for this purpose would only cost them 3c. per kilo- wat. less than one-third of the local Company’s rates. The Company are willing that this option should be inserted in the contract with the town. One manufacturer in a neighboring town not nearly so large an Lindsay has applied to the Company to con- tract to deliver him 1,500 h.p. The best figure the local company could name for a purchase price was $300,000. He believed the town should pay a fair price for the plant with a fair profit to the company. We are asked to pay an annual price equiva- lent to $32 a h.p. ' Mr. McLaughlin warned the local company at. one time, and told them they had not a monopoly of‘power, and warned them that wires would be strung from Pet- erboro. They thought he was blufling. The blufi has since been called, and the result was a reduction of $50,000 in the purchase price. Mr. McLaughâ€" lin said $250,000 was too high a price for Fenelon Falls power. The power was sufficient for our present condi- tions. but if we withed to expand we must develop greater power than is available there. The highest minimum flow of power at Fenelon Falls during dry season is 48,000 cubic feet a minute. The locâ€" al company own about 1,100 h.p. and can only give about 1000 h.p. to the town. The storage dams in the north would give very little additional pow- er. Ahout 800 h.p. is at present de- livered and sold to local comapny. If you bought this plant it does not settle the matter. If the town wished to secure industries it would have to develop more power from some other source. For the additional power you require, the best thing to do is to make connections with the Electric Power Co. There will be no discrim- ination in the Trent district as re- gards rates. To build a power line here with a sub-station would cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. There will be no distinction, the rates charged being subject to the control of the Railway Commission. Mr. Mc- Laughli‘n said the Company expected to have 80 h,p. at its disposal, but at present there was only a market for 25 h.p. An industrial dept. would be started with the object in view of inducing industries to {locate in the Trent district in order to develop the 50,000 h.p. The company will do its best to secure the industries, in com- petition against the' Niagara penin- sula. The country has room for the Trent district to become a great manufacturing centre, as was evi- denced by the marvellous growth of *the Great West. GEO. A. JORDAN. Who has retired from tne fight, for The Reeveship. Mr. McLaughlin then emphasized Lindsay’s splendid advantages and ideal conditions. With plenty of power there is no reason, he said, why it should not become a great manufac- turing centre. The greatest guarantee of cheap power from the Electric Power Company is the amount of h.p. at its disposal. Campbemord was inâ€" THE LINDSAY POST Mr. McLaughlin answered several important questions asked by citizens present regarding several phases of the proposed franchise. HYORO ELECTRIC OFFICIAL Mr. Yeates, of the Hydro Electric Commission, a'ddressed the meeting, and gave very interesting information on the powers of the comission. This ‘ body was anxious to assist municipal- : ities to secure cheap power, and as far as Lindsay was concerned, it' was 1 prepared to give very assistance al- ong this line. Mr. Yeates said that he 1 had interviewed the local company as . well as the members of the Power Committee, and had learned about local conditions. A great deal had been said at the meeting about the situation in Toronto. It was the same all over Ontario. where plants are run by a company. All were try- ing to get away from private owner- ship. There were several utilities in every municipality that were natural- ly monopolies, and they should be controlled. The Hydro Electric was anxious to help the town and would make a valuation of the local com- pany’s property if the town so desir- ed or buy the pow-er ata fair pr ce from the company, or any other com- pany, for that matter. The Commis‘ sion will take care of the town, it the town so desires, and the cost will be borne by the province. There 1should be no hurry, he said, for some jtime, and he would suggest putting the proposed franchise aside fer three months, and the Hydro Electric Com- :mission would .assist in drawing up a 1franchise suitable to all. However, he was not predared to say the pres- ‘ent franchise was not a good one. BY-LAW WITHDRAWN. A resolution was then put to the meeting and carried, that the vote on the proposed power franchise be postponed until the Hydro-Electric Cammission reports on the same. VOTE OF THANKS Mr. McLaughlin was the recipient of a hearty vote of thanks from the meeting for the unselfish and untiring ninterests he was manifesting on be- Ihalf of the town. Mr. G. H. Hopkins. K.C., in a legthy address, criticized the proâ€" posed franchise, as it was at present drafted, and suggested securing the services of a competent engineer to act in connection with the drawing up of such an important proposition. stanced as a town that had gone ahead as a result of the deaelopment of power by the Electric Power Co., and Mr McLaughlin read an artiicle from Tuesday's Globe, showing what cheap power had done in the mining section of Hastings county, all being brought about by the Electric Power 00., who supplied the power. The am- ount of horse power controlled and used by the Electric Company has in- creased in this district to seven or eight thousand horse power in two years. The company was satisfied to leave the question of rates to arbitra- tion or Board of Railway Commis- sioners. This company did not want to come here unless it received the hearty co-operation of the Council and the “Board of Trade to secure in- dustries. This town had been anxious to get Burleigh Falls power here. The power it would get would be Bur- leigh Falls and Auburn power. Mr. McLaughlin always helped every enterprise that tended to the ad- vancement and upbuilding of the town, and always was anxionx to help the town, irrespective of any question of politics or any other con- sideration. The reason the Electric Power Company is anxious to locate here is to try and induce industries to come here and use the company's power. They had no desire to drive the local company out of existence. 1 CULVERWELL MORTGAGE 1 Mr. Culverwell next gave an inter- esting account of the history of the celebrated Culverwell mortgage, and it was pointed out thatit was prac- tically useless as no contract had ever been executed. In return for the dis- charge of the mortgage the tGWn had received $2000 worth of stock in the new company, which would be paying ahanésome dividend in a short time.

DIAZ’S TRGGPS BEATEH LONG EXPLANATION A Galieian Girl is Thanked by Queen Mother Alexandria Winnipeg, Dec. 27.â€"There is a proud little Galician girl at Jarema school, northeast of Saltooats, Sash. She sent recently to the Queen Mother a picture of the Queen laboriously done in pencil and colored with crayon. Instead of investing the Queen with the British royal robes she has clothed her in the national costume of Galicia. The drawing was seen by the inspector of schools for the district, A. H. Ball, who sent it to Hon. Sidney Greville together with a letter descriptive of the work amongst the Galicians. The following letter was receved in reply: “Buckingham Palace, 3lst Oct., 1910. “Dear Sir,â€"â€"-I have had the honor of submitting your letter and the draw- ings of the little Galician girl to Queen Alexandra. I am desired by her Ma- jesty to thank you for sending it and to say how pleased she is with the kind thought of the little girl in sketching her portrait. Would you kindly express to her Queen Alexan- dra’s thanks and also her wish that she should continue to work in the way that she has already begun. “I am, sir, faithfully yours, “(Signed) SIDNEY GREVILLE."
