Would Advance Rural Hydro During the heart-to-heart con- ference between Sir Adam Beck and the members of the Legis- lature a few evenings ago the Hydro Knight mentioned one of the chief difficulties in the way of extending electric service to the rural sections at a reasonable cost If the Hydro people send a gang of men to erect a out a rural power line it is usually necessary to secure board for these men in a neighboring town because farmers, with help in their households as scarce as it is, very properly refuse to bur- den their wives with the ad- ditional task of feeding and lodg- ing a construction gang. When this gang secures lodging in a village the time taken in going to and from the lodging place is cut out of a short day of eight hours. Thus two very consider- able items ware Added to con- struction costs-- expensive hotel fare and the time lost in going to and from the scene of oper- ations, As a relief from this situation Sir Adam Beck suggested that farmers along a route in which selves dig 'the holes for poles. They could also haul the poles, put them in place, ahd in some cases provide the poles and assist in stringing the wires. In this way the cash cost at least and even the actual cost as Juegered § in time, could be great- educed Y ihe suggestion {s deserving of serious consideration by farmers desiring Hydro service. --Globe Coming Dr. F.
