Cooke on Thurs- day evening of the hydro power situation. The minister. who rep- resents the government on the On- tario Hydro-Elowtrir Commission, expressed the opinion that Eastern Ontario holds the key to future in- dustrial development of the pro- vince. although Up to the present time. the volume of power devel-} oped under public ownership is rel- atively small compared to that han- dled in W'estel'n Ontario, There was a significant. announeement which is taken to indicate expertation of a delinite arrangement in the. near future for power from the Ottawa. by ro-operation with Ulloher. The minister alluded to lack of favor- able reply from the federal govern- ment to a request made two years ago that the Hydro tlommission he. allowed to proceed with develop- ment. of the St. Lawrenee. and said: has no particular desire to get through at Easter; if there is any business to be done up to the first. of May or any other date, the gov- ernnwnt is prepared to see that it is lnnked after." w v - vw. -l vvu V l IIIID V.

Premier Ferguson on Tuesday reminded Mr. Sinclair that there is no absolute necessity of the House closing at flasher. "The government," he said, Hon. W. H. Price will bring down the public accounts and make his budget speech on Thursday, March it, and Premier Ferguson met the wishes of W. E. N.
