Mr. J. W. Ewen told the Chronicle some weeks ago. The water in the river has been too high to go ahead with the work without upen- sive cuerommm'mg, something not ens meets.

The plans. quite elaborate. are the work of Mr. George Hay. local draughtsman, and are a credit to his ability.

He emphasized that ithe municpialities own the hydro and 'that by its very high standard meth- ods had been built up to be an organ- ‘ization that stands pie-eminent on the continent and in the world. He said business principles had been applied land that the one thought was that of 'the creator of the system, Sir Adam (Beck, namely, power at cost. A vote of $10 was made to C. C.

He further stated that the mun- icipalities, through their executive, consulted and “never once has there been anything but a unanimous opin- ion, because we place everything bec fore them." “Some say autocratic." an allegation Mr. McGuire denied with great em- phasis as he referred to the matter of payment of the great bill for exchange, and argued against touching or deplet- ing in any way the reserve of 115 mil- lion dollars. As proof that the commission con- ducts the Hydro business on economi- cal and business-like link. Mr. Mc- Guire quoted figures to show that the town of Owen Sound had saved 9. tot- al of $2,349,676 since entering the sys- tem in 1916, and the town of Midland $2,821,489 since 1913. Criticism of the commission there was, Mr. McGuire admitted and to re- ply to all of it, a special organization, he said, would have to set up, but in closing he said, “everything is as solid as the rock of Gibraltar.” Mr. W. C. Pierdon, Chief Accountant of the Hydro commission gave much lvalued information respecting the book keeping and the system of accounting. He explained the best he could, in face of many interruptions, the matter of the borrowing of the interest and the exchange. The last of which he said was unforeseen. The exchange, it was estimated, would amount to one and a half million dollars. He also entered upon an explanation of the annual adjustment out of which comes the detested “thirteenth” power bills. Mr. Pierdon also went into the matter of capital expenditures of the Georgian Bay system, in regard to which there are, he said. no bonds, the money hav- im: been borrowed.

Ontario Government Cuts Expenditures Spending: Drop Oved Four Million; in Ten Maximâ€"Government Fulfilling Pledge For Economy. In the ten months of the fiscal year that have elapsed since the Henry Gov- ernment pledged itself to a drastic e- conomy programme in departmental expenditures, an actual decrease in all but two departments was effected, a- mounting in all to $4,101,649. This was revealed this week by Hon. E. A. Dunlop, provincial treasurer, who eXpressed gratification over the fact that the Government's promise to re- duce departmental expenditures by 34,- 500,000 in 1932 will have been carried out before the remaining two months of the fiscal year are ended. In the matter of provincial revenues however, the provincial treasurer was not able to paint a bright picture. With the exception of motor vehicle license, fees, the gasoline tax and the recently-3 imposed wine tax, every source of pro- lific revenue in the past has dwindled to an alarming state. The provincial treasurer, while declining to name the approximate deficit for the year, ex- pects a decrease of $1,250,000 in suc- cession duties, $2,000,000 in liquor con- trol board earnings and between $2, 000, - 000 and $3. 000. 000 from the lands and forests department. These are the main sources; others will also be in the red. it was stated. The average decrease in government revenues will be between 15 and 20 per cent. Hon. Mr. Dunlap stated. The only two departments showing an increase in ordinary expenditures are the Attorney- -General's department and the department of northern devel- Opment. The increase in the former was $91,394. but in this amount is included the $356,890 which was paid to the city of Toronto, being the return of fines iniposed on Solloway, Mills. etc.. with interest in accordance with the recent judgment of the Privy Council. Had it not been for this unforeseen exâ€" penditure the Attorney-Generals de- partment would have shown a saving {this year as compared with last of [ $265,495.

Mr. Dunlop. “The savings in the controllable ordinary expenditure of the province as outlined in the bud- get statement. of last session will be .fairly well lived up to, practically every idepartment of the Government show- ling a decrease in expenditure as com- ‘pared with a similar period of last year!’ ONTARIO WILL AID CATTLE PURCHASE Ontario Farmers Will Be Loaned Money to Purchase Western Cattle For Feeding Purposes. Arrangements have been completed by Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, with the Canadian Bank- ers’ Association whereby farmers de- siring to buy Western feeder cattle may borrow money at six per cent interest. In making this announcement Col. Kennedy stated that there was abund- ance of cattle feed in Ontario but the farmers lack the money to buy the an- imals. Printed application forms are being sent out to every branch in On- tario .and farmers wishing to availl Ithemselves of the opportunity of bar-i rowing money must fill out the form. This form will [then be sent on to W.J. Neely of the Department of Agricul- ture, who is supervising the export of cattle to Ontario from the western provinces. The scheme is expected to provide the needed impetus towards rehabili- tating the livestock industry in Ontario. Western Canada possesses the cattle but not the feed. Mr. Neely has left for Winnipeg to alect the best feeder cattle for shipment to Ontario. Last year a similar plan was attempted on a smaller scale, but owing to lack of information comparatively few farmers I participated.
