Naturally those municpal- ities stogd to benefit most wbich lay adjacent to the big power projects or aiong the path of the bigli tension lines to thie.big cities of Toronto and Hamilton. These places have been. securing power at a low cost, rtnning as low as ý$14.50 ln the city of Toron- to, and affecting tremiendous savings to the usera of powVer, as weil as of residential heat andliglit. 1Cities, towns, villages and farmers f-arther, inland or outside the zone are geziouaiy handicapped in the mattor, of electice service, not only iu the matter of rates butiln the actual sup- plY Of any power at ail te them. This situation, and the apparent-in- justices of t4e case, have been pub- lished persistently by Farmers' Mag- 1azine from time to time. Public opin- ion was so generally concerned over the prohibitive- rates being quoted by the Hydro Commission, as weIL as by 1the dilatorness of the commission to make any real effort to carry their power lines to other points, that the 1Legisiature' appointed a com.mission 1.consisting of-Messrs. J. G. Lethbridge and W. H. Casselman, U.F.O. mem- bers of Middlesex and Dundas Coun- ties respectively, with J. R. Cooke, Conservative Member for Hastings; John O'Neill, 'a Liberai Member for Toronto; and-F. H. Greenlaw, Labor 1representative from St. Catharines, to 1inquire into -te whole situation of Hydro distribution. These men spent conscienticus time 1on the'lnqulry and broughtin f an ex- haustive report, which lias been prînt- ed for some time,, but w.,hich report lias not been discussed fully iu the Legisiature. Now, at the ciosing hours of a long session, a bill is being introduced whicli will embody the principles laid down in titis report, althougit the colt- clusions and recomàmendations may not all be accepted. But'the principle of the tax must be accepted. Briefly, this commission proposèd, a $2 per horsepower tax on ail power produced by the -provincial water powers, th.is tax te go into a fund to be-used for the extension of Hydro transmission lines into the municipal- ities clamoring for the privileges. These proposais were: Small Cities and Towns Helped. lst.
