T'hc courtly- c.uueil finished the busi- ness of the June version on Friday afternoon and adjourned until Lk-- ceen�M Fallowing is a continuation of last week's report of the pioceediogs : In discussiog the communication from the Hydro -electric 1-ommieeion regarding Maitland River power, Reeve Leckie remarked that the Cone initiator) gave the members of the deputation that went to Toronto the impression that the count had. in the opinion of the Commission, a power that was well worth developing. Mr. Leckie added also that before much further progress could be inside the outs available site would have to he secured, and an option on this pr•op- erty was now held by J. W. Moyes,. president of the Ontario West Shore Railway. Just what difficulties might be encountered were not certain, Mr. Leckie concluded. The report was then discussed in committee. Reeve Sturdy, of Gode- rich township, made it clear that be war opposed to the project. "I should like to know," he demanded, "why tbie committee should involve this county in the affair? Who wants the power? Do the towns and villages throughout the county of Huron want it? It they do, why don't they asset the county and not leave it all to the county to assume ? Ido not see," be continued, "why the county council should mature these responsibilities." Reeve Leckie pointed out that the prop>sition could not very well he dis- mimed until further details were at band. Whatever it would curt to peo- dune the power, the consumers would get it at Dost price. Reeve Greig, of $eafortb. said he was more than pleased with the recep- tion tendered the committee at Tor- onto.- He believed ,That Mr. Sturdy was a little premolars with the abate- ment that no oneswented this power. Tbe development of. it would be foe the general welfare of the county. One reason why be supported it was• that be felt the development of this electrioal energy would benefit the surrounding country as well ae the towns and villages. Every intelligent farmer would be able to utili elec- tricity to advantage. He was quite satisfied that when the scheme was submitted it would „appeal to every member of the council. Reeve Hill, of kily-tb, was of the opinion that little could be done until the report of the Hydro electric Oom- miseion was received. He added that it a farmer could be shown that be could pump his water for 50 cents, when it now costa him $2.00, it would be approved of by everyone. Reeve Taylor. of Exeter, also pointed out that the proposition could not he discussed intelligently until the report was received from the Commis - .ion. A motion pas made by Messrs. Muooiogs and Taylor that the report 1 the eomn.ittee be received and that the ewe committee cpntinue to gather inform.t'on on the subject. This was carried.
