Widespread interest is developi
in regard to the power situation
Oodericb. There are many ezpr
Bions of appreciatioo of The Sign
articles on the question, and there
evident a desire to give the wh
matter more careful and tbarou
consideration than has been given
the past.
Y'be Signal ie welt aware that its a
titude is
open to
iso
P• misunderstand'
taadt
and misrepresentation. There ar
still some who do not understand th
in opposing the making of a contrite
for Niagara power (except temporari
and with stringent safeguards),T
Signal is not fighting against c11e
power, but is fighting for it.
The Signal (,pposes Niagara pow
because it is NOT cheap piwer f
Goderich, and because a contract f
Niagara pewee might easily be an o
etacie to the securing of cheap pow
by the development of the Maitlau
River
ng i mission should make a contract with
in 'the electrical railways running
es I through the various municipalities.
al's iThe same principle will apply to the
is l Goderich-Kincardine Railway."ole Is it not clear that the contract, and
gh not offhand promises that may be
1n withdrawn in a tete day,, will decide
I the tern). and conditions with
t- f which the town will bind itself ? Is it
v I
g not, then, the part of wisdom to see
e the contract and discuss it thoroughly
at before committing the town to it.?
t We know from the experience of
IY Stratford that Mr. Beck believes in
hs making tt municipality live up to its A-
AP ligation.. Stratford found its con-
tract with the Commission was block-
er ing plane for an electric railway for
o the city, and a strong deputation
or went to Mr. Beck and asked that the
b- city be relieved from the cbstructing
er clause. Mr. Beck emphatically de -
d c1ined, stating that if tltratforti's con-
tract were amended other muoicipali-
1tiagan a power is all right for p ac
like Hamilton, Brantford, Galt an
other points within reasonable di
tante of Niagara,. hut, as one of th
engineer* of the Hydro -electric Com
mission stated recently. this town id
too far away from the source of sup.
ply to make it an economical proposi-
tion for Goderich. Even if it were
cheaper than the power now used
locally, it would not he good basin:•so
W accept it in lieu of Maitland River
power, which will assuredly he much
cheaper still. There should, thea, be nu
carelessness or laxness on tbe part ••f
the civic authorities such, as might
burden the town with a contract for
power which it does . not want and
prevent the securing of the Power that
it doe. want.
Our local contemporary, which is
willing to take 'anything from the
Hydro -electric Commission with its
eyes abut, thinks such caution is un-
necessary. It said last week:
es tie would ask for changes in their
d contracts, or 1$ nal Hydro -electric estimate, but
which was cannily eliminated from
will be made to develop fifty h. p.
when the projected improvements/an
completed. Thewer at present doer
not cost the proprietor $6 per MIAOW
after the first expense of placing the
turbines and damming the stream bas
been met.
"The general impression here is that
the horsepower possible from damming
up the Maitland River at the Black
Hole with its sixty-flve feet head has
been much under -estimated and that
there is really more power there than
the engineers have reported. The
objection baa been all along that dur-
ing the dry season there might be a
scarcity of water, hut we who have
lived tong near the tanks of the river
at Beomiller can testify that there is
always a good-sized mutton passing
under the bridge, and if the flow is
lessened by percolation through the
riverbed before it reaches the Maitland
bridge
L
•
Goderich K h t
hat is
no reason
why the power from the high head at
the Black Hole should not besufcient
to supply all the power you might
re juire fop the tows of Goderich."
COST OF STRAY POWER.
Some Highly Exaggerated Estimates
Have Been Gives.
•
The Stratford Beacon says :
One of the grossest pieces of misrepre-
sentation that have marked the agita-
tion fir Hydro-e'e Incipower has been
in the estimating of curt of producing
power by steam. it was freely stated
on the Stratford platform, that steam
power coats from len to $100 per
horsepower, and this was contrasted
with a charge of 227.301 per b. p., the
• Goderich will be hound by its con- the second bylaw. We have cow the
e statement of Dr. Haenel, the ro .::
tract, nut by promises .or fancied
promisee,.
Our contemporat y conveuientl
overlooks The Signal's statement an it
issue of October 17th :
"Just here let us remark that our
contemporary, The Signal, seems to
fear a trap in the event of the Mayor
signing a contract for power without
an express stipulation therein that the
Maitland. River scheme will go on.
This is not only an unnecessary fear,
but is not flattering to the intelligence
of the people or Goderich or the
honesty and public integrity of the
Commission with whom we are deal -
in;(. They have said as plain as words
could make it., • When 760 horse-
power is contracted for by Goderich,
we will extend the line from Seatorth
to supply It ; when 1500 horsepower
ie signed for by Goderich _or any
other combination of municipalities,
we will begin the work of developing
the Maitland River scheme.' That, is
definite enough for anyone gamble of
an ordinary business transaction, and
there* ne need of seeing ghosts, as in
The Signal's precautionary advice.",
Where is the guarantee that "when
1600 horsepower is 'signed for by
Goderich orany other combination of
municipalities the Commission will
begin tbe work of developing the
Maitland River scheme" ? Perhaps
this is what Mr. Beck said at Toronto
on the 9th of October; but what Mr.
Beck ie on record as stating is : "The
advisability of developing power on
the Maitland depends entirely upon
the quantity that can be used in the
Huron district." Somewhat different.
isn't it ?
Hoo. ler. Beck or the Power Com-
mission is not to be bound, and does
not expect to be bound. by an offhand
statement made in convert,ation, and
such statements are no guarantee to
the town.
On September 33rd the Commis-
sion's representatives then in Gode-
rich stated that the Niagara power
Noe would he extended from Seafortb
to Goderieh and that power from this
line would be supplied to Goderich at
the pries of Maitland Rivet power.
On October Ilth Hoe. Arias Beck
stated that the price of power from
this the would be at the Niagara
power pekes -fifty per neat. higher
than formerly quoted.
On October 9th Mr. Beck told t4 -is
mueieipal eapreseetetiv.s that tae

teem eowwefl of 6oderieb etati.R that
alt le thought adjieable that the Osee-
Y
e
"The Signal ha* 00 intention of
queelioning Mr. Beck's good faith -let
that he clearly understood. The point
it wishes to snake is that what Mr.
Beck say', or what the Commission
says. but does not put in the contract,
will not lessen in the slightest degree
any obligation to which the t'iwn
pledges itself. Mr. Beck may be out
of politics within thirty days -the
contract !esti for thirty years. The
personnel and the policy of the Com
mission may change at any time, and
any contract entered into may be
interpreted at any time without
reference to anything but the exact
terms which it is found to contain."
The Star seews to imagine there is
some la"k of courtesy to the Commis-
sion in asking for safeguards. What
about the discourtesy of the Commis-
sion toward& the town in asking that
the municipality hind itself with a
thirty years' contract ? If one party to
the agreen►eni is to be bound, why not
the other? And if the Star is to
jea'ous for the honor of the Hydro-elec,
trig Com mission, w b y ehoutd it attempt
to cast doubt upon the honor of tbe
Mayor of this town, who has given
hie word that any contract will
submitted to the vote of the ratepayers
before be will sign it ? The Star's
insistence that Mayor Reid should
sign the contract as soon aa it is
received implies its belief that His
Worship *not a man of his word. We
believe it will not be long before The
Star will find out that Mayor Reid has
his own standard of honor,

ion Ciovernnuent expert, that even in
wool unite steam pciwer from cool
does not cost more than $3ti pet. b. p.
for 3,000 hours -a working -day year of
ten home prr day. When the fact
that exhaust strain is used to heat di
factory or building for six months of
the Canadian year, thereby saving
coal, is taken into aeconnt, the actual
cost of steem power is reduced.one-half.
Henee t he content ion of Mr. McLeod
of the McLeod Milling Co. und Wm.
Preston of tile Stratford Mill Building
Co. that the cost of etearn power wee
grosely exaggerated vtantis. Mr. Mc-
Leod informs The Beacon that the cost
of steam power ID his i11 Es is only
psr h. p. for twente•four-hour
service for the working year of 300
days, with $10.95 for the ten-hour
working day. and these tieuree do not
include any allowance for heatinig.
Hence it will be seen that Hydro-
electric power at $35 or even 4.T..4 per
h. p. is an extravagant expenditttre,
especially for factories using it only
tor the ten-hour 'working day. No
wonder the Stratford manufacturers
do not use it.
Dissatisfaction in Many Quarters.
Mitchell Recorder of last week :
Dissatisfaction with the rates
charged for power by the Ontario
Hydro -electric Commission le being
expressed in many quarters. In St.
Thomas the aldermen say they will
defy the Coinrnission and make their
own regulations with respect to the
ratter to their customers. In fit.
Marys the new schedule of rates re-
duces the charge per horsepower from
233 to Elari, hut this does oot seem to
be satiefactory. The St. Marys Argue
says : "Time was when St. Marys
looked forward to a rate of V29.50 per
horsepower, but that prophecy ap-
pears to hay e been a delusion and a
snare." It was understood that when
375 horsepower wee used by the town
the rate would be 1P29.60, but recently
when the St. Marys officials notified
the Commiesion that they were pre-
pared to une the 376 horsepower at
that price no refill' was received and
the new snahr of rate. is flied at 1135.
In Brantfcrd • campaign is being
waged in which the cry is being umd. '
"Cut your electric light bill in two."
Thbt cry was heard when the question
was before the electors of Mitchell a
couple of years ago, but although they
carried the bylaw the promised redmo
tion has not taken place.
