J tress The adoption of Niagara Power will increase the tax rate, will place Go9lerich in a hopeless position as regards industrial growth,nd will give us no better, if of worse, rates for lighting than we have now. If'in doubt vote against the power bylaw. Should circumstances later on show the advisability of adopting the proposition, the bylaw can easily be submitted again. On the other hand, once the bylaw is passed and the con- tract is signed, it binds the town hard and fast for thirty years. 'llseiiignel aisle the etateneant last week that rue tax rate would be lo - ceased 1f .the Niapsra pores! tars:position were adopted. Purposely no at- tempt was made to figure out the difference in the town finances, until the re- port of the water and light commission for 1912 should be publiiihed, with the names of Chairman llluruey, Commissioner Chrystal and Mayor Reid signed toit. Now we have the signatures of the commisew ten to the statement Which shows as follows : In the twelve months December 15, 1911, to December 15, 191.2, the com- mlmion paid to the town in cold cash, from the profits of the so-called ••juok- bsap" at the harbor, the sum of $6,500. This amount went to relieve the tax- payers.. power plant did the town water ,camping and street lighting amount- ing to $2,647.39 ; but the town was not asked to pay the recount. There is an °Meet to this in the debenture. for water and light capital account paid by the town, to the amount of $7,420.91. It may be argued that this otteet will be 000tinued, but itis open to doubt whether the new Hydro Commission when it assumes control will agree to take charge of these debentures. There is no doubt that the town will have to pay over to the Hydro Coannission the amount of the town pumping and lighting accounts, w that in any cane there will be an additional $1,2110 to be provided for out of town funds. Besides these suras, last year the town plant contributed to the extent of $1,236.06 to the military camp account. Deduct from this $600 received from the Dominion Government and we have $7119.06. `Thus we have : Cash handed over to town.... .. .. 16,600.00 Difference between street lighting and pumping account, $8,647.32 and debenture account., $7,426,91........ 1,217.41 Military camp account .'i 731.08 $7,468.47 This means that Dune will be, as a result of the adoption of the Niagara power oaptrect, the rum of $7.468.47 added to the burdens of the town tax - pa ere If the ramp is nut. held here this year the amount inay be reduced to $11,717.41. The *mount may actually be touch larger than this ; but $6,717.41 is the minimmm Those wbo appreciate the desperate condition of the town finances at the present time will realize how serious this added burden will be. IIsi the year ending December 31, 1911, the water and light p1 int paid in Odd clash to the town $4,500 (this includes $1,600 of the $o,500 for tbe' year •Sing December 15, 1912), and in addition did the town street lighting and prmptng, $8,709.65. and c ,attributed $1191.78 toward~ the military came sc. count. In the year ending December 31, 1910, the figures were: $2,288.1.2 in o•eh. and $8,423.72 for the town water and light account. There was an ex- penditure of $1,8111.94 on the sedimentation basin in 1910 ; so the commission did not have so much cash tohand over to the town. .. No juggling with figures can get away from the tact that the tax rates have been relieved by these large amounts year after year by the present town pleat. Under "Hydro' there can be no such relief -the town, se dis- abet from the Commission, will have to stand on its own feet financially and sic pay the street lighting and pumping bills. Stratford hands over to the Commission $12.000 as a lump sum annually tor street lighting, in addition to the charge for water service. At Seatorth the charge for lighting is so much per light -$15 for 100 -watt ilanp and 112 for 75 -watt lamps. We do not know, of coulee, exactly what the Commission will charge the ts own of Goderich for these services • but the amount will not likely be lees than is now charged (but not collected) by the present commission, namely, about $8,850 -and it may be more. So much for the town finances. Now what do the private consumers get? Private Lighting Charges Will Be Higher. At Seaforth, with "Hydro" power, tke charge for commercial and private lighting le tea (to) cants per thousand watts, as compared with nine (e) cents in. Godes - rick seder our present system, For Uuderich the "Hydro" peoole recommend another system of charging for private -lighting (possibly with the design of concealing the higher price). The new Hydro method would be to charge a floor space rate of four oent. per 100 deet.. per month, and atter that 4ic per 1000 watts. To compare this �h he rateanow charged in (iaterich we h ire taken three houses in the vicinity of Victoria and St. Davids streets for which the writer could- readNy pnooure the measurements.

A VOICE !MOM 11JTCHELL. THE ALTERNATIVE. The Signal has been trying to stow the people of Goderich where they will land if they adopt the Hydro pro- position. But what is yo r alternative? is asked. The Sig- nal does not consider itself an oracle, and does not presume to say what should be the alternative ; but there are several. Without any great expense we could put our present plant in good condition for domestic and street lighting pur- poses. There is no reason why we should not have day power from the present plant if the people want it. And Mr. Murney says the improved plan of street lighting can be had with no more expenditure of power than for our present antiquated lighting system. In this connection a few words about the Kelly estim- ate of $55,000. This is for a power plant to supply power to manufacturers. Nobody proposes to go into such a scheme ; but even if we did we could pay for it out of a few years' profits on our present plant. Very few people in town have realized what a money -making concern that old 'junk - heap" of ours has been. Another plan would be to dam the Maitland at some point nearer the town than the Black Hole and put in a power plant such as Orillia and other towns have. Being nearer town the expense of hauling material for the dam would be less. For low wager seasons, if necessary, the present steam plant could be Utilized. This has to be kept in working order in any cast', to satisfy the Fire Underwriters (a point, by the way, that is conveniently forgotten by the advocates of Hydro.), The capital charges would be very, much less than for the proposed big dam at the Black Hole; the whole thing would be directly in control of the town, and we could use it as we wished for the purpose of inducing manufacturers to locate here. Hydro power would not be here for a year at any rate if the contract were signed tomorrow. Is the town to be in dread all year of a breakdown at the powerhouse ? If the plant is in such had shape as some people say it is, some ex- penditure will have to be made on it immediately to tide us over the time of waiting for Hydro (if we contract for it.) A very little move would put it in shape for an indefinite time, during which the town could investigate, examine and discuss various alternative schemes. Is it not worth while making an earnest effort to do something for ourselves that will give us a chance to attract manufacturers ? The Hydro plan will tie us up for thirty years and during all this time we shall labor ander a per- manent handicap as compared with places nearier Niagara. GODER1CH HAS AN OPPORTUNITY WHICH IT WILL LOSE FOR OV1:R A QUARTER OF A CENTURY if it votes for the present power bylaw. A Letter from Mr. Murney. To THE RATEPAYERS, -As thele seems to be some misunderstanding about the bylaw to raise $36,0('0, I wish to explain that this money is for the purpose of re -modelling the water and lighting system and adding a power system in the town. Our plan for lighting is to place a 100.watt lamp at every cotner and one in centre of the long way of each block. The Square will be' lighted with ornamental poet/ of a cluster of three lights each, one on each corner and one in centre of escb block, making in all seventy-two lights on the Square, also eight lights around court house. Besides, there will be a power line from the plant to the different factories. This system dill enable any person in tower to have light and power on short notice. By doing away with the are system and chang- ing to incandescent system will take as more power than at the present time. Fpr eight months in the year the lights are not turned on until after six o'clock p. m., therefore this will enable us to sell power tor Len or twelve hpurs per day and then use for town lights all night, enabling us to derive two sources of revenue. At the price of Hydro is $37 per horsepower thin will enable us to sell to the rectories at a co6siderable reduction in this price and will give us our own lighting and pumping at a ( very cheap rate. One of the greatest benefits derived from electric power is in the induce- ment to manufacturers to establish a factory, as instead of waiting months to build in a boiler and engine at a big cwt, they ennld in a very few days install a motor with their 'hefting at practically very little cost, and also use the money thus saved in their bupineas. Mr. Pope, the secretary of the Hydro Commission, stated at Clinton that as soon as this district can take enough power to warrant the develop- ment of the Maitland It c.tteinly would go on at once. To tiring About this ooedition itis newesary to eonnect to the "Hydro" at present so as to Mild up snifictent htt.fne s to warrant these contentions. The cnannssioners state that it is e eesseary to base the "Hydro" eo}oected with the Maitland. as there will (at certain times of the year) be more power than we require. which will be transferred to other muni- cipalities to go to cheapen our power.

Mr. Murney tell. us of the fancy things that can be done with Hydro power in the way of using It for town purposes and reselling it to manufac- turers ata low rate. Why don't they do this at Stratford, for instance, where they have a better rate than Goderich it offered and where the manufacturers will not use Hydro ? -BD. SIGNAL. Advocates of the Hydro bylaw are telling around town that a two-thirds vote is necessary to carry it. The statement is untrue, and is made apparently to persuade:voters who op pose the bylaw to stay at home thinking that this would be as effec- tive as voting against It. A majority of the votes cast will carry or defeat the bylaw, and every voter who wante to deteat it moat poll his vote. At SL Msrye (much nearer Niagara than Ooderich) the rates for private and commercial lighting are consider- ably higher than in Ooderich, exeept that private users have an option of a metre rate .t 9 cents, exactly the same as the Ooderich rate. St. Marys pays tbsCoinmiesion seri per letup per year for arc lamps. , • Mr. Iteck quibbles overthe "contract price" for power. Thies (s, strictly speaking, no "contract prim." but the estimate accompanying the contract is commonly termed the "sontrct price." The editor of The 8t. lferye Journal (a Conservative paper) writ.. us : " Bt. Marys contracted for rMo h. p. at Ma - 60. As we have been using nothing like this amount the Oomstisaioa has charged us $118.00 per h. p. until re - wetly." Iron Stratford the "contract pries" was $97.10. The price Stratford actually pad was MOO until the revi- sion of rates a few weeks ago, when it was redeemed to MOO. There Is on donht that Goderich will have to pay mere than $E7 for its power, beeat,se it will not be able to take the 1.N amount contracted foe.
