Farmers meet to discuss proposed hydro line A.M. and P.M. Wood Grain MANTEL RADIO'S ONLY NOW $ 9 .95 LW* iie,lottlOn Of, E STEREOS PORTABL `ALSO AT PRICES TO CLEAR (ay, Keith Roulston) The first meeting between the committee representing far- mers in the path of a proposed hydro line from Douglas Point to Seaforth and Ontario Hydro took place Thursday and a spokesman for the farmers called the Hydro negotiators 1,a tough bunch of hombres". George Underwood, R.R.1, Wingham told the regular meet- ing of the Huron County Feder- ation of Agriculture in Clinton Thursday night that the biggest problem is trying to e xpl a in to people not directly affected by the proposed line what is really happening. He said there is general apathy about the project and sited an editorial in an area newspaper which spoke of what a good public relations job Ontario Hydro had done and compared it with the bungling of the Canadian Pacific Railway in connection with the dump near Harriston. However, Mr. Underwood said, although Ontario Hydro talked about three different pro- posed routes for the line, only one had ever been discussed in public. There was a feeling among the negotiating committee he said, that the 940 foot wide swath the utility proposes will not be big enough and that it is just the beginning of power lines which will carve up the st farmland in the area. He expressed the need for greater planning for Ontario Hydro and other bodies to make sure poor farm land is used for utility corridors whenever pos- sible instead of good land and to ,seek ways to use the same corridors for multiple uses such as new highways. He warned that people must become aware that not onlythose in the oath of the line are affec- ted, bui_everyone. our land- scape that is being used" he said. He said people had to stand up and let Hydro know that "fit's our land" and we want some say in how it is used. The meeting passed a resolution to the OFA that the OFA ask the government for an independent feasibility study of the route of the line and all future power routes.
