[Wingham Advance -Times Photo] ' Should cancel nuclear boiler BY MURRAY GAUNT Ontario Hydro should consider cancelling _ • a $38 million boiler contract for the Darling- ton nuclear power plant and calling for new tenders, said 'Jim Bradley, MPP (St. Cathar- '' ines) in the Legislature this week. • He said he . favours the Cancellation _ because of problerns with other nuclear boilers built by Babcock Wilcox Canada Ltd. "In light of the Many difficUlties involved with the work performed by B & W to this point, and in light of the financial commit - Merits that may 1?e involved in final agreements concerning these problems, one has to wonder whether the coMpany has the capability to carry out the work on Darling- ton," Mr. Bradley stated. he made the comments after voting for a motion before the Legislature's standing committee on resources to criticize Hydro for failing;. to provide details last July on problems with boilers Supplied for the Bruce A generating station. Hydro's executive vice-president (opera- tions); testified . that during a previous . appearance he had not disclosed problems involving stress levelsin boiler drum welds • ' because it it was thought the problems had been Solved. He said it was only in September . that newanalyses led Atomic • Energy of Canada Ltd.- to suggest a new review of streas levels in the Bruce boilers. A task force was set up and Hydro announced • October 16th that electrical output of 'the • four Bruce A utxits?as being cut while the review was under way. */' f The PrOvincial Treasurer Ls acknow- ledged that over the past three years Ontario has been entitled to almost $500 Million in equalization payments. However, the Prov- ince has no intention' of taking the money, and it's not becausethe government is too proud. • Under the present equalization formula, Ontario is technically entitled to the money, • but the Treasurer added: "According to. the • principle for which equalization payments were established, Ontario; in the philosoph- ical sense, is not entitled to receiVe them, since our per capita incomes are well above the national average.": Liberal Finance Critic, David Peterson, MPP. (London Centre) said the philosophy underlying the equalization formula is not to equalize per -capita income but to equalize provincial revenues.' He demanded to know why 'Ontario has net taken the money and whether it was because of pride. The Minister of 1ducation has announced the appointment of a three-man , commission to study the lawgiving teachers, the right to strike. This commission will hold . public hearings on the four-year-old School Boards and 'Teachers Collective 'Bargaining Act; more .commonly known as Bill 100; Opposition Members attacked the Ministr er for refusing to make .public an internal ministry review 'of Bill 100 s which led to, . creation of the coinmission. She stated- that the review, completed last summer, would be given to the commission, which could make it public when their report was released. • " ...000174 ,say: The legal matter BY DOROTHY SIMPSON CHILLDRENS AID SOCIETY - The coUrt has the final sty in any matter concerning plateMent and wardship of the child.
