The Foodland Hydro committee, a group of about 1200 landowners from Southwestern Ontario and Energy Probe of Toronto want. to prove the proposal to get power out of BNPD isn't necessary. "We want to question whether there is a '`'deed to build," said Foodland Hydro representative Tony McQuail of R.R. 1, Lucknow. The joint hearings board, chaired by R.B: Eisen, is listening to evidence on Ontario Hydro's proposal to construct transmission lines from Bruce to Essa (near Barrie), from Bruce to London through Huron Coun- ty and from London to 'the Nanticoke generating station on Lake Erie. Both Energy Probe and the Foodland Hydro cgmmittee are bringing in some heavyweights to back up their statements. The two groups presented their direct evidence on Day 24 (Jan. 23) of the hearings being held at a hotel in Guelph.
