art of of Bruc+e power
corridor delayed by judge
Construction of a powze line
through Druce County .has been
delayed by a county court judge's
decision that Ontario Hydro can-
not take possession of land expro-
priated for the line until an ap-
peal of the expropriations has
been heard,
Judge P. S. MacKenzie last
week ruled in favor of eight land
owners who asked that posses-
sion be blocked until De. 31, by
which time the Ontario Supreme
Court divisional ; court should
have ruled on its legality. A
Wellington County judge handed
down a similar decision 10 days
earlier.
Ontario Hydro was to have
taken possession Aug. 2 of strips
of land on 214 properties along the
51 mile route of the line. The line
is to run from near the Bruce
nuclear power plant at Douglas
Point to a village near Orange-
ville.
It will pass through four coun-
ties and a group of 40 land owners
is opposing it through the county
courts and the divisional court.
The farmers argued that if
hydro is allowed to begin con-
struction as planned, they will
suffer damage and their case be-
fore the divisional court will be
prejudiced. The appeal will be
more difficult, they said, if major
sections of the line are built by
the time it gets to court.
Hydro officials claimed a' delay
would cost the province millions
of dollars. The first Bruce station
will eventually have four re-
actors, project engineer Alex
Collins said, while existing lines
out of the site can accommodate

the power from only two and a
half reactors. This would leave
power "bottled up" at the station
which it would cost the province
several million dollars a month to
replace.
Mr. Collins later admitted that
even if Hydro were on the land
immediately the line would not be
finished until March, 1979, while
the existing lines will be at capa-
city a year earlier.
Hydro lawyer R. A. Ayre also
accUSed the land owners of using
delaying tactgcs,,, saying the
appeal to the divisional court
could have been made earlier,
allowing it to be heard before
December. He said the expro-
priation should not be delayed be-
cause the farmers are not suffer-
ing -'real personal loss", such as
eviction from their homes.
The judge said his decision is
not Rased on what he feels; the
divisional court may do, but as
long as there is a .possibility the
expropriation may be overturned
the land owners should be sup -
ported.
Hydro officials have said they
will appeal the decision. They
have already started an appeal of
the Wellington County verdict
