ROBERT DEMI,.
timate that at cert
We can only h • year over 5,000 hose -power c -an be
paper at KNok s. developed, and also s lace tine minimum
at about 1,000 horses ewer,' so that in
conjunction with Ni gar, power, al-
ready at Seaforth, nd within about
fifteen miles of the n. w plant, it would
be a very desirable .ource of supply
for the power users of this district.
The commission found that the clow of
water was much grater than they
expected, and their original estimate
of $275,000 for constr ction and equip-
ment
would have t. be increased to'
about $386,000fone 1f If of which would
be for dam coustruc on. As the users
of power increased t iere would be no
reason why Huron county could not
have as cheap power as any place in
Ontario. If the -mu icipalities wish to
go ahead the Goveri ent will advance
tht euoney at four p. r cent., repayable
in thirty years. Th proposition is to
construct the Niagar line from Sea -
forth to Goderich at rice, and use the
power on the constru tion of the new
works. A schedule o prices was pre-
sented, but these are .ubject to revis-
ion when the amount .f power wanted
by the municipalities known. Mayor
Spotton and Coun. V Stone attended
the meeting as regi •sentatives from
Wingham. The price quoted for Wing -
ham was $55.82 per horsepower and
the town would have to contract for
250 horse power. I t 500 horsepower
were used the rate w uld he consider-
ably reduced. The nee quoted is for
the power delivered o the corporation
limits and in order t. use the power it
would be necessar for the town to
build a distributing station. We are
of the opinion that ingham does not
need hydro powe . With the town
controlling the tw water powers we
are in a position t supply power at a
lower rate than t at quoted for hydro.
