H. & BRUCE FOR „ 1,612,600. This Estimates of Ald Harley Does Not Include Income From Scrap (London Free Press), Electrification of the London, Huron & Brpce is estimated at a cost of $21,500 tine mile by Ald,' F. E. Marley. This on the authority of a professor of economics of Western University who has had access to costs of radial con- struction during the past decade. 'Phis report was turned in privately to the Huron' and Bruce committee last night and will be submitted to the general meeting of municipalities a t/, the con- vention here on February 23rd. According to Ald Barley's estimate the total cost of electrification for the Huron and Bruce would be $1,612,500 This figure is arrived at by multiply, ing the 75 miles' length by the cost per mile. Figures arrived at were based on the cost of electrifying the London & Port Stanley R, R., which figures are said to be entirely inclusive and do not take into consideration the present value of the Huron and Bruce branch or its value as a basis for remaking of roadbed. The scrap value of the branch line's material is also not con- sidered in the $21,500 estimate. Those factors are avritten off to take care of the increased cost of materials. In that connection, Ald Marley also pointed out that material cost are surely returning to the leve of 1915, when L. & P. S. electrification teas• time electrification cum .leted. B � the e 1 3 could receive endorsement and work begun, he believes that the actual cost of the, adventure would probably total much less than the estimate now in the hands of the Cotuncii and Chamber of Commerce Committee.
