The eiamilton Spectator, the chie9 • Costs5R0%etive organ of -that city gives the following article on. the front Page of Tuesday's paper which may also o(9fect Clintons Tho general opinion in the city hall is that the death ,knell( of Hydro ppower\ at $15 per horse -power has. been' 'sounded. -While there are some confusing, ,points iii co'irntec tion with the utter regeivedtfrons the Ontario Power commission yes lteiiday, the authorities practically agree that the price will be , ma- terially increased after the dupli- cate transmission line from Dun- dee to the Falls has been built. Chairman -Ellis admits it, and says 'that the d'irrferience,'in price Wi1l gejpresient the .city's share oIi the cost of .that new line, Instead of; the city giving' a lump sum tow- ards .,construction cost, . its share will be taken out by increasing the price of power. The commission's letter+ says, in effect, that,tlete new price Will be $17.4i per horee-pow es, after the line is built and when the city's contract calls for 5000 hoilsel-power. Chairman 'Ellis' in (6eiipretation means that the $17.41 price Will . prevail this year -not .the e15 'eigurte which was •'fondly imagined—because the idtrplicate ' line will likely be -built ,by July and because the .city will require nearly 6000 horsepower when Ith� streets are lighted by Hydro power At the same time, ther(et is la dif- 1ertpnce of 'opinion as to whethjer fortmed and supplied tole' music for the $17.41 price will apply at the Beach pumping station only or at 'the Dundurtn transformer station. To settle up the entire question, Chairman Ellis and Engineer M- ien will interview the Toronto mem mission in the rear future. It is esitimated that if the $17.41 figurte prevails' flor the entire city, the total charge to the city will he in- creased . by approximately $12,000 . per year. There is one bright spot in tine 'situation—the commission's idea that after, the city takes 10,- 000 horse power the price will lie er. Butthat Is reduced to al qu4 estion er ? for the future.
