Goderich Cannot Offer
Camp Ground
Council Decides That $925 Rental
Is Too. Much for Attrill
Estate.
Goderich, April 20. -Coll Kodgin,
of London, commanding No. 1 'div-
ision, was notifiel officially that
arrangements cannot be made to
secure ground for the millitary camp
site.
A motion to this effect, although it
met much opposition, passed at last
night's council meeting and the hope
of having the camp of No. 1 division
located at this paint is abandoned.
Costly Experiments.
Not so long ago all the members of
_the c uncil were working together to
get the camp permanently settled here.
Two years of experiment with the
camp on the Attrill estate cost them
dearily and when they wished to get
a price of rental from the trust com-
pany in charge of the property the
figure was so large it balked all good
intentions. For two weeke' use of the
land, $1,000 was declared a "holdup"
by ,members of the council. The
figure at which the trusts corporation
offered _the estate last night was $925,
but even this was too much.
This One Too Small.
As an alternative the idea was con.
sidered of offering a small site, the
Hamlinkfarm, which contains ,150
acres and could be obtained at a rental
of300
$ It was thought this property
might be so unsatisfactory as to spoil
chances for the permanent site being
established here, so it was not ser-
iously considered
One of the members advocated a
publiceubscription to raistethe rent of
the property, but this was declared
impracticable.
After long discussion
the motion to abandou the project
passed.

Power at $25 a Horsepower,
As we reported last week, the meet.-
ing of the hydro -electric commission-
ers and representatives of Huron Co.,
was held in Clinton last Thursday
afternoon,
There was a representative gather-
ing among those being present were: -
Mayor and Council of Clinton ; Gode-

and Wm. Lane ; Wingham:-Mayor

Engineer'Acers gave the result of a
systeatic investiation from month-
ly readings taken at the Black Hole
during the last twelve months, and
theresults proved pr ved to be surprising to
both Commissioners arid people. p ogle. They
estimate that at certain seasons of the
year over 5,000 horsepower can be de-
veloped, and also place the minimum
at about 1,000 horsepower, so that in
conjunction with Niagara power ' a1•
ready at Seaforth, and within about
fifteen'miles of the new plant, it would
be a very desirable source of supply
for the power users of this district.
The commission found that the flow
of water was much greater than they
expected and their original estimate.
of $275,Od0 for construction and equip-
ment would have to be increased to
about 5586,000, one half of which
would be for dam construction, As
the users of power increased there
would be no reason why Huron coun-
ty could not have as cheap power as
any place in Ontario.
If the municipalities wish to go
ahead the Government will advance
the money at four per cent., repayable_
in thirty years. The proposition is
to construct the Niagara line from
Seaforth to Goderich at once, and use
the power in the construction of the
new works.. A schedule of prices was
presented, but these are subject to
revision when the amount of power
wanted by the municipalities is
known, The promise of a $25 rate.

MORE HYDRO ELECTRIC PROMISES.

The representatives of the Hydro-
Electric Commission met with repre-
sentatives from Huron .County at
Clinton on Thursday, and Engineer
Ace ereported• that 5,000 horsepower

miles from Seaforth, at which point
it is proposed to erect a plant to
supplement the Hydro -Electric to be
extended. from Seaforth to Goderich
if the municipalities
ant '
cost of this plant will bet $586,000
about twice the original estimate. A
schedule of prices, was submitted
which are subject to revision but the
representatives of the Hydro -Electric
Commission, assured the representa-
tives of the municipalities that as the
use of power increased there was no
reason that Huron County should not
have as cheap power as any place in
Ontario, The prornsse of a rate of
$25 a horsepower given by Hon,
Adam Beck is said to be within pos-
sibility when the Maitland is har-
nessed, rhe people of Huron should
not place too much confidence in Mr.
Heck's promises. The charge made
in Stratford ` by the Hydro -Electric
Commission to the Light and Heat
Commission is $32, and this does not
include everything, while the esti-
mated cost was only $29.50. In St.
Marys more is • being charged than
the original estimate, and it would
probably be a • wise thing for Huron
municipalities to get an independent
report on Maitland power before em-
barking in so serious an undertaking
with hopes of 425 per horsepower.
