Of such ragnitude The
jority tor t he hydroer.adi 1 by-law was
not a large one, which was natter pure
prising in view of the enthusiasm
manifested previously for the Beck
project in Pat city, anid in view of
the tact that London, h s bed some
profitabk. experiente iril the cood.uct
of munictpal railwat* enterprises. The
veto, however, wee substantial enoogh
to put the seal tef ,popellar aaimoval
on the scheme. The reel right was
In Torontond In Toronto the majer-
ity by which the radial bylaw was I en-
dorsed was ..a very large one,.
Sir Adam! -Beck put up an .heroic
corepaign for the suceess of this
second, fbranch of his great cheap -
power work in Ontario, addressing
several 'meetings nightly and, warning
the ratepayers that the fkilling o
th,e, echeme now would teave it dead
for !all time. His ooint in this .wasl
that by another year the,forces hostile
to the scheme would the able to
-stren.gthen their feeganieiation and sot
eetrench themselves ash to enake, the
defeat or the scheme probable if not
actually certain. The fight in Toronto
was not a party °tee. Although the
project is to be carried out by,e Coll-
E.ervative governirrent. lit was suPPort-
ed by Liberal newspapere and oppoeed
by at 'least one of the forrerr.ost news-
papers of the government side. The
laattle against the projeet was based
on two main grounds flrst that the
citizens were insufficieotly J./lb:armed
wIth mon], to the plans,1 its cost iand
the effect upon the control of their
streets, and secondly, that the time
wee e time for war projecta only. It
was urged that the province ought
nee to be called upon to shoulder a
neav and heavy financial responsibility
when every energy and le,soaree eught
to be exhaustted in the support of
the war. These' objections were an-
swered by Sit A.daan Beek with „ the
assurance that the city w-ould, re-
train absolute control of the streets.
Sir Adam explained how I ne Open -
dal aspect of the 'proposal would
wOrk out. As to the objection that
the raising -of funds for the radials
wauld cripple the rgOverrunent in the
performance' of Its war ,work he de-
clared. that the endorsation of the
radial plan by the people would not
interefere with the war prograartme, of
the governnoent, beeause the hydro-
clectrie corrmission Would not proceed
with any 'part of the radial echeir.e
wfthout the Approval a the govern-
ment. The Intention .VAtOilto raise $500,
000 or 41,000,000 on the 1 can -mission's
boodz, guaranteed by the municipali-
ties, and proceed vvIth the preliminary
work so that all would he in ereadi-
ness for going forward, with the
scheme on the conclusion of the war.
Sir Adam. ,expects that the (bon& 'for
the building of ate ;hydra radials can
be floated at par, becattse they will
'have behind themthe igeara,ntee of
the Idforernreent as well sa of the enun-
icipalities,, and also the system itself.
Toward, the close of the cazypeign in
Toronto .a (repcyrt was circulated that
Premier Hearst was not in sympathy
with the Beck scheme. This report
had, the effect of cleaeing up anY
doubt as to the governirent's -attitude
on the new policy. Premier. Hearst
*raking the statement that the
the govern -
the Whitney
legislation
providing for municfpall4 owned rad-
ials is !favorable to the alai scheir.e.
Trereis not now, adds, and inever
r .
le,es been 'any fdolub or rhesitation a -
beat the governtre t ejpressing Its'
approval of the pol y Of hydro-elec-,
tr eadials." With this 'very emphat-
ic !declaration from the Provincial pre -
her and with the voteof the etdef
tr Unielealittes coneerhed, there Is no
daturbt that. the plate of linking up the'
cities and town of Ontario with
re -dial railwaye operated by cheae
power 'picot/Wed by tbe government,
will be carried into effect. Sir Aden:
Beck included , the steam. railways in
the list of Interests behind the fight
against the radials, and it Is likely
eroagh that these roads will, be
ther he•ed bit, In eo far as local
ffic is concerned, by the operation
