Goderich
A deputation from Goderich and
nearby centres was in Toronto on
Tuesday and waited upon the Hydro-
electric Commission with a proposit-
ion to darn the Maitland River near
Goderich, and develop electric energy
for the surrounding distract. A mem-
ber of the deputation :htid the under-
taking would cost about $300,G)0. It
was desired to have the power deve-
loped by the municipalities of God-
erich and Huron, and distributled on
the same basis as the hydro -electric
energy.
Hon. Adam Beck said that it was
probable that the matttw might pos-
sibly be arranged in conjunction with
Niagara power That energy has reach-
ed Seaforth, and could be carried to
Goderich and used when the water in
the Maitland River was Paw. 'The
proposition to derive a constant sup-
ply of power morn' the Maitland jRiver
dependt►1 wholly on the natural
facilities for storage. At cer-
tain times of the year the river
was ,swollen, while at times it was
much smaller in volume. It was
possible 1,090 to 1,500 hors power
could be derived from it.
