The Task Force studying the
operations of Ontario Hydro has
received 142 briefs since being
set up a year ago.
One hundred and, ten briefs
criticize Hydro's efficiency as
well as Hydr,o's promotion and
advertising campaigns, its inter-
nal efficiency and rates, its re-
lationship with its employees and
its impact on the environment.
The study is headed up by
J. Dean Muncaster, president of
Canadian Tire. Corporation.
Several of the briefs state
that Hydro rates can be related
indirectly to the internal effic-
iency of the organization.
Hydro's promotion and adver-
tising campaigns are sharply at-
tacked by critics who claim they
'have resulted in increased costs
and higher rates. In short it is
a misuse of the public funds
entrusted- to the public utility
according to the critics.
The hearings continued into
the Workmen's Compensation
Board this week with the hearing
of witnesses now completed. It
is now up to the Committee to
bring In its report which is
expected in three weeks.
J. W. Draper, the Workmen's
Compensation Board's director
of safety admitted that he erred
in judgement when he bought a
car direct from Ford of Canada
Limited at a special wholesale
price at a time when he knew
he would have to judge the com-
pany's safety record.
Mr. Draper bought the year
old car for $2,645, but it would
have cost him $4,027 new on the
open market, The car had gone
4,700 miles. He was allowed
$1,100 trade in price for his
1967 Mustang.
The safety director said that
at the time he bought the car in
March 1970 he knew that Ford
had been assessed more than
$260,000 for its poor safety rec-
ord at the Oakville plant in 1968
and he knew the company had
appealed the levy.
Mr. Draper in his capacity
as safety director recommended
that the appeal be turned down
after he had read the safety
inspection report of the Indus-
trial Accident Prevention Asso-
ciation, and this was clone. In
June 1970, Ford appealed again
and as a result of a further
report, which committee mem-
bers called worse than the first,
Mr. Draper recommended drop-
ping the levy and it was dropped.
Meanwhile at the Public Ac-
counts Committee, members
were told that the Department
of Municipal Affairs in March
1968 improperly charged the
$38,000 costs of refurbishing
Darcy McKeough's Ministerial.
Offices to three other unrelated
accounts.
Norman Ellison, an account-
ant in the provincial Auditor's
Office, said the $38,000 costs
should have been charged to
funds set aside for maintenance
of the office of Mr. McKeough -
now Provincial Treasurer.
Instead these costs were taken
out of funds allocated by the
Legislature for the Municipal
Affairs Department of Commun-
ity Planning Branch, its Mun-
icipal Finance Branch and its
Administration and Assessment
Branch.
The Committee is ^ontinuing
its study of these and other
accounts of Government Depart-
ments.
