THE POWER BYLAW.
PROS ANU OONB DISCUSSED AT
TOWN HALL MELTING.
Mayor Cameron Tells How the Power
Proposition Developed from the
Salt Project -Various Aspects of
the Bylaw Omit with by the
Speakers.
There was a gathering of about sev-
enty-five citizens at the town bell on
Monday evening. in response to the
announcement of a meeting for the
discussion of the 1 die power l:7.
The meeting was walled by the
of Trade. and Dr. Macklin, president
of that body, occupied the chair.
In opening the meeting Dr. Mack-
lin remarked that some objections had
been made to the bylaw, bot he be-
lieved that these objections would not
bold when the proposition had been
propery expl.inod. The Board of
Trade hail hews rrpritnaaded by let-
ters to the press taw its action in con-
nection with the matter, but be (the
chairman) believed the proposition
Mas • good one ant the bylaw was a
gcod one.
The chairman also that An-
other public tweeting would be beld
'Ater on to go into the propgition
more thoroughly.
Rev. Josepti Kltiutt at this juncture
suggested that the discussion should
stout with an exploits*. ior. of he bylaw
by those who advocated it. Wm.
Campbellthought that firer. however,
•osething should be said regarding
the endorsatiom Orf -the bylaw by the
Boatel of Trade. Ke questioned it the
meeting at the Bernd of Trade had
been legally called. Ole him,eft, al-
tbougb an officer of the Board. had re-
ceived no notification of the meeting.
and be believed that some other mem-
bers of the Board knew nothing of it
Ales. Sauoders, as . father" of the
motion in the Board of Trade recom-
mending the propoeitit-u to (be coun-
cil, explained hie stand. Seventeen
years ago, be said. several cinema
made a proposition to dein the Mait-
land River and Renew power for the
town services and for factories. That
offer, made by Mss.rs. Clerk. McIn-
tosh and others. was t e j noted. sad h.
bad always believed that in its action
at that time the town had made a mis-
take. The result twos that the town
was % sable to offer pnwer to massfae-
turere and was fl hiking in one of
the eseentiaJs for the drawing of man-
ufacturing ibdustrier to We town.
After meeting Mr. Brodie sod Mr.
Eine andbearing their propositi' n he
believed that the town bad soother
favorableopportunity for the securing
of power. Niagari power, which was
costing $47 at Seeforth, would be too
expensive at Godericb, and Mr. Moyes
was not doing anytbing with the
Maitland River Power Oo. scheme.
Under the proven- proposition' the
town could bell power in quantities
under five horsepower. and would
belie a very considerable market
among small users such as printing
offices, restaurant", dtessmatero etc.,
and in hooses wbere the power could
be need fur domestic purposes. Get-
tiag the power at i34 per h.,p.. the
town could casks money by setting it.
Mr. Sounders said that be was in-
formed the present cost of power of
the monicipel powerhouse was $47.
There win some discussion on ibis
point, and Mr. Saunders said that tbe
published statement of the water and
light eo,Dntieaion did not properly
show the expenditure aeon the pewet-
honer.
Referring to Mr. Brodie's finaoeial
standing, Mr. Saunders raid be had
made inquiries, with satisfactory re-
sult
Continuing, be said he felt it was a
good business proposition in itself ;
but there was another and much
larger consideration sod that was the
development of our natural remora..
salt.
Mr. Tretbewey : 1 understand the
town bas to pay for the power
wbetber it toss It or not.
Mr. Bwnders explainid that h. was
the usual custom to hese sibs charge
;or electric power on the peak Mad, for
the reason tbat an amount of power
sutlicieet to emery the pewk1oad had
etwaya to be available.
Mr. Trethewey asked bow murb
power the town used. Mr. Saundet a
said he did not think there was a man
In town who could say.
Rev. Jos. Elliott wautd to know if
the town was still hound 17 the *groe-
meat with the Maittaod River Power
Co.
The chairman said tbat Mr. Cameron
would reply to that question.
Mr. 8aonden closed his address by
steti*g teat be bad always supported
every popowtioe whicb he thought
was fox the benefit afi the town, and
the town had never hot anything by
its •wistanes to *ay mob proposition
swept in the ease of th- summers
betel.
Dr. Mat -elle emphasised the point
that the town needed all.4y pp.00wweerr
which weld he second by the Drodie
prnpsettioa. The tows would be get-
liwt ellelay power tied .Alias; %ec-
hoer power. At Mitchell Niagara
power was costing t.heg5 8415. •a
com-
pared with 8114 hero This peopowiticn
would piece Goderich on ew even psi -
tion with Meat/ord. 5.rtis. etc.. and
away Assad of Clitoris. Missfo th and
the other smaller t ow me. At Mitchell
he wee Odd teat the keeping up of •
steam fire wee only ateespoewe re-
quiresest, until the .eo.urity Orf Meg -
are power was fully eetaMiebed.
Mrd MHott, however. claimed that
it was the law of the undo w*itere
that the Met* plant would haus to be
kept rip. and wouM ilbely remake se.
W td Lohse said be W es epee
mime os the g.stMs ma it he were
convinced that it was a goost'4roposi-
tioo be would vote for it. Be wanted
to hear furtber ezplaoation and dis-
cussion.
Dr. Strang algin asked for more Hight
lie thought that neither tie Board of
Trade nor the town council had given
the bylaw proper consideration ; there
seemed to be'too much baate•bout the
whole thing. They Wet told that
Mr. Brodie and Mr. King were about
to start a large salt industry without
asking any aasietance from the town,
••d next Lling they beard was this
power proposition, and the ratepayers
did sot understand the situation.
Wm. Campbell went into the figures
of the cost of runnipg the town plant.
Poe four years 1907-10 the ,actualcost
eras $61,366.87 -an average of 112,838.117
for each of the four years. The pres-
ent proposition meant that fur power
alone the town would be paying al-
most as much as the total cost as
above. Mr. Campbell figured the
average out of the coal consumed at
the town plant in the four years at
84(IR6. What el•.., he asked, can be
saved, to oNett sibs payment of 811.1160
to Mr. Brodie for power ? lteg irdieg ,
the amount of power now used at. the
powerhouse, Mr. Campbell said that
1 The reports from Ottawa indicate •
general election within the next ten
weeks. SioceParliament resumed its
sittings on the 18th of July the Oppo-
sition has carried out what looks like
a deliberate policy of obslructioo, and
practically no business has been done.
The Government will not allow this
state of things to continue indefinitely
sod unless the Opposition changes its
tactics and allows the reciprocity bill
to come 10 a vote there will undoubt-
edly be an appeal to the people, with
reciprocity as the great issue.
The general feeling i9 that the Gov -
seamen C s patience is almost exhausted
and ' that the dissolution of the
House may be expected- within the
nett ten days or two weeks, - Theelec_
tion will no doubt be timed so se to

induced Mr. Brodie to come hare. Mr. AN ELECTION NEAR.
llrodie was satisfied with the locality
nod they went ahead with the prelim -
.nary work at the McHwen property,
where the well and the machinery
were all reedy for operations. Then
Obey began to ask about power.
Through some mit oderst,anding be-
tween himself and Messrs. Brodie and
Kirg tbe latter geotlemeu thought
tbat efectric power was available
here, Eogloeet Kelly. however,
being
called i n, mated that
no power was available from the
town plant -the plant was being
worked to its capacity. Mr. Kelly
also stated that the town was using
326 b. p. Seeing that they could not
get electrical power hest, Messrs.
Brodie and King were about to leave
Ooderich when it struck them Obey
might develop power themselves and
supply it to the town. using the waste
steam from the salt plant. This
seemed to be the oat 7 way out of the
difficulty. Mr. Brodle secured so es-
timate from the General Electric Co.
of the cos. of producing power, the
figure named i.eing 836 per b. p. ,and
1 hen made his proposition to the town
to supply power at 834. Then It be-
came a question whether it would Ma
MAYOR CAMERUN.
The fame of Oodericb's Mayor hair extended across the border, a
recent issue of The Buffalo Courier having a portrait of Hie Worship,
with the lollowiog tote :

as candidate for the House of Commons tram West Huron."
•
about Christmas time, when the light*
were on and the pumps were gorse,
they were osiog thea full supply of
wer, but this was for a sbo' t • One only.
etiees they did not use more than
100 horsepower and the average was
perhaps H10 horsepower. Under this
proposition the town would have to
pay for 326 b. p. He agreed that the
town oould sell enough power to make
up Use difference ; but if Mr. Brodie
could well power at this price why
could not the town do it itself ?
Mr. Campbell spoke of the county
oduncil scheme and eaten it as bis
opinion that the town was committed
very largely to this project and it
would not be honorable to throw it
over read take up Mr. Brodie's. The
speaker criticized other features of the
proemial and declared himself an
advocate of public ownership.
Wm. Lane also.poke of the county
council scheme. All wumsaer, he mai&
the Government engineerl bad been

According to the plan of the Hydro -
Electric Commission, the town would
from the sale d power receive a gum

plant, so that at the end of thirty
years the town would own the plant

good proposition for the town. What
power was costing the town at the
present time was a problem they had
never been able to solve very definitely
or surely ; it was variously stated at
$40 to over 860 per horsepower. 'Mr.
Cameron bad a report from J. A. Car-
stairs, chartered accountant. which
went into the expenditure at the town•
powerhouse for the last four years,
and included calculations of the cost
of power as now used by the town.
Including depreciation. but deducting
a sum to represent the Dost of labor
that would still be required ander the
sew arrangement, Mr. Carstairs cal
cuiated the Dost of power at the mun-
icipal powerhouse at 844.48 fru a pro-
duction of 326 borsepower.
Referring to the old agreement with
the Maitland River Power Company,
Mr. Cameron said be had no doubt
that it was a dead letter. The guar-
antee of bonds had been transferred to
(be Electric RailwayCompsny by *by-
law afterwards carried by the people.
and the power agreement and the
agreement as to bonds were so inter-
woveu tbat he did not think there
onuld be any doubt that the whole
agreement was milt•.
Mr. Cameron did not think the har-
gain with Mr. Brodie would necessar-
ily kill the Hydro -Electric scheme.
Tbe latter was a much larger proposi-
tion than this. Only about one thous-
and horsepower could he obtained
from the Maitland River. and the rest
would have to he obtained from Niag-
ara, whicb could ile supplied only at a
much higher price.
Mr. Cameron thew made a calcula-
tion to show that is any case during
the Ares ten year. the town would
aot be losiog anything, but would
rather be gaining. by the bargain with
Mr. Brodie. Hydro -Electric power
would not be available for five years.
Taking the opal: of power as now pro -
s1 the municipal powerfully., at
544 per b. p.. there would to a saving
of 810 per h. p. by taking power from
Mr. Brodie at 884. This would repre-
sent again to the tows o0 326 h. p. for
Ave years of 816,260. For the eseond
five'oars, put ti r g hydro -electric power
' at the rfdikrulonaly sow price of sit,
the. difference against the Brodie
power would be PA per b. p.. or 814.-

du^ting this asount snags 516,10 Islt

D+pnty Reeve Munnings spoke

Mr. Brodie to guarantee that a certain
amount of business would be dote in

was no guarantee as to the price et

Dr. Strang asked if the establishing
of Otte salt buainess depended time the
euccea. of the power proposition. The
chairman replied to the effect that he
bad heard Mr. Brodie slate that if the
bylaw were voted down be would not
go on with the salt proposition.
This concluded the meeting.
