Meeting
discusses
hydro lines
Criticism of Ontario Hydro
was voiced when about 75 persons
at a public meeting in. Brussels
Legion considered plans of
Hydro to obtain land for a powel
corridor from Douglas Point to
Seaforth.
Huron Bruce MPP Murray
Gaunt suggested Hydro used
iipower play tactics" by putting
one farmer against another in
an effort to obtain cheaper land.
The meeting was called by
the Huron-Bruce power line ne-
gotiating committee, made up.
of farmers and some Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
membersArho banded together to
bargain with Ontario Hydro.
Ontario. Hydro is currently
acquiring land for a power cor-
ridor which would stretch from
the Bruce Nuclear Power De-
velopment at Douglas Point east-
ward to the Chepstow area and
south to $ea.forth.
FarMerS claim that the
corridor, ranging in width from
live towers each with a 25 foot-
square base down to a single
tower, could chop off 25 acres
of prime land from a 100-acre
field.
Paul Carroll, N.D.P. candi-
date in the Huron by election
who was in attendance at the
meeting, said Hydro ignored local
planning in advancing its pro-
posals.

like the opportunity to partici-
pate in lawn bowling.. It is a
sport for All ages;. young and old

idea for a club to be feinted

Centennial and the Fall Fair.
Certain specifications were set
out by thein this year since the
1972 Fair was rained out and
resulted in a loss to operat elm

cers of the Society according to
