Government's $osersault mt Hydro "More aid to rural hydro users was a slogan in the last campaign, but three of uv ,who sat here last sesslou' will remember we were told there could ere no reduction lu rates, that the baste principle laid down by Sir Adana Berk and by his followers was hydro at cost and that we were getting It at coat. What more could we want? Yet the Prime Minister In hie Mitchell speech forecast a reduction in the eerrlce charge, which 1 think is already to et feet. The question is, who gave hiu, authority to make such a 'statement and how can that be reconciled with former statements? "Rural users are also promised flu andal aid In Installing hydro. 1 con- tend that Is a very doubtful favor. 1t the first place the fhrwer who cannot afford to install hydro is better with- out 1t Hydro on the farm i, deslr- ublr iu more ways than one, and the farmer la entitled to It, but it is not u money-maker.

"In the county of Huron we have approximately 10,000 motor vehicles, and, taking the figures for 1929, the average llceuse paid In the Province was well over $11, and gas tax of b cents amounted to au average bf $15 per motor vehicle. Thus If my figures • re correct. and 1 have gone to tonatd- erevble trouble to verify then[. the coun- ty of Huron, pays bra uutowobile and eomwerctal vehicle licenses the sum of $110,000, and in gas tax $150,000, a total of $200,000.
