I think- that if the growth of'the town renlairis the same as it has in the past two year ,we will be safe for the next five years but nobody can accurately. predict that without going out on a limb. CRANE: I- think the PUC abreast of development When I retired two years ago we were set with -regards t� sound arid updated equipment. I don't think we need any extra ex- pense to handle the town's ex- pansion,' there is power available for quite ' awhile. I don't have the figures un the new.sub-station that was built since I retired so I can't ac- curately say how much more power is available. * * * 6. Why do you want to be a PUC commissioner? Are you capable? FILSINGER: The -,work is in- teresting. I enjoy having problems to solve, and I enjoy a large percentage of the pe'rson- nel. It's' not as arduous as sit - .ting on council. I've been capable for 14 years. I't i at least capable for two more. SHt+rARDOWN; I've lived here I'm always available. and around if something happens. I'd like eventually to switch to council if Athe people want me there. If I didn't think I'rn' capable, .I wouldn't: run. I've had :30 years in business.

How Important are conven- tions? Is it necessary to send all the commiasloners? What is learned and applied to Goderich? FILSINGEt3: The annual con- vention in Toronto is con- sidered almost as a ritual. That, the entire commission at- tends. Certainly, there's a great deal of knowledge one can learn. They have great speakers. In some places, we learn new machinery. We come back and talk with the hydro and, water foremen, about new equipment and new ways to do ., rate studies. The number of people attending is a matter of opinion. We have always felt everyone should go „ to get, thorough coverage. He (a com- missioner) should attend to look at new machinery, and all this stuff. Despite what many_. ev re with parties and this nonsense. In '.addition, a• PUC 'com- missioner may feel' he has ear- ned a holiday as well as working at a convention. I -would defend the policy of sen- ding this man to the conven- tion. He has earned it. SHEARDOWN: Some are good, but some leave a lot to be BEN SHEARDOWN commissioners= of every PUC. Others that are important should be `a'tten'ded but one pian cannot handle all the ac- tivity going on at the same time. There are usually several different groups working on things at the same time and one man cannot get involved with them all.
