Another chapter has been added to
the history of the Ontario West
Shore Railway. On Monday a meeting
was held at Goderich which was at-
tended by J. IV. Moyes, the promot-
er and President of the Co, He ask-
ed the guaranteeing municipalities to
raise $.100,000 more ter the comple-
tion. of the road but representa-
tives of the nittnicipalities oould not
sae it that way. Mr. Moyer con-
tended that the $200,000 which 4 he
Was •to raise by the sale of bonds
had not been raised at all. He said
lie could not sell the bonds because
he could not show prospective pur-
chasers where the power to run the
road was to come from. He had
therefore had to put up a lot of his
own. persottal funds. He was inter-
ested in the road more than any one
of the guaranteeing municipalities.
This nioney he had advanced to help
construotion of the road and yet he'
was subject to much ungenerous
criticism.. Ile contented too, that
after spending "thousands of dollara"
around the Maitland River, he had
been told that nothing had been done
to develop power. He intimated too
that the Hydro -Electric Commission
had "butted hi" and stopped further
development.. '77 the municipalities
Would not advance another hundred
thousand, he •, asked than to urge
HOL Adam Beck to say how much
power he could give and when. This
woeld perhaps enable him te sull
bonds, although he could not pro-
mise It, If he had had the power
-
last year hotvever, he couldhave sold
:the bonds, 'The representatives pre-
sent at the meeting agreed to send
a deputation to wait upon Mr. Beck.
