L. A., for ,earth Huron, Wants Lower Hydro Rates In the debate in the Legislature on Thursday, C. A, Robertson (Lib, N. Huron) praised Foster Moffat (Con- - •t• r Con-ervativeSo .Bruce) for• his fear less discussion of Hydro matters," and stated that the people of .Bruce were loyal to the Foshay interests for the very .good reason that the Foshay people offered • better rates than the Hydro Commission. Some- thing was seriously wrong, he „stated with Hydro costs, For instance, in his home town, Goderich, the rate was $42 today; with more than 1,000 Horsepower being used, when four- teen years agoit was only $37 not- withstanding the fact that, less than 200 horsepower was consumed. "These figures are difficult to un - derstand,". challenged Mr. Robertson, "I'rn afraid I'm `like the Prime Min- ister and ani not an engineer. Con- seep ently the figures are a.'bit beyond. me, I do feel, however,that the time is ripe for an investigation into the costs of Hydro distribution." Not so Tong ago, said Mr. Robert- son, he had taken a case to Hon. J. R Cooke, Hydro Commissioner and Mr. Cooke admitted that the matter was one of "real grievance." At the Tatter's suggestion, he, 'Mr. Robert- son, had taken the case, up, with the Hydro "engineers; and had been . ad- vised that "politicians should 'keep out of Hydro." .When he had quoted Mn Cooke's opinion he had beenmet with the reply that " the Minister hasn't anything more to say about it than you have." Rather arrogant talk observed Mr. Robertson, for people who "fixed their own salaries." Goderich's ' "situation had reached the point, said the speaker, where the council had passed a resolution ask- ing the Hydro to develop power on Maitland River, rather than bring it v g all the way from Niagara, under ex- isting rates. Mr. Ferguson had suggested, he said, co-operation between Hydro and the rural power user, Well, he ob- served, he could not see how` co-ops? erationcould be achieved in the face , of the present methods of power dis t'ribtition: North Huron, he said, had? a population of about 12,000 people. They wanted Hydro,but at the pre- sent time he doubted if more than fifty farmers were getting it. Mr. Robertson claimed that the country was getting away from the fir t c,nn:eption of "good roads"' Back in Lire -motor -cal- days good r{ ads were taken to mean the build- ing of market roads to leading towns. Nowadays they meant nothing more than trunk lines connecting one town with anotherand meaning little to the bac,: concessions and the remoter dis- tricts. The present government, he said, was laying too much stress on proviticial highways, particularly in the face of what the farmers had to 'contribute toward there: Eon. Mr. Henry—You wouldn't aslc for any rxiore provincial high- ways in Huron, then? Mr. Robertson---I"ni. afraid I'll have o warn the hoiaorablc member that our county council will be down be- fore long asking some extra conces- sions of hien. No Action on School Bill .A show -down on Premier Fergu- son's Township School Boards Bill pas or not to pass"-- was de- manded by Mr. Robertson, In 1925 the Minister of Education had term- ed "deplorable" conditions existing in the rural districts, and yet the depart- ment had remained inactive on the matter—had not supplied remedial measures. eWhat do you mean by inactivity?" asked Mr. Henry, "When the Prime Minister speaks . on education, I'm certain,yon will find that considerable progress has 'been made." Mr, Robertson '.expressed fear that the large interests which towns had invested in local` high school's might be lost if the suggestion in the town- ship school boards bill -that high schools might be built in every town- ship—was adopted. "It's purelya local matter," put in Premier Ferge'son. "The people have the say as to what they need or want, They always initiate movements for. schools. It is solely in their hand's. The department does not force any - tiring on them.' Extra Aid for Western For Western University, at Lon don, : Mr. Robertson asked extra fin- ancial aid from the government. The University of Toronto, he stated, was in the fortunate position of drawing the greater part of its student enrol- ment from•the city and close outside. i The time would come, he figured,, when the university would serve Tor - !onto alone. Western, and.Queen's Universities were doing good work, and it was only right that they should be taken. over as provincial univer i si ties too. "I think Western will be satisfied ', with what we are going to do for them," said the Premier, "C'm glad to have that assurance," said air. Robertscm. "Down here,, they figure that you are going to in- t crease your contribution, but they 1 wanted more assurance if' they, could 1 get it," ttr,. Robertsoncould not see hots "temperance" was to be promoted if t the :Sale of liquor in- the province .was s to increase 'from 25 to .>0 per cent, s yearly, o "The Premier," he gibed, ''waxes eloquent when he talks temperance, 1 but is not very convincing. In other words, he 'shouts' temperance and he s `whispers' the evils of the Liquor Control. Act." t FATAL ACCIDENT TO A• B. CASEMORE Feb.(Chatham Daily News, 14) .Profound sorrow is expressedby the many Chatham friends of Ales., 13. Casemore who was fatally injured in an automobile accident in.

He came there two' years ago to take over the agency for this district, and just recently he was notfied that he had been promoted, to the position of manager of the branch office which the company intends to open •up Windsor;: Asa natter of fact, he was on his way to Windsor to meet the officers of the conipany to discuss the new position when the accident occurred. Chester Stevens, vice-presdent of the company and: Charles Tvy, secretary treasurer, had gone to Windsor from London, and were ,waiting for lung there, intending to hold the meeting in the afternoon. They both: called upon' hint after he was admitted to Ile `hospital and neither of 'them res i'ed that his injuries would. prove ata,. Re talked: with there„ and spoke of the meeting in the afternoon, which unfortunately he was not able to at - end. When they left him they did o recline;confident that he would don be out again, and resenting his duties with the' firm, Mr. Casemore at first di;d not rea- ir-e that his injuries were so serious.
