. A. Robertson, M. 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

Chester Stevens, vice-presdent of the
company and: Charles Tvy, secretary
treasurer, had gone to Windsor from
London, and were ,waiting for lung

of the meeting in the afternoon, which
unfortunately he was not able to at -

duties with the' firm,
Mr. Casemore at first di;d not rea-
ir-e that his injuries were so serious.
