the rates charged by the Hydro
Power •Coammission of Ontario for
electric power and energy through-

cessive, compared with other coun-
ties nearer the source of supply, and
whereas the fact precludes the passi-
bility of the farmers of the county
being able to avail themselves of this
power in any large measure by reason
of the great distance from Niagara
Falls and the consequent high cost of
transmission, and whereas the towns
and villages of the county cannot of-
fer inducements to manufacturing in-
dustries for location 'have for the
same reason, and the whole county is,
therefore, suffering industrially and
is generally handicapped in providing
work for our people, causing our
young men and our young women to
seek employment elsewhere, and
whereas the Commission has stead-
fastly set its face against a flat rate
for the whole province, now, there-
fore, be it resolved that the County
Council of Huron, assemlbled at this
session, strongly petition and urge
the Commission to proceed with the
development of power on the Mait-
land River as was promised and guar-
anteed by the late Sir Adam Beck,
as head of the Hydro Power Commis-

the 7Bluevale Highway through the

and whereas it is rapidly becoming
an internationally travelled highway
between the United States and North-
ern Ontario along Lake Huron and
Georgian Bay, and the upkeep as a
county gravel road is therefore ex-
ceedingly high and out of all propor-
tion to other county roads, be it re-
solved that we petition the Highways
Department of the Ontario Govern-
ment, to take it over as a Provincial
Highway and have it paved as soon
as the finances of the Department will
permit, and in the meantime, that we
ask it to have provincial road signs
placed along the highway and that
the other counties through which the
road passes, be asked to make similar
representations to the Department,
and that a copy of this resolution be
forwarded to the other counties and
also the Blue Water Highway Associ-
ation at the City of Barrie.-1Sent to
