office Is open for appraisers and to provide a place for those affected come and ask questions When building begins office will be headquarters for the construction Dual purpose Although Ontario Hydro always has offices in field during construction this dual purpose office is a new con It was recommended by he Solandt commission that local provide a head for the owners in as well as for Hydro snff I in this area have been informed of the office and make enquiries and bring complaints here There is a similar office in Durham Held supervisor in charge of office is Bill of Don Mills Three appraisers are working out of the office at present There ore also forestry specialists who value the along the line 53 pro port let Hills appraisals of 53 properties are all done and the figures have been sent Toronto Appointments are made for appraisals since line tech and agents prefer to walk through Ihe property in volved controversy over the route some of the owners In Hills wrote letters to Hydro saying did not wish lo have anything do the Hydro officials Mr said In these cases the ap praisals were made by aerial survey The number of refusals has been estimated 20 Appraisals are now under way In Erin East and East Luther The route of line in township I precisely determined yet Owners will be presented with two options to sell their land or give an Hearing A hearing of inquiry inlo lhc necessity of Ihe line will be held probably in 1977 and at that time all owners will have an appro idea of the amount offered for their land At Ihis lime hydro has to prove the line is needed and ihe route is right Mr Walkom says is no doubt that there is need for more power but where the line should go is always matter of contention There is always i poss itnlity of a change in he he says Since the line goers down middle between two lines mnsl farmers leave their bush at the back of heir land swampy and some owners feel Ihis is a good way to dls pose land Mr Walkom says The line takes a swath so he land required is usually 125 feet from each owner How are appraisals made Mr explains Hydro does market studies on farms and land ore cur selling for We don t set market price We re compelled by law under the Expropriation Act to pay market value He it public money being spent so we don have of per sonal feelings about the properly thai is the public would want and in si upon emcerntd That people affected are deeply concerned is no bur prise to Mr While he is prepared to to these people and has plenty of answers he Ihey should go to the lion centre near After the public
