This would mean the saving of the cost- of a step-down station. -CHEAPER T'1IAx OTHER Tow.\'s.= Barrie would come in at a. most opportune time. and: it was now or! never,- as: other people were endeavor- . ing to get this power from the Sim- coo Light. and Power Co. ' Barrie would get the power at a much bet- ter rate Athario m-any wwtern to_wns. `St. Mary s'o pays 8538, Mitchell v$38, Stratford {$32 and Seaforth $42.50, But the beauty `of hydro electric .is that .-the -price is continually edging down. I -T The` Ball Planing Mill "Co. looked to be a hard proposition to place electric power in., but Mr, Leaoock had looked. into .their case, and thought he could save then; money. The refuse and -shaving-su in a plan- ing mill usually provides suicieiitv {fuel for t-heir engines, but last year the Ball 00. used cons-ideraible coal. It is quite necessary to have isteasml for the dry kilns, -and some re would be` necessary all the time, but. Mr. Leaoock thought he could save this rm $300 per` year. ` ` It would pay the Barrie Milling Co. to instal hydro `at these gures. They now have similar .mi1-ls in -Stratford, in Seaforth and: in Tav- istock, all using .hyd:r,o power at a `higher price than the gures quoted here. It is an exceedingly good pro- position for a miller. The mill at Midland was operated by hydro at less than $1400 .for power, thus save ring $700 and` .With one man (en- gineer) _ less on the pay roll.

' The` Council have nothing to do with it, only so far as submitting `a by-law for the .ratepa.yers approval and as- uming the liability for t:l1e'payr'n:ent$ of- the debe.nt.ures. He felt assu.red'i 'there would not have to be an.ything' to be mlade up by t.a'x-ation, but we, as .21 Council,` want to know when .we go to the people just. what We are doing. He was` pleased with recent amendlznentss to the Act which pre-I vented ` all" iiiterfnrenaae _.With. the Co_mnm'ssion s operations by m-uni-, cipal councils, There is little doubt that this -proposition . will be all right if the manufactiirers of Town are 1-oyea.-1 and support i t Thevpower of course, .cam t` -be sold at $33.70, and a fair average for the 8JdId9dlC'0S't, of distribution would be $5 per h.p. i It i-s up to the townspeople. . I 1, Continuring, Mr. Beecroft pointed out that We would then have _a plant tun-equalled in the country", combin- ing -all the good features of hydro power with -an zauxil-iary plant. to- act in case of a`brea1 ~- or accident of any` kind. . ' 1... __ . _. _-__- v .v yr u-v~._..-nan.-A Mr, Leaeock thought the rural dis-_- triots .Would4'soo11 begin to use power, both for lights and small motors. There was another `thing which will _be in general use before many years, and that is the storage battery, for storing power for heavy truck. work. WOULD TAKE 700 H.P. Ex-Ma-yor Beecroft said. he had. given this: matter much thought and A a great deal of attention, notwith-( standing. the fact` that the Board of `Trade had said We have thrown cold '.water` on the project.` This was an exceptionally good oer, and wel should take 500 h.p., even if we could I not take 700 h.p., but he Would. favor: taking the 700 h.-p. as we can t prom duvce it at that rate by steam. Thel Si.meoe Light. and "Power Co. will build the line from their power house to Waubaushene, and we .woul-d l'l3JV Ibi1t.37 miles to build. We will gravdually need. more power. if we get in a position to take'1(`00 h.p. we will get it _at_ $28. Mr. Akerrsa was referred to for verication and he assured Mr. Beecroft that the [possibility would be that it would be even less than that, as the Hydro Commission had, a clause in their agreement with the Power Co. to re.- duce the $16.50 rate to them when they took over 1600 h.p. } I -t-I--'-I-val`: uvuuu l:1l.C..llJ g.lVU L118 LUW11 more hght for same money, ' wthi-1e Elder Q16 DI'_ese:n.t system every addi- 1-101181 light Increases the coal bill-.
