Ontario's Power Policy Criticised Benefit. Ottawa, bee. 3.--(To the Editor): A good deal is in the papers now about public ownership of public utili- ties, and thought is busy. with that subject, but it is astonishing to find how httle is said about the new and bizarre idea that it can be right to apply the gene revenues of a pro- Vince to construft and maintain a line for the transmission of electric energy fvam Niagara Falls for the ex- clusive benefit ot a few selected muni- cipalities which form a very small proportion of ithe municipalities that constitute the province. Public ownership has, of course, been successfully applied to both national and municipal undertakings, but it bas always been a cardinal principle that the public, which pays for, owns and manages the undertaking must be the same public that uses the utility furnished. This principle is so simple and so obviously correct that exam- ples of or arguments about it would be out of place were it not for the fact that we at present see a public ownership scheme proposed in this province without any such guiding principle at all. Let me illustrate. Of national own- ership the postal services of Great Britain and Canada and the British telegraph service are good examples. These are utilities provided for every subject of the nation and the nation as a whole properly pays for provid- ing them. Or municipal ownership, fighting establishments are good illus- trations. These utilities" are' for use of every member of each corpora- tion or municipality that provides them, and the people, as a whole, therefore, properly pay for their pro- vision. But in this power transmission plan, by which the people of the province at, large are to be called upon to eon- struct and maintain a line for the transmission of hydro-electric power to a . few sdlected communities, the cardinal principle of all such enter prises is ruthlessly violated. None of those . guarantees of safety which radical, economic move is made are | provided, and a ship without steering {gear is being launched upon the | waters of provincial life, which is likely to become a very dangerous economic derelict as time goes on. It is to be remembered too that the carviage or: transmission of a thing | from the producer to the distant con- | sumer is, so far as the consumer is concerned, just as important as the production of the thing itself. It is ngthing to the consumer, who is the real beneficiary, whether the power or lother product that has been made cheap to him is so made cheap by the government producing it or trans- mitting it or by paying some one else to do one or the other or both. The consumer gets the ultimate bene- fit and is simply being given the value of that benefit by his government. By considering this, we see the vic iousness of the Ontario power policy, which amounts to uo more and no less than bestowing benefits on the people of certain parts of the province at the cost of the people of the pro- vince at large. To provide and main- tain a power supply for the whole of the province and for the general bene- fit of all the people thereof and at j their or general cost might be right, but for the whole province to provide a supply of power to a few selected and already most highly favored parts of the province can hardly be right under the circamstances that exist. It has been said by some that the building and maintenance of this Niagara power transmission line will not be a charge on general revenue, because it will be seli-sustaining and, therefore, be a charge on no one. Whether 'this' is * true or not no one can tell. But if it should be true we do not see that justification could be got out of the truth. It would be as wise to say that the province should go into manufacturing axes cheaply for the exclugive benefit of lumbermen {| because somig set of socialistic theories believe that 'the government could make them and sell them without any charge against provincial revenues. Manufacture and trade is best left to private enterprise and must be so left when it only affects certain communi- ties. It is better to be sane, and model opr public policy as we do our private conduct on well-known and well-established lines--Yours faithfully, J. STEWART, Cartier Street. : 5: A DISAPPEARING ROAD. ---- Mystery Which Worries Township Council. Peterboro, Dec. 5--~Smith township has a piece of disappearing road about 200 yards long.
