KINGSTON IN DARKNESS OWING 0 THE STORM Break In the Transmission Line Between Deseronto and Napanee. 3 : The storm which passed over the city on Monday night had evidently spent its fury further west, as prac- tically no damage was reported in this area. The street lights went out at 9.05 p.m. (standard time), owing to a break in the transmission line between Deseronto and Napanee, and it was not until after midnight that the damage. had been repaired. The lights in the houses were cafried by the Campbell power unit at Kingston Mills. : ! Mr. Maguire took the Attorney- General of the State of New York to task for his statement that New York would force a single stage de- velopment on Ontario. Ontario; did not know such a word as "force" and would accept "dictation from nobody in Hydre matters. He would like to inform the Attorney-General for New York that Ontario would look after its rights and knew how | to take care of its own business. He considered that the statement of the New York official was very 'indis- creet. / The arguments favoring the double stage development, as op- posed to the single stage develop- ment favored by United States in- terests headed by the Frontier Com- pany, were that power would be ob- tained three years earlier; that the project would.be easier to finance: that it would increase ths available horse power from the development by 100,000; that the power could be developed in more easily assimil- ated blocks, and for the more senti- mental reason that it would make unnecessary the flooding of 29,000 acres gf the firiest farm land in On- tarfo, including several small towns and historic sights.
