Surely a much quicker solution would have been found if there had been a united protest, rather than the individual complaints | == of some of the municipalities. The Peterboro Examiner in an edi- torial, under the caption 'Central Ontario's Disunity," in discussing this lack of co-operation says in part:-- "The unorganized condition of the municipalities that éomprise the Cen-|™ tral Ontario power system is a con- stant source of disappointment to those who realize the consequences of this disunion. Several attempts haye been made to bring together representatives of the cities, towns |S and villages that obtain their power |= , ,from the Hydro-Electric Commission, |= but they have been only spasmodic |=] and half-hearted when they should |= have been 'persistent and energetic. Organization was contemplated at several meetings held in Peterbor- ough and Port Hope, but nothing per- manent was accomplished. Oshawa and Peterborough have par- ticularly shown that they were pre- pared and eager to establish a com- munity of interest along the lines that hafe proved successful in West- 'ern Ontario, but these efforts failed through the lack of co-operation from the majority of the munieipal- ties in the Central Ontario group. Some of the delegates from the ex- treme eastern border of the system hampered rather than helped the project by the attitude they as- sumed, so that as a result of dis- agreement and indifference and a dragging, Mstless spirit of unpro- gressiveness, the Trent Power group is unconsolidated, inarticulaté and leaderless, the weak sister among the inter-municipal enterprises of Ontario. ; "This comment is occasioned by the announcement that the Hydro In- vestigating Commission of which W. H. Gregory is chairman, wishes to meet delegates from the Central Ontario power system, and to receive | from them any suggestions for the improvement of the service or such other representations that may be offered. Mr. T. H. Stinson, of Lind- say, who was the secretary of the abortive asseciation some of the munieipalities of this district endeav- ored to form, has seat out letters re- questing the various councils to ap- point delegates for a proposed meet- ing to bé held in Port Hope, "Instead of having an organization that would be prepared to lay fully considered proposals before the Gregory Commission, the Central On- tario group is inanimate and uncor- porated and altogether unready. This lethargy is characteristic and has been from the inception of the sys- tem. "Power shortages occur, seriously affecting the whole system, but there is no. united protest, no demand for a thorough explanation, mo comtra- diction of press reports that must be injurious te the industrial prospects of Central Ontario, no appeal to the Ontario Government, the actual own- ers of the system, and, most discour- aging of all, no apparest desire for unity and action either protective or progressive." Oshawes Council was one of the first | bodies to appoint delegates to the meeting - suggested by Mr. Stinsor and thereby showed that it is still anxious to be 2 member of a live or- ganigation. Surely the recent power shortage, and the request of the Gre- gory Commission to meet some cen- tral body with whom to discuss the distpict's needs, will spur along municipalities which have heretofore shown little interest, to help reor- |= ganize the ence proposed at the confer- Port Hope.
