damages occasioned through airs After he was abruptly fired two Clifford le weeks ago Mr Walkinshaw had writ served on the commission claiming 830000 for breach of con tract Notice of the legal action was filed by the Toronto law firm of RoebuckWalkinshaw and Trot ter the rst two named being Mr Walkinshaws uncle and brother Decision to file the counter suit was made at meeting attended by only three of the commissions five elected members Those pres onL were Mayor Wilbur MCramp ViceChairman Ernie Cavana and Commissioner Arthur Truman who acted as chairman in the ab sence of Chairman Stuart Keyes Also absent was Con Harry Thiess who joined Mr Keyes in opposing Mr Walkinshaws dismissal but was voted down The motion instructing the com mission lawyer to take the legal action was made by Mayor Cramp and seconded by Con Cavana It passed unanimously since they were the only members present eligible to vote on it There seems to be lot of feel ing around that the water ques tion has not

kilowatts more ricin from Ontario Hydro This would have roughly diiubled IllC towns purchases from the provin cial system to augment local pow er production If we had followed the general managers recommendation it would have cost us about $72000 year for this power stated Mayor Cramp He said special short term agreement he had been able to secure through Hydro chairman Robert Saunders saved the town considerable money Extra power bought in November cost $2500 but the need for more elec tricity is beginning to decline as water levels are climbing at the Orillia plants Mr Walkinshaw as general man ager has been accused of permit ting water to run over the dams during the summer instead of conserving it for fall when water levels are down The levels are apparently not allowed to
