Chief Engineer F. A. Gaby adâ€" mitted in his evidence that $11,000 had been spent for propaganda purposes for which no legal authority existed. In defending this expenditure, he statâ€" ed that Sir Adam Béck had told him to go ahead, as he (Sir Adam) had been assured ‘by the Provincial Govâ€" ernment ~that an Orderâ€"inâ€"Council would be passed authorizing such exâ€" penditures, but as a matter of fact, not only was no such order ever passâ€" ed, but the Government had already expressed disapproval of the spending of monies in such a way as proposed by Sir Adam Beck. 2. Some of the evidence of G. T. Clarkson, the official auditor, was very illuminating. He testified that the Hydro Commission frequently used funds voted for specific purposes for other works. . Dealing with specific instances where funds voted for one purpose had been used for others, Mr. Clarkson ~said $1,100,000 had been spent on Hydro Radials. (No wonder Hamilton cannot get its Bonds reâ€" turned).. Provincial Hydro funds had also been diverted to the Central Onâ€" tario System. Mr. Clarkson expressed his disapâ€" proval of this diversion, but said that the Commission had power under the Act to pay back the money. It was pointed out by one of the members of the Commission that that looked worse than spending money on radials, as the Hydro did not own the Central Ontario System. In reply, Mr. Clarkson said he did not attempt to excuse such action. He had reported the diversion of the Cenâ€" tral Ontario funds before they amountâ€" ed to $1,000, but the Government had taken no action. There was no proper coâ€"operation nor proper understanding between the Hydro Commission and the Government. Mr. Clarkson said the accounts were well kept. Everything was checked and counterâ€"checked. There was a great deal more evidâ€" ence along similar lines, quite sufficiâ€" ent to show that the Hydroâ€"Electric Commission propaganda funds were not used for promoting the legitimate business of the Commissionâ€"the sale of powerâ€"but for pushing a project the Commission wanted to saddle on the people. The use of public funds for such a purpose is entirely illegitiâ€" mate, and the Government is responsâ€" ible for not pulling up the Chairman sharply. Indeed, there is abundant Continuing, Mr. Clarkson said $4,â€" 000,000 had been spent on the Chippaâ€" wa development that had been voted for other things, and this amount had not been repaid. Such a state of things as revealed by the official auditor goes far to corâ€" roborate the bold assertion of another witness that the Hydro Commission was a law to itself; that it had set up an autocracy and by the methods of its administration of Hydro affairs had the effect of destroying responsâ€" ible Government. NOTES AND COMMENTS ON CURRENT EVENTS BY PETER PETERKIN Seven automobiles came to grief at this point on May 24th. â€" Grimsby got a most unenviable reputation last year on account of its impassible roads. I hope the town is not going to repeat the performance again this year. *) d Everywhere I go I am confronted with the same cryâ€"â€" High Taxes. Formerly the kickers against taxes could When the new H. G. & B. switch was put in at Maple Avenue, the north side of Main Street was blocked and has remained so for several weeks. This throws all the traffic on to the south side of the road where two autoâ€" mobiles can barely pass at slow speed. You can imagine the jumble that existed all day, May 24th and all day, ‘The artist or architect or engineer who drafted the plans for the railing posts on the sides of the bridge on Main Street must have been ne compis mentasâ€"E Pluribus Unumâ€"hic, hac, hoc sic Semper Tyrannusâ€" or else he was walking in his sleep when he laid the plans and drew the designs for these prodigious posts with night caps on them big enough for Goliath in his most palmy days. 8 It‘s another case of men tackling a job that they know nothing aboutâ€"save a penny and lose a poundâ€"Penniy wise and pound foolish. € t * It is too bad that the travelling public are forced to jump the street car rails at the end of Maple Avenue on Main Street, when a few loads of gravel or fine broken stones would have made the road reasonably passable. Sunday, May 27th. When the men went to erect the posts, they found that when a row of posts was placed on each side of the sidewalk, that there was no room left for pedestrians â€"all the room being taken up by the night caps. e * FANCIES FACTS FRANK FAIRBORN THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO AND A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT By S. W. Straus, President, American Society for Thrift p While there still is much unrest in the world and economic conditions generally have not become stabilized, it is well to keep in mind at all times the part thrift must play in bringing about more propitious circumstances every where. ES To speak plainly, it is quite clear that the talk @about millions being saved the people of Ontario by Hydro, is all right when it refers to bydro powerâ€"not the Hydro Commission. Ontario has benefitted greatly by Niâ€" agara Fallsâ€"not by Sir Adam Beck. In fact, the benefits would be much greater had the Chippawa development beef carried thr0ugh At 4 reafonable cost as compared with developments by private pital which the Hydro commandeered by means of legislatâ€" ive pressure. Remember, the power users in this Province have still to pay for Chippawa.. : Marriedâ€" Man (to friend)â€""You bachelors don‘t feel comfortable either at home or vi,'hen you‘re away.

A schoolboy was asked what he knew about Solomon. He replied that all he knew about Solomon was that he had 300 wives and 700 cucumbers. It is natural that the man who owns a home, who possesses a savings acâ€" count or who has the products of his thrift judiciously invested, should: be an avowed supporter of the orderly forms of law and government. His every instinct is toward progress and upbuilding. He is against destructive tendenceis because he recognizes in them a danger to his patiently obtainâ€" ed possession. Therefore, his influâ€" ence may be counted upon as a force against any trend of thought or moveâ€" ment that is contrary to the proper safeguarding of the prevailing social order. The possession of savings, investâ€" ments or a home foster proprietary sentiments and awaken all the inâ€" What Oof Saps _ ' aEuut-FEAR BY INFERENCE And the emphasis is on the word YE. And there is an inference that is almost as important as the direct statement.. The facts are these (read them in the 28th of Matthew and you will get them in full): â€" On the first Lord‘s day morning, two women approached the sepulchre and saw an awesome thing; an angel with a countenance like lightning came down and rolled away the stone from the tomb. Now notice, "and for fear of him the keepers did shake and became as dead men, and the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here for He is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." Are there any people today who are trying to prevent men beâ€" lieving in the bodily resurrection of Jesus? If this should fall under the eyes of any such I pray you read this account in Matthew, with special reference to the words, "Come, see the place where the Lord lay". Then I pray you remember the fearful inference of those words of the angel, "Fear not ye," and then stop and think if you may not some day be among the trembling enemies of God. It is almost as though he turned and said to the soldiers, "Keep on shaking, you enemies of God, you may well tremble, for you have sought to prevent the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ." *Mat. 28:5. io has benefitted greatly by Niâ€" Fallsâ€"not by.

Anyone who is encourâ€" aging these practices is helping solve the grave problems of the world in a most practical manner. It also is to be borne in mind that the man who is thrifty is prosperous, for the real meaning of thrift is thriving. And the man who realizes that he is getting on in the world, that he has something back of him for the days of emergency and who sees his possesâ€" sions, small though they may be, slowâ€" ly increasing, is most apt to judge social and econom‘c problems on a basis of fairness to all.
