The report . is follows:â€" "‘The prospects are most encouri ing for realizing. the project witl a comparatively short time, eit througt dealing with existing Pov Comparics for the required _ row or by direct eforts of the munici] ities interested. Interviews have been had wilh ficials of various existing compan and terms have been discussed w them, and while we are not in a ition to _ close any contracts, : there/ore are not authorized to 1J before you any _ definite urosrs irom any of these companies, lfrom conversations with their oc and from our knowledge.of the c ditions aliecting operations, we . beâ€" lieve that we are justified in assuteâ€" ing that Electrical power can be obâ€" tained if taken in large quantitics, at about $7 to $8 delivered at Niagara Of the two methods thus suggestâ€" ed your _ committee recognizes that the latter plan , the Power Comâ€" pany delivering the power to the varâ€" lous municipalitics is by far the less difficult to put into operation; while the â€" former «plan under, which . the municipalities would own and opetate the â€" means of transmission has the advantage that in case at any time the Municipalities should | desire to change their source of supply, or to urdertake by any coâ€"operative scheire to develop their own power, they would have in their own hands the means of transmission. It‘ is _ perâ€" haps not _ likely that the occasion will arise within the near _ future, that Municipalities will desire _ to enter upon the development of power, since existing companies, will within two years be in a position to _ deâ€" liver far more power than is Jikely to be _ demanded for _ much Im Alime, but the possibility is w 1 of being kept in mind in considering methods _ to be adopted of obtaining power. * ; To â€"enable Municipalities to so purâ€" chase and sell orâ€" otherwise distriâ€" bute _ electrical . power, legisiatron would of course be‘ necessary; _ and we recommend that prompt â€"action be taken towards securing from the Legisliature _ at the approaching sesâ€" ‘sion the necessary . powers enabling Municipalities _ to . undertake suth work.

Suiâ€" der and Detweiler, and their foreâ€" sight, in having this iniportant gathâ€" ering meet in Berlin. This town was a manufacturing town without uvatâ€" ural power, and if there is any pros pect ol securing cheap power by deâ€" veloping the Niagara Falls scheme be could assure the delegates that â€" Berâ€" lin would enter into the scheme teadâ€" ily. He thought that the Government should develop ‘the power, and _ sugâ€" gested that the municipalities _ take ‘:mediate action to urge the _ Govâ€" ernment to take steps along this line. Mayot Urquhart of Toronto, â€"sird he was pleasql with the report _ as presented at the mortning session, but he intended moving an addition _ to it respectfully urging the Governinent themsclves to transmit the nower after it is developed to the different municipalities. He thought that _ it was the duty of the municipalties to strengthen the hands of the Govâ€" ernment in this important venture, by assisting in every possible way. He bai received information from an electrical _ expert that .a duplicate ‘transmission line ceuld be built for response made by Mayors of the difâ€" ferent municipalities who had been in vited to attend, and he called upon each to address the gathering biictâ€" ly. 3 He bad electric transn: 60000 $600,000 _ which â€" would give 20.600 horseâ€"power. The 350 miles of street railway in _ Buflalo is operated by power | gonerated at Niagara Falis. Whatever action be taken the Inll giving municipalities the right _ to develon power should be brought in as a Government bill. Mayor Beck, of London, was at the meeting to learn. _ He believed the Government should"develop afd transâ€" mit this power which would be _ of such immense benefit to manuafeturâ€" crs in Western Ontario. He congrat ulated the pushing friends in Water loo County for their work in _ tui connecticn: Mayor Halloran of, Brantford, hopâ€" ed the gathering would tesult in some definite action being taken, as Brant‘ord wants cheaper power and wanis it badly. & s Mayor Morden of Hamilton, _ said his city does not require much cheapâ€" er power, as they have the Cataract Power Co., but if the Niagara powâ€" er scheme can furnish anything betâ€" ter, there is nothing too good _ for Hamilton,, He ruy a lengthy article on the manner in whichâ€"Hamilton. is supplied with power. + ; Mayo: John Hamilton said he was pléased to. hear Mayor _ Urgquâ€" hart‘s assurance that the Governâ€" ment proposed taking action on the question along the lines suggested in the Committeejs report. 2 k Mayot Wm. Hepburn,%of Stratford, was . present . to learn.â€" He . ¢tâ€" vied Hamilton, _ and . wished ‘that Stratford would soon have cheape? power. ‘ Mayor _ Cant, of Gailt, deviated somewbat from the previous *speakâ€" ers, by declaring his firm beliet that it~ cheaper _ power is to be secured from Niagata â€" Falls . it, will te through the different Companies.

Ald.

No Right to Give it _ Away, Mayor White of Woodstock, argued that the government had no _ right to give power away, while Mr. Whyte Exâ€"Mayor Wood of Brantford â€" was nervous about the*matter. He â€" said the meéting was going too fast. He wanted more details, &nd he moved the following resolution which . was defeated:â€" of Stratford, advocated delay and anâ€" other mecting, He admitted Lhatgdie was incapable of giving an intelligent vote on theâ€"question, and he thought evervone else was. P Ald. Carter of Guelph did not want Torontc to get all the power and shut out the little places, but _ be was surprised at the corporation atâ€" titude of the Mayor of Galt. E.W. Nesbitt of Woodstock, leave it all to the Government. the government was fit to tule leave it all to the Government. i the government was fit to tule _ it was fit to guard our interests. He would like Niagara power and weuld aut it under a commission. Any way the power game. was in its infancy, and it would be just as well to have the government guard it. + Only amended by Mayor Urguharts resolution, published above, the spec ‘al committee‘s report passed.
