At the conclusion of his ‘Mrou‘ a resolution expressing confidence in Sir Adam Beck and the Hydro Comâ€" mission was adopted. In opening, Sir Adam said he hesi« tated to discuss hydro matters as an investigation was to be held and the subject was, in a sense, subjudice. But as the storm of criticism _ and charges continued against him and hydro affairs it did not seem _ just that these things should be suffered in silence. _ For himself he welcomâ€" ed the investigation, which would esâ€" tablish for once and all the confidenâ€" ce of the people of the province in the loyalty and bard work _ of the whole staff of the hydro. . It was a mopumental work, one unique in the history of the world and one which, since its completion, had reâ€" ceived high praise from all parts ot the world where such establishments were understood. The prime minister had dope him personally the honor to state that he believed he had been loyal to . the province and to the municipalities in all the work of hydro. That was a great compensation to him _ for he knew, that the propaganda against hydro was so extensive and so bittey that it would almost take away the reputation, and certainly the courâ€" age of any man, and this propaganda was painful to himself, to his hearâ€" ers and to many others but it was cowardly in its atacks on the enginâ€" eers and others of the working orâ€" lgnnlntlan, men who had been slaves \to the project for 6 years, . during <wh|ch time there had never been the |slightest basis for any intimation of | wrongdoing. wt** wP .
