ence With Ottawa Valley Company.

A new agreement, replacing a. cancelled but court-valid contract, was announced by Premier Mitch- ell F. Hepburn. Entire 96.000- horsepower output of the Ottawa Valley Company will be purchased by the Commission which also has an option on purchase of the Com- pany's Chats Falls development on the Ottawa River at approximate- ly $15,000,000. Ontario will pay $12.50 a horse- power under the new contract- the originalflgum was $5. Mr. Hep- burn said the Hydro Com-mission was not interested at the moment in purchasing Chats Falls. "We have no thought oi’ ever acquiring property in the province of Que- bec." he commented. More enthusiastic about the pllr- chosc option ‘ was Commission Chairman 'I‘. Stewart Lyon who called it the “most important fen- turc" of the new agreement. He said he hoped to convince the government and power users that public ownership of Chats Falls would yield additional savings. Having previously arranged new contracts with the Gatineau and Maclaren Quebec companies. the Commission found itself tonight at odds only with the Beauharnols Light, Heat and Power Company. lost of the four Quebec companies to arrange new terms.

Opposition to the “adopt- ation of the proposal that other forms of compclitiv. transportation, together with the railways, be made sub- ject to the rules, regulations

, and restrictions of a costly

ge n e r a I commission u transport” was voiced in a resolution unanimously ad- opted by the Council of the Charlottetown Board of Trade at a special meeting; last night. An act to establish a,‘ Board of Transport Com-| missioners for Canada, to, have control of the fixing of freight rates on goods car- ried not only by railways but by steamship, motor truck, motor bus, and air in, inter-provincial trade is now] before a committee of the. Senate. , The resolution urged also timtl “rile Government and Lcgisluturc of this province take no action of l any kind (other than for the pre- J servation of safety) that lnigilti tend in any vvny to the restraint or ,‘ restriction of competition as be-_ tween various forms of irunsportn- | tion now existant. or that scienti- fic advance may hereafter prod-y uce. both within and to and from this province." ,1 Moved by Mr. A.

.The text appears below.

Speaking briefly to the resolut-

cil that, in his opinion, if the pro- posal of a board of Transport Commissioners was adopted it would mean a. greatly increased freight rate on shipments to and from this province during the summer months. On many classes of freight at the present time thc rate by rail is doubled as soon as navigation closes and water com- petitive ratos are no longer llcccs- sury.
