AGREEMENT NEAR
ON WATERPOWER
Remaining Differences Be-
tween New York and On
tario MinimiZed.
Ry tic Associated Press.

by 'lt Associated Press.
TORONTO. Ontario, November ID
Ontario and New York State have
agreed on methods of developing Can
adian-American waterways. and, so
far as Ontario is concerned the dis
agreements between the two countries
experts on the Canadian-A American
Commission are Of 'relatively minor
importance" said the Evening Tele-
gram yesterday.
THE plans of the Hydro Electric
Power commission of Ontario" the
paper says, are emphatic in their in
Sistence upon the tWo-stage develop
ment. These plans have been on file
with the federal government for a
couple OF years now Ratification has
been withheld by the federal cabinet
until the report of the joint commits
sion should be released.
Disagreement Minimized.
'nimportance of the disagreement
on the commission arises through the
substantial agreements arrived at be-
tween the New York State Waterways
Commission and the Ontario Hydro
Electric Commission.
while the international commission
was still in session the State and pro
Vincial commissions met i'll Il series
of conferences and agreed upon
method Of development. tentative
boundary changes to decide cost and
production for the benefit Of each.
The plans of the Ontario Power COM
mission were submitted to the New
York state authorities"
After pointing out that the New
York authorities will not issue leases
10 private corporations for power de
relopment except upon plans agree
able to the Hydro Electric Commits
sion. the paper says:
This means that development, so
far rs Ontario is concerned. will be
upon the tWO-stage plan. with dams
and power houses located at the sites
designated in the Hydro Electric Pow
er Commission plans. which now await
Ottawa ratification.
"rhe international report appears,
by itself, to be inclusive. inaSmuch as
it leaves this important matter TO the
decision of the governments involved.
"AS New York makes the leases for
that Siie of the river. as Ontario will
conduct the construction operations on
this side under public ownership. and
as these two units are already sub
stantially agreed on procedure to be
followed. the international report does
not leave such a wide gap as may be
imagined
