BuccOIUich Tells Council
1870 Would SaUe Under
Proposed Rates.

During the October billing period
75.4 per cent of the consumers would
have paid less under the rate schedule
for the proposed one-meter electric
system than under the present schedule.
This was revealed in a report given
the council Tuesday evening by Paul
Buccowich, Jr., superintendent of the
water and light department.
The number benefitting increased
from Y per cent for September to
75.4 per cent for October.
The number who would pay more
under the adjustment in rates, which is
one of the primary purposes of the
new plan, decreased from 20 per cent
in September to 18.5 for October.
Also decreasing to 6.1 per
cent-was the number paying more
because of the increased minimum rate
of IS cents. It is now so cents.
Loss of income to the city, which in
turn is a savings to the consumers,
is $473.46 for October, as compared
with $222.67 for September.
A savings not previously pointed out
is in meters, which will concern both
the city and home owners alike.

l would respectfully call the at
tention of the Members of Con-
gress who are interested in Ca
madam sovereignty to Article 5
of the St. Lawrence Waterway
Treaty. This Article protects
Canadian sovereignty over all
structures lying on the Canadian
side, even though these struct-
ures have been built with Unit
ed States money.
81 would also call the atten-
tion of the Members of Congress
to one of the articles of the st.
Lawrence Waterway Treaty
which states that all British
shipping in all parts of the en-
pire shall have the right to nav
igate in the Great Lakes and st.
Lawrence Waterway for all time.
This means that all British
ships, as we'll as all Canadian
ships, shall have access through
the deepened water channels to
the head of Lake Superior. The
Great Lakes becomes the Medit-
eranean Sea of North America.
The Waterway will thus provide
a direct route for the shipment
of grain, flour, coal and other
comodities betwene interior Can
ada and Great Britain. We thus
will have Windsor, Hamilton,
Toronto, Kingston, Montreal, and
Quebec on an invaluable impe-
rial trade artery connection with
"the Mother Country" and in di-
rect competition with the Unit
ed States.
81 respectfully call the atten-
tion of the Members of Congress,
who are real and true friends of
the American Farmer, to these
facts"

"Some time ago the United
States and Canada entered into
an agreement known as the st.
Lawrence Waterway Treaty.
This Waterway, to my mind,
will cost the United States gov
ernment one billion dollars and
certainly by the farthest stretch
of the imagination would not
come under the category of
defense project. Not only this,
the United States by this agree
ment abandons it's ancient con-
tention that Lake Michigan is
an american Lake This body
of water has become forever,
through this new agreement, an
international body of water
which belongs to the st. Law
renee Watershed instead of to
the Mississippi Watershed.
"The construction of this Wat
erway would, in my opinion, cost
the Canadian treasury only about
S38,OO0,OO0. Most of the con-
struction work will be done IN
Canada, which means Canadian
engineers, Canadian labor, and
Canadian materials will be used.
