IF 111 IT
HFFFALO, N Y. Aug f« one of
th<* greatest water development proj
ects of the many centering about Ni
agara Falls has been launched on the
Canadian sid»* of the river It con
templates an immediate production of
.'{Oo.ooo electrical horsepower. or
equal to .approximately one-half the
present total development on both
sides oi the river, and it may expand
to i.unu.nuu horsepower.
Actual work on the new channel
was begun recently by the Ontario
hydro commission There were no
ceremonies, and the launching of the
work was virtually unknown to the
general publb The channel will en
circle the city of Niagara Falls, Out .
running from the Welland river, n
tributary of the Niagara above the
cataract, to the escarpment below
Quecnston heights The power house
will he located on the river level al
most at the foot of Hrock’s monu
ment.
The channel is the first one planned
to get the full benefit of the differ
ence in level between Laks Krle and
Ontario, approximately 300 feet The
old companies, with penstocks located
elose to the foot of the cataract, get
a head of about 200 feet. The addi
tional 100 feet head, it is estimated,
will make it possible to develop the
300,000 horsepower with the same
flow of water required to develop
lOo.onn horsepower at the falls.
While the units under construction
for the power house are planned to
produce only 3nn,nno horsepower, flu*
canal it self will he built to allow a
future flow of water capable nf treb

The Ontario hydro commission is a
provincial bedy. appuinJed by he On
tario government It distributes
power to Ontario nmnicipalitle within
a radius ot mil* s of the alls at
lew coSt \ large part of the current
: ••moated on th. Canadian side, for
merly exported ami distributed by an
American corporation, has been cut
oft'. Canadian power for Canadian in
dustries has been the motto ^ Sir
Adam Beck, chairman of the commis
sion. and war conditions have brought
a speedier application of the policy
than had been expected.
To replace the Canadian current
thus lost, a stream generating plant
has been built here, with an ultimate
capacity of 1 to.eon horsepower. Steam
plants and water power plants far
down the state have been drawn noon
to keep Buffalo factories going Part
of the current from the new hydro
plant will he available for American
industries, but only those engaged in
war work. Sir Adam has announced
Under the treaty between Canada.
Cirent Britain and the United States
the diversion of water on the Cana
dian side is limited to 'tfi.ono cubic
feet a second. The limit on the
American side is L’o.ooo feet.
Canada already has authorized the
diversion of all hut fi.000 cubic feet
of her allotment. Under ■ mcial war
permits the American companies an*
also within a few hundred feet of
their limit.
The new channel will carry off about
10.000 pubic feet of water a second.
This v ill necessitate some readjust
ment rf the allowances of the other
Canadian companies unless the treaty
is modified This has led to sugges
tion* of consolidation of all the Cana
dian .ompanles and the i.aort.ftoo
horsepower development
