Mr. Wollatt. In connection with the Essex Board of Utilities Commission.
Mr. Tawney. That is for Essex County?
Mr. Wollatt. For the municipalities in Essex County, opposite Detroit, beginning with Ford, Walkerville, Windsor, Sandwich, Sandwich West, and Ojibway. That is running down the river.
Mr. Magrath. The extreme distance between the two points is what?
Mr. Wollatt. Probably about 12 miles.
Mr. Gardner. Have you full jurisdiction over the whole territory?
Mr. Wollatt. This bill which I have in my hand gives the commission complete jurisdiction. This is an act passed by the Ontario Legislature last session. We just simply wish to report that this act has been granted to the utilities commission, and we are getting busy. We have a meeting this week, at which action will be taken as to what the outcome will be of the matters under discussion. We are in deep sympathy with the water question and the sewage matter; but just what the utilities commission will do we can not say at the present moment. We are not that far advanced yet, except to say, of course, that we will have to be governed by the provincial board of health.
Mr. Tawney. You are subject to the Ontario or Provincial Board of Health?
Mr. Wollatt. Yes.
Mr. Tawney. Have you given any study, or have your engineers given any study, to the report of the sanitary engineers of this commission?
