First Commission Mrs Ben Rachlin Details Acton Hydro History
The Free Press notes a gap in local history filled by Mrs Ben Rachlin. It recalls the first Acton Hydro Electric Commission formed in 1921 with William Gould as chairman, George Hynds and George Barber as trustees, Miss Ethel Starkman as secretary treasurer, and Charles Wilson as superintendent. Rachlin, then Starkman, worked in H N Farmer's office and later ran the commission while clerking and tallying meters by hand before automated billing. Her account highlights early municipal electricity work and her own legal-leaning interests.
