Public ownership debated for Manitoba hydro future
The article weighs public versus private control of power sites in Manitoba. It argues private firms deliver faster results while public systems tax payers during inefficiency, cites Dauphin hosting the Eastern Star and Empire Day collections for the Children’s Aid Society, and lists school collections totaling $89.23. It calls for careful handling of Seven Sisters dam development based on immediate consumer needs and urges protecting power sites for public operation if demand justifies large scale development.
