Power Project in Canada Recounted in Old Story
Ottawa The Beauharnois power project on the St Lawrence river traces to 1800 with a feeder built by the Seigneur Beauharnois. The modern scheme involved a syndicate led by R O Sweezy and a government push amid allegations of irregular concessions and widespread reorganizations. A Commons inquiry condemned five leaders and led Prime Minister Bennett to cancel the concession and plan a government takeover to shield small investors.
