PICTURE NO. 21 OntARIO Municipar Erectric Association What Hydro Has Saved Domestic Consumers » PUBLICITY COMMITTEE: Chairman, Controller James Simpson, Toronto Frank L. Mason, Oshawa T. W. McFarland, London Hydro has saved the citizens of the associated Hydro municipalities tens of millions of dollars for electric service. And in addition, it has made possible the enjoyment of comfortâ€"giving and laborâ€"saving appliances on a scale that, but for low Hydro rates, would have been beyond the means of the average citizen. The facts about Hydro speak for themselves. In 1932, the last year for which comparative figures are available, all the domestic consumers served by Hydro municipalities used an aggregate of 740,000,000 kilowattâ€"hours, for which they paid the aggregate sum of $11,676,000, or an average cost, inclusive of all charges, of only 1.57 cents per kilowattâ€"hour. According to United States census figures for 1932, the domestic consumers served by privatelyâ€"owned utilities in that country paid an average of 5.60 cents per kilowattâ€"hour. It is a simple matter to compute that, if Ontario Hydro domestic consumers had had to pay, for the 740,000,000 kilowattâ€"hours they used in 1932, as much per kilowattâ€"hour as United States consumers paid, their bills would have aggregated the vast sum of $41,490,000, or nearly $30,000,000 more than tfig amount their electricity actually cost them under Hydro service.

After the defeat of the Hearst Gov‘t in 1919, they have practically rested on their oars, and failed to keep alive the Temperance spark, that was such a factor in days past in holding down the enthusiasm of "wet" agitators. After the defeat of the O.T.A., they felt their cavse lost and instead of tLing to new heights of endeavor, submitted to the inevitable. What is needed in their ranks today are a About the only thing that can be done now, is to see in the nomination of candidates, their attitude regardâ€" ing this new measure and support them accordingly. A rather strange impression or feeling is uppermost, that if a Conservative upholds the new bill,â€"well that is his pleasure. But if a Liberal, U.F.O., or whatever have you. vote that way, it is a deadâ€" ly pill for him to swallow. Why this discrepancy in feeling? The move on the part of Fremier Henry, in acquiescing to his friends th‘s privilege, has surely weakened him in the eyes of the Temperance citizens of Ontario, who understood him to be a man of his word. Imagine the late Sir J. P. Whitney giving ir. to pressure from his colleagues! But the new measure may also strengthen Premier Henry‘s voting power in Onâ€" tario. The urban ceutres that carry the preponderance of voting power, go with the wine and beer measure. Then too, the cutting off of 20 memâ€" bers in the Ontario House, was done very advantageously to benefit the antiâ€"temperance sentiment and the temperance ridings left to register their disapproval of the new Act, are that many fewer in numbers. Henry to change his mird.~â€" It is a good thing for a leader to Ahave a flexible mind, for as évents occur, he car, adapt himself to them readily. The Premier, it will be recalled, in the early days o f this Parliament, was adamant re allowing his ~liquor friends to sway bim over, in their desires for the freer promotion of wine and beer sales. â€" Now the Rreâ€" m!erâ€"oee& eye to eye with themâ€" wants it a nonâ€"political issue in the coming election, and to do this propâ€" erly, it was essential that the Govâ€" ernment should take the responsibilâ€" ity themselves and vote in a new measuré. We are not saying anything regarding the merits or demerits of the bill itself, for we think everyboâ€" dy who reads the ‘Review‘, knows our att‘tude on the matter. ‘ ‘i*‘ Purkvm Acview C. RAMAGE & SON, Editors and PREMIER HENRY PLAYS SAFE * Two things that entered largely in to the discuszsions the past week, have "been the defeat of Toronto Maple Leafs in hockey by the Detroit Red Wiugs, and the vote in the Proâ€" vincial House of Parliament, which statedi in ro> uncertain terms that we mwhuvetbevlmndbeerwith us once more. . The former event is now past history Ahowever, while the latter is of coming import and only but casting its shadows before us. What the shadows that fall after us regarding this new law, will be like, is difficalt to say.
