"SORE OF 16104 South Ontario League Game at Draws Splendid 3% -- "(By Staff Reporter) J : Whith , July 11--Lack of practice cost t "y itby softball squad dear- 1¥ When they fell to the tune of 16-4 ore the Buicks of Oshawa in a efl-attended South Ontario Softball e fixture at the town park last ht, The locals have been leading the league but last night's loss places them about even with the Buicks. Whitby oply counted in the 1st and Oth innings, with two runs for each frame. e Buicks batted well all shiough and scored in every innings except the 2nd, 3rd and 9th. The Buicks succeeded in bringing in one run in the first frame, while Whitby. got off to a better start with Wilkinson and Joynt scoring two runs, Hinks started for the visitors while Neil was in the box for Whit- by. "ihe 2nd and 3rd innings went scoreless but in the fourth the Buicks hit the ball all over the lot, ringing up four more runs before the locals got their bearings, While Whitby was still held scoreless the automobile men earned runs in the Sth and 6th, while in the 7th, they literally enjoyed a field day to bring in eight more runs. The Buicks earned 'another counter in the eighth when Stocks secured a beautiful cir- uit hit. ¥ The locals held the Oshawa batters tightly in the ninth while securing and Rel scoring | the statement that s--battery, Hinks and ski; infield, Rorabeck, Reeves, May- and Cardinal, outfield, Hurst, Stocks and Crouter, : Whitby--battery, Neil and Quin- ston; infield, Bowman, Colley, Flan- nigan and Forrester; outfield, Wilk- inson, Joynt and Hawes.

The Special Committee devoted much study to this phase of the subject. While no admitting that sytem of accountinng adopted by the Commission for mon-owner- ship municipalities was equitable in its application, yet the Special Committee feels that the Commis- sion 1s placed under a serious in- convenience because of the excep tional character of the accounting involved. And it must also be admitted that the matter of local investment creates of itself an im- porant difference, The general satisfaction express- ed by those municipalities having experience of local ownership' has also had strong influence with the Special Committee in arriving at the conclusion that it will be to the best interests of all concerned for those muncipalities in the Cen- tral Ontario System, that have not yet adopted local ownership, to assume that responsibility as soon as such a result may conveni« fently be brought about, The Special Committee there- fore: addressed several questions to Mr. F. A, Gaby, chief engineer of the Hydro Commission, which that capable official has answered at some length. Mr. Gaby's replies: were in an- swer to such questions as theae: (1) What is the method 01 Smug the price asked for loc al 4 buting plants? (2) How are the eosts and ts apportioned where rural lines run out from urban centres? (3) How is the annual cost for power arrived at for each muna- icipality? (4) Does the Commission ex» ercise any form of control over such municipalities as own their own local development and dis- tributing systems? (5) What is the system fol. lowed in arriving at rates in each municipality? (6) Explain the "thirteenth" AS Mr. Gaby's replies are of considerable length and somewhat technical in character, it is felt that it will be better to read them in full to the meeting and thereby avoid the danger of creating a wrong impression by a brief syn- opsis, The Special Committee, having and the other important advan- tages to be derived from an un- broken system of local public own- ership under the general supervi- sion of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, therefore strongly and unanimously recom- mends: 1) That all municipalities within the Central Ontario Power zone that have not yet entared up- on such obligalon shall assume ownership of the local electrical distributing systems, (2) That the councils in all such municipalities be respectful- ly requested to enter ujon negoti- ations with the Hydro Commis- sion, as representing the Govern- ment of Ontario to ascertain at what price the local distributing plants may be secured. (3) That a vote of the rate- payers in all such municipalities be taken at the time of the next municipal election, or at an earli er date, if it is'so desired, upon the question of - purchase of the local distributing plants, Letter From Mr. Gahy The letter from F.

For information, a J. E, PARKER General Agent, Ocean Trafflg C.P.R. Bullding, Toronto m WORLD'S GREATEST TRAVEL SYSTEM Canadian Pacific Ex, Com. fois Ko ARC suid to iy lb vig [CO lc iii electric power commission referred to in the Committee's report, is as follows: June 26th, 1923, Mr, J. O. Herity, Secretary Central Ontario Power Assoc, Belleville, Ontario, Dear Sir: Mr, G, D. Conant in a letter dated June 26th, advises that your Executive is desirous of mak- ing certain recommendations to your Association at a meeting to be held in the near future and' that your officers wish to he poz- sessed of nll possible information in connection with such recom- mendations, I am assuming, ac- cordingly, that you have a kuow- ledge of the quesions Mr. Conant asked in his letter and would say (1) Where rural lines rua out o furban centres, the power is sup- plied to these rural lines and is transformed through the same sta- tion as that supplying the urban centre and lines feeding the rural districts are often the common feed- ers of the local system owned by the town. For the use of these feeders and for the use of the sta- tion, the rural power district pays its proportion of the cost to the town, in Case the transformer sta- tion supplying the town and the rural district is ownéd by the Qommission, the annual costs of the transformer station are shar- ed by the urban centre and the rural power district In proportion to the load delivered to each, (2) The price to be paid by each municipality or tBe property which it will take over will be the amount shown on the Commis- sion's books as having heen spent in the purchase and extension of this property, less unused reserves that have accumulated to the credit of that property. The pur- chase value was determined from information on hand at the time of purchase, consisting chiefly of a physical valuation of the various units making up the system, to- gether with some general informa- tion the Commiseion, on request, received from the hooks of the previous owners of the property. The total purchase price was ac- cordingly split up and assigned to the component parts of the prop- erty. 3) The method of arriving at the annual cost of power to each municipalify is based upon the as- sumption that there is co-operative use of the various integral parts of the generating, transmission and trapsformer systems and the amount each takes is proportioned on the power delivered to each municipality and rural power dis- trict. Where a generating sys- tem consists of many hydraulic plants connected through trans- mission lines, this portion of the system is shared among all the municipalities and other custom-) ers, on a horsepower basis. Ou the Central Ontario system, 2 large portion is thus treated. Power delivered at any point, from this generating system is at equal cost to all users and there are aditional charges where transmission lines an transform- er stations are necessary to get the power to the corporate limits. Here again, the lines and stations where jointly used are shared by the participating municipalities on a horsepower basis. The total amount thus chargeable to the municipalities makes up the an- nual cost, but the revenue is ob- tained monthly from the munici- palities, by billing them at an in- terim rate. An annual adjust- ment and distribution is made of the costs on the basis above at the end of the year and credit for revenue paid is given to the mun- icipality. J2 case it has paid too much by the interim rate, a re- turn is made at the end of the year and if an insufficient amount | bas ben obtained from the reven- ue, an additional charge is made. | £4). The Hydro-Electric Pow- TOURIST THIRD CABIN 'control over rates in mom-Hydro municipalities. It is not the poli- ey of the Commission to interfere with the rates of municipalities who own their utilities and gen- erate their.own power, but in cer- tain instances these municipali- ties have called upon the Commis- sion to advise -them concerning rates. The Act, however, provides for control over these rates. (5) Where a Hydro munici- pality owns the distribution sys. tem, the Commission fixes the rates after collaborating with the local commission in charge of the utility in that municipality. The rates, however, are governed by cost and the Commission annually analyses the cost incurred by the local commission in managing the utility and thus determines what adjustments shall be made In thre customers, The revenue or ac- cumulated surplus avajlable from the operation of a local Hydro utility must be dealt with and controlled in a very defipite man. ner, as provided by the Act. In general. in such a way that the benefit therefrom is enjoyed by the electric light customers. For example these funds may be used to extend the system {instead of issuing additional debentures, or these funds may be held and in- vested in securities, bringing in annual interest, thus relieving in- terest charges on the operation of the utility in the torm of deben- tures, etc., the securities usually invested in being Provincial bonds. These surpluses, in so far as they may come from the rev. enue from street lighting, water works, power or other municipal services are periodieally return. able to the Town Treasurer as dl- ected by the Hydo-Electric Power Commission. You will thus see that the Local Commisson has not power to distribute thes: as it may see fit, nor has the Hydro- Electric Power Commission the right .to distribute them except along specific and definite chan- nels, as set out in the Act. (6) The necessity for the thirteenth bill arises from the tact that the Commission needs current revenue to meet Its ex- penses throughout the year and cannot predetermine exactly the actual cost of the power supplied to the municipality in the meaning of the Act, which requires the Commission to charge it with the operating charges, the cost of power, the interest on the invest- ment,: sinking fund to meet the retirement of the plant, etc, The actual cost, - therefore, is not known until the Commission makes a minute study and .accur- ate adjustment after all the char- ges are on its books, Ifithe cur- 'rent revenue collected through the year, meets this cost exactly, there is no thirteenth bill. Since this would hardly be predetermined rates to the different classes of. GOLF.
