There is a fair and very gratifying registration despite trying times which all in- stitutions of a similar character have to face. Tuesday was registration day, and young ladies from all over the country began to arrive in the col- lege halls, It was a busy day for the principal, dean, and other members of the staff.

It will be noted that in eleven years time the Hydro have in- creased the "cost" of power" by exactly 312.83 per h.p. And this is not all the picture. Up until 1928, Whitby purchased power from the Hydro at distribution voltage (4100 volts); zsince then at transmission voltage (44,000 volts).

It would appear to be fair to say that Whit- by is now paying $43.53 for pow- er at local distribution voltage, which is an increase over 1921 costs of 60 per cent. The local Commission are order- ed to maintain the same local rates and are unofficially advised to de- liberately allow a deficit at the end of the year. But in the meantime, the Hydro must get $5000.00 for increased power charges in this municipality.

It must not be presumed that Whithy alone is in trouble over Gatineau power contracts or New York Exchange. The information is that every municipality on the Eastern system is in the same boat and that the municipalities com- prising the Niagara system will | feel the pinch even more. The idea |of the Hydro seems to be to com- pel the local municipalities to de- plete their reserves and absorb this raise in wholesale power rates, with the expectation that the de- | pression is about to lift and the Canadian dollar come up to par. The local Commission have no [intimation that the H.E.P.C. intend [to absorb anything, notwithstand- [ing that they have reserves on the Kasten system (according to 1931 | Blue Book) amounting to over four million dollars. Instead, it has beep suggested to the local Commission that instead of writing off approxi- {mately $2600 for Depreciation | (1931 figures) it might be post- | poned in 1932 for some future date when Hydro power costs might be lat a less amount than $40.00, It appears to be quite clear that [the H.E.P.C. are so extremely nervous over the power situation [that they are determined that in- |ereased power charges in 1922 {shall not be passed on to the ulti- | mate consumer. Raising the Rates It must not be supposed that the {local Commission have the least in- [tention of raising rates to meet | this difficult situation. Rather, [they had expected to be in a posi- tion to further reduce the present {schedule--which is already lower |than any other city or town on the Eastern system, save and except, Ottawa, Brockville, and perhaps, Peterborough. The H.E.P.C. will say that the depression gs alone responsible for the Gatinedu power situation and that when England went off the Gold Standard the Canadian Dol- lar slumped in New York, that nei- ther of these calamities were within their control, that they are sorry but will the municipalities please pay. The Public Utility Commission meeting broke up at a late hour after many phases of the situation had been discussed. It was decided to allow the situation to further develop. and in the meantime to collect all available information and to get in touch with neighbor- ing municipalities to the east, --to the end that conce action would likely prove fa: o effect- ive than scattered in... idual pro- tests.

At King Street School 79 per cent of the pupils have deposits gin the bank.

Average Prices No More Piles How to End Terrible Agony Without Salves or Cutting Thousands of Pile sufferers do not know that the cause of Piles is internal--bad circulation of blood in the lower bowel. That is the scientific truth about Piles--the real reason why salves and suppositories do not give permanent relief, why cutting does not remove the cause, Your itching, hleeding or pro- truding Piles will only go when you actually remove the cause and not one minute before. Ex- ternal treatments can't do this an internal medicine should be used. HEM-ROID, the prescrip- tion of Dr. J. S, Leonhardt, suc- ceeds because it stimulates the circulation, drives out congest- ed blood, 'heals and restores the almost dead parts. HEM-ROID tablets have an al- most unbelievable record of suc- cess. So why waste time on ex- ternal remedies or worry about an operation when Jury & Lov- ell and druggists everywhere in- vite every sufferer to try HEM- ROID with guarantee of money- back if it does not end their ithe case?
