courtesy and obliging manner which oe Vol. 9 STRATFORD, FEB. 26, 1932 =e ee No. 39 Stratford Has Many Talented Boys and Girls There is no gainsaying the fact that among Stratford boys and girls we have talent galore. Some of the draw- ing of Jolly Jingles sent in are most cleverly done. Among the best _receiv- ed was that drawn by Catherine Pig- on, 154 Cobourg St. The coloring and lettering is out of the ordinary. This is the secend time that Cobourg Street . girls have won. Maybe these girls get their inspiration from the beauty with which they are so closely surrounded. "Bud" Dixon is the winner of this week's original drawing, Copies of Jolly Jingles are exempt from the contest, but the coloring of the copy sent in by Harold Creasy, 77 Bruns- wick Street is so well done that we are giving tickets to the Majestic The- atre 'to all three contestants. They are: Catherine Pigeon, Bud Dixon and 'Harold Creasy. . The rules of the contest, however, must be kept in mind which is that _ copies of Jolly Jingles cut out of The Mirror and colored cannot be consid- ered. The object is this to develop or- iginality in the contestants.

Commission Report Here are a few interesting facts, gleaned from the report of the Pub- lic Utilities Commission for the past year: The average "daily cost per con- sumer for domestic power in the city for 1931 was 9.54 cents. The average daily consumption, per consumer, was 5.78 kilowatt hours. There were 4,321 consumers of do- mestic power in the city last year. Industria] power was the only de- partment to show a decrease in con- sumption. Although there was an in- crease in the number of consumers, the consumption dropped owing to shorter working hours in local plants. The average monthly peak load for the year increased from 7,331 horse- power in 1930 to 7,416 horsepower in 1931, The peak load has come on Mon- day only once and on Saturday only once in the past three years. Tues: days and Wednesdays are the most popular days for the monthly peak load, Replacements of 'street lights was heavier in 1931 than in either of the two previous years. This was caused partly by more bulbs being wilfully destroyed, and partly by limbs falling across the lines and burning out the bulbs, Stratford consumers used 428,266,000 gallons of water during the year, The Leaving Stratford!
