service meeting the everchanging business conditions satisfactorily it is with pleasure we review our rela tions with our large and ever increasing number of patrons and take this opportunity to wish to all the seasons greetings of goodwill and happiness our aim for the new year will be as in the past the highest quality at the lowest price tho cost of hydro power to mun icipalities over on yongo street is little more than half that imposed on stouffville or markham if all tho municipalities are obtaining power at actual cost of delivery it is strange that there is such a great variation although it might bo un derstandable to those more conver sant with tho system than is the average user the village of stouff ville for instance is paying for power delivered to the suburbs of the village 47 per hp to which is added 250 por hp to tako care of our portion of tho american ex change on monies borrowed by tho commission in tho usa to pay for tho capital setup to our 50 per hp charge is added tho cost of the old plant the dobt on which will bo all paid in another three years in tho meantirhe stouffville cannot ob tain very attractive rates for its users and tho danger is that after the old debt is wiped out the hydro commission may so operate things as to add other burdens to our system that will offset the present payment on old plant stouffvillo must aim for rates
