amount of purchased power available to issue the following notice to municipalities and direct customers of the commission in the southern ontario system effective february 18 1948 and continuing until further notice the daily consumption of kilowatthours shall be restricted to a maximum of 905 of the average daily consumption of kilowatthours in the month of october 1947 this reduction shall not apply to customers whose power supply was interrupted by the commission in october 1947 to the extent of q or more of normal delivery this is a temporary emergency arising from subnormal rain fall last autumn which has forced two of the quebec power companies to drastically reduce their dejiveries of power to the commission this restriction will be lifted just as soon as circumstances per mit and in the meantime all consumers must play their full part by saving electricity at all times if the specified reduction in consumption of electricity is not obtained it will be necessary to cut off
