procession from t missed the turn to the cemetery and passed the place only to dis cover its error after travelling a mile beyond some persons who would liked to have attended this funeral as well as

direct by the hydro- electric power commission of ontario r o j0 i 8 o o n o o n o o n o o n o e n o o uniform rural meter rate anywhere in ontario 54 our lastadvertiscmcnt illustrated the reductions which will apply to farm and hamlet services in most areas in the province herein we give some of the reasons for and benefits of the new uniform meter rate the cost of rural electric service is made up of two main parts 1 the cost of providing electricity in bulk at convenient central points substations 2- the cost of distributing this electricity from these substations to the user j since electricity cannot be stored it is necessary to provide lines made up of poles conductor transformers etc to carry the electricity from the substation to the consumer so that each user will have ser vice available at the flip of a switch to the cost of building these lines must be added the cost of maintaining and operating them electric service rates originally included a service charge tocover the cost of distribution plus a meter rate to cover the cost of the bulk electricity at the substation the province was divided into a number of rural power districts created around available substations without particular regard to township or county boundaries each dl these districts had its own power meter rate varying from a high of 6c 2c and c to a low of two and a half one and a half and c during the past twenty years many complications and inequalities have arisen in trying to maintain the identity of these districts there fore in order to provide suitable service to all at the lowest and fairest cost the 120 rural power districts have been combined into one provincial rural power system- with a uniform meter rate of- 4c 1 610th cts and c now all rural power consumers anywhere in the prdvincepay the same meter rate this uniform rate represents a reduction in most of the old districts and an increase in only a few districts formerly having a very low rate these explanations are given to help- you understand the new trw next messa we shall discuss for your benefit the minimum bill in the meantime if you need further information please ask your rural district superintendent the hydroelectric power commission of ontario in order to have a complete understanding of the new rural rates we suggest you clip and keep these explanations o p o 0 o o n o o a o sale
